Willie Campbell, whose accident
was mentioned two weeks ago, is
getting along well. 1t was some
eighteen hours before he came to
himself sufficient to recall and relate
the circumstances. It turns out that
he fell distance of about thirty-two
feet-from near the ridge of the
barn down through the purlins and
beams to the barn floor. At the pur-
Inns he fell in with board and a
pan of nails, the whole of which &C
companied him through the rest of his
journey to the lower regions. He bears
the serious consequence of his mis-
fortune like Indian sachem.
