FLORENCE
On the 1st of this month Robt. Cottam
young man who works inthe foundry
met with severe and painfnl accident
whilst engaged at his work near one OF
the large pits in which the tasks and
mouids are placed previous to pouring
the pipes. In adjusting one of the TASKS
hammer that had been used in doing
come part Of the work was struck by the
lowering flask and it bounced forward
and hit young Cottam on the forehead
and knocked him down into the pit and
be fell on the side Of an iron tank and
received additional wounds on his head
and side rendering him insensibIe and in
which condition he was taken to his
home. I have since learned that he has
began to recover, but slowly.
Our town is still the scene of much re-
ligious rejoicing as the penitents are com.
ing forward in an unusual manner and it
is hoped that the good now being done
viii be lasting, as blessing both to the
recipients and also those closely connect
ed to them. There was to be a number
of young converts baptized on Sunday,
but the inclemency of the weather
the day previous rendered it impossi-
Bile on account of the snow drifts
and floating ice in the river.
On Sunday morning our neat little
town looked splendid in its robes OF
white, and as citizens we are thankful for
the prompt and efficient manner by which
our sidewalks and paths through the
town were cleaned by the Company's snow
plow. Thanks be to the Supt. and driver
for their promptness in causing no delay
in travel.
Our Methodist brethren still continue
to have good meetings and we hope much
good will come therefrom.
Mr.. Editor, many of US here are glad to
see the clean new dress put on by your
paper, we wish it success, both in a point
of conveying intelligence to all its readers
and in financial point of view fer its
owners. Quill.

thermometer above zero 80 you can

eleven wagons that came from short dis

think there must have been at least FIVE
hundred spectators, the day being bright

the occasion, and all that saw seemed to
be happy, and it will no doubt be time
long TO be remembered by many as one of
the great events of our usually quiet
town.
The religious feeling still continues
strong at the NJ. f. church, and many are
coming forward and confessing their sins
through the simple gospel as preached by
the Rev. Mr.. Townsend and may much
good come from it,
Great joy-for sinners still do come,
And surround the Mercy Seat.
With tears of penitence do moan,
Kneeling at their Sayiour's feet.
And may the solemn VOWS be strong,
In faith that is never shaken.
May the bonds be firm and long,
And the wicked way forsaken.
