Sad Accidents.

One day recently as William Walker
and Solomon Bishop were passing l..
ID. BlancEard's house on Main street
with an OK team, a 3000-pound rock
few from the blast across Deerfeld
river, about fifty rods away, and struck
Mr.. Walker, carrying him with it
down into the ice and snow out of
sight and literally tearing him in
pieces, scattering the brain, lungs,
shoulder, arm, heart, stomach, intes-
tines and left leg all in larger Or small
err pieces. Portions of the body were
found embedded in the earth beneath
four feet of ice and snow. After doing
its fatal work, the rock bounded off
about 10 feet and lodged in the street.
Mr.. Walker was an unmarried man,
aged %, Of Industrious habits, and
leaves a widowed mother and two sis
tiers, aged and 9, who were depend
ent on him for support. A little later
on the same day, Henry Douglas,
foreman on the mason work, fell from
q wall some Is feet into the wheel-pit
at Newton Brothers pulp-mill, badly
laceruting his forehead and slightly
fracturing the skull. His injuries,
though serious, are not likely to prove
fatal. He has been at work here but
a short time, having succeeded Mr..
Francis Williams, who was killed on
the same work.

CRYING to do business without adj

The lecture at the Town Hall, on

to with marked attention by his audi
ence which was rather diminutive in
size. He didn't tlatter the Pilgrims
any, and the Nihilists of Russia he
characterized as patriots. This con-
stituted the 1.-TWO Mistn kes.' the title
of his lecture.
Were you ever sick? If you were
not, you cannot appreciate the blessing
of health-that's what they have been
telling US. Now we have got it (the
sick) and we suppose we will be ready
to appreciate the adage when we get
well. Well, we have got an alveolar
abscess. Our right cheek sticks out
