A Very Sad Accident.

Our fellow townsman Mr.. John
Cummings received last week the
distressing intelligence that his
oldest son had met with q serious
accident while attending to his
duties as baggageman, at Norfolk,
Nebraska. The Norfolk Journal Of
October 3ist, gives the following
particulars of the sad affair:
On Monday night, as the trainmen
on the C. st. P. M. o. road were
doing switching at Hoskins, Jack
Cummings, the baggagemen, in
endeayoring to climb q detached
moving freight car, missed his foot
ing and was thrown partly under
the wheels, his left foot being caught
and crushed to jelly from the knee
down. After the occurrence Engin-
Ger Murphy in being called back by
another brakeman, took out his
han dkerchief and tied it tightly
above the mangled part of the leg
to check the flow Of blood, and then
ran to the depot and telegraphed
DR.. Bear to be at the depot here on
arrival OF train. When he returned
to where the accident occurred, he
found that Jack had left with the
assistance OF his associate brakeman,
who held up the crushed log while
Jack hoped on one foot to the
engine, and where he was found by
Murphy lying on the tender on the
coal. He was removed from this
uncomfortable position, and carried
on Postal Clerk Reeds back to the
baggage car, he jumping on Reeds
dack without assistance. Mr.. Muir.
ply says he never in all his life
saw man with equal nerve to that
displayed by Cummings, as he at
no time flinched or complained at
his distressing and painful condition.
He was placed upon q bed in the
comfortable room of the round
house, where he received the atten-
ton Of railroad men for which they
are SO noted. The general officers
also telegraped Agent Gordon to pro-
cure nurses and skillful physicians
and provide for Cummings in every
way for his welfare, and to see that he
was made comfortable. DR.. Bear con-
Quoted the amputation of the hor-
ribly lacerated leg, ably assisted by
DR.. Daniels and DR.. +. A. Long.

Platteville Witness: Seven large
oat stacks and one stack of clover,
belonging to Mr.. /. 8. e. Washburn,
of the town of Clifton, were destroy
ed by fire on the night Of the 18th
inst. The stacks were all standing
together in tho field. and the fire
was evidently the work Of an incen-
diary. The loss is estimated at
about 81 200. Last winter Mr.. Wash
burns was destroyed in the same
manner. It is to be hoped the in
cendiary will be terrified out and
punished as he deserves.
Mr.. C. N. Gregory, Of Madison
who spoke here on Saturday even
ing last, won for himself many
admiring friends, by the candid
and gentlemanly manner in which
he discussed the political questions
of the day. His arguments were
able and convincing. and entirely
free from abuse. A young man Of
pleasing address, and possessing the
culture of a true gentleman. he
made q most favorable impression
upon all whose good fortune it was
to hear him. He remained in our
city over Sunday, and returned to
his home in Madison on Monday

crowded to standing room. Those
who were not fortunate enough to

At half past ten o'clock the following
priests entered the church: Rev.
Fathers Harmon Of Darlington,
Luby Of Ridgewsy, Weinhart OF

ceeded by Father Hishen as dea-
con, and Father Kelly as sub-dea.

honor to themselves. After the last
additions Rev. Father Harmon
assembled the altar and delivered
an eloquent sermon on the unbloody
sacrifice of the New Law, taking for
his text the words Let no one take
to himself the honor but he that
is called Of God as Aaron was"
The Rev. speaker dwelt upon the
significance of his text, the ne

priesthood, and the sublimity Of it
functions. The priesthood for sac
rifce, which has always been the
highest act of homage from the

from the beginning. God estab-
lished it in the old law, gave it TO
his people who kept it till Christ
came. The idea Of sacrifice has ex-
listed even among the Pagans, who
were convinced Of il, and they
erected affairs to the supreme one

deemer, the speaker continued,
abolished the sacrifices Of the old
law and replaced them by his OWE

This is to visit the sick in pestllence

Mr.. Jacob johnson, of this place,
last Monday borrowed horse of Mr.
Franklin Nye to use with his own and
brought him to town in the afternoon,
leaving him as he supposed all right
i'm a stall at Johnson's livery stable.
In about half an hour he returned and
tried to lead the horse out of the stall
and found him very lame. An exam
nation revealed that some miscreant
had thrust buckskin needle threaded
with horse-hair into the horse's fore
leg a few inches below the knee, in
such a position as to cause severe
pain and lamenesS to the animal. 1t
would appear that the work must have
been done by some one having con-
siderable acquaintance with the anato-
nv of the horse, and the inevitable
conclusion would seem to be that some
person must have done the villainous
act probably thinking that the cause
of the lamenes might not be discoV-
cred and the animal would be sold
cheap in consequence.
