LEG AMPUTATED.-A month or more ago

accidentally got his foot caught in steam
thresher, while at work at John McIlvaine's,
near Fawn Grove, injuring his foot so severely
that it was found advisable 10 amputate the
leg at the ankle joint. The limb did not heal
as 1t was expected 1t would and another opera
tion was deemed necessary. This was perform
ed last week by DR.. j. W. Cochran, of Havrc de
Grace, and DIR. j. W. Harkins, of Norrisville, as
sisted by Drs. Payne, Hawkins, Free and Ges-
ling.
DEDICATION OF CHURCH.-The new Deer
Creek M. P. Church was dedicated, last Sunday,
with appropriate ceremonies. The dedicatory
sermon was preached in the morning by Rev.
j. l.. Kilgore, d. D., of Hampden, Baltimore
county, and at night a sermon was preached by
Rev. j. NJ. Yingling, of Fawn Grove, former
pastor of the church. The collection, which
amounted to S115, is sufficient to pay off the
entire Indebtedness upon the building. The
church was well filled AT both services. Rev.
s. F. Cassen pastor of the church, took part in
the services.
The new edliice is situated near the old one
upon lot of ground given to the congregation
