Mr. Lewis II. Ahalt u farmer living about
q miles southwest of this place met with Il
painful accident about half past o clock last
Wednesday afternoon. Whilst cndcavoring
to pull loose straw from the binder OF his
reaper his right hand was caught by the nee
die, which tore through the flesh back of the
third and fourth fingers and penetrating the
back Of the hand between the second and
third fingers, came ont between the thumb
and forctingcr. DR. Bccklcy was called out
to dress the wound, which is severe one.
On the same day in the same nciyhborhood
Mr.. CLAYTON T. Kemp thrust his hand into
the binding attachment OF his reaper TO EEn-
choke il, when the needle ran through the
palm Of his hand, laccrctng 1t very badly.

that we refer to the semi-annual statement
showing the condition Of the Valley Savings
'ank Of this place at The close of business
0n the Gosh ult., which Is published III anoth-

with the next proceeding one sued on the
first of January Mst, shows most gratifying
increase in business and a growth which
gives promise that in the near future all the

cent fort it is. Would seem almost impossi-
bic for any vessel to pass this fort.
A small island was pointed out to me bya
gentleman on board called Nck's Mate. A
very singular story was given me about this
island:
During the Colonial Times, the captain
of vessel was murdered and his mate ac-
cused of the deed. Finally he was to be
hung, and was taken to this island, then
quite an island IN SIZE. When upon the gal
lows, he still insisted upon his innocence he
told them that if they hung him for this
crime of which he was innocent, the island
would sink from sight, as ar evidence of his
innocence" 1t is now not much larger than
an ordinary building gradually sinking
each year. When he was hung it contain
ed several acres of land, now hardly that
many square yards, and will soon be lost to
sight.
Sailing up the bay we passed near by the
famous vessel, VWuateer lying at anchor. She
is a beautiful yacht. Finally we reached the
great city of Boston. Here all on board babe

seven miles in one day, going over the
