A Heavy Hole.

In a manufacturing city of New
England, not many years since, there
was a young man from the Gin of the
Say" employed as bookkeeper in @
large machine shop and foundry. 1t
one time two castings were made for q
customer. each casting about three feet
square and eight inches thick; one
solid. and the other having a circular
hole in it about twenty inches in dia-
meter. He entered both in his books
as solid. Discovering his mistake, he
computed the weight of piece of cast
iron twenty inches in diameter and
eight inches thick. when he corrected
his erroneous entry by giving the Gus
toner credit in the following manner.

such motive, aud gave apparently good
reasons for disposing OF tho man.
The newly organized Axle Workers

ment may be faithfully kept by the in.
dividual members. The arbitration

camille lie and commenced an active
course Of reading, and MS pastime paint

remarkable talent, gaining quite local
reputation on account of character
sketching. He was considered good

the proper care of his health; serious
colds followed, sowing the seed OF con-
sumption, which fatal disease was the
cause Of his final dissolution in the
meridian OF life.

Interesting surgical Operation.

A rather interesting surgical operation
was performed in this city a few days
ago. Last week child was born to MIR.
and Mrs. John Unfried, who live near
the LaBelle mill. In the exigencies at
tending its birth the little ones leg was
injured, but it was not supposed to be
badly hurt. Five days later DR.. Pipes
was called in, and upon examination
found that the infants thigh was broken.
The baby was very restless and fretful,
but while the doctor was arranging the
broken bone it went to sleep, and rested
quietly while the bandages and plaster
supports were being applied. The case
derives its peculiar interest from the ex-
tremely tender age Of the patient, the
baby being a few hours less than five
doya old - THaaag q. s--gs 3 4 l. 80 J. -
