Some six weeks ago the large
foot driving wheel of the mill
Of Hunter, Benn & Co. was broken,
snd the mill has been idle ever since.
Last Saturday the new one arrived
and every u around :he mill had a
broad smile on their c~ountcnanccs.
But s':here's many a slip twixt cup
and lip," and so it proved in this in
stance. While unloading the wheel,
weighs some six tons, it made
a slip and fell, breaking u of The
lion arms. What was 10 be done
now? As it was an arm broken a
20 -geon was soon IN demand, aud
Alderman Luce was Immediately sent
for. On examining the fracture
he seeing II could be cured
by proper treatment, at once applied
iron splints and bandagcs, and
made as fine a job of it as any one
would wish 10 see. The broken arm
Is now she strongest in The wheel.
