chased the farm as an investment and

Ira Pratt met with q painful acct

morning. Mr.. Pratt was employed by
Mr.. Moon and had been assigned to
cutting corn in the morning. He took
the corn knife, grabbed several stalks
of corn in bunch, and gave blow
to cut the stalks at once. The knife
passed through the stalks and into
the side of one of his knees, passing
through the trousers and flesh, to the
bone. He was brought to the city and
the wound dressed by DR.. Pease. Sew
eral stitches we're necessary. There
is some danger of stiff joint being
caused bv the accident.
st. Peter Journal: we have re-
ceived at this Office a personal COM
munication from q patient at the hos
pital here, which is to say the least in
teresting. Our correspondents name
is William Jayne, an old soldier. Aside
from letter covering nearly hun
dred pages, the communication con-
tains story both in prose and poetry
i that strings out some three hundred
pages. Our unfortunate friend i'm
AGNES that the asylum is hell and the
article is, therefore, a hot one. It is
we'll composed, however, and must
have taken a long time to shape it
We should be glad to give it position
in our columns, but limited space for,
bids. We shall keep it as a souvenir
of Mr.. Jayne's philosophy, and hope
: he will feel privileged to write Ut
whenever he pleases.
