A Very Singular Accident.-In THE
UNION last week brief mention was made of an
accident that happened to Albert Francis, aged
10 years, son of the late Charles Francis, of
Glen Arm, 18th district. Since then the facts
in the case have come to our knowledge
Young Francis was staying with his brother
inl law, Mr.. Solomon Yoder. who lives near
Unionville, and one day he undertook, with
out assistance. to cut up. lot OF fodder by
horsepower. He was working at the machine,
using pocket knife to cut the bands. While
thus engaged his coat-tail caught in the cogs OF
the machine and he was being steadily drawn
into it. He struggled with all his might to
free himself and finally did so by reason of the
fact that the coat gave way. The open knife
be still held in hand and in the effort to free
himself from what must have appeared to him
to be certain death, he somehow plunged the
knife blade into bis head just behind the right
ear. He drew the blade out, stopped the ma
chine and went to the house to tell his sister
what had happened. He wanted to 60 to the
doctors, but she would not permit him to do
so, fearing the injury was more serious than
her brother thought.
ton of the wound soon convinced him that
serious results might follow if the wound was
as deep as seemed probable considering the
length of the knife blade. AS the young man
showed no signs of improvement after several
days it was thought best to send him to
hospital in Baltimore, and this was finally
done. Our informant stated that the skull had
been fractured by the blade and that serious
results were apprehended.

led them to Mt. Royal Station. Baltimore, and

A Strange Thing for Pet.-Perhaps the
oldest thing ever heard of for a pet is big fat,
fuzzy catterpillar-the kind one sees meander.
ing aimlessly around in summer, apparently
coming from nowhere and bound for nowhere,
and yet q family in Towson has such pet,
and in the dead of winter, too. This strange
bird" has been making its appearance daily,
from no one knows where, and the coolest
days of the past winter did not check its mys-
terious movements. Different kinds Of food
have been offered to it, all of which it disdains.
but it comes from its hiding place daily and
moves around to get its airing. Here is an in
teresting case for the uaturalists.
"Ofacially" Spring is Here.-A dispatch
from Washington dated on Wednesday says
