1t is with deep regret that we learn Of
the recent severe injury of Mr.. David w.
Nickels at East Milinocket, where he has
been engaged for a year in sinking artesian
wells for that town. In some unaccount-
able way his right hand was caught in the
coggs of his machine, crushing it SO terribly
that the amputation of three fngers-all
but the little One-was necessary. His
wife Immediately joined him on being mott
fed of the accident. He is as comfortable
as can be expected and bearing his suffering
with characteristic fOrtitude and patience.
All friends in Stockton extend sympathy to
him in this dreadful misfortune.
