Mr.. Arner desires further to state, al
though it has no connection whatever
with the case, that when he met with the
deplorable accident which caused him
great distress and suffering, and finally
the loss of his leg, Feb. 8, 1881, he was
not in the employ of Mr.. Collins, but was
living on his farm on Whig Hill, and
late Wm, Tobey, jobber for the firm of
Wheeler e. Dusenbury. Some time after
his recovery Mr.. Arner was appointed
postmaster og Tionesta and moved mis-
family to this place, retaining the Office
for five years. After his retirement he
was elected prothonotary of the county,
which Office he held for three successive
terms. At the expiration of his last term
he established real estate and insurance
office, in which business he has been sue
cessful. In all these years Mr.. Arner
has "padd led his own canoe" very sue
cessfully, and although handicapped by
the loss of his leg, he has, by close atten-
ton to business and careful management,
been able to live comfortably and keep
the wolf IRON the door quite handily.
As to the settlement of his affairs with
the Collins estate he anticipates NO
trouble. His reason for not filing the
agreement earlier was on account of the
request of Mr.. Collins that it be with held
from the records until after his death,
for reasons best known to himself
