Painful Accident
On Saturday last Harmon Sam

On Saturday last Harmon Sam
Piles, a prominent young farmer OF
the Strait Creek community, met
with a distressing and painful &C.
cident while helping to operate
wood saw at his brothers home.
His tight hand, in some manner,
came in contact with the saw and
the two middle fingers were cut off
near the knuckle.
His physician was called and
rendered such surgical help as was
needed.
Mr.. Samples unlucky star seems
to be in the ascendency, this being
his second misfortune within few
months. He had but recently re-
covered from injuries received by
the falling of a scaffold while he
was a work on W. Fl. Wilson'S
house, mention of which was
made at the time.
