dent occurred at the recently erected
saw mill or Samuel Frampton, on
what is known as tho Kearney farm,
near Strattonsvilie, in Cla.-ion town
ship on Wednesday forenoon of la.-t
week. The mill had been started up
for trial, when it was discovered that
the machinery was working hard,
and the sawyer, Mr. George B. Down
ing, stopped the saw for the purpose of
oi.iitgUie shafts connected with the
log carriage, and whiie Walter, his
son, was iu the act of oiling, he
thoughtlessly placed his hand to rest
on the cog-wheel. His father, think
ing everything ready started the
carriage forward, and the young man's
hand caught in the cogs, and his arm
was drawn into the wheel aud bis
band and aim crushed to the
elbow, leaviug the marks of the cogs
on the crushed mass. Dr. John

decided that amputation was necessary
and with the assistance of Dr. R. B.

V.'a.-hing'ou, August !l. s liooe
returns, more is learned hi detail of
I thu tiiiible anxiety of last Friday. Jt
I appears th.it the surgeons, alter tiie
I ul.'rming symptoms of the morning,
j decided that it was useless to longer
tciiitiuue the sttuggl.', and two of
their number were -elected to wait
upon Mrs. Garfield and to inform her
that medical science could do no mi-re,
unit that siie imji-t prepare for the
woivt. The interview liicli occui reii
between these surgeous and Mrs. Gar
lie! I w jll, if n-iiorts are true, be re
garded as one of the most dr.iui.itie in
eidenls in tliis extraordinary case.
Captain Henry Marshal of this district
a friend of the president nnd his fam
ily, says that M rs Gartield beard the
news with great composure, and that,
smothering her emotion, she arose
and said : ''Gentlemen, you shall not
give him up. He o; not going to the;
he i -going to live. I feel, I know it.
Go baei; to your post, every one of you,
and leave it not until every remedy is
exhausted; until deaih itself has i-et
his seal upon him, for I will not be
lieve that he is dying, tin linek and
do what jou can; you cannot do more,
bur don't give up. I am his wife, and
I say that we will not give up un
til the end ilsell is upon us." Mrs. Gar
tield has never surrendered more than
a moment or two at a lime to her grief,
and then she has retired to her room,
alter a brief absence lias returned to
her post of duty at the president's
bedside. Mrs. IMmhi says that the
president is doing splendidly. He is
taking his nourishment und she is ex
tremely hopeful. Dr. Boynton, too,
is more hopeful tliis morning, and
says lie thinks lie notices an improved
condition in the blood. There are
also microscopic indications that the
food is assiiuiluling properly. 'J lie
president cuii open his mouth easily
and lie tastes his food.
Thk recent death of Mrs. Millard
Fillmore recalls a singular incident
couueeted with her two husbands. In
1M7, whiie she was the wife of Hon.
EzeUkl Mcintosh of Alhany, Mr. Fiil
niore was candidate for tho iiosition ol
State Comptroller of New Ynr't.
Some persons who desired to oefeat
his election raised about, ii l,s)U for
the purpose and placed it in the hands
of Mr Mcintosh, instructing him to
place it hi bank in lmown name and
not to make the matter public He
did as desired, hut before the fund
could be drawn out to uso for election
purposes the treasurer fell Biek ami
died. Mr. Fillmoru was elected Comp
troller, mi l many years afterwards
married Mrs. Mcintosh, and received .
as part of her dowry, the money Uiat
bad been raised to defeat hU election
Tlie ex-President used to enjoy telling
the story, aud often remarked that the
"money wasplueed where it would
do tho most good" to him.

to incarcerate him in the "big stone
jail," on Tuesday, ho took advantage
of the cilice

at the Mineral Spring, between Wood
land and Barrett station, while the
train was in rapid motion. He landed
in a ditch on his head and shoulders
and was badiy stunned, but man
aged to get into the laurel and under
brush before die train could be stopped,
which was done by the ofiioer pulling
the bell rope. Smith was pursued,
but to no avail, ns ho could not be
found. Telegrams were immediately
sent all along the line, with a full des
ciiptiou of the .nan, und it is hoped
that he will soon again be iu the
