PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—JOHN ORCUTT met
with a serious and painful accident in HICK'S
factory yesterday. While engaged operating
a circular saw, his right arm was in some
mauner thrown in contact with the teeth and
the hand nearly severed. The small bone of
the fore-arm was cut [entirely off and the
large one injured. The wound was dressed
by Doctors PRATT and LADD, who expressed
the opinion that the use of the limb would
eventually be restored. But Mr. ORCUTT
will be laid up for a long time. He is one of
our most upright, respected citizens, and will
receive the hearty sympathy of all who know
him.

in harmony, their pure, elastic and golden
tones were a revelation of instrumental per
fection seldon heard except in the largest
cities.
At their Concert last evening, Mercur Hall

yeople being largely in attendance; and hun
dreds were compelled to stand throughout
the performance.
The quartette is made up of fresh and true
toned voices. The Orchestra produced pleas
ant, well balanced, harmonious ami very de
lightful accompaniments. The wit of the end
men was new, ingenious, and heartily receiv
ed. The clog and variety dancing WHS proba
bly the best ever seeii in this town and
brought down the house repeatedlv. The
character changes of Mr. STOWK were novel
and astonishing. In so long a programme
there was little to weary even the middle ag

lighted throughout.
Death of Mr. Carnochan.
MORTUUS EST.— Captain WARNER 11.
CARNOCHAN died at his residence on Chest
nut street at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
aged 41 years.
WARNER HAYDEN CARNOCHAN was the
oldest son of the late X. M. CARNOCHAN, and
was born in Troy this county Februray 1840.
He was educated in the public school and
academy of that village. While quite young
he learned carriage trimming, but having a
fondness for the legal profession, he early be
gan the study of the law, preparing himself
by attending a seminary at Andover, N. Y. —
During the years he was fitting himself
for his profession he taught several terms of
school, but on reaching the required age—2l
years, he was admitted to the bar, having
pursued his studies in the office Judge MER
CUR. Although never physically strong, and
with many others at first opposed to the war,
after Sumter was fired upon his patriotism
was aroused and he took an active interest in
the great struggle. He was elected and serv
ed as Lieutenant in a nine months reg
iment; he was afterwards employed as pay
master's clerk in Florida. In 1864, at the
second invasion of Pennsylvania, he raised a
company of "emergency men "anu proceed
ed to Ilarrisburg. All who were at the state
capitol on that occasion will recall the confu
sion and dissatisfaction which existed among
the large body of men assembled there, am
ounting almost to a revolt, over the proposi
tion to swear the men into the U. S. service
for an indefinite period. Capt. CARNOCHAN
saw that something must be done to stay the
tide or Camp Curt in would be deserted or be
come the scene of a disgraceful mob. Form
ing his company in line he told them that he
considered the situation a very grave one;
that he should tender his services, and con
cluded by requesting all who would join him
to take one step forward. The men stood by
him; others followed their example and or
der was soon restored. In the s priug of 1865
he was appointed by Secretary STANTON, a
quarter-master, hut the war closed before he
reported for duty.
After the war he resumed his legal practice
at Troy and soon became prominent in his
profession. In 1868 he was elected District
Attorney, and discharged the duties with
marked ability. Six years ago he removed to
this place and entered into partnership with
VV. T. DAVIES. HIS career as a lawyer has
been a remarkably brilliant one, notwith
standing he was compelled to battle against
that most insidious and deceptive disease,
consumption, inherited from his parents. He
was looked up to as a model practitioner, a
thoroughly honest and conscientious man.
His final sickness confiued him to his bed
for six months, but he bore the confinement
uncomplainingly and when the final summons
came quietly passed away
•'Like one who wraps the drapery of his coueh
about him
And lies down to pleasant dreams."
Mr. CARNOCHAN was married in 1860 to
Miss SOPHIA PARSONS, who with four chil
dren mourns the great loss. They have the
sympathy of the entire community. The
death of one of so much ability and "promise
will be esteemed a public calamity by thepeo
of this county.
Funeral services will be observed at the
house to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. Af
terwards the remains will be taken to Troy
for burial.
