Blair's case is a pretty serious one. -When his elbow projected through the spokes of that wheel and brought up against the fixed iron of the engine, tho blow was terrilic and he sustained a fracture both of the fore (lower) arm and also of the arm (upper). In thus breaking, the bones tearing through the flesh broke the smaller arteries which caused a distribution of the blood (effusion) through the muscular tissues.

Such fractures are always most serious. Besides, the head wounds showed that he received a terrible blow. At 1 apex (top) of the skull, the bone was denuded Of the periostiutn, leaving the skull bare.

The work of that body hitherto has fallen upon a very few gentlemen, to whom ill should feel grateful. But it is not right that they should be expected to discharge all the work of a public tho public good. There is inspiration in numbers.

If there were a big crowd at every meeting, it would tend to give new life to these gentlemen who have had the whole burden to bear and would provide them with half an hundred helperp.

Mr Bennett, chairman of the committee on speaker has juat received a telegram to that effect. Mr, Fuller is a man possessed of rare gifts of speaking, and be will give our people an address well worthy their attention. There are few men, in this State who excel him in oratory. The committee is to be congratulated upon their good fortune In securing so able a speaker. Mr.

Fuller is boyish in appearance; at a little distance would pass for twenty; but he is double that age, and is wise enough for a man of sixty.
