Yeoman were placing some boards on the carrier to be edged and Mr. Baker waß standing near the revolving saw with his baok toward it. In some way as they were in the act of lifting a board he lost his balance and went backward into the Baw, but the.fact that he had hold of the board probably saved his life, as with it he was able to pull himself upright. His trousers were badly torn and a serious and ugly .wound indicted upon his thigh. He will probably be confined for sev■eral days.—Mt. Ayr Pilot. . Chlldran Ory FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Greenberry Lowe, surveyor of Newton county, has tendered his resignation and there is said to be no available man in that county to take up the Job.
