Mr. Samuel IdeGeoch was cutting. wood
in McCaa's bash, he met with a close
call. He uses, when at such work, a
double pitted axe, very sharp at one
edge andduller at the other for split-
ting. It appears he was using the
dull edge to cut a limb lying in a hol-
low. The timber being frozen that
day, the axe Herr up, striking him yen-
tically about the middle of the fore-
head with the sharp edge, cutting
flesh and bone to the brain, but fortun- •
ately no further. Being a healthy
man, the waited though being two or
three inches Ion , is healing nieely, and
he will soon beball right again. A
trifle deeper and the result would have
been more serious,
