IlEniSBEROER The Book of Worship. A Remarkable Caee- Proaabla Fatal Conseqaeneee from Sticking; a Splinter la She Thomk. About three weeks ago a colored man by the name of George McFarland, residing on the corner of Seventh and Bladen streets, accidentally stuck a small lightwood splint er in the ball of his thumb. ( Upon with drawing the splinter blood commenced flowing very freely and continued to do so for about a week before he came to the de termination to call in a physician. On the seventh day after the accident a doctor was summoned, who came and for four days used every effort to staunch the flow of blood, but without avail. At the expiration of that time another doctor was called in a physician of large experience and the two, after consultation, proceeded to make arrangements to perform an operation on the unfortunate man, whose life-blood was fast ebbing out. They first split open his thumb, but it was inflamed and swollen so badly that they could not get to the artery. They next proceeded to make an opening in each side ; of the wrist, the arteries in which were . taken up and securely fastened. Previous to do ing this, however, an "effort waa made to stop the flow of blood by tightly cording his thumb above the wound, but when this was done the veins and arteries in his hand commenced swelling to such an extent from the accumulation of blood that it was found necessary to remove the cord. After the arteries in the wrist were tied up, the flow of blood from the thumb was checked, but inflammation immediately set in and the whole arm became inflamed to the shoulder, which was soon followed by the flesh rot ting and dropping off the arm below the elbow, the leaders in which are laid bare, presenting a terrible spectacle to the eye. In the meantime the unfortunate man is suffering intensely, and as amputation in the present condition of the arm is impossi ble it is the opinion of his physicians that his recovery is doubtful. " It ii a remark able case, and, In connection with.it, we are informed that McFarland came near bleeding to death when a youth from a flea bite, which he scratched rather vigorously. A. brother of McFarland bled to death about twelve years ago. - ' ; ' : : At last accounts McFarland was resting a little easier than he has for some time Past . .. Attempted Bobbery. On Sunday niehU as the omnibus of the Purcell House was taking passengers and freight to the Union depot to meet the 10:40 train for the North, some sly rogue suc ceeded in cutting one of- the trunks loose from the rear and carryinz it off. The om nibus was not far from the depot at .the ume ana on Us arrival and the discovery wai mo trunk was missing Col. Davis "tarted immediately to hunt It up. Fortu nately he and his aids had nnt fertn look before the trunk was found lying against the ue oi a tence Inside the depot enclosure, the thieves not havin? had time . it before the party in search had arrived in the vicinity. After the occurrence it was recollected that a white man had been en quiring of tome of the attaches of the hotel ben the bareaee would be sent to the de- Pot, but as he was a stranger there is no prooaomty that he wil Identified.

TEBBIBLB ACCIDBNT. . A Colored Klan lZnn Orer by a Train Ills Leg Craataed to a JTelly. , A colored man by the name of Ellas Qra ham, bailing from Mars Bluff, Marion coun ty, South Carolina, met with a frightful ac cident about 3 o'clock on Sunday morning. He and to other colored 'men were on their way to the Union Depot to catch the Southern train. They had been drinking heavily at a bar room in the vicinity of the Weldon Depot, Graham having indulged to a greater extent than his companions. They had gone to the old depot and were walking along the track, when, as they reached the vicinity of -the water tank at the intersec tion of Front street with the railroad track Graham became' overpowered by the effect of his numerous potations and fell down. His companions, instead of assisting him to the depot or to a place of safety, hurried on and- left him to his fate. That morn ing, after daylight, he was discovered by - the aide of the track .with - his left leg horribly , mangled ; and crushed to a jelly from the knee downward and the other badly bruised and gashed. ;,The au thorities were notified and he was taken to the City Hospital, where-, during the day, it was found . necessary to amputate the wounded limb above the knee, the opera tion being performed by Dr. Winanta, the physician in charge, assisted by Dr. A. E. Wright. The accident was no doubt caused by the Northern train . on its way from "Union Depot to the old shed. Graham says he re members nothing, that occurred from the time he fell on the : track until he found himself at the Hospital Sunday morning. He' is said to be about 25 years of age. A Swlndl.r In Scare la of a Summer Outfit IlowIIe Didn't Gee It. A colored individual called at the store of Mr. Wm. Goodman, on 'Market- Btreet; yesterday, and purchased a shirt and pair of, pants, and when they. were '"done up he requested .Mr. G. to lay them aside for a few minutes, stating that Mr. George Myers owed him a sdm of money,- and he would either get that or an order from Mr. M. for the goods. He departed and soon returned with the following order: WnjtrKGTO, N, C, April 22, 1873. Mr. Goodman will let the Boy have Shirt and Pants, But Dont Let him have eny thing els and i will Pay for them at the end of the Month. ' v . ' . ; , respectfully yours, . Geobgk Mtebs. . Send in the at end of the Month..' It will hardly be surprising to our city readers that Mr. Goodman should have en tertained a little doubt as to the authentici ty or perfect correctness of the above docu ment. He certainly did have a faint sus picion of something wrong and in pursu ance of the dictates of this suspicion, the strength of which must have been observa ble on his countenance, he took a step or two in the direction of the darkey, when he "broke ranks" and incontinently fled, leaving the goods and order in the hands of the merchant.' An Exploration and a DleeoTery. Back of the Lattimer place on Wright' ville Sound, not far from the liltle. church located in that vicinity, is a spot of ground which is so studded with trees and under growth, interwoven with vines, &c, that it is almost as impenetrable as the strongest fortress, and the soil of which has perhaps not been trod by the feet of human in a great many years. A gentleman'of this city, .who is of aa enquiring mind and loves to explore hidden recesses where others have not had, the patience , and energy to venture, forced himself into the midst of this labyrinth a day or two since, and his curiosity was rewarded by the discovery of a grave, with this inscription on the head board: "Known Ojily in Eternity." -On the foot-board 'was the inscription, kJ. J. H., 1833." : Both, these inscriptions were perfectly legible, being protected from the weather in a great measure by the densi ty of the surrounding foliage. Now, here is another, question for the antiquarians: Who was "J.-J. tL?t - Flreo In tno "Woods. - We learn that the fire which have been raging in the woods below this city for sev eral days past have resulted in considerable damage. It communicated' Sunday with the fence of Mr. -W Porter, about three miles from the city, but by v prompt meas ures the flames were arrested with the loss of about . fifty panels. - Mr. Charles Bonum's fence was consumed, CoL. Hed rick lost about 4,500 rails, and Capt C. C. Morse and others suffered in like manner. In fact, we learn that the flames swept pretty much everything in .their course from Greenville Sound to the very outskirts of the city, threatening the row of buildings belonging to Messrs. Northrop & Cumming, in the extreme Southeastern section. Corner-stone. The corner-stone of the new building be ing erected for the Bank of New Hanover was laid yesterday, Therow u e no cere monies connected with the matter. Copies of the three daily papers of the city, a hum ber, of business cards of merchants, the charter and by-laws and card of the Bank, specimens of U. S. currency, Confederate money, &c.t were placed in the box which waa deposited in the corner-stone. , The Alarm Delle. v Those to whom the duty of ringing the alarm bells is entrusted should inform them selves where the fire is before they alarm the city. It is a serious annoyance to have the fire department running out as far as Seventh and Castle streets to find that the fire they are in search of is in the woods. There should be more' system about the matter of ringing the alarm belli. .7 to' H A W Local Dote. r- y ,' Boney bridge has been repaired,. v Prof Cromwell arriyed last night . -r Big crowd in the vicinity of the Court House, yesterday,,?
