in the lall, 1^ fell upon the leg of rider,
Jimmy Emmerson. For a while it was
thought that lie was not hurt, but after

considerably bruised. He came home on

and Jimmy will be all right in a few days.
Jimmy is a splendid rider, and has many

Wm. House, the veteran hunter, who is
well known in this part of the Territory,
met with a bad accident a few days ago.
He was riding a horse aud leading a mule,
when the mule became frightened at some
thing and jumped back. The rope caught
Mr. House's finger and pulled it oft* below
the first joint, which compelled the ampu
tation at the second joint, which ojicraiion
was performed bv Dr. Slieflert.

The Brain. —One of the most incon
ceivable things in the nature of the
brain is that, although the organ of
sensation, it should itself be insensible.
To cut the brain gives no pain, yet in
the brain resides the power of feeling
pain iu any part of the body. If the
nerve which leads to it from the in
jured part be divided, we become in
stantly unconscious of suffering. It
is only by communication with the
brain that any kind of sensation is
produced; yet the organ itself is in
sensible. But there is a circumstance
more wonderful still.. A certain por
tion of the brain itself may be removed
without destroying life. The animal
lives and performs all those functions
which arc necessary to simple vitality,
but itia-no longer a mind. It cannot
think or feel. It requires that the
food should be pttBhcd into its stomach;
in its palmiest days, and the rich ledge
is probably a continuation of the same:
streak from which the main source*
of the wealth of that mine originated.
The force at the Belle Peck will» soon
be largely increaced, and more extent
ded facilities employed to work up the
rich rock now existing there in abund~
ance.
Running A Newspaper. —By some
unaccountable misapprehension of
facts, says the Memphis Avalanche,
there is a large class of people in the
world who think, that it costs little or
nothing to run a newspaper; and if
they buy a copy from the newsboy,,
when too far from the office to come
and beg one, they are regular patrons
and entitled to unlimited favors. Men
call every day at newspaper offices to
get a copy of the paper for nothing,
who would never dream of begging a.
pocket handkerchief from a dry-goods
store, or a piece of candy from a con
fectioner, even on the plea of old ac
quaintance, having bought something
once before. One paper is not much,
but a Hundred a day amounts to some
thing in the course of time. But this
is a small drain compaircd with the
free advertising a newspaper is ex
pected to do. Some men who have
paid two dollars at an early period of
life for advertisement worth four or
five dollars, appear to think they are
stock holders in the establishment for
eternity. They demand the publica
tion of all marriage and funeral no
tices, obituaries, and family episodes,
for the next forty years, gratis. Speak
of pay and they grow indignant.
'•Don't l patronize your paper?'' "Yes,
but you receive the worth of your mo
ney for what yon pay." "But," says
the patron, "it will not cost you any
thing to put this in," which is just as
ridiculous as to ask a man to grind

A Modern Sampson. —Thomao, or'
Torn Gardner, as he was familliafy
called, was born on the river St. John,
one mile above the mouth of the'Mact
aquack stream, in the year* lt98.
Viewed casually, Gardher gave*no ev
idence of unusual power,, but- when*
stripped his muscular* development
was tremendous, and it is affirmed»
that insted of the ordinary* ribs he pos
sessed a solid bony wall on either side,
and that there was no separation what- -
ever. He stood five feet ten and a
half inches, erect and full chested, and
never exceeded 190 poundnTm weight.
The late Charles Long' informed us
that at one time he saw Gardner lift
from a towboat a puncheon of corn,,
containing at least twelve bushels,,
and, swinging around, deposit it on -
the sand. In so doing he tore the sole
off his boot. On another occasion a
number of men were trying to lift a
stick of timber. In all the crowd only
one man could raise it about two
inches from the skids. Gardner told*
four men to sit upon it, and then-lifted
it so high that the men jumped off to •
save themselves from the fall.- Mr.
McKeen has frequently known Him in
lifting to break boom poles six inches ;
thick. He has known him also with >
one hand to lift, by the rungT)f a chair,
tlie chair itself and a man weighing
nearly 200 weight. Once in attempt
ing to lift a very heavy* man he*
wrenched the rung entirely from the *
chair.
Gardner at one time was possessed
of a balky horse with which he exer
cised great patience; but when pa
tience ceased to be a virtue he would
fell him to the ground with his clench-
ed fist, striking him behind- the ear.
It is related of Gardner's sister that
on one occasion a famous wrestler*
traveled alkthc way from Miramichi
to Tom's home in order to "try a fall
with him." Tom was absent, but the
sister looking contemptuously upon
the intruder, declared she oould throw
him herself, and, suiting the action to *
the word, in a fair trial threw him»
fairly three times in succession. The
stranger's experience with the sister*
was sufficient; ho never sought a-fu
ture interview with tlie brother. .
The greatest feat which* Gardner
was ever known to perform was on
one of the wharves in St. John; Mr.
McKofin saw him lift and carry an an
chor weighing 1,200 ponnds ? numbers'*
of other witnesses standing by; some *
of whom are yet alive, frequently
he 1ms seen him carrying a* barrel of
pork under eaeh arm, and once »he saw
him shoulder a barrel of pork- while
Standing in an ordinary bramfy box..
When about 40 years of age Gardner*
removed to the United States,, and *
never returned to his native province.
It is commonly reported and be
lieved that he met with a sad 1 advent
ure on board a Mississippi steamer. -
A heavy bell was on board as a por
tion of the freight, and the captain,,
a great, powerful fellow, was concern
ed as to how he should remove it from»
its place in order- to make more room ;
on deck. While captain aud passen-*
gers were at dinner, Tom; in« presence '
of the crew, to their utter amusement,
lifted the bell and carriedMrto the op
posite side of the boat... When the*
captain returned ho asked* how that •
had been accomplished, and when
Gardner laughingly remarked that he *
carried.it there, the former gave him*
the lie, and as one word brought on 1
another,'.be presently strode * Tom in *
thç face. This was too much, and for *
the'first time inliis* Mb'the strong:
man gave blow; for'btow<; but on# buf
fet-was sufficient* The captain ûeveir
spoke again/ killed dead ön tlie instant. -
Tom made his escape, went Wcét andt
has never been hoard of since.— Neuf
