setids the following: —
" Norton's Covk, Feb. ii, 1890.
•' I regret to inform you of a *nd accident
which liappcned to Absalom Howel, of Pound
Cove. On Monday the 3rd inst. while in the
of firing nt a bird, the gun bursting in the breach,
smashed his left hand almost to atoms. Yesterday I assisted Doctor Murray in amputating
his arm about three inches from the wrist joint.
On Friday last Capt. A. Kcan's house caught
on Arc. From the timo it took fire until dir-.-over-
ed, which was early ou Friday, must bave been
fully ten or twelve hours, but it was so confined
that it did not get to a flame until they had sufficient help to extinguish it, thereby preventing
•what otherwise would have been a serious misfortune. Doctor Murray's presence amongst
is bailed with joy. Already wc bave found his
services to be of great valnc. I believe him '
be a young man of great ability, who cannot fail
to be a credit to his profession. His presence is
a great boon to tbo community at large."
The Dr. Murray referred to is a nephew of
the Rev. Mr. Murray, of Halifax, editor of the
Presbyterian Witness. Capt. Kean, and Messrs.
Morison and Morine, were instrumental in getting Ihe doctor to go to Bonavista Bay to practice for a time at least. Ho is a graduate of
Edinburgh, bas bad some practice in England,
and is a thoroughly competent man—" a great
boon," as our correspondent says, to the deserving people of JBonavista Bay north.
