Andy McClure cut his foot seriously with an ax, last Saturday morning. An important artery was severed and so much blood was lost before the flow could be stopped that he became very weak, fainting at one time. The new wound is exactly where he received a wound from a rifle ball during the Civil war. Mr. McClure has surely moved into an unfortunate row, as this is the fourth serious accident that has happened, recently, in as many consecutive houses.
