Addrew, Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham ton, N Y. m:.. glenx's arm crushed. Mr. Thomas Glenn, locomotive engineer on tha Southern Railway, met with a very serious andpaiufal accident at tbe freight depot on Tuesday night about half-past nine o'clock. Mr ii nu was the engineer on a * u and train, which was at tbe tiu u standing on the main line. An her freight train wa3 at the same time at the depot bound for the North. It appears th*t Mr. Glenn's train was to leave after the other pulled out. He came out o;' his eugine, and lay down between the main line and the western side-track, possibly seeking a cool plu'ce, and had his arm rebting on the rail of the side track. On thi3 - n ? side-trace were some cars. air. uibuu thoaeht the northbound freight was not on i he side-track and was washing for it to pall out or leave, but it backed on the side-track and before he could get out of danger, the wheel of a car mentioned as standing on the side track ran over ins ngai arm, crushing the bones between the -hand and tibow. Dr. Hanahan, the local railroad snrgeon, was summoned and dressed the wound. Mr. Gienn display ed remarkable nerre and fortitude. Although his arm was fearfully crushed and the pain excruciating, he talked to those around him calmly directing ihem what to do. He stated what he 'wanted taken out of bis pockets, makiug special mention of a train order. He was taken to Columbia, at his own request, on the sou'hbonud passenge train the same nigjt. Jti* feared that his arm will have to be amputated. Mr. Glenn is a son of the late "'Mr. Hargrove Glenn, of this county, and i6 a yonug man of high character and integrity. He is popular with his fellow employees, and has the full cocfidcnce of the railroad officials. Mr. Glenn has a wife and one cnua, ana the b.eaking of the news to his wile seemed to distress him nnie tban anything else. ?Tbe physician in attendance upon Engineer Glenn, who had his arm badly mashed by the train here on Tuesday uight, thinks that he will be able to save (he arm, and that amputation will not be necessary as was at fir?t feared. However, even shonld the arm be saved, Mr. Glenn will not be able to resume his duties for several months. The encouraging report from the iojared man is most gladly received by his friends, as the loss ot his right arm would ha7e been a terrible affliction.

The first planting of cotton is , looking fine and if seasons suit it will i nake a tolerably- fair yield. But a ; number of cur farmers were compelled ] o plant over on account if irregular ; ;tand<? of the first planting. In euch jieea it was very backward acout ,'oming up, as tbe groutd wcs too dry :o eaable the seed to epront. Some .arms that were planted in cotton, fvhere a stand was uot obtained, will 32 planted iu con:.

It is not very eucouraging to a plough-boy?and most of our boys, I am proud to say, are plough-boys?to work all day "beneath the hot summer Krm" ami tro home at night to "turnip sprouts and bread," not knowing what be will rcceive in tha fall when tbe harvest U over. It is too often the case that after expenses are paid the bard-workingploogh-boy receives bnt a smail sum for his year's work; iu fact, be is considered a lucky boy, and most certainly he is a saving boy, if he comes out at the end of the year witb a few dollars ahead. In view of this grim, stern fac>, many of our honest farmer boys are enticed with a longing desire to leave the dear old home of youthful years aud go into tbe wide, wide wcrld to seek a better living.
