PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
A veuy painful and distressing accident happened on Tuesday evening to the daughter of Constable Brentian, at Cambridge. It seems that the little girl, who is about ten years of age, was playing with her eldest brother, who was using an uxe at the time, and, unhappily, when ha was making a blow at a piece of firewood the axe glanced olf and fctruek the girl on the ankle joint, nearly severing her foot from the limb. Dr. Cnshney is attending the sufferer, but has but faint hopes of saving her foot, as the cut goes right through the joint. Great sympathy is felt for Mr and Mrs Brennan, one of whose younger children is only just recovering from injuries inflicted by a game c >ck about a fortnight since.
