His own son, Quincy Adams Pettingill, was in his fourteenth year and upon him devolved the outdoor education of his young cousin. In this pleasant task he was aided by his sister Sophie who was a year younger than the newcomer. There was a scene of wild excitement when young Quincy paid his first visit to the old Pettingill place where his mother was born.
He was taken home, but when the doctor was called he advised his immediate removal to the Isaac Pettingill Free Hospital for he was afraid an amputation would be necessary. Unfortunately, his fears proved to be true, and Hiram's right leg was amputated just below the knee. "That Hiram's an unlucky cuss," said Mr. Strout to his hearers one evening at the grocery.

The French style consists of making just as many paragraphs as possible. Thus one may fill up a column in a very short time. I am paid by the column, and the quicker I can fill up a column but this is a matter to which we will not refer. We will let this matter pass. Reuben Pettingill was extremely industrious. He worked hard all the year round on his father's little farm. Right he was!
"Dudley Venner," exclaimed a dozen people, in startled, but half-suppressed tones. "What can have brought Dudley out to-night?" said Jefferson Buck, a young fellow, who had been interrupted in one of the corner-duets which he was executing in concert with Miss Susy Pettingill.
