Sickness of Bro. Rogers.

The many friends of Bro. Sanford Rogers, who have heard of the accident that lately befell him, are doubtless anxious to learn as to his welfare. He was hurt on Tuesday, Dec. 12, by the upsetting of a wagon on the mountain-side, at the Rural Health Retreat, St. Helena, he being underneath the box, and dragged some six rods in that position. The following extract from a letter dated Dec. 29, from Dr. Chase, who is attending him, gives in few words the extent of his injuries, and his present condition:—
"His injuries were of a general character. Three bones of the right wrist, and the lower extremity of the ulna, were broken up, with severe fleshy lacerations. Several severe cuts and bruises on face and scalp—all healing. A great number of sprains, strains, and bruises on left arm, chest, abdomen, back, and both lower extremities; from these he is recovering. He sustained injuries within the cavities of the chest and abdomen, that are slowly disappearing. He is slowly, but I think surely, convalescing; is now able to sit up in bed, propped by pillows, long enough to eat his meals."
