SAD ACCIDENT. -An accident of a very serious character, 'happened in this neighborhood last Friday morning, by which one of our most promising young men, Thomas Johns, lost his left arm; and almost miraculously es- caped being mangled to death. One of our oldest and most respected citizens Mr. Richard Johns, and his sons, own a horse -power threshing machine, with which they have been accustomed to do their own threshing, and occasionally accommodating a neighbor, when asked to do so. While engaged in threshing for Mr. C. Coates, the youngest son. 'was attempting to oil a part of the cylinder machinery, and its doing so the wrist band of his sleeve was caught between the cylinder pinion and one of the drive wheels of the gearing, drag- ging the wrist through between them, crushing it almost, to atoms, but leaving the hand perfectly scatheless. In the meantime the elbow was drawn between the bovsl wheels of the gearing, and the whole arm up to within two inches. of the shoulder was in a moment a crushed and shapeless, mac of bone, flesh and clotted blood, mingled with shreds of minced clothing. The ma- chine, being at the usual speed that 12 horses keep it, the shock was so great and so sudden that it slivered in pieces four 6x3 inch hard maple braces which held the horse , power an its place, and their strong metal sockets were com- pletely destroyed As soon as the rest of the workmen realized what had hap- pened desperate attempts were made to rescue hini from the now motionless wheels in which he was jammed and held as in a vice ; but it was found, on account of the position in which the helpless victim was lying, having his breast fairly on the top of the gearing, thac it was useless to try to break the machinery for fear of causing more in- jury to him. The gearing had to be taken apart iooe by'piece, and bolt after bolt had tobom t in Cie removed, 1 being g. nearly half -an -hour before the poor fel• low was liberated, 'Yet during all that time so heroically did he bear up that not a ery of pain escaped his lips, but on the contrary he encouraged those around !situ who wore working with t might and main, to none afraid, and that he was all right, and even assisted theist with his tight hand in removing some of the nuts and bolts that fastened his prison bars, The spin was soon am- putated and the patient is doing as well as can be expeoted. The injured and the entire fatally have the sympathy of the coinmuniby.
