ANOTIIIR SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A LADY FROM
MAcHINIRY.—The Yorkshire welds are again the scene of
a dreadful accident to a lady from machinery. This time
the accident is near Acklam, only a few miles from the
scene of the former one at Burythorps. As in the previous
awe, a thrashing machine was at work, and Mire Charlotte
Boultoo, the &Tighter of Mr. F. H. /34valton, of Acklam
Lodge, the occupier cf the farm, was standing near looking
at the {machine at work. It seems the wind carried her
dress too near the tumbling shaft, which drew bee in and
whirled her round end round repeatedly. Of COMM no
assistance could be given her until the machine was stopped,
when it was found that, in addition to other serious in-
juries, both the young lady's legs were broken. The case
is a most dreadful one. and results—es was the cue at
Burythorpe—from • neglect of covering the tumbling shaft,
• precaution very essential, but rarely observed. Mims
Bonitos is said to be in a very critical state.
A RAILWAY TRAIN DIBTAINED FOR A KIBIL
On Monday morning, as the train from Kidderminster
at the Mateo station, at 8.58, a lady rose in one
ost d
ferge earrisaes, as if desirous of getting out, but was
unable to do so. Some difficulty was experienced by the
officials in opening the door, and a delay of • minute or so
was occasioned. When, however, the door had been
opened, a young man, who had been all the while standing
on the platform as if desirous of taking the seat that the
lady seemed about to vacate, leaped into the compartment,
gave the lady a hearty kiss, and then returned to the
platform, whereupon the young lady resumed her seat,
evidently quite delighted with the success of the rose to
obtain this passing and affectionate salatation.—Bireling-
haw Post.
lircArriouit Una nF PARROORIC.—An inquest was
held • few days ago, at Staten, before B. L. Gross, Esq.,
coroner, on the body of • child two years old, named
Henry Southgate. It appeared that the child ought
cold during the proceeding week, and his mother gave him
a teaspoonful of paregoric in cold water. The child slept
for several hours after that, and was supposed to be
still asleep, when hie mother found he was dead. Mr.
Fleming, surgeon, said in his opinion death resulted from
inflammation of the longs, probably accelerated by the
use of the paregoric. A teaspoonful of paregoric would
be an exceetive dose for • odd two
as
old under any
circumstances, particularly in a case attended with in-
flammation of the lungs—four or five drops would be •
sufficient doss. The jury returned a verdict in accordance
with the evidence.— cry and Norwich Purr.
