STRANGE ACCIDENT.-011 Friday last, a woman
named Murray, and her two daughters, were going into a
wheat field near Ely, to glean, when the girl quarrelling
about same apples, and loitering behind, the mother turned
round and playfully struck one of them on the back with
her bag, which. contained her knife for cutting off the ears,
and the instrument entered the back of the young
woman. It was feared the strings (?) of the heart
were cut, and her life was despaired of, but we hoar
there is a likelihood of her ultimate recovery. It was
truly pitiable to see the distress of the poor woman, who
declared that if her child died she would not survive her,
