 SiDgulHr Accidens.-On Friday the goth l inst. as Miss Van Buren, young lady of the 1 Valatie, was dressing her hair in the factory l of Mr. Baldwin, she accidentally brought tt l in contact with one of the horizontal iron
 shafts which made 5S revelations the minute. The shaft is square, two and n half inches in 1 diameter, and is placed about IF inches from ] the upper floor. The young lady was stand iDg nearly under it, facing from ii. and in ias. sing back hes hair, V hich she had been comb ing over her faces probably without reAecting that the shaft above her was in motion, if caught fast. and she found herself drawn up
 towards it with the velocity of lightning.- With an extraordinary presence of mind. she grasped the shaft with her haods, at the same time making yioient effort to place her feet
 upon it. in order that by revolving withit she
 might escape siislocation of the neck. She
 snccceded in clinging io the shaft during two
 or revolutions. hut its yelocity was such as at length ta break her hold, and she was pro- jected distance of eight or ten feet from ii,
 leaving her entire scalp from the extremiiies
 of lhe eye lids to the third vertehrH of the
 neck, fast to the shaft and revolving with it. 1 She arose immediately from the floor and proceeded to stop 1ne of the looms which
 she tended while the oyerseer stopped the
 wheel.
 Drs. Miller and Philip were immediately
 called, and with the assistance of such as had
 not fled or tainted from fright. the scalp was
 replaced upon the head and adjusted. and iile
 patient conveyed tO her room. The scene was truly frighiful. The whole head, tenn pie and forehead were peeled t0 the bone,
 the blood streaming from the small veins and
 arteries oyer her shoulders. and to those who
 had seen the p.ofusion of beautiful locks that
 formerly adorned her head. the Grsa appear anee impressed the idea of headless trunk. 1 Her presence of mind seemed at nO time to
 have forsaken her. She was sitting iD chair
 when her physicians arrived. and observed that the hack ef her head was severely bruis-
 ed. the only injury which she wss tlssn. or is
 even nnw, conscious ofhavipg received. She
 is at present in c0rnfOrtabie condition. and her physicians state. that evesy symptom in. | dicaies a lIrm re-union Of the paris and a speedy recovery ofheaith.--Co Colna,bio Senfi Eiagnim.--Ia 1lr. Flni's lDdian Warsofi tie West.
