With one of the horizontal iron shafts

,cnce of mind, she grasped the shaft with
ler hands, at the same time making a
violent effort to place her feet upon it, in

escape dislocation of the neck. She
ucceeded in clinging to the shaft during
wo or three revolutions, but its velocity

0 feet from it, leaving her entire scalp !,
rom the extremities Of the cyelids to the
iird vertebrD Of the neck, fast to the
hat and revolving with it. She arose
nme diately from the floor and proceed

ended, while the oversecr stopped the
heel. Drs. Miller and Philip were i'm
,cdiately called, the scalp was replac-
d upon the head and adjusted, and the
atient conveyed to her room. She is
pTcSeut a SOHuittoh1
nd her physicians state, that every
ymptom indicates a firm reunion Of the
arts, and speedy recovery Of health.
