Sensation Of being Crushed.-The follow ing from
the Baltimore American would make the foundation
for sketch almost quite equal to that published in
Blackwood ten years since, OF man who crowd
ed to death in iron apartment the sides of which
gradually shut upon him:
Mr. John Dougherty who was so dreadfully njur-
ed some time since, by being crushed between car
and the side wall of the ticket Office at the Railroad
Depot, has far recovered be enabled to leave
this city for his home at Lancaster, Pa. The case
of Mr.. ID. is a remarkable instance of escape from
the very jaws of death. His recoectons of the
sensations experienced during the account, is dis
tnct, and fearful indeed. His first expectation was
that the car would be stopped but it continued to
advance, and thus increased the pressure--those
parts of the body which were the most prominent
being the first 10 feel the effects of the crash In
a moment two, he felt his ribs giving way-and
this succeeded the terrible sensation connected
with the violent injection of the blood from the body
to the head, which felt TO him like flame passing
from the latter TO the former At this moment he
became senseless and the car Immediately there
after stopped and removed backward for his release
the body falling to the ground that OF dead
man. His return to termination he described as
though he was under the effect of an unpleasant
dream, from which he felt conscious he would be re-
eved when he awoke. To those who saw him after
the accident it appeared impossible that he could
survive--and yet, through a kind Providence, and
the skill and unwearied attention of Dr. Dunbar, his
principal physician he has been restored to life.
