SINGULAR AND TrRRiBLE ACCIDENT

SINGULAR AND TERRiBLE ACCIDENT
We learnfrom the Reading (Pa.) adler,
the particulars Of an extraordinary ac-
cident which occurred on Saturday,
the 2lst uit, in Bern township, Berks
Co. Mr.. Elisha Davis, large man,
weighing about 200 pounds, and 60
years OF age, was engaged in making
small hay-stack, and before he quite
finished, cast over the side ptch-iork,
with handle OF the ordinary length,
which stood upright against the stack.
After completing hls work, he descend
ed from the stack himself and unfortu-
nately aligh,ed at the very plate where
the fork was standing, the handle Of
which pierced his body between the
legs, and renet' ated into the stomach
about IL inches, until ii reached the breds
bone There was no one present at the
time but small boy, who endeavored
to draw the handle out OF the wound
with one hand, but not succeeding, he
afterwards took hold with both hands,
and by exerting himself to the utmost
of his strength, pulled it out. The
wounded man, in excrutiating pain,
walked some distance towards his dwell
ling alone, when a neighbor approached
and assisted him home. The handle Of
the fork was about |, inches thick, and
sawed off blunt at the end which pierre
ed him. DR.. Spatz was called in to at
tend him, and what is almost incredible
to relate, he has SO far improved as to
be considered out OF danger.
