JENNY LIND was married by the Protes-

JENNY LIND was married by the Protes-
tans Episcopal rite. She is thirty-ore
years old, and her husband twcnty-sour.
He is gentleman and man of genius
of Hebrew origin, VIC believe. We we'll
remember his performances on the piano
forte, too good for general appreciation,
and never deviating from the severity of
to draw out the public applaudits by tricks
Of clap-trap, which he had dexterity enough
to do if be had chosen. On these occasions
Jenny, who was not on the stage at the
moment, used often to stand forward in
her private bcx, and clap her hands vigor-
ously, in sight Of the audience, who BY no
means seemed to share her admiration for
the pianist However, she understood bis
merits great deal better than they did.

Distressing Accident.

\ singular and painful accident occurred
on Wednesday morning last, at Huiing
Mills, on Mosquito creek, about six miles
FROM this place, the particulars of which.
as near as we can CLEAN, are as follows ::
Two men were employed in the mill n
which the accident oc .urred 10 >uperintend
the saving daring the night; Mr.. JOHN
HENRY taking his turn at work, from l.
o'clock until daylight. Having been au..
kened 1T midnight, as usu.l, lie went uu-
derueath the mill for the purpose of at
ranging some Of the gearing preparatory To
pursuing his nights task, when, uufortu
naiely slipping, hiss Ii ght was dashed from
his hand, and in his cudcavours to grasp
Il: something to support himself aud pre-
vent fall, his fingers were caught in the
n.eshes of a cog wheel which was slowly
revolving above hm. The wheel gradn-
ally drew il. ;s arm-crush!ng his strong.
muscular hand like wafer, entirely sew
ering the bone above the wrist, and man
Cling HIM iu the most Horrible mauner-
until he was drawn Up so that he had
barrel ly foothold upon the points of his
toes. In this position, his own weight
and the entering wedge f rmed by his ann
stopped the revolution of the machinery.
! he poor fellow, who must have been
suffering the most exeruciating agony,
screamed franiically fr help, but the
noise Of the rushing water drowned his
voice, and his fellow laborer, who had ill.,
m-diately dropped asleep, in the mill,
above him, accustomed to noise and clat,er,
did not awaken nor hear him. There
was none other likely to hear him What
an awful position for 4 strong, athletic
m"n, full Of life aud vigor! He screamed
UNDECIDED, until is voice failed him.
For fee hours he remained in that position
his right arm wedged between the i'm.
pinging wheels, in y winter night, the
warm blood trickling over him from his
wounds. His wife awakening from =
trightfui dream, and seeing &c light in the
mill, surmlsed that something had hap
pened, ran frvn the house to the mill,
heard him moan and discovered him, and
arousing the neighbors, at five O'Clock.
after considerable difficulty he was released
from his frighiful captivity. His arm
was ampurned on "Wednesday by DR..
