ACCIDENT AND WONDERFUL ENDURANCE
The Grand Rapids Enquirer states that on We'd
nesday last Il serious accident occurred IN the
town of Paris about six miles from that city. A
young man, aged % years. son of Mr.. Nicholas
Carlton was chopping down a tree in company
with another young man. AS the tree was fall
ling it struck another tree land swerved from the
position in which it was expected to fall, striking
young Carlton, knocking him down. crushing his
rieht arm to jelly, AMI the butt of the tree foot
thick resting on his head forcing the latter into
the sgoupl The skull was somewhat fractured,
but strange to tell, the head was comparatively
uniniored. The young man with him chopped
of the log, and endeavored to roll it off Cartons
head, all the time snpposing the latter to be dead
but he could not move the log. and was forced to
90 a mile and half to obtain assistance. When
the log was rolled away it was ascertained that
Carlton was alive. He was accordingly convey
ed home. The following day his arm ampu
tated, and he is likely to recover.
