Arrested for Passing Counterfeit Money
Two young men named John aud Da
vid Elect, cousins, from Monroe county
we're arrested in this village on Monday
evening for passing counterfeit bills on
the Westfeld Bauk, Massschusetts.---
John, apparently the most "unsophistica.
ted' of the two, claims to have been made
the tool of the other, and during the even.
ing, g,(Wbile David was enjoying "master-
ly inactivity" in some bar-room, in sew
eral excursions around town, buying lag
er, peanuts, &C.. 10 very small quantities
succeeded in passing of s55 of these bills
and receiving good money in exchange,
which was passed over to David. When
arrested, $50 counterfeit money was found
on the person of John and SIS good mo.
ney on David, s26 of which latter amount
was identified as money given to John in
exchange for counterfeit. They were ta.
ken before Esquire Derby, and failing to
procure bail were sent to the Wilkcsbar-
re lock-up.-Scranton Rep. Dec. 2.

A Man Lives Half a Day with the Top
of his Head Cut Off,

An accident occurred in pottery il
the lower end of Fort street, in tho out
skirts of the city some days since result
ing in the death Of an employee of the es'
tablishment, which furnishes most sin
gular instance of the tenacity with whict
life clings at times to the human frame
The man, whose name we have been un.
able to ascertain, was engaged in the room
where the machinery employed in cutting
and pulverizing the clay is situated. This
machine is a large wheel. with heavy
knives or cutters placed at equal distance
on its circum ference. Some disarrange.
mcnt of the wheel attracted the attention
of the unfortunate man, who attempted
to reach into the wheel and adjust it while
it was still revolving. In this, however,
he miscalcuated the speed at which the
m machinery was running, and, before be
could withdraw himself from under the
knife, it struck him on the back of the
head, low down in the neck. completely
severing the upper and back portion OF
the skull, on line close to the top of the
ears. and cutting through and removing
a considerable portion of the brain. The
most singular circumstance was that the
man, in this horribly wounded condition,
walked into an adjoining apartment where
other workmen we're, and afterward walk
ed to carriage, in which he rode to his
homo, surviving the accident nearly half
n day. We douht If another case of snch
extreme tenacity of life can be found in
the records of accidents, but the actual
occurrence Of the above circumstance is
vouched for by competent authorities. and
is beyond doubt Detroit Free Press,
Nov. %.
