A LAD PASSING THROUGH THE SPouT or A Wa.
TER WHEEL.-A correspondent of the Watertown
(N; ~ Retormer The following is a correct
statement OF an occurrence that took place in our
village on the 2Sth ult:
Two lads were at play on the bulkbaad of I
| hdtteson 20. s cabinet shop, when one of them a
son of George A. Sheldon, accidentally fell in. The
wneel carrying the planning machine was running at
Iuh speed, and the boy was immediately carried
from the bulkhead into the spout and through
the spout into the wheel The spout is sixteen feet
long; two feet wide at the upper end and twenty
Two 1eet seven inches at the place of discharge into
the water wheel. The wheel is centre discharge
and Is six feet in diameter and performs about sew
enty or eighty revolutions per minute
AT the moment the lad fell in, his little comrade
ran INTO the shop and gave the alarm. The water
was Immediately shut off and search commenced
and in moment, a cry was heard down in the wa
ter wheel: Mr.. MattesOn fastened below to the
wheel and there discovered the little sufferer with
his feet through the discharging hole at the bottom
| OF the wheel, between two buckets, close to the
shaft, crying to be rescued from his perous situa
tion; Mr.. Matteson exclaimed, "Dont cry, Lynn,
l will take care ofyou." The boy qGieted down
| and began to make for opening where the COW
ering to the wheel had been partially cut away last
! winter; he was soon reached and drawn from his
uncomfortable situation, and conveyed to his home
! DIR. Rice was at hand, and on careful examination
found no bones broken, but the flesh, from head to
foot severely bruised. The boy is now doing very
well, and will soon be at his sports again.
The Boston Transcript says :-''Mr. Albert Sum
! ner, OF Newport, X. l., his wife and child, some
| time since were shpwrecked and all undoubtedly
! pershed. BY the presumption of the law, the wife
and child died first, and the husband became enti-
tied to the property. Mrs. Sumner was a daughter
OF the late Walter Charming of this city, and en-
! Joyed the income of large estate. Under these
| circumstances more than $4,000 became legally
! vested in the late Mr.. Sumner and throug,. him
came to his mother and sister and his two brothers
-Charles sumner, our Senator, and George Sum
! ner, Esq. Theestate administered upon by Mr.
George Sumner, and, with the consent of all these
heirs, the whole of this property, which the deceas
ed had derived from his wife, has been surrendered
to her relations"
