call few days since, from Mr.. Lewis Brit
TIM brother Ct Mrs. s. p. Knight
of. this village, who sustained Sc
vefofall from a building in Buffalo, in De-
combet last, Of which wo took some notice
at the timc. We had no idea then it was
such remarkable instance rs it was Of es-
cape from death. Mr.. Brittin fell from
four story building, from an elevation of A
feet striking on the stone sidewalk. A fall
that distance ON such solid substance rs
stone, would naturally result in instant death
but IL did not in this case. lIo was, how
ever, placed in condition which apparent
ly could only result in death Both of his
legs and arms were broken bothof his ank-
les were sprained and two Of his toes were
dislocatod; bis under jaw was broken in
three places his upper jaw WAS separated
through the nose from tho upper part of
his face; all his teeth but two or three were
broken out, aud his jaws were so lnangled
that twenty-ono pieces Of bone were taken
from his face. In this mapgled condition
IT was supposed he could not live another
day. But notwithstanding he was so much
broken up he survived, and has so far re-
covered from his injuries as TO bo able to
make his friends n visit, and TO walk about
with the assistance Of cane. One Of the
extraordinary circumstances Of this case is,
that ho retained the full exercise Of his men
tai faculties amid the severe suffering from
such dreadful injuries, nor has he suffered
from any sickness during his long confne-
inent. Mr.. B. regards his recovery as an in
torposition of Divine Providence in his fa-
vor.-iSeneca Observer.
A SHOCKING DEATu.-We hsvo received
the particulars Of terrible accident, result
ing death, which occurred in the Township
Of Brantford, on Tuesday last. Mr.. Brady,
the proprietor Of the Ancaster Saw Mills,
while at work was caught in the breast by
acircular saw aud instantly cut through the
body. His liver was torn out and thrown
soinc twenty feet across tho mill. A most
extraordinary circumstance connected with
this frightful event is related by parties in
whose word We have implicit confidence,
and was witnessed by a large number Of the
unfortunate mans neighbors who were pres
ent at the time, and who have been in the
habit of congregaiipg in the mill to witness
the operations Of tho saw. After he had
been cut through the body he arose from
the floor on which he had fallen, and, lifting
aportion Of his intestines-=which, with 9TH
or parts Of his mangled body, lay scattered
around-walkcd forward with it several feet,
when he sat down and expired, without ut
tering a word from the moment he received
his fatal wounds. The scene presented to
abn of tha = .oiI b Ioro
been one Of horror, and calculated to shock
the stoutest and most hardened hoart.-

DEATH OF RUSSIAN LADY FROM CLAN
sikof one Of the most charming amongst
all that bevy Of charming Russian ladies
who sometimes gladden. the winters Of Paris,
has created terrible shock amongst the cir |
cles she so lately ombelishod by hor pres

short time ago on summer tour to Ger
many. While stepping from the door of the
opera house at Berlin, to gain her carriage,

ticed at the time, laughingly, that one of tho
horses belonging toa carriage close Mt hand
had dropped his head so close 10 her face
that he had touched her, and left moist
kiss upon her cheek. In few days the
unfortunate lady was taken i'll with that
most horrible disease, glanders, and, in n
few days moro breathed her last, in spite Of
the attendance of the first physicians Of Ber-
lin, and oyery resource to bo obtained by
wealth, or by the ceaseless vigilance of
fricnds.-- Court Journal. gWHg
