SAD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS at SheShe-
quin sends in the following account of a sad
accident which occurred on Friday week.
little girl aged ten years, daughter Of
Adam Feucht, German residing in this vicin-
ity, while at the mill of Gore & Randall, in
company with her brother older, waiting for a
grist, diverted herself abont the mill looking
at the machinery &c While in the third story,
where there was a carpenter at work, her shawl
10y some means came in contact with a small
upright shaft which was making about one
hundred revolutions per minute she was i'm
mediately wound up to the shaft and made to
revove at that rapid rate at least a hundred
times, before the carpenter could 90 below and
stop the mill. There was space of but seven
inches between the shaft and post, through
which she was made to pass at every revoln-
ton. She was probably killed at the first rev.
olution as her head was nearly torn from her
body, and almost every bone broken. Her
mother was confined to the bed with sickness,
remains as they were being carried home from
the scene of the accident. This case seemed
the more distressing to the parents, as, but a
few years ago, they had a son burned up in a
faIIow, under circumstances equally melancholy.
This calamity ought to remind all mill own
ers that such shafts (although they may ap-
pear harmleSs,) should be boxed, so as to
avoid the possibility of such accidents in fu-
ture

mined teceIebrate the victory in Penny lvanias
on that day, the attendance of Col I Spicer,
with the cannon under his carse. and two ex-
perienced artilerists, Ciawford Titus and
David Titus, brothers, was secured. The
firing of the cannon had progressed without
accident, till they were preparing to discharge
it for the last time at about five o'clock, p. m,
when from some unknown cause, it went off
while they were in the act of loading it, wound
ing Crawford and David Titus in . most shock
ing manner, and slightly injuring Mr.. Tanner,
Crawford Titus had his right fore arm torn
off just below his elbow, and the arm badly
broken and laccrated. Both his eyes were
put out the right eyeball was destroyed by
splints from the ramrod, and the coats of the
left eye so cut and burned with powder as to
destroy the sight. His face. neck, and breast,
were horribly mangled and torn. As soon as
reaction commenced taking place, the torn
vessels began to bleed and, the injury being
so near the shoulder, hemorrhage could not be
arrested except by amputation of the limb
After making Intellectual attempts to stop the
bleeding, the arm was amputated, near the
shoulder, by Dr. Patrick. The patient, weaken
ed by the loss of blood, and prostrated by the
shock, continued to sink, and died about eleven
o'clock, p. m, Of the same day. ........
David Titus had the flesh torn from the inside
of the middle of the left forearm-the hand
and fingers badly acerated some of the fingers
entirely torn off-and his face and eyes burned
but not so as to produce any permanent injury
1t was decided by the physicians in attendance
-Drs. Blackman, Patrick Dimock, Park, and
w. L. Richardson that the hand could not
be saved ; and they advised that the arm
should be amputated. The operation was pre-
formed by DIR. Patrick 1t is expected that
the patient will recover
Crawford Titus, who was a highly respected
citizen of Hartford township, leaves a widow
and four children, with but little property
His funeral was attended in Hartford, on
Monday, by large concourse of mourners
This unhappy occurrence has cast a deep
gloom over the community and, although the
loss sustained by the afflicted family is one that
can never be repaired efforts are making to
express the sympathy of the public in such
manner, and to render such aid, as is in their
power
