Moving Machine Accidents.

The Bucks Go. Journals for the present week
record list OF accidents caused, we suppose, by
negligence in the working of moving machines,
which will cause our farmer to exercise great
caution and care. Herewith we give short ac-
counts ofsome of these distressing accidents
John Scott jr., of Warrington township, fell
across moving machine, and had the three fin
gers OF his right hand completely cut off.
Mr.. George F. Shelmire, who keeps the Spread
Eagle Hotel in Huntingdon Valley, Montgomery
Go, while moving with machine which became
clogged in attempting to free the machine of
grass, feel under it and was mangled in terrible
manner. One hand was cut entirely off, and the
other so mangled as to make amputation neces-
sary. He is in critical situation, and it is
doubtful whetherhe will recover his injuries.
Mr.. Joseph Boucher of Solebury, met with
sad accident. He had just commenced moving
with moving macine, and observing some brush
in the grass ahead stepped in front of the knives
and cut the heel of one foot nearly up to the ance-
joint entirely off, and cut the remainder of the
foot nearly into peices
A man living with Daniel Starkey near Bus
Teton, was thrown from a moving machine, q
few days since and run over having his left leg
broken and otherwise injured. The horses ran
away and getting into woods near by entirely
destroyed the machine.
It is also reported that boy in Upper Dublin
23d Ward, Philadelphia, had his hand taken off
in machine few days ago.
Lewis Buchanan of Newtown, had his thumb
smashed by getting it forced in between the cog
wheels of his moving machine. He had the
machine out of gear and was cleaning it, when
the accident happened.
While Capt Joseph Eyre, OF the same place
was cleaning the cogs of his horsepower, pre-
paratory to threshing out some rakings, be had
the misfortune to get his thumb fast in the ma
chinery, ana the consequence was it came out
badly battered.

The New American Cyclopedia

This work destined to be the universal COM
panion of every one, has already reached its
sixth volume. 1t is the design of the work to
furnish condensed exhibition of the present
state of human knowledge on the most import
ant subjects of inquiry. The discussion of the
controverted points of science, philosophy, re-
ligion, or politics, does not enter within the COM
pass of it's plan but it aims exclusively at an
accurate and impartial account of the develope
ment of opinion in the exercise of thought, of
the depth of physical research, of the prominent
events in the history of the world, of the most
significant productions of literature and art, and
of the celebrated individuals whose names have
become associated with the conspicuous pheno-
mena of their age. In preparing the materials
of the work, neither the Editors nor their cola
borers have attempted or desired to make it d
vehicle for the expression of personal notions.--
Each subject has been treated in the point of
view of those with whom it is a speciality, and
not in that of Indifferent or hostile Observers
The Editors are George Ripley and Charles A.
Dana, and the work is published by D. Apple
ton & Co., New York. Mr.. Crate, the agent
for the sale of this admirable production, will be
in this place during the month of September, en-
gagged in the distribution of the seventh volume
Back numbers can be procured if applied for to
the agent. We call attention to the work, and
ask for it an examination. A copy can be seen
at this Office 1t will be complete in about
twenty-sx volumes, which, of themselves will
form complete library of useful information.

A Pic Mic.


On Saturday a large party of our ladies and
gentlemen assembled in the grove at the celebra-
ted highlands Spring to spend the day in search
of pleasure at the invitation of Mr. A. j Beau
mont, who for getting up and carrying out this
species of pleasure is getting quite name. The
day was spent in eating, drinking, frolicking,
love-making, &C., and from what we can learn,
(rumor, of course) it appears one of our staunch
standard disciples of Benedick has fallen vic
tim to one of the heart searching darts which
could not well have missed it's mark How can
one spend day in the woods without falling in
love! We remember how we used to get our
feet fast in the underbrush and there we stuck,
nothing could draw US from our perplexing pre-
dicament but a pair of laughing eyes peering
through the bushes, and how we used to get in
to all kinds of quagmires and lose our way,
running with mouth agape after one of the most
bewitching of natures productions, which had
deigned to whisper our name in tender tones
These we know to be facts and wherefore will you
question the feasibility Of the rumor that some
body's gone in" To say all were pleased with
their excursion would not suffice, the expression
is too weak, they had a "jolly time, " and moth
ing less will express their minds.

Adventure with a Snake.

The last number of the Quakertown Press
gives the the following adventure with snake !:
" Our friend Henry Prick, of Richland, while
passing along the road near California in car
riage few days ago, spied snake of kind
which was new to him running under the fence,
and feeling curious to look at the creature more
closely, he alighted for the purpose of making an
investigation. On approaching it, his snakeship
gave evident manifestations of fight. Mr. F.
who by the way is no coward, stood his ground
like warrior, procured himself suitable wea-
pom and at length succeeded in conquering the
venomous reptile afterit had made several at
tempts to bite him.
1t was about three feet long and is what is
called the copper or copperhead snake. They
are said to be quite numerous in that section and
as the bite of them is very poisonous, it would
be well for people to be on their guard"
