MIRACULOUS EsCAPE-MAN CARRIED Il
FEET ABOVE THE EARTH


FEET ABOVE THE EARTH.
The Wheeling Inteuigencer soberly relates
the following startling incident. If true, it
certainly deserves record as q remarkable
accident and escape:
The most frightful and at the same time
the most remarkable accident we have ever
seen on record, occurred at the Catholic
Church, yesterday morning. some twenty
persons we're engaged in putting up the new
bell which arrived from Piitsburg the evening
before There was O MINDLESS erected on the
ground, to which was attached a snatch block
and shieve Immediately above the open
space 10 the cupola, TO which the bell was to
be drawn up, there protruded beam, to
which was attached another snatch. block and
pulley and the bell was to have been convey
ed to the top by means ofstrong ropes, work
ing through these shieve by the power Of the
windlass and cylinder upon the ground. The
bell had been raised in this way almost up to
the open space in the cupola, and the men
were just ready to pull it in.
4 maD named Thomas Newton was below,
engaged III guiding the folds of the rope as it
wound round the cylinder. 10 do this, he
had firm grasp upon the rope. When the
bell had reached great height from tue
ground. one Of ;be coss in the wheels Of the
MINDLESS fixture gave way. Another revo!u-
! tion of the wheel ripped of ell the cogs; the
bell fell ~ the ground, aud Newton, who had
hold Of the lower end OF the rope, was carried
up with fright(nl velocity, a distance OF one
hundred feet from the ground, and about
four feet above the aperture where the bell
was to have been taken IN. For the instant,
every one was surprised beyond measure, and
before those engaged in the work could COM
/ preLeud what had happened Newton, with
| his bands all lacerated and bleeding, worked
himself down opposite the aperture, ard
called for help TO those within Bishop
! Wheian, who was on the platform in the Gu
pula, reached oat at the risk of his lie almost,
and seiziug Newton by the waist, pulled him
from his awful position.
The accident struck everybody with amaze
meut and all but the eyewitnesses were 10th
! to believe in the increduoss feat. The bell
weighed three thousand seven hundred
pounds. aud az it fell without hndrance,
some idea may be formed of the rapdity with
which Newton ascended. lie says he thought
of letting 90 the rope, but before the thought
was clearly refined, he was at the beam, o
hundred feet above. He had no time to let
60 his hold upor the rope. Some cogs and
pieces Of machinery were hurled distance
Of two squares from the church and Mr..
| Smith, who was sta ding near, received an
ugly wound in the face from flying particle.
Mr. Newton was taken to the Office Of DR..
ilupp. where his wounded hands were dress
ed The flesh was all torn from the palms
Of his hands, even to the bone, which is sup.
posed to have been done by the death grasp,
aud his sliding down the rope during the
swift passage into air. Altogether. we sup
pose there is not o more startling or remal k.
able accident, or u more miraculous escape
Oh record.

PERUVIAN BaRK.-The Superintendent of

He says From the apparent hardness of
the tree, thriving as it does in the mountains
near Loxa, in Ecuador. at elevations of six
thousand to eight thousand feet above level

adaptation TO the ciimste Of the Southern

to New York sufficient quantity OF the seed
of this tree Tor experiment, and at least one
thousand cuttings.
