TERRIBLE AND FATAL AccIDESr.--On Monday
last Mr. w. F. Hollingworth, proprietor of
saw mill on Bear Greek, about eight miles east
of Coloma, attempted to screw up nut near
the saw while in motion. His hand slipped
and the sleeve Of his shirt, near the wrist, was
caught BY the saw, and in an instant he was
drawn under its teeth, and his arm, shoulder
and back were shockingIy and feAriuiiy mau-
gled. In two places his arm was sawed in
two, and only held together by shreds of flesh,
his shoulder was wrenched from its socket,
two of his ribs torn out, and his back torn
open large enough to see the beating of his
heart. In this condition, suffering untold ag-
ony, and praying to be put out of his misery
retaining his senses to the last-he fingered
about nine hours! He was an old resident of
our county, universally respected and his death
is most deeply deplored by his numerous
friends. We sympatbse with his wife and
children in their afIliction. A few years ago
he was Lieutenant Of the Coloma Grays His
funeral was largely attended and, every conso-
lation was offered to his bereaved family.

PERsoNAL.-Senator C0nness, attended by B
B. Reddiug, the Abolition nominee for Secre'
tary Of State, paid us visit on Monday.
CONFESS makes an excellent chaperon, and un-
obtrusive B. B. seemed to appreciate his pat
roniziug air. Our old partner introduced him
to the faithful, which was sufficient to secure
their enthusiastic support. We were pleased
10 see the master Of the Administration party
looking 50 well, bearing his honors SO meekly
and conducting himself so becomingIy, espe-
ciAlly after hls recent crushing victory over
Phelps. Sergeant, Epson, PIxIey, Fargo and
other Aboltionists He held hls old enemies
the men who ridcued, truduced and despised
him, in the hollow of his hand aud made them
drain the cup of degradation to the dregs. 1t
rejoices our heart to see John the master Of
such men.
