3ls., as Clarence, son of ID. p. Whitcomb,
Of st. Johnsbury, was assisting in lacing
some betting at Paddock's machine shop, he
got entangled in the same and was carried
around a shaft revolving 1870 times min
ute, until the man who was with him had
time to run into another shop, several rods
distant, and shut the gate. The boy was
not killed, as might have been anticipated,
but his left arm was broken both above and
below the elbow, one leg shockingly lacera-
ted, and his feet we're badly bruised and
mangled. 1t was a wonder he was not kill
led, as he probably revolved around the
shaft nearly 100 times, his feet and legs
striking the timbers overhead and an iron
cylinder below at each revolution. We
learn that he is in fair way of recovery.
