FATAL ACCIDENT.-O the 9th inst,
Almon Walter of this town, aged 70
years, and Lorenzo Lund went upon
East Haven mountain, about two miles
from Halls mills, numbering. While
dragging a log to his sled, it swayed
around and struck Mr. Walter, crushing
him against tree, making fearful
cash on the inside Of his knee, tearing
flesh, cord aud veins, leaving gap as
large as a mans open hand. The blow
aud flowing Of blood caused him to faint
when Mr.. Lund (weighing only l45 lbs.)
took Mr. Walter (weighing 1850 in his
arms, and carried him, bleeding and
faintng, between 30 and 40 rods, through
the snow full three feet deep, while Wal
,er's hands and feet dragged in the snow.
Here he put chains on his logging sled,
and tearing off spruce and hr boughs
made him a bed, then hitching on the
sled two yoke Of oxen, (the snow was Is
inches deep, and one yoke could hardly
drag the sled) stripping from himself his
Irock, and wrapping it around Walters
cold, torn limb, he started down the
mountain, full two miles, wading in the
snow beside the oxen, and urging them
on as fast as his blee ling, fainting
friend could endure, throwing snow into
| Walters face, then goading the team,
ill he came in sight of VIM. Aldrich's,
when his cry for help startled neghbora
one-half a mile or more, who ran 10 his
aid. DR.. Bedford of East Burke was
soon there, and dressed the fearful wound.
! Walter seemed after a time to revive,
and some hopes we're cherished, as the
main artery was not vered at the knee,
but soon the symptoms changed, and it
was seen the leg above the wound was
enlarging, aud then it was discovered
that the main artery was ruptured in the
body, aud was filling internally with
blood. Death then eLsued in a short
| time.
Young Lund is entitled to and receiv-
ed the gratitude OF the relatives and
friends Tor his heroic and brotherly act,
done with 80 much forethought, self-de-
NAL and devotedness, The same young
man rescued another comrade from
drowning some time since, as he broke
through the ice while skating. Such
brave and noble acts should not be for
gotten. Lyndon W Union.
