The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1874-01-29

Last Friday, Freddie. only son of David
Parmcntcr, OF I1ydevile, Icight years of
age, went into the planning mill Of the For
est Slate and Mining Company, 10 have his
sled fixed. lie went behind one of the
planners and laid his left hand carclcssly on
the row Of glitterng knives. At the same mo.
mcnt the machinery put in motion, drawing
in the boys arm nearly to the elbow, cutting
the flesh in horrible manner and crushing
the bones Of the ann to atoms. The boys
life was saved only by the large belt flying
off, but some fifteen minutes elapsed before
lie could he released, as man had TO he
summoned from a considerable distance to
take the machine to pieces. Martin Ken
ncy, who wash attendance upon the plancr
at the time of the accident, testifes to the
extraordinary courage shown by the boy,
who, daring the whole, never flinchcd or
uttered cry Of pain. AS the mangled
arm was freed from the machine he i'm
agincd it must be cut off. Then he re-
qucsted that care might be taken not to get
the blood on his new pantaloons, and when
he was placed IN the wagon to be con-
vcycd home he requested that his sled be
put in also. Messengers were dispatched
in every direction for physicians, but none
could be obtained nearer than Rutland, and
Dr.. c. l.. Allen was the first to answer the
summons No effort had been made to
stop the bleeding, and when DIR, Allen ar
rived the child was nearly dead from loss
Of blood, about three hours having elapsed.
The use of stimulants finally restored the
pulse sufficiently to warrant an operation,
and the arm was amputatcd about two inch
es below the elbow. Mrs. Parmcnter, the
mother, is the daughter of Capt. Lyman
/ johnson, whose funeral occurred just one
week previous, and she is almost PROSTATE
with grief by the two Affections, which
| have followed each other in such quick
succession.
The twenty eighth meeting of the Good
/ Samaritan society was held in the Congre.
| gational church last Sabbath evening, Pre-
sident d d Cole in the chair The cXer-
ciscs were opened by scripture reading
and prayer by Rev. VIM, l.. Hines, and
after few well-choscn remarks by presi-
dent Cole, the meeting was fairly open for
business. None but detailed report can
give any adequate idea of the spirit which
ruled the hour. The temperance societies
were called to an account, some of our lo-
c,l institutions ,voro bonllol without olOvne
and places and persons were shown up in q
manner that plainly demonstrated that the
law-abiding and order-loying portion OF
our community were wide awake and fully
resolved to meet the emergencies which arc
evidently upon us. Ten ringing speeches
following each other with the rapidly Of {
preconccred movement, held the audience
: for two hours. Among them may be men
toned the remarks of Chester Spencer
who never in his lifelong warfare with thu
demon of drink, dealt harder or better dl
rected blows at the enemy, also w. a
Burnett, VI, H. Cook and Rev VIM, !.
Hines.
About thirty couples attended the dane
ing party at the Bomoseen house last Fri
day evening. 1t is evident that l.. W. Col
Inns, proprietor of that institution, is dc
, tcrmined that law and order shall prevail
thereabouts on these little occasions, sheriff
Smith being one of the leading spirits
