A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

On Monday last William Lansingdale,
a young lad employed in the woollen
mills of william Dean & Sons near
Newark, met with very painful acci-
dent. He was engaged in working at
one of the pickers, when he suddenly
slipped forward, and his left arm caught
in the machinery, and before he could
extricate it his hand was torn off. He
was removed to his home, and Drs.
Kollock and Clark were called in, and
after short consultation, they decided
that amputation was necessary. The
operation was performed and the arm
taken off near the elbow. He is now
doing as we'll as can be expected.
