Singular Accident.

Yesterday morning son of Mir. Harper, soon after entering his fathers mill, at about half past six,-the Pond Lily paper mill heard cries for assistance, and proceeding to where the sound came from found the night man, Mir. Joseph sherburne, employed in the mill, caught by one hand in the machinery, in which position he had remained for six hours, or since half past twelve at night. MT. Harper speedily relieved him.

His hand was badly hurt, but not so as to cause the loss of it, and he was considerably strained from remaining so long in that position.

The Late Shooting Cases.

MT. Curtis, COnditiOn-The JerOlman
 Case Postponed to Await the Result
 The Hartford Cases
 MT. M. D. Curtis, of this city, who was called to the door and shot in the abdomen Sunday, was no worse yesterday. but danger of inflammation has not yet passed and the case is still critical.
 Jerolman was formerly connected with the Fire department and was hose driver for Steamer for e time in 1870, when he re- regular business of the City Court yesterday morning City Attorney Pickett asked for g re- cess. He stated that he had sent for Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Studley to draft the in- formation, he being disqualified because of having been consultedin the case, and that by mistake the messenger had summoned Deacon Smith, who lives in the house with Mir. Stud ey. The deacon sat in the room some time before the mistake was discovered. At 1:30 the prisoner was arraigned before Judge Par dee charged with assault with intent to kill. Judge Pardee deferred having the prisoner put to plea, deciding to commit him without bail to await the result of Curtis injuries. MT. Hugh Daley appeared for the accused The prisoner seemed in dazed condition. He was attended by Dr. F. H. Whittemore last November, when he was found to be la boring under alteration of mind. Jerolman was taken to the county jail yesterday. In the forenoon he asked to see his boy, but the request was denied owing to an apprehension growing out of the moody condition of the prisoner.
 Dr. G. F. Hawley, of Hartford, who was shot Saturday by Mir. Webster, is improving. The ball entered his right shoulder and has not been found. The wound was cared for by his father Dr. G. B. Hawley. and yesterday morning, although confined to his bed, he was considered out of danger. Mrs. Webster de- nied to a reporter for the Times yesterday that she summoned Dr. Hawley, but said that when about to leave the house, having her trunks packed and waiting and having sent the children in hack to the depot. the doctor came in and seeing him in the hall below, she asked him to come up. She says the doctor must have fastened the door on the inside al the approach of her husband, who came in just after the doctor entered.
 The Times says: The jealousy of Webster towards Dr. Hawley has been shown for per. haps year or two-and some local gossip and scandal has existed in reference to the Dr. and Mrs. Webster. About 8 year ago Webster says he borrowed $50 of Dr. Hawley-who was always ready to assist him. About six months ago Webster paid back this $50. and took from Dr. Hawley receipt in full, fol that money and for Gall professional services to date. On receiving this receipt Webster said
 ''Now, if ever catch you in my house again, I'll shoot you"

seamen,s MIr.ion Service,

The seamen's reading room, situated on Water street in 8 portion of the building for merly occupied by Larkins and Bishop, is visited by large number of the class which it is designed to reach. Samuel Thrasher, sea- man converted few months ago, is holding meetings there and acting as 8 missionary among his former companions in the mari time service. He seems to be deeply in earn est and favorably affects his hearers by his evidently honest and earnest efforts. He ad- dressed large number of persons gathered to hear him, last Sunday afternoon at the read ing room, speaking from the text: "Jesus wept." After his exhortation general invi- tation was extended to the audience to relate Christian experiences. Many responded, among them some recent converts. We understand that these services are already productive of much good, and this result is stimulating the projectors of the scheme to increased efforts.
