"A serious accident was narrowly es-
capped by the workmen upon the new mill
of the MeSsrS. Scott & Bros. of this town,
on "Wednesday. BY the slipping of heavy

being crushed by the timber by squeezing
himself into a narrow compass between two

we are informed that the ground is used by
, certain persons as paaturage for their cat
tie. The animals being turned in there daily.
A valuable COW belonging to Mr.. John

Ninsinger's mill she became frightened, and
attempted to force her way through or jump
over the wires of the fence. She however,
became entangled i'll them and in her strus-
giles, cut herself terribly, laying open her
udder and nearly seyerins one foot
