Francois Senechal met with a terrible
accident in the steam saw mill at Island
Pond. He was at work by a boxing ma
chine stacking the box sides as fast as
manufactured, and in moving two and
from the saw he stepped on a piece Of
sticking which turned his foot and caused
him to fall, his wrist striking the saw.
Che cut extended from the wrist to near
II the centre of the arm, the soft flesh be-
ing cut out clear to the bone, the wrist
also being nearly severed. DR.. Pottle
attended the unfortunate fellow, and has
hopes of saving the arm. Senechal had
only been working in the mill day or

st. Adams has been excited over the
finding of mans body in coffin about
six inches under the ground. After in
vestigation it seems probable that the
body was that of a soldier named Edward
l. Ordway of Troy. 1t is very probable
that after his death the body and his eff
fects were put into coffin and started
for Troy, it went to St. Adams by mis-
take, and as nobody came to claim the
body it was buried there by the express
company. The extreme shallowness of
the grave can perhaps be explained by
the supposition that the parties hired to
bury the body neglected to do their work
well, or that it was intended to exhume
it as soon as anybody called for it.
