mington, had narrow escape from
death While standing in front of her
cottage last evening.
A large, decayed limb. which had
become water soaked, broke from the
tree and falling, grazed her head with
sufficient force to render her partly un-
conscious
Mrs. Adams sank in the arms Of Mr.
Adams who carried her into the cot
tage, whore she was soon revived.
Though sustaining a bad laceration.
the skull was not confused. She was
much better to-day
Several women were standing by
Mrs Adams when She was struck. and
that they escaped serious injury Is all
most miraculous, as the limb was fully
hve feet in length.
