On Wednesday of last week as Mr.. Dennis
Cretin, of this place, was engaged in feeding
separator on the farm of Messrs. B. +.
Shriver & Co., at Littlestown, Pa, the cylin-
der bnrsted from some unknown cause, one
of the concaves striking Mr.. Cretin lengthwise
across the breast and hurting him 10 or 20
feet back from the machine; flying spike cut
an ugly and painful cash in his forehead,
while other missiles struck him about the body.
Mr.. Crstin was picked up for dead and it was
fully eight or ten minutes before he showed
signs of life Drs. Fuhrmont and Gettier, of
Littlestown, were hastily summoned, and upon
examination found the wounds painful but
not necessarily dangerous. 1t was several
hours before Mr.. Cretin regained conscious
ness; his escape from instant death was almost
miraculous, as the cylinder and the interior of
the separator was total wreck and the plat
form upon which he was standing was thrown
some distance The explosion was like that
of a cannon and shook the earth in the vicin-
ity. What caused the explosion is not known,
but rumor has it, that on the 4th of July last
some boys were in the field, while the grain
was in shock, celebrating that event with fire
crackers and dynamite. Mr.. G.. at this writ.

On Monday night of last week the summer
house of Mr.. NJ. I. Yeiser, near this place,

ceived stunning blow and an ugly scalp
wound from falling limb.
