Monday uittilt Mr, A. 1). Oornoll, a employed iu the Etna Mills, met with n severo accident, and one thatonly lis strength and proseneo oí mmd pre vonted from bemg a tragcdy. About midiiiglit some geaiíng in tli' extreme oeak of tlio mili began to creak, and Mr. bornell went np to oü it. It was in a low part oï the foom, well under tho. orea, uid in applyrag ího il be tyaaobliged to n-iii '!i over' a haft. Wliile stooping downakey on the shaft beoame caught in the brcast of hiaáhirt, and about tlio time he va;1, llirongh his job had taken np ül the slack, and luÍ:l him down und jfSB drawing BtíD tightiü-. lio wafi thrown ovor tlic shaft, Iiíb liglit went ont, and tlion in tlio dark lio ooolly hraeed hiniself, and let the shíift slowly tear oíl'his elotlies liy stxipa, umtthe nndressing opcration vvas not dclicately performed eithcr. It would ncit do fot him to struggle nrach, as on either sido was goariiig within a lew inehen of him that secmod waitíng to seize mi a member and drawhiui iuto it,s destructive embrace. Gradually his clothes pnrtcd company witli him, cauing severo pain ly the roiighness of their takiug ofi', and at last he folt that he ■was no longer in the toils. Slowly he droAV himsell' back, and wiping the heavy drops from his brow, brought out there liy the agonizing strain of body and mind during tho trying ordeal, he startod to gropo his way dowu stairs, for ho kuew that cries of help would be nnavailing and would not be heard below. On hands and knees he modo his way, narrowly missing falling to tho ñoor below, his outstretched hand going over tho aperture, warning him of tho dange and at the samo time sorving to tell him whero he was. He crawled along, m der shafting and around posts, fooliiií: his way along titl ho reaohed the hoad o tho stairs, whcu ho staggercd to his fee and got down to the ground floor am appoared to his fellow-workmen, palé and trembling, ciad in the light and airy costume of a shirt collar and the waistband of his pants. His first remark waa, " Well, boys, I'vo stopped that squeakmg. Expianations wero soon made, and lic was sent Lome. Dr. McLanghlin was called in and foiuid tfaat hc bad dislooated his shonldor, and tho Lnside of his broast and arm wcro denudod of tho skin and badly infl.imcd by contact with tho rcvolving shaft. Theso, with tho shock, wcro the only injuries reccived and wero soon drossed, and ho was put to bod to reenporate. Last night hc was feeling much botter. So tightly were his clothes wovcn aronnd the shaft that it was found ncoessary to simt down tho mili to removo them. Thcy look as if thcy had gono through a threshing machine, so ahredded and tattered are tliey. It was a narrow oficapo from lasting injury, perhaps from dcath, and Mr. Cornell eacaped cheaply.
