Dreadful Accident—On Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock, a young woman named Nancy Whittam, employed at D. Kellogg's cloth factory, about 1 mile north of this village, after detaching a band appertaining to the machinery, in passing under a shaft to regain her usual place, was caught by the right hand, and in the twinkling of an eye, was whirled round at the rate of 135 revolutions in a minute. The machinery was stopped as soon as possible. The sufferer was taken up in a senseless state, having received compound fractures, of the arm above and below the elbow, leg, and ankle, the bone protruding through the skin at each fracture; a large piece of flesh torn from the leg and otherwise much bruised, her legs coming in contact with the stove pipe, side of carding machine, and floor, at each revolution. (That the sufferer escaped with life is truly wonderful.)

Since writing the above, we learn that from present appearances, the patient is likely to recover.—Skaneateles Democrat.
