His head was crushed into a shapeless mass, and both arms were broken. His body was also badly bruised. The engineer, Mr. CHAPMAN, did not notice the boy in time to prevent the accident. The boy was 14 years of age, and lived with his parents on a farm, about one mile from where the accident occurred. * Nearly drowned.-On Wednesday morning last Mr. G.B. STANTON, who had not long since removed from Wellsville, Allegany Co., to this place, went into the creek back of Jerome CLARK's place to bathe. When in the water he was taken with a cramp and sank. Mr. Horace GIBBS, who was near by called lustily for help and several men came to the rescue, and Andrew McCULLEY, the first one who arrived, plunged into the water and, diving, found the drowning man and brought him to the shore. It was with difficulty that he was resuscitated. A moment more and life would have been extinct. * submitted by Linda Schmidt *********************************************
