ACCIDENTS.
J.F. CALLBREATH, brakeman on the C.M. & St.P.R.R., met with a serious accident here this morning. He had been turning a switch, and in attempting to catch and climb the passing cars his foot slipped and went under the wheels, one of which passed over the toes, mauling them so that the most of them will have to be amputated. It is a sore job for Frank but it is lucky that he is no worse. Dr. BROWN is attending.
One of John LEIGHOLD's boys had a narrow escape this week. In driving a harvester, out on Mr. REDHEAD's farm the team ran away; throwing off and stunning the binders, and ran several times around the field before they were stopped, badly wrecking the machine. The boy held to the seat and to the lines until the team was stopped and was almost miraculously saved from injury. A harvesting machine is a dangerous thing for boys to engineer.
