of Mr. MeCoi-mick on theEufanla and
Montgomery railroad,.in Bullock coun
ty, Alabama, on "Wednesday last, there
occurred a sad accident—such as are
often recorded about machines run by
steam. A laborer (colored) in toe em
ploy of Hr. McCormick, while moving
some plank from toe mill, allowed toe
plank to touch the saw, and was
thrown down, and before he could
rise was caught by toe saw, and was
immediately killed; the saw cutting
diagonally through Ms body from toe
shoulder to toe waist, cuttingtorough
toe lungs and heart. Mr. McCormick
was standing near, and made a desper
ate effort to save the unfortunate man,
but was too late. It was but toe
work of a second—so sudden and ter-
‘conservative ! Re- rible toat toe lungs and heart were ob
