SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT CLocKvILLE, MADI-
SON Col have just returned from witnessing one
of the most shocking and heartrending accidents
that ever befel this community, or became my pro-
vince to record Charles Chapman, an intelligent
amiabe and robust lad of seven years oage, of
Harrison Chapman, fell among the machinery of a
saw-mill, which his father tending, and was lit
orally ammed pieces. He was seen standing for the
last time alive at the upper and outer end of the MILL


on the bridge, covering the mouth of the fume. 1t


is presumed that he slid into the water, below the
rack guarding the fume when the mill was in full
motion, and the draft of water strong, and conse-
quently, he was drawn suddenly and swiftly through
the aume to where it struck the water wheel. This
being of the patent cast iron, and strongly pro-
tected by covering also of cast iron, and the mouth
of the cavities being about four inches in diameter
did not allow Of his escape through. Here the body
was whirled around with the wheel, between it and
the covering and of course obstructed the motion of
the MILL On going below, to see the cause, the fa-
ther discovered torn boot and piece of cloth foa-
ting in the water below the wheel, which he imme-
diaeIy recognized to be those of his son, which gave
him the first intimation ofthe appalling accident
The agonizing tones and movements Of the father,
Immediately brought assistance. The reservoir was
empted, and boy entered the fume, with rope at
tached to his waist to the wheel, who after some
ertion obtained the body, and both were drawn up.
His scalp was completely torn from his head, and
pieces were picked up in the water below the wheel;
his skull broken, and few pieces gone. Every
large bone in his body was broken and shattered,
and his flesh horribly torn Cor. Of The Albany ar
