SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AND EXTRAOR
DINARY CURE -
Resently, an accident, which wuanourly proving fatal, happened to a me nemad Adam Drewe, employed at the iyouworks, Suead, near Metz- sham. It appears that the barge iron, tute, about thirty fact in oireauferouce, throngh which bok air is blown from the ongine, somIG- rímes gets obaty acted by nebes, nad then a mún has to creep into it for the purpose of removing i them. This was the art on the Saturday, and Drewe, who is a powerfilly-bulk man, gót into the tube for the above purpose. Not making his re-appearance, a man was sest into the tubo to scurok for him, sad found in jammed in a narrow part of „the tube in na insensible staté, After-gome dificulty lię was pulled out, still losensible, with severil scire and baras on his body. Now comes the most extraordinary part of the story -the Staffordshire most of bringing him to life, and it was is follows:- hole in deg in the ground barge enough to receive Drowe's head, and into this hole bis bend was put, face downwards, and onrefully covered up in the "mother curth," with tho, chception of a ameli hole left when breathing time came. Wonders ful to relate, there were soon signs of retaruing tile, and Drewe anar recovered as to "azearth' bigelf. Braudy was administered to him, and by wie soon bivself again—Bristol Daily Poet,
