FUUIUTKUL ACCIDENT.— The acci
dent which happened on Strunk *c Mc-
Mulkn's saw mill in the Gap, north ol
bete, on Tuesday afternoon, is the
most appalling and calamitous event in
the histoiy of this town. Alvin.n nine
year old son of Jacob Ertel, who occu
pies the house adjoining the saw mill,
was playing under the mill with bis
sum IT i brother on said afternoon, while
the mill was in operation and unknown
to sawyer Suutik. The children have
bet*ll in the habit of playing around on
the mill since their father moved tbete
and would fuquenlly hang a rope oyer
the main shaft uuderneHtli the mill
door to swing on, notwithstanding the
repeated warnings of the mill bands.
They were doing this very thing on
that fatal afternoon, and Atviu was
hanging to the rope, when it Stuck fast
to the shaft, began to wrap and diew
the boy up before be could loosen bis
gi ipe. Mis left arm was wound around
die shaft, which is said to run at the
rate of (it 0 revolutions |K*r minute, and
was completely torn off near the shoul
der, leaving nothing but a stump of a
few inches,and tearing the llesli around
his shoulder into si.reds. The shaft is
about tnrce feet bel..w a heavy, square
piece of limber and the boy's lower
limbs must have stiuck the beam sev
eral times in goit.g around with the
shaft. At last the limp and mutilated
fotm was thrown several feet to one
side. The obstiuction of the shaft cre
ated a strange j tri ing of the machinery
which caused Mr. Strunk to stop the
mill to cxatuinJ into the matter, when
he heard the cries of Alvin's playmate
and lie and McMullen run down to see
what was wrong. Their feelings when
they beheld the sickening sight can
hardly be imagined. There the boy
laid, pale, crippled and bleeding, the
missing aim still hanging to the shaft.
They picked the maimed boy op and
earned him into the house. Medical
aid was summoned at once and in the
meantime the neighbors and several
people who passed ty when the iicci
dent happened did what they could for
the poor sufferer. The remaining
stump of the aim was amputated iu
the socket, the wound nicely dressed
and sewed up, an operation which the
brave little fellow stood withont being
under the intluence of anaesthetics,
and scarcely uttering a murmur. He
complained principally of pain in his
lower limbs. At this writing, Wednes
day noon, he is doing remarkably well
under the circumstances and rests com
paratlvely easy. It is bard to tell how
ever whether be will survive hia in
juries, which the physicians claim are
not necessarily fatal. What makes the
case more heait-stirring is that the Loy
is motherless and therefore deprived of
the tender and close care which only a
mother can giyo. His father is a poor
man, who is away most of his time
working on a railroad job, ami was ab
sent from home at the time of the ac
cident.
EX-JUDOE ADAM IIOY DEAD.—A
speziul dispatch to this oflice on Toes
day morning brought the sad announce
ment of the death of Hon. Adam lloy,
of Bellefonte. which occurred at half
past 12 o'clock that moiuiug. lie died

l>eon suffering several months prior to
his death. He leaves a wife and a large
family to mourn the loss of a beloved
husband and father. Bellefonte deeply
feels iho departure of one of her best
and most prominent citizens and the
county loses one of its learned and emi
nent lawyers. Deceased was a member
of the Presbyterian church. Political
ly lie was a democrat and was well
known all over the county and state as
an able leader and zealous worker for
his party, flis funeral will take place

Tuesday publishes the following brief
sketch of his life :
Judge Hoy was lorn in Spring township,
this county, on the (ith of September, IS'27 —
thus lacking only two weeks of lining GO
years old. He was a grandson of George
Hoy, til' Miles township and a son of Albert
and Mngdala Hoy. It is related in tlic his
tory of this county published some time
ago that Judge Hoy began attending school
when only tour years of age, Ids first in
structor being George Padget, who taught
in this vicinity during sixty years and thus
gave many of our citizens tlieir first lessons.
Schoolmaster Budget taught mainly in Jtnf*
falo and Penns Valleys, and when the
youthful Adam Hoy first went to him was
presiding over the Swartz school house in
Spring township, in fin* Kckenrodc place.
In lHol-."2 lie attended the Mifliinlmrg
Academy, and from there went to Airy
View, near l'erryville, to the Academy
kept by David Wilson. In the fall of 1K54
lie entered the Sophomore class in Pennsyl
vania College, Gettysburg, and graduated
in IKSG.
Mr. Hoy read law with the distinguished
Hon. JI ugli N. McAllister, deceased, and
on the 27th of April, 1858, was admitted to
practice. Upon the invitation of the late.
Judge.), T. Hale Mr. Hoy occupied a room
in his law ottice, and became to a great de
gree associated with Mr. Hale in the latter's
extensive business. Mr. Hoy's legal suc
cess was quickly established and he has for
years been known as one of the most learned,
able and faithful members of the legal fra
ternity in this county, liis eminence and
worth were recognized by his appointment
to be President Judge of the court when
Judge John 11. Or.vis resigned that jiosi
tion. He was, later, a contestant for the
)N)sition before the people, A. O. Fnrst,lSsq.,
