ary movement.

A singular and terrible accident has

rods above a neighbor's house situated at
at the foot of the hill, and were runniDg
the timber to the flat* on the snow-cov
ered ground, the logs usually coming out
150 feet from the house. An immense pine
log two feet in diameter and fifty feet
long was deflected from the usual course,
and, with increased velocity, shot direct
ly toward the house, in which were nine
women and children, iucluding the family
of one of the choppers, who were visit
! ing the neighbor's family. The men
stood speechless, hoping in vain that the
log would change its direction. It struck
bouse five feet from the ground and pass
ed directly through both walls, part of
which were carried along with it. One
child was killed Instantly and two other
children were frightfully injured. The
furniture was completely demolished, and
it seemed wonderful that any one of the
nine should have escaped alive.
