         Fatal Accident At Newaygo
         
         A horrible and fatal accident occurred at Newaygo,
       on Monday last, by which a young man named THOMAS
       BALDWIN, of Cannon, in this county, lost his life.
       He was engaged as a sawyer in the mill of Mr. Matevy.
       While in the act of rolling a log on the carriage,
       in consequence of the slipping of his lever, or log
       hook, he fell upon the circular saw, and his body
       was instantaneously anc completely severed just be-
       low his breast. His fellow workmen did not observe
       the movement, until a slight change in the sound of
       the saw caused them to look around, and with horror,
       to see his quivering form roll upon the floor, in
       two parts, one upon each side of the log.
        - Grand Rapids Eagle.
