He an A-shaped corn cutter, which requires the service* of two men to operate. Henry Wiseman was assisting him. The men stand on the cutter which la drawn between two corn rows. A stalk of corn failed to cut and Mr. Elliott reached for the stalk to hold it in an upright poaitioa and was pulled off the standing board and the sharp knife waa pulled against hla left lug, cutting it severely. He bled profusely and there seemed danger of him bleeding to death before he could be taken to hla home. A physician was summoned and the bleeding stopped, but he was very weak from loss of blood and it waa found thkt the flesh had been badly lacerated, the tendons cut, and a alight injury to bone. Mr. KUlott will be laid up for several weeks and may be left a cripple. The aocldent is a very unfortunate one. We have plenty of that fine Long Hera Orearn Cheese again.
