EnIToR: There was a Mr. Britton killed at Mr. Benjamin Kelley's Saw mill, on the 22d ult. He was bearing off lumber from the saw, and by some means was jerked on the saw by a plank. He was horribly mangled, the saw cutting off one of his arms, and cutting his body nearly in half ins two places. He was about50 years of age. He lived about one hour and a half, and died.
