"On Wednesday last a most shocking accident happened at Stanhope, (N. J.) Colonel SILAS DICKERSON, owner of the different works at that place, was viewing some improvements he had been making in his Nail Factory, and on turning round to go out, his coat caught in some part of the machine, and in one instant he was drawn through and crushed into atoms, his skin was completely taken off, every bone in his body broken and very much mangled and torn to pieces. He was a valuable member of society and his death much lamented.—Orange County, Gaz."
