A man cut to pieces by a mowing Machine. --A shocking accident occurred at West Hartford, Conn., on Wednesday afternoon, by which Mr. Joseph C Sisson lost his life in a terrible manner. Mr. S. was driving his horses attached to a mowing machine, and by some accidentally means fell in such manner as to be thrown in front of the cutting-blade. The horses could not be stopped in season to save him from a frightful laceration. One leg was cut nearly off, the bone being almost severed and the great artery divided. The flesh, tendons and musoles were cut from his thick on the other leg, and he was otherwise fright-fully mangled. He lived less than two hours, and died from the loss of blood.
