Horrible Accident.

--On Tuesday last, a Frenchman named Guilmett, employed in the railway woodshed at Island Pond, Vt., was instantly killed in a shocking and singular manner. He was sawing wood with a circular saw, run by steam power, when the saw burst. One of the fragments passed through his breast, taking out a part of his heart and liver. The piece of the saw, after passing through him, was embedded in a hard wood stick of timber to the depth of four inches.
