ACI'IIIKNT IN A HAKYIPIT FIKLIL-On Monday even•
ing, betvreen eight and nine o'clock, a severe accident
befell a workman in the employ if Mr. Levi Chi/intim,
named George Freeborn, V4lO had been during the
day making an oat•rick in a field called Cudberry.
About the time mentioned Freeborn was standing on
a ladder for the purpose of filling in what is generally
known as the "pitching hole" of a rick. Whilst so,
ding the ladder gave way, precipitating violently to !
the ground a person named Gnflin, also Freeborn.
The latter was carefully conveyed to his residence. It
appears to be a serious compound fracture of the leg,
close to the knee joint, tlw bone having pnitnidisi
through the skin. It occasioned a considerable loss of
aid. It is reported that, through thrower kindness
.1 the fanner, there was an unlimited supply of
liquor for the workmen. Moine people an, charitable

gregations being very large. Ilunnett's service was
taken up very heartily by choir and congregation.
Mr. Alfred Wareham (alto of the Minster churl dis-
played his good and cultivated taste in the anthem.
Mr. It. J. Eaton, the organist at St John's Church,
