SUOCKING ACCIDENT AT DoRCHESTER.
On WedntAsilay evening a very nail a.Adilent happened
at Mows. Wright and S.dl'i StSPYCS in Star-lane,
resulting in terrible injuries to a porter in their
service minted William Fr.-4. About seven o'clock
Friwt, with another peter named Pitcher, :mil a lad
I named Isww Symes, was employed lowering tierces of
sugar front the ground tbs.: inio the cellar I.y means
of a windlass. Pitei,er rts-eiving them in the cellar
and rolling them out of the way, an the other
two lowered them. The windlass hail two handles,
one of which was held by the boy and the other
by FreeL When they had lowered a dozen of the
casks, two of which weighed 12 cwt. each, they
attached to the I%4mila-A a tierce weighing 10 cwt.,
and proceeded to let it down. Pitcher called out to
them that he thought they were lowering a little too
fast, and to he careful, when, while he was speaking,
one of the handles of the witellann mapped in two
-- it is not known which. but they think the
one held by the boy ; aml then, the full
strain of the weight Colllll3g upon the remaining
handle, it alwi broke, the tierce fell, whirling the br..ken
handle round with great veloAty, and it Struck Frost

tion continued very critieal. Frost in a limn who has
had a good deal of experienee as a grocer's porter. In
the previous week, and on many former ......easions,
tieruni of sugar have been liwered by the Salta; wind-
lass weighing an Cil ILS a ton. Frost has a wife and
seven children, and the sad accident has exeited it

will be shown to them in their affliction.

By the jury: About a month before be helped Frost let
ilown a tierce of 12 cwt. This was ion of 10 cwt. ll*
thought the winch broke no Ile let go. They were letting
doyen a little too fast. Both of them regulated the speed
with the bathes.
Samuel Pitcher, in the service of Me+sni. Wright, said
tint on Wednesday :diens..i they lowensl four tierees of
sugar—two of IS cwt. and two of 12 cwt. -from the ground
O'er to the cellar. The OW Wheal the accident happened
was a fifth, unil weigned about 10 cwt. Frost, and the
boy, and him- were employed doing it. They hail all
been so engaged mane I afore. iitiic considered
the lad strong ciloihti to he SO employed. Ile was in the
cellar, anti noticed tieit the emk woo eeallilla .lown faster
than usual: ...abed out to them to be careful, saying it
was coining ti fast. Attic spoke the accident Lapis:not.
Ile ran into the road and called to know if either of them
WM hurt. The boy 5.1141 re..-t Oar, and he ran upstairs.
Ile saw Frost had a great gash in the heal; took ludil of
him and spoke b. him, hut he ilid not answer. Ile told the
tray to go for a doctor and for Mr. Wright. Ile called to
Slime one passing for assiiitance, and Fneit scat taken to
the hospital. Mr. Wright had come to the place es
diately. On Tuesday atterimen they had lowered eight—
seven of 10 cwt, and one id 12 cwt. In the previous week
a tierce weighing Int met, was. sexed by Fro,t, the carter,
and himself. The boy did not assist in that. Ile hail been
with Messrs. Wright about I years. Tleat,ht they had the
windlass new about IS mouths ago. They had Pulled op
17 cwt, with it ; Wei 11111C11 harder to get op than iower
down.
By the jury: toaptider it safer to lower as they did than
hiring break. The handles were not bent before.
117 Symonds Two of then. had let flown 14 or
15 cwt. at a thus. In lowering mit the carter had said ti
hint, You base got it all yourself," when the weight was
10 cwt. or 12 cwt. The cask when Ont iieviileat happened
was alant the lightest they hail. Frost and the boy had
let down 12 cwt. 2 qrs. If lit
Mr. Charles Fenner, engineer, of the firm of Crocker.
Fenner, and Co., said the crab or lifting winch, wan
supplied by them in March, 1,71. At the time it Was sent
out he Waillaial tic with illness, but he believed he Ind seen
it once since. From the appearanie iif the handle tiroken
lie thought the turn tea 3 a little shorter than usual, owing
ti its having lawn overheated in the 11111411111 J off. In
machinery of this kind they only bold tlic last branded
bars. After being long in continuous use, it was difficult
ti judge as to dui original fil.re, as it crystallised aidl
became " anappish " rather than eliongateiL A jerk
would produce that result. Ile helium:it the machinery
fairly used would lift a ton. If jerked a sudden snap
would fulliov rich: so the machine was Marla three times as
strong as the nominal s. eight it was meant G. carry.
With fair wear and tear a matkine of that kind ought to
last for ninny years. but it War very .1 lb to my, as
there was it good deal of difference of ...pinion as to what
was fair and tear.
By Mr. 11. Symonds : Did not consider the Illaellille
defective. Attributed the fracture to its being sold...eh-4
to a jerking motion.
Mr. Phillipps, the Borough Surveyor, mid he was
abltutint2i! with machinery of all kinds. Ile hart
examined.the crab, and one handle appeared to have had
a fault in it for some thee In hot weather iron became
tougher, it WY more likely to snap during frost. He
did not think any part ought ti: NJ wade of cast. iron,
wiles. it were much stutter titan 01 Mb. rare. Fin- biting
heavy weights noom:ht iron should be used. As to the
accident, he thought dud probably Frost hail rad tight
hold of the handle, and die boy began Li lower alone, and
1113 handle broke ; the handles then nett round so fast
that he could not catch hold of it, and thus it struck him.
Ile attributed the breaking to the handle held huy the boy
being cast iron.
Mr. Fenner said if not jerked he believed the machine
would have remained intact.
In au...a er to Mr. Symonds, Mr. l'hillipps thou .:lit the
bandit, held by t e boy broke first and then the other
might have come in ts,o I y the speed of the revolution.
The buy was recalled at tht suggestion if the forelimb,
and said Frost had hold of a handle as WtJl:.: 1 in-itself, and
they hail lifted and then lowered about this.. feet liefure
the accident happened.
Mr. Fenner nail the usual practice was to um wrought
iron in machinery of this kind, but sometimes cast was
used for light work. Wrought iron was re reliable. He
did not sty...idler a I-ton crab War very heavy maehinery.

FLOWER SKIISION AT PORTLAND.
On Sunday last, the 14th inst., the Antal, ersary services
were hell at St. Gssrge's &torn°, in behalf of the Sunday
school-the curate, the Rev. .1. M. Stack, preaching in the
morning, apocially to the children, and the rector, the
Rev. J. Beazer, addressing the evening congregation in a
" flower sermon." The ;:unday school i* largely attended,
some ritt scholars receiving therein that religious instruc-
tion which is so often found in after life a sheet anchor in
temptation, and there is a numerous band of teachers.
The clergy of the pariah take great interest in the work.
and the curate is to be found Sunday after Sunday taking
one of the elder classes. Great interest was taken in the
services en Sunday, anal the infrillollll both niorniug and
evening breathed soinething of that earnest desire to do
good which is so markedly characteristic of both the rector
and curate; and we have great pleasure in reporting their
discourses. The musical part of the serVice4 partook of a
festive character, and the choir acquitted themselves so
well that we hope they may he iniluceil to aim higher,
take pains to do well, and then we have no doubt the
praises if the congregation will not only be hearty and
joyous, but pleasing to musical east Prayers were read
at morning service lay the rector, and the preacher was the
Rev. J. U. Stack, who chose as his text Psalm viii., 2, and
by the simple and interesting treatment of the subject ob-
tained and sustained the attention of the children through-
out. In the evening the service was held at six o'clock,when,
conformably to a request made, the children carried nose-
gays of flowers, and many of the congregation were
similarly supplied -the men generally appearing with a
launch of flowers in &buttonhole of their coats, and the ladies
carrying bouquets or having bunches of flowers on their
attire. The pulpit and reading-desk-which to a stranger
suggest the idea of great tubs set on pedestals-were
wreathed with garlands and the panels enriched with
charming Imaqueta, by the kindness of Mrs. Ileasor, and
although all was simple, there was excellent taste dis-
played. The curate read the prayers, and the choir sang
an anthem, " Behold how good and joyful it is for brethren
to dwell together in unity." Mrs. 'logger took the treble
solo very sweetly, the duet following was equally well
sung, and Mr. W.Attwooll gave the bass solo; the verse
parts were excellent, and the organist (Mr. K.. 1. Attwooll)
and the choir are to be congratulated. The rector's text
was the words "They toil not, neither do they spin; yet
I say unto you, men Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these." Mr. Bean/r preached extem-
pore. Ile observed that our Bible is a book which, apart
to sactral character and Divine authority, has for UF
many and peculiar attractions, and not the least of them
is the frequent reference to objecta in the natural world
which brighten it.. pages. There are many allusions to
mountains and valleys, cloud and sunshine, light and
darkteis -to beasts of the field and fowls of the
air, and last, but not least. to the flowers of the
fiebi. We all admire nature. Its objects of
beauty and grandeur impress our minds from the flays of
our chililhnial, and tonal a kind of Medium through wt.ich
gnn.l ,thoughts and good feelings may easily and agree-
ably lie transmitted to I,lar souls and fixed permanently
there. Thus it is that the writers in Word frequently
employ natural objects that we love to convey to our minds
spiritual truths. If they wish to teach us the joy and
blessedness of a religious life they remind us that " the
path of the just is as the atoning light that shineth re
and more into the perfect day. If in contrast they would
nicture to us the misery of the um:mill they say -the
path of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what
they it Isle." If they seek to indicate the happy changes
the (inflict produces in this warld of iairs they say-" the
vrildernefs and the solitary place shall he glad in them ;
the desert shall relent and blossom as the rose." Anil when
our dear Redeemer liii,neht would teach 14, full iinfalter-
ing dependence on (lod the illustration he uses is that of
the lilies of the field and the fowls of the air which are
' preserve, by His bounty and adorned by His hand.
1 Truths of the deepest import are thus taught through the
1 mat of the natural objects about us' which are most
familiar awl attractive; and if that was the way in which
God taught them, lie thought it mild not be ,sing very
1 far wrong if in his humble way he occasionally adopted the
same method of teaching, and once in a year, as now.
.tried
to make them feel a deeper interest in what he sant by
preaching front the flowers of the field. We all love the
beautiful things of nature ; it would lie ilitticelt to thol a
person who floes not love flowers, anal in preiwhing what
was called " the flower sermon • be asked then, to bring
flowers with them to church to mark the occasion, and •
few were put about the reading desk and pulpit to adorn
them, lint his simple anal only motive was, if pissilde, to
make the precious Word of Gal inure winsome and
eliectoal to their hearts, and that by the Holy Spirit
It might be brought home with (molt power
1, to their consciences. Ile prayed that the words of his
sermon might fall on their hearts like the silent dew
in the night mason on the thirsty dowers, out
in them and from them whatever there was of sweetness,
or grace, or loveliness, or goodness. He was preaching
the flower sermon for the children of the parish Sunday
whirl!, and wanted to excite a warmer intereat in the
good work, to persuade more to engage in it, anal to stir
up those already employed to be more earnestand devoted.
He Wint preaching to them all. In the two previees years
he preached in the morning some simple words suitable
to the children ; but this year that had been alone well by
Mr. Stack, and now he addressed teore particolarly
the older ones, and wanted to find a deeper place for G.sl's
Word than hitnerto in all their hearts, He flail not want
any to sit and listen, anal think what was said was not in•
tended for them but for somebody else, air they would go
away taking no good. People showed marvellous
nets in listening to sermons for other penile. Ile lately
read what a negro preacher said on Gals paint, mail
the rev. gentleman repeated the illuaatrstian, LI the etfect
(hot souls were hot through excessive genericity in
giving one let of a sermon to one brother, another bit
too second, and so on, till none WAR left for himself. Ile
thought they would all admit there was as gesl ileal of
truth in that story. The want of a self-applying conscience
often caused the bed inirlllolll to have WI more intlnenev
than the rain on a rock, for people dealt very often with
the words of the preacher as children did with flowers --
wantonly plucked them anal cast them away. The most
forcible sermon distributed in that way could ilo very
little good, and left those who than. scattered impel truths
in poverty and emptiness ot mul. Ile wished each one of
them to listen for while he directed them to the
words spoken by our Saviour respecting dowers and the
leansins they were meant to teach. It was more than
L'4lo years ago since Jesus Christ, sitting on the hill
side in the fields of Galilee, near the beautiful lake of
Oenesereth, uttered the words which lie hail chosen for
a text. Many had gathered round to listen to him from
various motives-some were there prompted by curiosity
to see one so much talked about; sone" MUM to hear the
gentle and loving words his snake; some to have their
diseases healed: said some merely to criticise, to cavil,
and to find fault. Wherever Jesus went his object was to
do good ; His whole life was deecrilsed as a going about
doing gnnd ; and seeing so many assembled, he took the
opisirtunity in his own apt familiar way to teach them
important truths. Travellers tell in that in “alilee in
the months of April and May the fields are covered
with large scarlet turhan-shaped flowers: and perhaps
it wm with a launch of these in his band, or
pointing to them as they grew at his feet., that Jesus
mit, "They toil not, neither do they spin; yet
unto you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these." He wanted then, to trust iii God, even
for their clothing, and believe that Ile who clothed with
grace the flowers that perish so soon would much more
take care of them who had souls Wiliell WOUili never die.
'When Ile said "Consider the lilies' he mm.eant they were
to think about them. If they pulled one to pieces they
could observe its shape, texture, and colour, anal must
come to the conclusion that no art or ingenuity of lemi
could pnaluoc anything 80 delicate and beautiful. That
was WM kaaJa. Then our Saviour wanted them to con-
alder how they grbw. A short time sso they were dry roots
In the ground, but they sprang up nod grew night and
flay till they became those beautiful scarlet flowers.
There was growth lo them, and that growth was the gift
of Goa. In God's people, too, there most be not only life
but growth-growth in grace, in holiness of character, and
giml works. No doubt some of them had heard the cries
of the streeta of London. A familar cry of the flower
sellers was-
