SERIOUS AOCIDSNT AT THE PORTLAND
STONE COMPANY'S NEW SAW SILLS.

During the pest few months the Portland Sterile
Compeer have been erecting new 'teem maw mills
adjaesot to the Railway Station, and they were so he
advanced as to be eo•stdered nearly ready for work;
hut unfortunately on Monday sfterneou an aeMient of
a very serious natnru occurred by whist* the oompletion
will be postponed for • considerable time. It appears
that about thirty Iron met•la weighing about six tons
were being removed by one of tho "tr./kronor,," ea
they were called, the traveller used being 20 feet above
tl o road, upon which was a hot called the crab-houve
(an excel' nt anangement by which the men ate pr,
tooted from the severity of the weather); in this " crab.
house" was a " crab"—the instrument by which it is
propelled and three men were there to work It; when
at shout debt feet from the extreme end of the mills
onn of the beams on which the traveller was gave way
under the heavy wdght ; crab-house crab, beans., iroas
and met were precipitated under the pebbles beneath ;
a workman who IMO standing near seeing the traveller
giving way ran off, end consequently leasped uninjured,
the three men who were in the hut escaped by a
miracle only receiving, comparatively speaking, hut
slight injuries. Mr. Elliott, of Wyk... wag injured in
the
.beak, Mr. Puckett in the 'mole, aid Mr. Lase
receiving several heels son the head and arm. The
manager of the Company (Er. Joseph Short) at ono,
had the injured MOO attended to, and we are pleased
to hear from Dr. Carruthers that they are on • fair way
to recovery. We understand that the aoeldent was
occasioned by want of forethought on the part of the
12103, for they took the "traveller" with the six tons
of iron to that out of the "bay," where there was
another traveller with a heavy crab upon it, and there- I
lore the weight oouwentrated in one plasm was equal
to seventeen tone; this canoed the " eye" of • rod to
break, and this was followed by the downfall. The

the State Is not competent to furnish " Religious
