SINGULAR ACCIDENT.--DUTing the heavy gale
which was last week attended with such fatal results to life
at sea an character of somewhat different, but
and property ,
character occurred scarcely less alarming , on shore, in the
town of Retford. A troupe of horse riders and acrobats,
travelling under the designation of " Macarte's American
Circus," had literally pitched their tent on the Spa common,
and the ev3ning performances were very largely attended.
In the midst of the entertainment, while the wind was fu-
riously blowing, it was found that the upright pole in the
centre of the tent, weighing it was said upwards of half a
ton, was giving way. An attempt was made to right it by
slackening the guard-ropes staked down to the earth on
the outside, but before this could be done the tent gave way,
and pole, canvas, ropes and all, fell in upon the audience, ex-
tinguishing the temporary gaslights, and producing a scene
of indescribable confusion. Most of those within were felled
flat to the ground ; many received serious bruises and
wounds; some crept away with loss of hats, shoes, shawls,
bonnets, and handkerchiefs ; and the most fortunate were
covered with mud and dirt by their close contact with
mother earth. Of course this contretemps closed the perfor-
mances. It was remarkable that the fall of the pole did
not maim or kill many of the hundreds present. As it was,
a young man named Joseph Merrills, of Ordsalk was taken
up for dead, and his life for some days
,was in extreme
jeopardy.
