SINGULAR ACCIDENT AND NARROW
EiCAPE.—On Saturday forenoon, while a gentleman was riding
along Nicolson-street, his horse took fright and ran off at full
speed. In Clark street the animal came in contact with a
miller's cart loaded with sacks of flour, and was killed on the
spot. The shock unseated the gentleman, who fortunately was
thrown into the cart, upon the top of the flour sacks, and es-
caped quite uninjured.—Elgin Courier.
CASTING PLATE• GLASS.—Blancourt, in his

" Art de la Verrerie," relates as the mode in which the casting
of plates of glass was discovered, that a person who was melting
some of this material in a crucible accidentally spilt it, while
fluid, upon the ground. The metal ran under one of the large
flagstones wherewith the place was paved, which obliged the
workman to take up the stone, in order to recover the glass,
He found it in the form of a plate, such as could not be pro-
duced by the ordinary process of blowing. The man's attention
being roused by this fact, he was unable to sleep ; and conceiv-
ing at once the superiority of this method for forming mirrors,
he immediately commenced experimenting, and, before the
day appeared, had proved the practicability of the improve-
ment which the purest chance had thus placed within the
sphere of his observation. This occurrence is said to have
arisen two hundred years before it was related by Blancourt,
whose treatise is dated in ICOR—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cy-
eloprdia, l 01. XXVI, Treatise on Me Manufacture of Porce-
lain and Glass,
