GROUSE SHOOTING.

The season, on Deeside, promises to be a very fa-
vourable one for sportsmen. In Braemar, the grouse are
more abundant than was expected from the severity of
the earl• part of the season. On the 12th, the party of
Lord Elcho and the ion. H. Coventry bagged, on the of Monaltrie and Muirs of Gairnsheil, belonging.
to Invercauld, 244 h brace of grouse, of which Lord
Elcho shot 901 brace. His Lordship's bag would bare
been larger, but he was obliged to give up shooting at
an early hour, on account of his keeper having been
taken ill on the hill. In the Forest of Birse, Mr. Robert-
son, of Foveran, bagged, on the 12th, 54h brace and 2
hares; on the 13th, 52/ brace, 5 hares, and 1 wild duck;
on the 14th, 27 brace and 2 hares; on 16th, 19h brace
and 4 hares; on 17th, 191 brace and 2 hares. Mr.
George Gordon, Nethermuir, killed, on the 12th, 35
brace and 7 hares; on 13th, 18 brace; and up to the end
of the week, 42} brace, besides hares. We hear that
one of the party at Finzan had 45 brace on the first day,
on the commonty. Lord Elcho, the Hon. H. Coventry,
Mr. Coventry, and Henry Dundas, E•q., continue to
have excellent sport at Gairnsheil. Lord Eicho and the
Hon. Mr. Coventry have had, on an average, about 50
brace a day. At the Cairtidavon shootings, whero
are Captain Leylands and family, H. L. Lumley, Esq.,
R. H. Lane, Esq., and Brock, Esq., there are great
appearances of grouse and red diet, but there are no
accounts of the success of the party. At Lsgganauld,
Lord H. Bentinck killed 3 stags before the 12th, and Sir
Richard Sutton had excellent sport, fishing. On the
12th, Lord 11. Bentinck had 54 brace of grouse; Sir R.
Sutton, 64 brace; and Mr. King, 53 brace. Average
since then, 55 brace per day. At Morven Lodge, C. M.
Christie, Esq., of Durie, and Captain N. Christie, have
hal excellent sport. Grouse more plentiful than usual.
The Glenmuick shootings, belonging to Invercauld, have
been taken by F. R. Alagennis, Esq., and H. D. Drum-
mond, Esq. The party arrived on Saturday last, and
on Monday, being very rainy, nothing was done, At
Glendye, Sir James Carnegie, Bart., killed 63 brace on
the 12th; Sir James G. Baird, 301 brace; and Captain
Carnegie, 39} brace. The accounts of the success of
sporting parties on the Deeside moors have hitherto
gone ahead of those noted from almost every other
quarter; and there is, therefore, little doubt that his
Royal Highness Prince Albert will enjoy excellent sport
on the Balmoral and Abergeldie grounds when he ar-
rives.—Aberdeen Journal.
FALL .OF

THE BRICKLAYERS'

ARMS RAILWAY STATION.
This unfortunate accident, although of a very serious
nature, has not been productive of so much mischief as
was at first anticipated, little or no damage being done
except to the root itself, and three of the pillars that
supp rued it. The portion of the station which has fallen
comprises two roofs, pointed at the top and covering the
permanent way to a distance of 400 feet. The external
covering of these roofs was of deal planks, slated over
and resting upon beams formed of a bar of fir, bolted
between two lamium of iron. This kind of beam was
used fir the double purpose of insuring strength and
elasticity, and to stable the boarding of the rot f to be
nailed firmly down. The base of the cone formed by
these beams was spanned by jointed lanairte of iron,
from which rose iron bars, affording support to the roof.
The beams were placed along the roots at intervals of
about f ;lir feet, and their ends rested upon cast-iron
supports running along iron pillars, about twelve feet
high and eight inches thick. This row of pillars formed
a central support, on which the two roofs rested, the
other ends or the beams resting upon the supports of
the sheds at each side of the station. The accident
wus caused by a carriage which was being moved
round on the turn table striking aainst the
last pillar of the central row. This instantly
snapped, as also did two others, upon which a groat
weight was thus suddenly thrown, and a great portion of
both roofs being thus unsupport,A, the whole fabric was
torn away from the bolts by its own weight, and fell
with a tremendous noise. When the fall occurred there
was a long train of first and second-class carriages under
the sheds, at.d it has been stated by some of the morn-
ing journals that had these been filled with passergers
the sacrifice of life must have been awful. It appears,
however, that the iron-work of the roofs fell on these
carriages and bent themselves over them, without break-
ing a single window or damaging any of them in the
slighest degree. To this fact is owing the preservation
of the three porters at work near the carriages. The
unfortunate man who was killed, on hearing the fall of
the pillars at the lower end of the shed, a'tempted to es-
cape into the station, but was knocked down by the fal-
ling materials, and suffocated by one of toe supports
falling across his neck. Oe the three men tak ,n to Guy's
Hospital only one (Watson) was found to los seriously
injured, he having his leg broken. The (tiler two es-
caped with some severe bruises,and were sufficiently well
to leave the hospital yesterday afternoon. The iron
pillars along the centre, with the exception of the three
which broke, are still standing, and the cast-iron sup-
porters along their tops are still entire. An inquest will
'be held on the deceased man to-day (Friday).
