of Neal's right hand was cemplvteiy knocked out of joint, and nis
left hand wrs also much puffed.

ceive the money which had been collected for him. He is once

place at Boston. A large assemblage of persons lad
convened to witness the ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of the Methodist Chapel, about to be erected its
North Bennett-street. The number of persons present
was estimated at seven or eight hundred, and during
the religious services, while Mr. Mallet was addressing
the audience, one of the principal beams of the floor
gave way, and a part of the flour sunk suddenly, and
precipitated men, women, and children, to the number
of 200, into the cellar, to the depth of fifteen feet. The
accident is attributed to the giving way of a brick
pillar. The Boston Courier gives the following me-

culated by those who were present, that about sixty
people were more or less bruised, from twenty to
twenty-five of whom were very much hurt, and three
lor four dangerously."—New York Daily Advertiser.
