sER,ous ACCIDENT.

The fiy-whsei attached 10 the largest en-.
gins in the Monsvur Rolling Mill at this
place, weighing sbou, 0s tons, suddenly
broke, early on Monday morning last, while
going a, the rate Of about 80 revolutions per
minute, throwing the segmen,s weighing
about two and half tons each with violent
force through the roof Of the building. The
crash was tremendous. We are happy to
state, however, that but ono person was
slightly injured, although there was large
number Of hands in the mill at The time
The accident was occasoned BY some villain
in human shape throwing piece Of iron,
two inches in length, between The cogs Of
the main driving wheel and the spur wheel,
which by the sudden check it occasioned In
the machinery, caused the segmen,s of the
fy-wheel.lo 10 tear from their fastnngs with
violent force The scounjrel who could
thus wantonly sndanger the lives of hun.
dreds Of his fellow men, is worse Than the
midnight assassin, and We trust that every
good citizen will assist in ferretng him out,
in order to bring him to condign punishment.
The damage occasioned is but trifling in
comparison to the many exaggerated flying
reports. The workmen are already busily
engaged 10 make the necessary repairs with
out momcn,'s delay, and it will be but
shoI, time until the mill be again in full op-
eration.-Danuille Democrat, lith inst.
