SINGULAR esterdsy morning
one OF the most remarkable accidents oe-
CURED which has ever taken place In this
city. Yesterday was the grand fete day in the
Roman Catholic Church, aud the two main
towers OF the French Cathedral were decora.
ted with flags. One Of them being a lengthy
psnnant, and the wind being occasionally high.
the small extreme point of it got warned am
ly around the peak Of one Of the turre,s In
this state II remained for several hours. the
wind keeping the flag tugging at the turret
all the while. Atlength, abou. 10 o'clock, the
topstone Of the turret, weighing 1873 z pounds
and SO inches in length in the shape OF a su.
gar loaf, gave way, sld was precipitated from
the top of the tower, a height Of $50 feet
coming down among the crowd that was gath
cred At the time in front Of the Cathedral.
The remarkable point in the accident is
that the stone fell among the people without
killing any ons, and all the mischief it wrought
was smashing lads foot. Tho accident, az
far as he wss concerned was Of course, Sc
vere enough; but it might have been much
more serious. The lad is q respectable young
man, an Irish lad, we believe, of the name Of
Mcclure. He took cab and drove off at
once for surgical aid. He fell into the expe-
riencei hands Of DR. Melton. and we believe
he is doing we'll. Three of tho tols arc COM
pletely cf, and II is feared the big toe will al
so have to be cut away. One Of his legs wac
also considerably grazed Montreal PLot.

~ ANCIENT FRoG.-James Crabtree,
pt-sinker to Messrs. Ackroyd, Of Burkln-
shaw Bottom in sinking a pit in Morley,
near Leeds, recently found a live frog in
the centre OF large coal, two hundred and
thirty feet below the surface, considerably
below tho Morley tunnel, to which it is
close adjoining. The frog is still very
lively. When found it was very dark in
color, but is becoming like the common
every day species. The eyes are very
bright, and surrounded with gold ring
1t has four claws on its fore feet, and five
(web.footed) on the hind feet. Its mouth
is closed, or firmly shut, but it has two
vents, apparently nostrils, on the top of its
nose. The seam OF coal from which it
was disinterred was saturated with water,
and probably from this circumstanc COM
bined with close confinement, it had been
enabled to sustain its halftorpid life through
countless ages.--Leeds (Eng.) Mercury.

He states that they are treated with great
consideration by the officers of the Rus
sian army. He states further that he
witnessed the assault on Sevastopol, which
resulted in the taking Of the Southern por-
ton and the retreat of two hundred thou
sand Russians across the bridge, to the
Northern side, which, from what he states,
attended as it was by the confagration of
Sevasiopol, the explosion OF mines. .hurrying
thousands into eternity, and the sinking OF
the navy, was a scene too iearfully tragic
to be depicted in language.-Baltimore
