SINGULAR ACCIDENTAL Russels Dig
gings near Volcano, singular accident oc-
Cured on Thursday last, of which the Ledger
gives the subjoined particulars:
Near the top of the hill, some parties were
engaged saving. A log, six feet long and
struck the upper side of Mr. Conlters house,
broke its way through, and lodged in the
chimney corner. In the house were Mrs.
Coulter and little daughter of Mr.. Darnell.
The log rolled over the feet and legs Of Mrs.
c., and over the entire body of the little girl.
The former was not seriously injured; but the
latter suffered a slight fracture of the skull
over the left eye. We are glad to lean n,
however, that it is the opinion of Drs. Mun' k
ton and Boucher, who were called, that she
will recover.
