a terrible accident occurred at the
sand bed on the premises OF Y. p.
Munson, a short distance south oil
Manchester, BY which Mr.. George
Sornberger of Factory Point, was IN
stantly killed. From this bed the
several marble mills in that vicinity
obtain their supply of sand, and those
engaged in drawing it have, duriag
the past few weeks allowed the sur
face or frozen crust to remain undis-
turbed, and had undermined a distance
of several feet, apprehending no dan
ger of its giving away, owing to the
great depth of the frost. But on Fri
day. while Mr.. Sornberger and his son
were engaged in loading their teams
from the pit, the son heard report
overhead which he feared might be
occasioned by the giving away OF the
surface, and Immediately gave the
alarm and sprang from under it, bare
ly escaping the falling debris. But
the alarm was too late for the father.
he was struck upon the head by a
piece of the falling and frozen earth,
estimated to weigh ton, and crushed
beneath it. His nee, back, shoulder.
one arm and leg were broken. He
was sixty-four years of age, and leaves
