\ FRIGHrFC1 ACCInEST.-Thc tele-
graph has already announced the killing
Of Edward Lynch. colored man, by the
bursting of grindstone, Mt Springfield,
Ohio, ON the 18th inst. The stone was
new one, had been put up that morning
and was running Mt very high rate OF
speed. The hystlnders think the iron
which Lccch was polishing fell under the
stone and fractured it, as an unusual noise
was observed for minute. followed by a
tremendous explosion. which threw Leach
ten feet from the stone. and on the other
side of a bench which stood close by. His
face was completely torn out, and nothing
hu, the back of the head left his
brains flying in every direction. An ac-
cident leaving more CHASTITY spectacle
never occurred in Springfield. The wheel
flew into number Of pieces, and the iron
clamps holding it were broken up. One
piece of the stone stuck the wall close by
making large indentation, and falling
back lodged by the side of Leach's lifeless
body
