FATAL ACoIDENT.-We are panied
to record the sad accident, which
has since been attended with fatal
result, that occurred on the fair
grounds to little Annie Clear, daugh-
ter of James Clear Of this town.
During the afternoon Of the last day
Of the fair wind mill that had been
set up for exhibition, the agent very
careessly neglecting to brace it prop
erly, fell 10 the ground. In the de-
scent one of the arms of the fan
struck the little girl upon the head
with such force that part of the
skull as large as five cent paper cur
rency note was depressed near three
fourths of an inch, and causing a
comminnuted fracture, severely lac
Grating the brain and causing loss
of at least 2 ounces Of the brain
Portions Of the skull were driven Ii
inches into the brain. The opera
ton of trephining aud removing
parts Of the skull in order to replace
the depressed parts was performed
by DR.. Clarke. The unfortunate lit
le girl lived with all her suffering
until Sunday evening. The SYM
pathy of many friends join with the
mourning parents in the sad and
early loss.
