A man named George Martin, while at
work at the Isabells wells, McCra y farm,
yesterday afternoon, met with quite su
cldent, which came near resulting fatally.
1t appears he was assisting Mr.. Baker, the
engineer at the we'll, in making gas con,
nections. Mr.. Martin had inserted stick
in the end OF the pipe and was holding 1t
up while Mr.. Baker was unscrewing 1t with
the gas tongs, when the stick slipped out
and the heavy pipe came down striking him
squarely in tho forehead, knocking him
down and innicting severe wound. The
blow rendered him nsensible for some time.
He was taken into the engine house and On
application Of cold water revived him. Had
the pipe came down little beaver un-
doubtedly he would have been killed.

but the superior size and power Of. their
adversaries drove them to take refuge in

the black fish, in their heAd'ong flight, ran
on the shoals and the rsceding tide left
