ALMOST A FATAL AcCIDENT.-l4ast
Tuesday afternoon little four-year old
son of Stephen Williams came near meet
ing with fatal accident. 1t seems that
some parties were engaged in hauling
some heavy timbcrs upon a wagon, and
had backed the wagon into gutter in
front of the house. While standing
in this position, unnoticed by any of tie
several men standing around, the iitrle
fellow climbed OH the front wheel of the
wagon. Just at this moment the team
was started up, and one Of the wheels
passed over him about midway OF
his body. He was taken into the house
and medical assistance summoned. 1t
was found that with the exception of a
broken rib and some severe bruises, the
little fellow was not badly injured, and
at last accounts he was doing well, with a
fair prospect for recovery. The only
wonder is that he was not instantly
killed.

A SAD overwhelmingly afternoon
the infant son of Asa Spencer, Esq, died
at the residence of Alex. Mckay in Dun
can. The little one was eleven months
old. What makes this event more than
ordinarily sad, is that the mother is away
east on visit. She was made acquainted
with the death of her babe by telegraph,
but of course could not reach here in
time for the funeral. Therefore the SER
vices had to be solemnized, and the re-
mains placed in the grave without the
presence of the mother.

In opposition to the course of the

should be some legislative mea-
sure adopted to put stop to the
dangerous voyages in which aero

the purpose of making money and
notoriety.
Our State Legislatures, some ses-
sions since, impressed by the APP
palling disasters to width trapeze
performers were continually ex-
posed while no effectual expedient
for Their protection was employd,
passed a stringent law requiring
a net to be stretched between them
and the ground during the execu-
ton of their perilous feats. The
law, though often evaded by self
confident gymnasts, who intimate
that the subjacent net embarrasses
them in their performances, has
beyond all question been instru-
mental In preventing 4 large num-
Der of fearful accidents, which
would without its employment
have happened to female perfor-
mers and to children whose feats
were of a more than commonly
hazardous character and executed
at unusual elevation. AS no legisla-
tive provision for securing safety
to balloonists could be adopted or
character similar to that devised
for protecting trapezists, aerial
navigation for mere speculation
and popular amusement should be
prohibited.
