DREADFUL CAsuALTY.-0ne of the most
shocking casualties we have ever been called
upon to chronicle, and one not to be
thought of without shndder, occurred at
the corner of Main and Battery streets. the
other day, under the following circum-
stances: One of the upper windows of a
tenement house in the location indicated
was held partially up by cold-chisel Of
some eight inches in length and Of proper
tionate size. Some one raising the window
still higher up, knocked out the chisel and
it fell on the outside, striking little child,
two and half years old. Michael Grace by
name, who stood under the window at play.
The child, hearing a noise, looked up. and
the chisel struck with the sharpened end on
his forehead, just over The right eye. its
weight and the distance it fell (26 feet)
making the blow one of tremendous force.
The skull was penetrated and the brain
oozed out the dreadful character of the
wCsnd may be better imagined than de-
scribed. Strange and almost incredible as
it NAV appear, the poor little sufferer sur
vived over week tthe accident happened
on Thursday, April 4th), death not taking
place till Saturday. The funeral was held
on Sunday.
