Yesterday morning while slater was
engaged in a stating operations on Mr..
Vernon Ellis house, on Union street, he
gathered up q number of pieces of slate,
and, calling for any person below to stand
ont of dangers path, threw them from the
house top. A little daughter of Mr.. Ellis
was at play in tho yard below, and she
was struck by pieces of the falling slate.
One of them produced a wound on the
back of her head fully four inches in
length, and she also received other wounds
on the face and arms. How the little one
escaped death seems miraculous, as the
slate fell from quite height. The phys
clan attending her believes that she will
recover from her injuries with careful
nursing.
