Mr.. VIM. +. Griffith, merchant of
Newark. Delaware, met with a serious ac-
cident on Monday last. He was standing
on ladder cleaning the snow ont of a
gutter, when the lower feet of the lad
der slipped, and he fell striking upon lis
head. The distance be fell was only ten
feet, but he is heavy man and the force of
the concussion was great. When aid reached
him he was insensible and blood was iSsu-
ing from his ears. The physician at first
thought his skull was fractured, and that it
would prove fatal case, bnt he was still alive
when last heard from and it is to be hoped
he may recover. The many friends and
acouaintances of Mr.. Griffith here will hear
of his mishap with sorrow.

day reached Their destination, and it is

it does the money order, they are simply

buying them suffers They are not rne hit
safer than a hank note for sending rhrough
the mails, but hey are convenient when The
