AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.


Harper's Young People has been called the
model of what a periodical for young people
ought to be, and the justice of this common
dation is amply sustained by the large circu-
lation it has attained both at home and in
Great Britain This success has been reached
by methods that must commend themselves to
the judgment of parents no less thar to the
tastes of children-namely, by an earnest and
well sustained effort 10 provide the best and
most attractive reading for young people at
a low price. The illustrations are copious and
of a conspicously high standard Of excellence.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Mans Skull Crushed by a Chain
Parting.

Yesterday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, while
the United States dredge was engaged in
dredging out Central Wharf DOCK a chain at
tached to the bucket parted in the weld of
the chain. Mr.. Carl Berrer, the assistant
engineer, was standing near when the break
occurred, and the upper end of the chain flew
round with tremendous force, striking Mr..
Berrer on the scull and inhicting a fracture
two and half inches in length, by one inch
in breadth.
Immediate assistance was furnished by
MIR. Both, the assistant engineer in charge,
but the unfortunate man had blood flow from
his nose, and vomited blood to quite an
amount. A hack was procured and Mr.. Ber-
rer taken to his home, No. 70 Gray ST., where
surgeons were quickly in attendance. They
trepanned the skull but inform us that it is
very precariOus case and that Mr.. Berrer has
not more than an even chance for life. Mr..
Berrer is about 40 years of age, has been con-
nected with the U. S. Engineers Office in this
city for ten or fifteen years past, is very
fine officer and is much esteemed and respect
ed He is married and has family.
Mr.. Berrer died at 2.3O o'clock this morn

The Infantry's Excursion.

The Portland Light Infantry, with their
past and honorary members, celebrated the
company's SD anniversary yesterday, by an
excursion to Long Island. The party num-
bered about fifty, and left the armory at
about o'clock for the boat headed by a
drum corps. At the island the day was
spent in the enjoyment of various sports
and a shore dinner gotten up in the best of
style. The honoraries showed that they
could play ball as well as when they marched
in the ranks, but the active members could
play just about as well, and when the game
was called at the end of the tenth inning to
make way for the shooting match, the score
stood IL to II. Private Kerr won in the
shooting match by score of 20 out of pos
sible %. The company reached home at
about 6 o'clock, and forming on the wharf
marched to the armory after successful and
pleasant anniversary.
