a shockine ACCIDENT.


BIDDEFoRD, Sept 2S.-A shocking acci-
dent occurred ON Hill street this morning.
Mrs Terence Doores, whose husband is en-
pleyed in the Laconia mills, left her eleven
months old son in the cradle near the
kitchen stove and went up stairs to attend to
the wants of a sick woman. She had but
left the room when by some means the stove,
one leg of which had dropped from its place,
fell to the floor. carrying with it a boiler full
of hot water and clothes. Some of the water
fell into the cradle and upon the child, but
most of the contents Of the boiler was
spilled upon the floor within a few feet OF
the child's head. When the mother entered
the room the sight which met her eye was
almost indiscribable. The floor was flooded
with hot water, and the steam and smoke
arising from that and the stove filled the
room. The child was so badly scalded
about the face and neck that the flesh came
off in several places. Whether it will re-
cover, time alone will prove, but as it is an
unusually healthy child and the injuries are
confined to but small portion of the body,
the chances are considered in its favor. That
the child did not meet with instant death is
one of the greatest wonders imaginable.
Fair Postponed.

the York County Fair has been postponed
until the first fair day. The hall exhibition
