NAV IA j. S. Parmeter met with sad acci
dent last Friday. In removing charge from
a rock, after the tamping and part of the
powder had been spooned out, he thought TO
| facilitate the process by means of fuse.
Somehow spark of fire instantly commune
Gated with the powder, causing an explosion.
before Mr.. Parmeter had time to arise from
the position in which he lighted the match, so
that he received the charge in his face. He
was assisted home, and the blood and powder
cleansed as much as possible from his face,
which was badly mutilated, there be-
ing a cash upon his left cheek, his eyes
swollen to twice, their natural size, and
the skin filled with powder, and the
blood seemed oozing from every pore.
1t was at first thought that his eyes were
destroyed. Messengers were despatched for
Drs. Delaney of Palermo, Perkins of South
China, and Nelson of Weeks Mlls.--Dr.
Nelson arrived first and removed the powder
and piece of rock from his eyes. which were
highly inhamed and very painful. The sight
is unimpaired.- is a source of deep regret
