The floor of his old press room having been well taken up piece of an old door was laid down to stand on while the press was being taken out. On this a wheel of no great weight was stan~ing on it's rim, yesterday afternoon, when the old man spoke to his son, and asking him if it was not best to get wagon for the wheel The son says he turned around and saw his father and the wheel going over into the cellar the wheel running onto MT Aliens face and neck. It was seen that he was in- Jured badly. Physiciaus were called and treated him until his death, about one hour and a half later. He was apparently unconscious during the time.

He thinks that MT Allen died from the shock attending the accident. The funeral will take place from his sons residence on Hoadley street at 2 o'clock to morrow after noon.
 The warden and board of burgesses will meet tonight. It is hoped that something definite will be done soon, in the way of improvements on sidewalks.

Some think we had better commence new deal, and take up one street and finish it Our citizens wants sidewalks, as they also want sewers, and many think that it is time that something more than talk was being done to build them.
