Fortunately, ho managed to catch hold of a beam on tho second story, and hold on thero until he was rescued from his perilous position by Mr Anderson, tho foreman, and some of his comrades. iJr. Tennent, who was called to attend on him, found that his nose was broken, that the skin had been torn oil' his arm from tho elbow to tho wrist, and that several serious abrasions on the body had been caused. The injuries were dressed by Dr. Torment, and the man was taken to his home in Victoria-street.
