A very painfnl accident waa sustained this morning to a man named Denis Hogan, while engaged in the Corporation quarry, near the Wellington College. It appears that about 8 o'olook the foreman of the gang exploded a charge of powder in the faoe of the hill, with the result that a large quantity of stuff was brought down. The shot also loosened a quantity of rook, but of this fact none of tho men were cognizant until after the accident ocourred. At the time of the mishap, Hogan was engaged in breaking metal in the bottom of the quarry. The stuff lessened by the charge came away almost without warning, and the men were obliged to fly for their lives. Hogan, in making his escape, struck his leg against a large stone lying in his road, and broke the limb. He was conveyed to the Hospital in an express, and it is expeoted that ho will be obliged to remain in the institution for some weeks. It ia estimated that about 100 tons of stuff desoended at the time of the aooident. The Dumb Speak. — Mr. James R. Hatcher, a respected citizen of Clair View, Inverell, N.S. Wales, Australia, gives the following foots, in a statement to the Daily Telegraph, of Sydney:— l am a poor man, with eight ohildren, and I wish to tell you of my daughter, thirteen years of age. She retired one night, about four months ago, in her usual good health, but the next morning she oould not speak. The doctor prescribed, and finally said he hod no hope of her ever being able to speak again. Three months after she had been taken ill we used St. Jacobs Oil — the great poin-oure. I had need it myself for aoiatioa, with good results. Next morning we were delighted to find that, after the one application of the night before, she oould talk as well as ever, and has been able to do so ever since. We beg to acquaint you with this marvellous oure.
