(From "Tho Colonist," July 19.)

A young man named Norman Miller, an apprentice at the Anchor Foundry, met with a serious accident yesterday morning. He was working n ■hand shears machine, and coming in contact with the fly wheel, was thrown to tho ground, and sustained a fracture of tho loft leg. He was attended by Dr. Bett, and afterwards removed to the hospital.

A horse attached to Messrs Pagf< and Sons' express ran away from Mr. G. Pago's residence in Hampden street yesterday morning, and Sir. Page's youngest son, Claude, 12 years of age, had a miraculous escape from serious injury. The l.id was waiting in the oxpress for his brother, when the horse moved off and the wheel touching the gate post, startled the animal, which bo.ted down the street. Young Page was thrown from the seat between the front board and the swingle tree,and remained iv this precarious position, until the express collided with a telephone post opposite the brick works, and horse, express and hoy Mere precipitated into the ditch. Tho horse freed itself from the harness, and was eventually stopped in St.' Vincent street. Young Pago was found in the* ditch with one of the shafts across his face, and his injuries were found to consist of two severe cuts in the head, and several bruises on the arms and body, while he is also suffering from shock. He was attended by Dr. Barr, and is progressing satisfactorily.
