Fly Causes an Accident.
While Mr. William Hine, Penclaves ' Street, Nov; Plymouth, was seated in front of a mirror on Sunday in the act of shaving, a fly settled on tb(? end of his nos-e. The irritation caused him involuntarily to attempt to brush it off, and, the razor being in his hand, he severed portion of the cartilage between the nostrils, unfortunately cutting through two small arteries at the same time. Dr. H. P. Gray was summoned and immediately stopped the flow of blood, which otherwise might have had grave consequences.
