Under date of July 10, a correspondent

Mr. Oscar Saunders, one of the best known
and most highly respected citizens of this
place, for many years connected with the
hardware firm of Wxlker Si Latiirop, as fore
man in their tinning department, met with an
accident to-day which was truly a providen
tial escape from sudden death." lie had pro
ceeded to the new residence of Mr. James
Iloare, now building on First street, to take
some measurements of the roof, and as he
commenced his ascent through an 'opening
about four feet square, left for the stairway,
he safely reached the third floor, when with a
short ladder lie sought to gain the roof. The
ladder slipped and lie fell back through the
opening, iiis body and shoulders striking the
edge of each opening as lie passed through.
Hr. Iloare was standing 011 the lirst floor as he
shot by him through the cellar-way to the
ground below, head tirst. When within about
three feet of the cellar bottom, his shoulders
strtck upon a plank, which was resting from
it to.the first floor, rnd rebounded some three
feet, when he fell to the bottom, having fallen
altogether a distance of some forty feet. Mr.
Iloare at once summoned aid and Mr. lliram
I'ritchard with his conveyance took him to
his residence 0:1 Third street. Dr. T. A. Mills
was summoned and found him 111 a critical
condition, insensible from the fearful shock
which he had sustained. An examination
being made it was found that no bones were
broken, and Dr. Mills stat d that his injuries
would iu all probabilities not prove fatal.
