the day previous, and the stables are supposed to befree from vermin.—Globe.Horrible Dearth.—On Saturday an accident, by which a young man named Henry Ford lost his life, occurred at the St. Pancras steam mills, Old St. Pancras-road. It appears that the deceased, having returned from dinner, went into one of the sheds where an immense circular saw, driven by steam power, is used for the purpose of cutting large logs of timber. The object the deceased had in going in cannot be ascertained, but whilst he was in the machinery was set in motion, and he was caught in the shoulders by the teeth of the saw. He shrieked out, but before the machine waa stopped the whole of the upper part of his body was nearly sawn through. On being brought out from the shed life was gone, the body presenting a most frightful spectacle. It was removed to St. Pancras workhouse, where it awaits an inquest.
