Fatal Accident.

A little boy of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Philips on Saturday morning last was playing up stairs while the work in that part of the house was being done, fell backwards through the bannister, striking on his head some nine feet below, breaking his neck, death resulting almost instantly. His age was a little upwards of two years. On Sunday with tender hands and breaking hearts his parents gave him up to await the final wakening at the resurrection morn. In this great and unexpected calamity they have the sympathy of all.
