A SAD ACCIDENT--On Monday last, at about six o'clock p.m., little George Fuller, who was playing with other boys on the frame of the wind mill on the town pump, on Market street, fell down several feet on to the plank platform, breaking his skull. Prompt assistance was rendered by several of our physicians, but death ensued in a few hours.

The little boy, George Edwin, was the youngest son of Wm. T. and Mary E. Fuller of this place, aged 5 years and 4 months.

This is an unusually said case, and awakens the sympathy of the whole community. The father is dying with comsumption, and the mother, worn and weakened by constant attention at his bedside, is dangerously prostrated by the terrible death of their little boy.
