Accident.

On Monday afternoon an old man named Hamilton McLeod while digging in the cellar at the rear part of Butchart's new building, had his leg broken near the ankle by a small portion of the earth caving in. Drs. McCulloch and Denhart set the injured limb; but it will be some time before he will be able to be around again, two bones being broken. He comes from near Markdale, and was depending on his daily earnings. We understand that Mr. R. P. Butchart has generously offered to pay necessary attendance and board till the man is well again; but we think it time that a House of Refuge was built by the County, where needy persons could be provided for at the public expens.--[O.
