To those gentlemen who have tendered us their sympathy on account of the accident that prevented us issuing a full paper yesterday morninug, we tender our sincerest thanks. And tt> our numerous readers all over the district who have not complained of the disappointment they must have felt on being deprived of their full batch of morning news, we also express our appreciation of their forbearance, but to those advertisers whose business announcements missed seeing tlfc light for the space of one rainy day, viz., Mrs. Batten, Messrs, P. H. Graham, C. Natusch, J. Gi. Cox, J. P. Ward, Eure and Ambridge, W. J. Sykes, C. Ferris, C. J. Piesse, H. Adair, W. Pettie and Co., It. Robertson, R. Hannah and Co., Adair Bros., and the London Dental Institute, we owe an obligation which we shall endeavor tQ compensate, J'hc accident, like

nil other nocidouts, was not easily forosoen, and resulted in tlio last forme, that is the lookod up typo, falling to pieces on its way down the lift from tlio lino, room 011 tlio top storoy to tlio maehino room immediately below. It occurred when all the men hut two had left for a wellearned sleep, and there was no possibility of collecting tlio fragments, or re-sotting tlio typo in time to catch train or mails, for tlio metal pots had cooled down, tlio operators would have to he collected out ol tlioir beds, so tlio only foasiblo thing to ho done was done. To-day, however, thanks to a willing staff, the extra work entailed by tlio accident has been pulled up, and there is not much likelihood of a recurrence of a similar experience.
