LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
A serious accident occurred on Sunday evening between this and Sumner. One of the men engaged on the road, returning to Sumner by the mountain path, being benighted sought the lower track, when missing his footing he fell over the precipice, where it is supposed he lay long insensible. Next morning he managed to crawl to the house of Mr. Day. Upon medical examination besides numerous bruises and a scalp wound laying bare the bones of the skull, he was found to have several ribs broken with penetration of the lungs on the right side.
