Collapse of a Wall.
NEWSPAPER OFFICE DAMAGED. WESTPORT, March 18. At a quarter past eight this morning, the brick wall of a building in course of erection in Palrnerston street, Wentport, 19 feet high, collapsed and smashed in almost the complete length of one side of the Westport "Times" office—a wooden building. Several of the compositors had a narrow escape from serious accident. Although some of the machinery was covered .by falling bricks, none: of it appeared to be damaged. It was raining heavily at the time of the accident, to which the builders attributed the new mortar running.
