The community was shocked on Friday afternoon at learning of the nud accident that had happened to Mr. J. H. Hines, at Laird’s plaining mill. It seems that Mr.Hines was in charge cf the large circular saw, which was running at full speed, and had occasion to stoop under it to ad just a loose bolt. On rising he tripped ‘ and fell with the front of his X\ C J?.£ against the saw which instantly lar- eerated his face, nose and forehead terribly. A piece of his right frontal bone was sliced entirely away, expo-; slug the brains. Fortunately bis: head struck the saw at ici angle, or death must have been his immediate’ fate. He was carried at once to hi* home, and soon had tbo attention of Dr. Wyniau. Since the accident he has been doing reasonably well and we are glad to learc bids fair,to make a good recovery.

The engineers employed by the pro moters of the Nicargua Canal project have completed the series of exhaus tive a/jol accurate surveys. An abstract of their work with the total estimated cost has been published. The distance from Greytown to Brito is 169 miles which is practically the the same as previous reports made it. But while the former survej-s called for nearly forty miles of excavation the recent survey reduces it to thirty miles, or, to be accurate, 29. 9 miles, and ex tends the estimate of free navigation from 130 to 139.9 miles—making the total of 1G9. 8 miles from sea to sea. The number of locks has been reduced to five, and the estimates for the work ft-om |65,000,000 to 160,000,000. The merit of this project is that it is purely an American one, and, as it will probably be rGtftembered, was etronly advocated by Admiral Am- meu and Mr. Meuocal at tlie Paris Congress, but rejected by the Leeaepsr Wise party jn lavor of Panama. The very objections raised by the Ameri can delegates to the Panama route and the immense cost of constructing a ship canal through that part of tlie isthmus have been justified by the event. The promoters of the {Nicaragua Canal expect to build that work at less than one-tenth the cost of that at Panama. Their confidence m making the undertaking a final success is proved bv the fact that they ask no appropriations from Congress norany guarantee of tin ir bonds. AJ1 that they want from Congress is simply a charter givin themg a standing in the market. A bill to that effect passed the Senate unanimously lust Febru ary, aud is now before the House of Representatives. H CAROLINA MILITARY academy.
