Saturday 24 May 1845 (p. 2, col. 8) ACCIDENT.-An accident that might have been attended with very fatal consequences happened at Mr. KIRKHAUGH's limestone quarries, on Parsonby-brow, a week or two ago. An individual of the name of SMITH having fixed a blast waited impatiently for its explosion. Thinking that it was not going to take effect, with great temerity he went to examine the cause; just as he was stooping down the blast exploded and cut him severely about the head, and he was taken up for dead. Though dreadfully cut about the face, and his eyes almost blown out, his wounds did not prove mortal, and he is now convalescent under the treatment of Dr. MITCHELL, of Bothel. ROYAL SCOTS GREYS.-The detachment of this distinguished regiment, at present stationed here, had a field-day on the green on Monday last, during which Lieutenant CARRUTHERS had nearly met with a fatal accident by his charger rearing and falling upon him. Serjeant MILLS, perceiving the accident, threw himself from his horse, and seizing the animal by the reins extricated the officer (whose foot was entangled in the stirrup) from his very perilous situation.-The Serjeant, we understand, is the same individual who, on Saturday last, at considerable personal risk, rescued a boy about 14 years of age, who had been knocked down by a vehicle in Buchanan-street.-Glasgow Citizen.-[Serjeant MILLS, is son of Mr. N. MILLS, Superintendent of Excise, of this city.]
