HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.—We learn that as some men were engaged in blasting rocks at Millstone Point, last Monday, an accident occurred, killing Mr. Frazier, of the firm of Bealy & Frazier, instantly. It appears Mr. F. was superintending the operations, and was standing at the time about thirty yards from the rock which they were blasting, when a large piece of the rock fell and struck him in such a manner as to sever his left arm from his body, tearing his heart out, and cutting it in pieces. Mr. Frazier was extensively known as a stone-cutter, and was largely engaged in the quarry business. He was highly respected by all who knew him, and his loss will be deeply felt in the community in which he lived.
