Misfortunes seldom come alone, and fol lowing closely upon the footsteps of the acci dent chronicled last week, we have to report another which took place last evening, at the quarry works in connection with the Harbor Board Reclamation. Although rumor had magnified the catastrophe into the blowing to atoms of two men and the severe injury of several others, while regretting that it is our duty to have to refer to the matter at all, we are happy to state that the conse quences are not so serious. It appears that shortly before knocking-offtime last evening, three blasts had been laid and slow matches applied by Eugene M'Carthy and Stephen Smith. Two of the blasts had exploded, but the third not having taken effect the men approached, imagining that the match had fallen off. When they were close to the spot an explosion was heard, and immediately M 'C'arthy felt himself struck in the leg and on the forehead. Smith's injuries appears to be of a more serious nature, being hurt about the groin. Both men were quickly brought into town, M'Carthy to the Hospital, and Smith to his own house, where medical as sistance was at once procured. Upon inquiry at the Hospital this morning, we were pleased to learn that M'Carthy's injuries were very slight, being merely a scratch on the fore head and a sprained ankle, from the effcts of which he id expected to be all light in a day or two.
