Brickerville News.--
Evan Sharp, son of John Sharp, butcher, fell into a 16-feet-deep cellar, that is used for hanging in meat soon after it is killed and dressed, by means of a windlass; otherwise the cellar is not used. It was at 2 o’clock the other night that Mr. Sharp was working in the shop, and it was dark as he went to the place, made a misstep and was precipitated to the ground below, striking the wall at the side falling.
He is badly bruised about the head, having his jaws broken on both sides of his face, on the one side twice, besides a very ugly gash across the forehead and other serious wounds and bruises about the head. He is in a very critical condition and only time can tell whether he will recover or not.
