Shocking Accident. - On Wednesday afternoon last, as a Country-man was coming down the Gallowgate, he was met, at the corner forming the entry to the Broad Street, by a cart loaded with timber; when, slipping his foot on the pavement, he unfortunately fell before the cart, one of the wheels of which passing over his head, fractured his skull in a shocking manner, so that he almost immediately expired. The unfortunate sufferer was a man of the name of Alexander Crocket, well known for many years as a Carrier from Nether Banchory, and has left a Widow to lament his loss.
