A fatal fall.

--Mr David Collins, a brick layer, residing in Salem. N. C., fell from the scaffolding of a chimaty he was engaged in erecting a short distance from town on Tuesday last, and was almost instantly killed. He had nearly finished the work when he fell, his head striking a stone or other hard substance, and fracturing his skull in such a manner that he died in fifteen minutes.
