FATAL ACCIDENT -- On Monday last, says the Nevada 'Journal,' a man named William RICHARDS, at Gold Flat, while carrying a heavy load of lumber upon his back, stumbled and fell. The lumber fell upon him compressing the spine at the back of the neck, and causing instant paralysis from the neck down. He died on Friday. Previous to his death he presented the rare instance of a man to all appearance dead with the exception of the head, and yet retaining the full possession of his mental faculties.
