It aPpears that Mr. Pryce is, coaching a Party of boys fpr the forthcoming annual SuPper to the Ocean door-boys, and in- tended holding; a, practice at the schools the evening in question. He was in be act of turning the gas on at the' meter, and held a lighted match in one hand, yben suddenly those in the school heard a i>0Port, and saw a hurst of flame, and upon &oing forward to; the spot, found that Mr. fryce had been badly burned about the bead and hand. He was immediately ported by Messrs. Michael, H. T. f^aiis, and J. Devonald to the house of h's. Davies (printer), and medical assist- sought. Meanwhile Mrs. Davies at- tended to the injuries, and skillfully ap- plied ^l|eviating remedies, and upon the appearance of Dr. Armstrong, this treat- was continued. Naturally, Mr. ryce; suffered excruciating pain, and was pliable to slegp that night. He was de^ twined at Mrs- Davies's house for the fight. and kindly attended to by her and His friends. ('. "Pryce Bach," as he is affectionately hHed. is very popular in the nqjghbour- 1 °°d for his pleasant, affable and kind- parted disposition, and his misfortune is le source of numerous expressions of Apathy and hearty wishes for an early nd complete recovery. m
