Mr. John Roberts, of the town of Linden, was killed on Thursday last by the falling of a rock in a mineral shaft. Mr. Roberts was at work in the shaft, upon his knees, when a rock of several hundred weight, about two feet above his head, gave way, crushing his head so badly that he died in a few moments after he was taken out. He was about forty years of age and leaves a wife and two children.
