New-York, January 4. . . [1 paragraph] Dec. 7.  On Monday
last the 28th of December, one John Abrahams, a carpenter,
who was at work on the play-house, going out on the shed
over the dressing-room, in order to hang a window, his foot
slip'd and he fell above 28 feet into the yard, whereby his
thigh, hip, arm, shoulder and other bones were broken, and
he was otherwise terribly bruised.  He had the best
assistance, but the bones could not be set---He languish'd
till the Sunday night following and then died.
