Bushfelling Accidents.
(From our Birmingham correspondent.) An accident happened to George Grange, while bushfelling at Apiti, which was nearly having a fatal termination. While running from the trees Grange got caught by the topmost branches and forced to the earth. The tree falling on strong scrub saved biro. He is hurt internally, and outwardly shows every sign of haying been badly knocked about. It will be some time before his health is what it was. Another accident happened to a young man named Davy, who, while bushfelling at Orepiti, in the Coal Creek Block, cut his foot very badly with an axe. He is now recovering.
