Accidents.
♦ Yesterday a young man named George Watson was working at Messrs Dudson's mill, sliding the green flax, placed on the poles after washing, on one side, when the side timbering gave way, and caught him below the knee scraping his skin, and then falling upon his ancle, causing, naturally great pain. As it was impossible to say whether the ancle was broken or not the man wont up by the train this morning to Palmerston. Last night the Manawatu. hotel had a narrow a narrow escape from being burnt, as on Mr Cawston looking round the building, before retiring 1 , found all the clothes of a sleeper in one of the bed rooms alight. Needles 3to a>y he lost no j time in putting it ont. As the s.?. Wakatu was leaving Rutherford's wharf this afternoon she unfortunately stripped the blades of her propeller. The master has his vessel on a bank and will have new blades on tonight, thus letting the boat catch tomorrow's tide.
