NELSON.
Yesterday, Several accidents were reported yesterday;— Whilst engaged in removing a house in Bridge-street, a man named Harry Bluff had one of his legs broken.— A lad at Brightwater sustained serious injuries from the kick of a horse.—A few days ago Mr Alfred Baigent, son of Mr Baigent, formerly M.H.B. for Waimea, fell down stairs and injured his spine : his death has not resulted.—A man named Williams, while working a circular saw on Mr Cross's wharf, had his, left hand drawn in, and his thumb almost severed.
* Whilst the steamer Charles Edward was lying at Westport, a charge of dynamite was fired in the river close to the vessel for the purpose of blowing up a snag. The steamer was much shaken by the force of the explosion, but it was not thought any damage had been sustained. On her passage to Nelson she made two feet of water in her hold, and it is supposed that some of the rivets must have been started. She goes on the slip before again proceeding to sea. ■
