An accident, which will incapacitate him for duty for .sometime, befel Mr H. H. Adams of the Waiorongomai battery on Saturday last. While riding to Paeroa his horse blipped and fell on one of the wooden bridges in the Rotokohu gorge, bringing its rider heavily to the ground aud causing a clean fracture of one of his arms between the wrtotand the elbow. He was also roughly shaken othens i^e but wab able to ude back to Waiorongomai, where he was attended to by Dr Cooper, under whosej care he is making fair progress towards recovery. The bridge in the locality <»f the accident seems to be especially dangerous to hoi .semen as several occunences of the kind have happened on them, by one of which a young man nanr.ed Davis lost his life on Chri.stmas Day over two years ago.
