TERRIBLE BUSH ACCIDENT.
A labourer, named Peter Johnstone, was admitted to the Hamilton Hospital (Victoria) on the 13th instant, suffering from fearful injuries to his legs, caused by burning. The man was camping in the bush near Brimbool, where he had been working, and while sitting by the fire he by some means fell in. He was lying there for over two days before he was discovered by a bullock-driver, when he was at once removed to Casterton, where his wounds were attended to, and the man was then sent on to Hamilton Hospital. The right leg will have to be amputated.
