The Palmerston Times records two pain ful accidents. On Thursday last, a child only six years of age, named A. Anderson, whilst riding on a railway truck, fell off, and one of the wheels passed over his thumb, completely crushing it. The next day, Siren Neilsen, of Stoncy Creek, while felling bush on his own land, had his leg badly crushed by a falling tree. Dr. Alters, who we are glad to find has nearly recovered from his severe illness, was in both instances n immediate attendance, taking off the boy's thumb at the bone joint, and reducing the compound, fracture of Neilsen's leg. Both patieuts are reported as progressing favora bly.
