ACCIDENTS AND NATALITIES.

Arthur South, a boy living in Great King street, was taken to the hospital to-day suffering from a fracture of the collar bone caused by a fall off a banister. After receiving treatment he was sent to his home.

Alfred Bush, sixteen years of age, living ia M'Bride street, South Dunedin, met with a nasty mishap yesterday afternoon. He is employed in Mr North's brushware factory in Bond street, and late in the afternoon, when delivering a hand-cart load of goods, he was knocked over by a bicycle rider, sustaining a severe bruise over the region of the heart and having one rib displaced. Not feeling inconvenienced by the injury, he did not report the accident to his employers, and proceeded with his work, but after taking out another load his strength gave way, and a constable finding him lying on the footpath in George had him couveyed to the hospital. It was there that the nature of the accident was discovered. Last night the boy was in a feverish state, but this morning he had calmed sufficiently to give hope that in a few days he will be in a fair way to recovery. George Holland, a little boy, was swinging behind the Castle street tram la9t night, when he fell off and sustained a slight concussion of the brain. He waß attended to at the hospital.
