Serious Accident.
We regret to hear that another accident has happened at the Longburn liailway bridge. It appears that Pat rick Xaruer, who was driving the piles, lost his balance aud was precipitated into the river, a distance of 50 feet or thereabouts, Mr Williams promptly came inco town for a medical man, Dr. Harvey going back with him, who upon arriving found the poor fellow suffering from slight concussion of the brain, with ECalp wounds and various contusions. The men all say that there ib no blame to be attached to any person on the works. We are glad to hear that Turnea is progressing favourably.
