ACCIDENTS AT ARATAPU.
A gumdigqer named Pearson received severe wounds about his face and nock from a horse on Saturday. He had just oaught it, and was dismounting to lead it into the Btable, when he fell, and the horse tramped over his face. He was brought into Aratapa, and Br. Norton, who was telegraphed for, was very soon in attendance. He dressed the wounds, and hopes to see the patient restored in about three weeks. The horse luckily was without shoes. Wm. Brimmer, who has been acting as trainer for our sportsman, Captain Seymour, received a kick from a horse on Christmas Day, ..which broke two of his ribs. In spite of this, he succeeded in carrying off two or three races on Boxing Day.—[Own Correspondent, December 31. J
