IMPALED ON A HAY FORK.
[from OCR OWN correspondent.] Hamilton, Tuesday. A severe though fortunately not dangerous accident happened yesterday to Mrs. Edward Wall. She was engaged building a stack of hay, and when on the stack she stumbled, and dropping her fork foil upon her fork, when one of the prongs entered her side below the breast, coming out ab her back. Dr. Brew is was at once sent for, but not having returned from Te Awamutu, did nob arrive for some lime. Mrs. Wall would not allow the fork to be removed until he came, fearing the hemorrhage that was likely to ensue. The doctor, however, removed it at once, and upon examination found that the wound was not a dangerous one, for though the fork had pierced the ribs, it had passed through without touching any vital part.
