He was promptly conveyed to his mothers residence and attended to by Dr Fookes, who we are glad te My could nottraee any sorious hurt, though the boy's faoe was brui ed, and there was a slight contusion. Of course with such a littlei fellow, it is impossible to say for certain whether the injuries aresupir-j ficial only, but it is hopad that this is 1 the ca°e.
