PERSONAL. • Whilst engaged in cutting firewood, Mr. A. E. Spratt had the misfortune to injure his leg. The axe slipped, and inflicted a nasty gash just above the knee. Though it was found necessary to insert several stitches, the injury is healing satisfactorily, and Mr. Spratt is able to get about with the aid of a stick. / BENZINE STOLEN. It is reported that sneak thieves paid a visit to the local factory recently, the object of their attentions being the petrol pump. After forcibly remoying the hose, access was obtained to the pump, and some gallons of benzine removed. The matter is being investigated. 6 GENERAL.
