Accident at Campbelltown.

A most painful accident took place at Campbelltown last Monday, . the Bufivrer being a settler named Henry Ehrhorn. It appears (says the Fox ton paperVthe man was engaged by Hr George Dear m bush fulling, and the acddent happened through an 'old dead tree coming down without warning, and as said, the poor fellow was unable to get out of the way. Mr Periett, also a settler here, who was looking out; for cattle, came at once to his assistance, and seeing the state of 'the case, he immediately called the neighbours, who, after a deal of trouble, go*t the sufferer out and brought him to his home. : Dv Frood, who shortly arrived at the spot, found that Ehrbotn's thigh-bone was broken, and also a serious fracture to the jaw bone. He ordered the patient's removal to the Wanganni Hospital. Fourteen of his fellow settlers car* Vied him on Wednesday to the Tramway station, and m charge 6i Messrs Dahl and Larsen left by the 12.30 train. Credit is due to the guard, Mr Malcolm, and the engine driver, Mr Mills, for the kind and painstaking manner irf*which they received the man and made him as comfortable as possible. Ehrhorn is a well kuown settler here, and great sympathy is felt for his wife and children. ,
