A sad accident happened late yesterday afternoon. It appears that a little boy, aged three and a half years, son of Mr. Sinclair, a gentleman who is at present on a visit to Blenheim, was playing with some children in a shed belonging to the railway authorities. In this shed four heavy railway gates were stood up one against the other alongside the wall. The little fellow wished to climb up the gates, against the wishes of the other children, who were playing with him, and was climbing on them, when the gate he was on fell over on him and crushed his head, scattering the brains about the floor. As sistance was immediately obtained,’ but it was found that the boy was quite dead. Mr. Sinclair came to Blenheim only within the past week, for the purpose of replacing Mr. Nixon at the National Bank, during his absence on leave. Dunedin, Sept. 25. A small stole and dwelling house on Anderson’s Bay road was burned down last night. By a fire at Samson’s pit, Green Island, several miners have been thrown out of employment.

Dunedin, Sept. 27. A case of drowning occurred in the har bor on Saturday morning, by which Robert Shaw, the contractor for the erection of beacons for the Harbor Board lost his life. Shaw and two brothers named Horne had gone to work as usual, and were on board the punt from which the pile driving was done. About half-past eight, it being necessary to shift the punt, Shaw went away in a small boat with an anchor to it at a spot about eighty yards distant. Reaching the spot, he stood up in the stern of the boat to cast off the anchor, when the boat tilted, and he fell headlong into the water. The brothers Horne re mained in the punt, but had no boat. Both could swim, and they jumped into the water. One was seized with cramp and could not leave the punt, but Arthur Horne swam to where Shaw was, andcaught hold of him. The drowning man was in sensible at this time, having been a few minutes in the water. Horne held him up for about five minutes, but becoming exhausted had to let him go, and he sunk. Horne with some difficulty got back to the punt. It was half-past ten before as sistance came. The body was found shortly after dusk, between Ravensbourne and Burke’s, in twelve feet of water. Shaw was a married man, residing in the North East Valley, and had been in the colony twelve months, having come here as master of a vessel called the Clifton. The brothers Horne, particularly Arthur, behaved with much bravery. What was very near being a fatal gun accident (and may yet become so), took place on Saturday afternoon on a hill some distance from Caversham. A lad named Benjamin Ollernshaw went out rabbiting in company with another lad named Methven. They had only one gun, but had a ferret and net. About 4 o’clock they were securing a rabbit at the mouth of a hole, and had placed the gun in the ground, when a second rabbit sprang away. ■ Ollernshaw called out to Methven to shoot it, and both in their excitment, ran towards the gun. Methven got it, but Ollernshaw coming up, he was in the act of handing it to him, when the charge went off and entered Ollernshaw’s body on the left side. Ollernshaw states that Methven was in no way to blame. Meth ven cannot say what caused the gun to go off, but believes it was at full cock when put down. A fire at Caversham last night de stroyed a shop and dwelling-house belong ing to Mr. Griffiths. The stock and furni ture were insured in the Liverpool, Lon don, and Globe for L2OO. The building, which belonged to E. Machiro, was in sured in the same office for L 260. Invercargill, Sept. 25.
