ST. ENDELLION.


HARVEST ACCIDENT. - On Monday Henry OATEN, son of Mr. OATEN, of Tregavern Farm, met with a serious accident. While coming from the harvest field with a wagon load of corn the shaft horse began to kick, and young OATEN, who was riding on the shaft, jumped off and fell under the wagon. The wheels passed over him and broke his thigh in two places. Messrs. WILLIAMS, of Port Isaac, and PEARCE and JEROME, of Camelford, were quickly in attendance, and set the limb, which they found badly fractured, the bone being much shattered. The young fellow appears to be singularly unfortunate, as it was only last harvest he broke the same leg just above the ankle.
