One day last week a Mr. Wakeford, a respectable yeoman, near Petersfield, in Hampshire, was assisting his men, in the hay-field, he had the misfortune to slip from a loaded waggon, with a considerable portion of its contents, which completely buried him, and it was feared fatally, as he made no effort to rise, and on the removal of the hay, appeared quite dead, with one of his arms pierced through with the point of a pitchfork he had been using, which remained in the wound. A surgeon was immediately sent for, who, on his arrival, produced symptoms of life; after which Mr. Wakeford was conveyed home, in a doubtful state, but he now lies in a fair way of recovery.
