Details: An accident occurred on Friday night, about half-past eight o clock, to Dr. John Pierce, between Waratah and Wallsend. It appears he had an occasion to go and see his brother, Dr. Robert Pierce, at Waratah. The night being rather dark, about one hundred yards this side of the Big Hill, the surface of the ground has fallen in by the Waratah Company taking out all the coal, which has left this place in a very dangerous state, the doctor coming cantering at an easy pace, when, unfortunately for him, his horse got into one of these open cracks with his two front feet, and fell over on his side, and the unlucky doctor had the misfortune to be undermost, which resulted in damaging his left foot severely. The lid of his left knee is badly cut, also a deep gash on the left arm near the elbow. His shoulder on the same side was so badly hurt that it was impossible for him to move it. On his arrival at Wallsend, after the accident, thirty-two leeches were applied to his foot, which he got a considerable amount of relief from. He has been bedridden ever since, but I am informed there are none of his bones fractured, and that he expects to be well enough shortly to attend to some small portion of his duties

Details: Many readeres of the Chronicle will be glad to learn that their old friend Dr. John Pierce, M.D., will soon be amongst them again. His presence is much needed in Wallsend, as nearly all the work now devolves upon his brother Dr. R. J. Pierce, of Waratah, who is at it night and day. The fever being so prevalent just now gives the medical men a good deal of what may be regarded as extra work
