A Narrow Escape. - Kiama, Saturday. - An accident occurred to a person named Thomas Gloag at Kangaroo Mount last week whilst engaged at clearing and burning timber, resulting in a, compound fracture of the left leg just below the knee. Gloag was at the time firing some big logs on the side of a hill, and whilst arranging the pile one of the logs rolled down on him, pinning him to the ground. A youth working with Gloag managed to raise the log with a lever sufficiently to allow of his being extricated. The neighbors were apprised, and Gloag waa carried home on a stretcher, and Dr. Lemars was sent for, who set the leg, and after a  little while sent the patient on to the Kiama Hospital, where he now remains. Gloag. had a very narrow escape of losing his life.
