Yesterday forenoon a Maori drove a hor?o and trap into Mr Rathbone'eyard adjoining Mr Simiiley's workshop aud proceeded to unharness ouo side of the horse, when, it began to move, and he, pulling at tho reins to make it keep still, pulled oft the bridle, whereupon tho horse bolted ahead across a narrow watercourse, swerved round to come back again through a deeper portion, and then) stuck In its attempt to got froo it broke both shafts aud tho splashboard, and so made a good job for Mr Shanley. The Town Board will hold a special meeting on Tuesday next, when one matter to bu dealt with will bo tbo appointment of a poum :eeper in the room of W. Liddle (deeea.' 1). Perhaps it is because there i.s no poundkeeper that horses aro turned out on tho road to graza every night now. Last ni™ht I nearly run against one in tho dark.

Last evening, at Oddfellows' Hall, Dr. Godfray g«vo tho first of ii scrius of lectures on ambulance work to some twentythree of tho -Firo Brigade. He first gnvo a brief description of the anatomy of tho human body, exhibiting tho noveral 'bones, their position, and übch, proceeding to explain tho cartilages, muscles, the position of the heart and its action, {he lungs, kidneyn, intestines, circulation of tho blood, &c. After this lie illustrated tho varioux usos of the triangular bandages on a living- subject, and invited boiuo of those present to l'oLow his example on others, which wan er litably done by two or three members. The manner and matter of the doctor's remark- was exceedingly interesting and readily comprehended by tho youngest person present. Superintendent Stone occupitd tho chair, and expressed a desire that persons outside the Brigade should join tho class, which, it was decided, should meet weekly. Next week Dr. Godfray will explain tho process for resuscitating pardons apparently drowned, and artificial respiration.
