Mrs Brayo, whose name was so much before the public last year, died suddenly shortly before the Suez mail left England . The Wellington Ar&us understands that jfche officers of the Railway Department purpose presenting a testimonial to Mr Passmore on bis retirement from the ser». vice. He was given hi 3 choice of twelve months' notice or six months' salary, and /elected the latter. It is understood he intends to settle in Canterbury. A painful apcident occurred in Wellington the other day to a lad, 12 years of age, a son of Mr Turnbull, ,a merchant jn that town. He was riding through the streets when his horse boHed, bringing one pf the'rider's legs in violent collision with an express waggon and badly fracturing it. Still the little fellow pluckily stuck to his horse with the broken limb uselessly dangling in the stirrup until the horse pullel up at its stable, when lie fell fainting from the saddle. A sudden surprise (says the Dunedin Guardian) happened to a devout old lady named Mrs Hesford yesterday morning. She was attending mass, as was her custom, at ■ eight o'clock, in St. Joseph's Chapel, and when kneeling down just inside the porch, when her attention was directed to a shawl covering a bundle, lying under a form alongside. At first she ;, imagined it was a portion of the garments pf an absent worshipper, nod she was about to examine it when an infantile, cry was heard, and at the same moment a tiny bullet head protruded through the folds. The bundle was at once overhauled. It was found to contain »n infant apparently about a fortnight old, dressed in white baby-clotbes, and wrapped up with a black plaid shawl, and an old woollen shawl outside. The police were immediately communicated wilh,,and^it would be seen by a telegram on Saturday that a woman .named Bridget Ryan has since been arrested.
