The capture of a horse lost a year ago by Mr. : Deegan, of Hamilton, was made on Saturday. The horse, originally bought from the natives, and two others, were lost and seen beyond Ohaupo this time last year, and nothinc more heard of them. On Saturday Mr. Deegan recognised one of them at Frankton, waiting and others, the property of Mr. John McSolvin, a horse-dealer, at Ellerslie, to go down by that morning's train. Mr. Deegan took Sergeant McGovern down to Frankton just before the starting of the train, proved the identity of the horse with that he ' had lost, and took it away. McSolvin bought the animal fairly enough at Buckland's sale, on the 15th instant, and now the question will be to trace the owner- . ship back.;--; -■->■■■ ;.-y> ■ „." ;: -''■'".y '■'■>'> '■ ' Cambridge,.Monday;-'.;:.
