WELLINGTON DUST.
TO THE BDITOE OF THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir. —Crossing one of the main thoroughfares last week I nearly met with an uncalled-for accident. The wind .was that strong I had to hold on to my chapeau. Being in the middle of the street, I was, as it were, charged on both sides by cabs and a tram; I could manage, of course, to get clear of the above vehicles were it not for a shower of dust, mouldering horse-dung, &0,, which blinded me for some moments. In this plight I did not know, nor could I see, the best way to beat a retreat But Providence kindly lent her aid and brought me safe through, and I landed at the same side 1 started from, shedding tears mingled with the above composition. The above recital will, I trust, be read in its proper light by the authorities who have it in their power to avert such inconvenience and possible fatalities.— l am, &0., Peo Bono. Wellington, September 25.
