A runaway took place at the Wavcrlcy railway station on Monday last. A horse attached to a spring cart was left standing outside the station while the owner was doing business in the Office. A train approached and frightened the animal, which started off at a gallop, but only travelled a short distance when the cart struck a telephone post which snapped into three pieces. Both shafts of the cart were broken off and other damage done. The horse, which galloped away after getting clear of the cart, escaped injury.

The late Mrs. Annie Dykes Lambie, of Pihama, had some interesting experiences in the early days, says an exchange. Deceased (whose maiden name was Taylor) who was born at Litrlchill in the parish of Craigic, Ayrshire, Scotland, came to New Zealand in 1805 in the sailing ship Tctcr Denncy, which occupied 87 days on the trip from Glasgow to Dunedin. This was the Peter .Denney's maiden voyage. At Dunedin

Wft passengers transferred to the steamer Little Egmont, which curried them to Lyttclton where they landed on Peacock's wharf. After staying a few days in \ Christchurch, deceased went to Doyleston, then called Boggy Creek, to Mr. John Lambie's residence. Shortly after she went to Millet's station and was there for over a year. Two small sections were purchased, and this was Mrs. Lambie's residence for the next ten years. Later she removed to Tai Tapu, Lincoln, where she lived for a further ten years, subsequently coming to Taranaki in 1885, where she had resided up to the time of her death.
