Acoidbnt.-— leiterday morning Mr Biohar 1 Thomas was in bis paddook holding a horse at the time an employee was endeavoring to oatoh another one, a young on* which gave some trouble. The horse held by Mr Thomas took alarm and knocked him down,; (rampling over him as it cleared, a way. Mr Thomas has been very ill for the past four months, and had no strength to resist the horse's struggles. Ha sustained a nasty out over the eye, and was trodden on in other parts. He was removed to hia residence near at band and there attended to by Dr Leggatt. We are pleased to learn that hia injuries are not a» serious bb at firs i thought, though, in bis state of health the shaking wilt tell severely upon him. The Druids.— A speoial meeting of the Maitai Lodge of the Ancient Order of Druids was held last night, the object being to take leave of a valued member in the person of Bro E. J. Barltrop. There was a good attendance, and Bro Jiokell, as District President, made a presentation to Bro Barltrop of a Draidioal jewel in the form of a Maltese crosb, bearing on its face the Druids' motto, and on the reverie " U.A.O D. To Arch Druid Barltrop, as a token of esteem from the Maitai Lodge, No. 301." The jewel, in tba production of which very considerable ariißtio skill was evinced, was the handiwork of Messrs Brown and Eerr, and it was made of Collingwood gold. Bro Barltrop suitably acknowledged the presentation, P.A. Bro Scott presided over the Lodge meeting.

United Gbickei Cltjb.— The members of this olub are requested to meet at Trafalgar Park at two o'clock this afternoon to open the season, when sides will be chosen. The Oid People's Homb.— The Rev P. W. Chatterton visited this institution on Thursday evening last, and gave an interesting account of his reoent visit to England. Whilst in Japan he met two Nelson ladies, Miss Hunter-Brown and Miss Paisley, who are engaged in missionary work there.

Trust in this ap proved artiole and'rejeot all others An Impudent Fraud has been perpetrated upon a Well-known Member of Parliament. This gentleman reoently entered a small ohemUt's establishment in Northampton and asked fur a box of Hollo way's Pills. A pabket was given to him, for whioh he paid and then left tbe shop. Having to leave for London that evening, it was not until he was ia the train, maDy miles away from Northampton, that he discovered he had been swindled. Instead of Holloway's Pills he found that a pernioious and worthless imitation had been foisted upon him. Of course the rubbish was thrown away, and the M.P. had to wait until he arrived in London before he could get the geauine artiols.
