Her escape was very remarkable, and is accounted for by the presence of mind she showed in drawing herself close iip between the platform and wheels. A family resident in one of the suburbs wasj seized with an illness last week, but were unable to ascertain the cause for some days. At length the head of the household suggested that the water was impure, and caused it to lie run off. This having been done a painter's brush, covered with paint, was discovered at the bottom of the tank. The family were being slowly poisoned by white load, owing to the painter bt:ing too lazy to remove the brush, which had accidantly been lost in painting the tank.
In Cameron's £-5250 sweep, tho first prize goes to Christehiirch, second to Invercargill, and the third to Queenstown.
