On Monday night the Waiohine bridge, between Grey town and Carterton, ivns broken while an engine, with three or four wagons of timber, was going over. All traffic going that way. has now to go via Matarawa. For Children's Hacking Cough at Night, Woods' Groat Peppermint Cure, Is. Gd.» An improved gate for stopping runaways lias saved over a hundred horses from serious injury since it has been intalled on tho Williamsburg Bridge, ill New York City. This gate, instead of being, like the old one, simply a barrier across tho roadway, brings tho runaway horse into a V-shaped chute, in which tho vehicle that he draws becomes wedged. The animal is thus stopped before ho can striko tlio apex of tho .-gate, and so escapes injury. .
