When Tay street is level as a bowlinggreen, and Hansom cabs shall convey our busy traders from one part of the city to another; when the railway brings the Aldinga's passengers from the Bluff, and the Town Belt shall be a Rotten Row in a different sense to what it is now, the following facts will read curious:—Four men were coming down Tay street on Friday night, and had passed a man well known at Long Bush rather the worse for beer. Opposite Macgeorge's store he strayed too far from the flax footpath and was soon firmly embedded up to a joint above the knee in half-frozen mud. It required the united exertions of the whole party to extricate the man from his perilous position, when it was found that he was minus a boot, and it is worthy of record that a shoemaker amongst the party most feelingly handed him his card.— lnvercargitt Times, June 23.
