A few days ago this animal was being used in a team in the country to draw firewood, and the driver left the cart and horses by themselves whilst he vent into the bush to find where the wood was, and durir^ his absence the horsei got entangled and the shaft of the dray got driven into the body of tho leader, making a very dangerous wound. When the- horse was got t> his stable everything was done to ease the wound and to heal it, but though the animal keerried quiet and stood up in his stall, nothing would induce him to eat, and yesterday morning without a struggle he fell down suddenly and expired. The Borough Council call for tender* >r fncing a portiod ofthe recta ion vdsewe. '

This duty being out of the common, had naturally, an air of trouble and anxiety attaching to it, as though lighting a fire is an everyday occurrance, it is not everyone who can easily do it. By stern attention to duty the tire w»s Jit, and lite most amateurs an extra sized one ,was kept up.
