On Thursday afternoon the body of the late Robert McLean was laid to rest in the Cemetery. The coffin was first taken to the Primitive Methodist Chapel where the Eev Mr Rains read a portion of the burial service, and the choir sang one of the deceased's favourite hymns. At the cemetery the Rev Mr Raine concluded the service at the side of ths grave. The Rev Mr Duncan addressed those present and read a few verses, which appear in another column, remarking that they represented his feelings entirely. The funeral was a very large one, some 50 persons following on foot, fifteen vehicles, and over 30 horsemen. All together there must have been 150 in attendance. All religious denominations were present, and we noticed, besides the Rev Mr Duncan, the Presbyterian Minister, the lay reader of the Church of England, and the officers of the Salvation Army. All desirous of showing the last respect to a worthy man.

As Mrs Neilson was driving across the railway in the square on Thursday morning, says the Manawatu Tunes, the Danevirke engine whistled. Mrs Neilson at once turned the horse round, when the animal refused to move forward or stand still, but commenced to back, with the result that the cart was thrust directly into the centre of the passing train. The horse was thrown down and the cart was completely overturned. So sudden was the capsize that though the oart contained several artioles they were all buried beneath it. Mrs Neilson, fortunately, made an attempt to jump out, and she was consequently thrown clear of the body of the oart, but she fell between the shafts directly under the horse Willing hands soon extrioated her, and it was found that beyond a few bruises and a severe fright she escaped uninjured. The shafts of the oart and the splashboard were broken, but the horse esoaped uninjured,
