The lad Wright, who attempted to escape from the custody of Constable Beddesk on Friday (says the Christchurch Press) by jumping from the train, was still alive up to a late hour on Saturday afternoon, though no hopes are entertained for his ultimate recovery Dr Ross, who attended the lad, found that he had sustained a very serious compound depresed fracture of the skull; and to afford the unfortunate lad tempory relief, the portion of the skull pressing on the brain was raised, soon after which the lad recovered consciousness. He volunteered a statement to the effect that he had arranged with the lad Shears that they should both jump from the train, and that he (Wright) should first make the attempt, On searching for the lad along the railway line, Constable Smart first saw him attempting to rise, but by the time the constable reached the spot the lad was lying on his face m the long tussacks. When he jumped from the train Wright was wearing a pair o" lace-up boots, which, strange to say, were off his feet and lying by his side when the constable came upon the boy after the accident. As the wound m the head is of a most serious nature, and Wright was rendered unconscious and lying about a chain from the line, it is difficult to account for his being barefooted, The inference is that m the interval between receiving the injuries and being found by the constable, Wright must have regained consciousness and taken his boots off.

A good monkey story is told by an English paper to hand. It appears that an English lady recently took passage on a vessel bound from Kingston Jamaica, to London. A large, strong, and active monkey on board the vessel took a fancy to the ladies child — a babe about two mouths old. The monkey weuld follow the lady from place to place, watching her as she rocked and fondled the little one. It so happened on a beautiful afternoon during the voyage that a distant sail attracted the atteution of the passengers. The polite captain offered his glass to the lady. She placed her child on the sofa, and had just raised the glass to her eye when a cry was heard. Turning quickly she beheld a sailor m pursuit of the monkey, which had grasped the ininfant firmly with one arm, and was nimbly climbing the shrouds. The mother fainted as the animal reached the top of the mainmast. The captain was at his witt's end. He feared if he should send a sailor m pursuit the monkey would drop the babe and escape by leaping from mast to mast. Meanwhile the monkey was seen to be soothing and fondling the child. After trying m many ways to lure the animal down, the captain ordered his men below, and concealed himself on deck. In a moment, to his great joy he saw the monkey carefully descending. Reaching the deck, it looked cautiously around, and advanced to the sofa, and placed the child upon it. The captain restored the child to its mother, who was soon satisfied that her darling had escaped without injury.
