OBSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD.

(to the editob of ths times.) ??iq, — Allow mo space to compKin of an obstruction of the high road which has resulted ia an ucciient. I \y.is ridin? on the nijrht of Friday last along the North Road, and at tlit etnb mkment on tha Wallaeetown side of tlio Waikiwi Briige, I found a carrier's waggon without horsea drawn up on the ride of the road. The road was partially obstructed, and the night being cloudy, tha obstruction was scarcely notice-iblo until closa to it, and there being five in the party in which I was, the foremost horse shiei and came into collision with the rest, overturning one on which a lady was ridinj. The ortibinkmenc ia proridenuully not very eteop in the place where ths acoident occarred, and the lndy was not aariouily injured, but the leaving of the wivigon in the pluoe in wliich it was left was a pt.!co of want-on-7ie«3 that no rational cum ought to have buen guilty of, espeoialJy as thire is plenty of wacte ground ft sh^rt distance off ou wiiieli it might have been left wit.. out causing danger. If you rrilt kinilly let thi<s a:>pea? in your weekly issue, it will probnoly rßii-jh tne piriy concorned, and act t»3 a caution to vim ana to others. — I am, &c, TbaT£X.iss.
