We are infoimed that an excellent programme has been prepared for the concert; whilst the teas on such occasions at Morrinsville are always first-ohms. Tt is to be hoped the weather \\ ill pi ove fine, and th it a very large numbei will attend. A very enjo}v able evening may be relied on. On Thursday morning 1 an accident oc* cuiicd at Te Aroh i, which it is really miraculous was not attended with moic serious consequence. It appears Mr T. Dnullev, about nine o'clock. was driving a pair of horses (one a young hoise being' bioken to harness), attaclied to nn empty coach fiom a cottage he owns in Lipsey'n block towards the etibles, hU younger son, Langley Bradley, being with him on the box f-eat, and when near the Wesloyan Church a dog suddenly ran and jumped up at the hornes, and &o frightened one that it got it^ leg over the pole ; and commenced plunging ro th.it both hoisr-s became unman. igeable and bolted.

Continuing their mad career tho horses #«iHoped on (with only the forecarriage now attached), to Biid^o street, where facing round suddenly for the Mtables, the forecarriage overturned nnd both horses were thrown down ; but escaped with a few scratches. The accident caused quite a sensation -it the time, as young Bnidley's life was in gieat danger. Mr Bradley got a very severe shaking and was badly bruised, but is able to be about as usual, i
