1' ROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. Mr Juii I'orlrc, manager of Stanley road cnaiuciy, met with an accident through a wooden vat full of hot water failing on his foot, which was bad ly bruised. lie narrowly escaped being scalded. It has been suggestd by the Stanley road people that a petition should be sent in to the Manganui Road Board to have something done- to the ruad. There are some very dangerous placs. One place in particular, should be fenced, or else an out-let made at the bottom, so that when traps roll over this gorge it will nut be a dillicuk matter to get out without having Iu walk about three miles for ropes and block and tackle. Mr kk'cman managed to stcr his course over this place just recently through a young horse shying, lie is not the only one, as there have been several narrow escapes recently.

The man was arrested and this morning taken to Forirua asylum, Mr K'ecman, Manager of the dairy factory, left to day for New Plymouth where he and his family will spend a few days holiday making.
