An accident whioh fortunately was not attm.dod with very serious results happened to an Upper Plain settler nt lienall's creek, between ten and eleven o'clock this morning. It appears that whilst passing the creek driving a-horse and cart with Beveral sacks of potatoes, the settler in question drove into the water to give his horse a drink, and, in. making room for another vehicle, driven by a lady, he got in rather too far, and ono wheel went into a deep mud hole. The animal in the ■ shafts managed to keep its feet, and being very quiet, with some trouble was rescued from its perilous position. Had tho horso been in the least restive it would assuredly have been drowned.' Tho owner got his produce from the cart to terra firma and then had to await the first friendly team to got bis vehicle from theboghole. Tho Bcrotigh Council should toko steps by eroding a pole or something of tho sort to warn persons taking advantage of the creek to water their animals of the danper of going in too far, as we hear quite a number of similar accidents havo occurred at this spot lately, A Molbourne priest is bein» prosecuted for allowing" over crowding in his church, Mr Garland, M.L.A., of New South Wales, has given £lO to ovory hospital in his electorate.
