TE AROHA.
(FKOM OUll OWN COIUIK3PONJ>KNT.) Tjs Akoua, Friday. An accident, which might have been attended with much more serious consequences, happened on Saturday forenoon to Mr Ge.o. Devey, seni , ., carpenter. He was putting aomu goods into his spring cart at the steamboat landing, when his horse took fright at something and started off. Mr Devey sprung to tho shafts, and in the endeavour to stop the animal he fell to the ground, the wheel of the cart passing over his shoulders. He was severely bruised about that part of the body, and also had his right hand badly wounded besides sustaining some other contusions. Assistance was speedily rendered, and he was at once conveyed to his home where he is-now progressing favourably. The horse continued his career until he came to the railway crossing, when the wheel of the vehicle came slightly in contact with a post and was capsized. 'Fortunately the traces parted, and after running some distance the animal was stopped, neither it nor the trap being much the worse for the adventure.
