A peculiar accident happened in Cambridge 011 Thursday. Ono ot tho Fencourt waggons was going up Victoria-street, loaded with bags of oats, when tho near fr.ro wheel came off, but strange to say no damage was done, although there were two tons on tho waggon. It was found tho cap hatl camo of the wheel, and upon searching back alone llie road it was found opposite Mr Wells' store. Matters were soon rectified, but how the cap came oil' remains a mystery as the thread ot the screw was letthanded, and consequently the wheel, when travelling, would liavo a tendency to tighten it. This is ono of those things that as"Lord Dundreary would say : " >.0 fellah can understand."

A lecture on the "History of Christianity in England" is to be eiven at TeAwamntn on Monday, March 2nd, by the Rev. J. Haselden, the Diocesan Missionary. The lecture is illustrated by o\er sixty of tho very best hind of magic lantern views made bv Newton and Co., of London, for the S.I'.C.K. The growth of tho Church in Britain is traced from tho earliest time up to the present day, and different places where great events took placo and the actors in them are shown. Documents of interest, as for example Mngna Charti, are alsa shown. Bishop Cowie in the last number of the Church Oazette says : Tn tho evening I attended a lecture iu the Omaha I'ablic Hall, Riven by tho llov. ,T. H.aseldan, who illustrated his subject by ctood magic lantern pictures. There was a liU'tfo attendance, and nutc.i pleasure instruction wave utfunled. Mr I'Xaselaon s illustrated lectures on the history ot Christianity and the Anglican Church are specially beneficial are greatly appreciated by his hearers." The lecture will be given at Alexandra to-night.
