    3. According to the HUNTERVILLE Express, Mr John ANDREWS, for the last two or three years a laborer on the co-operative works at MAKOHINE, has been left by relations in Hawke's Bay the handsome fortune of £40,000. Mr W.T. SHARP, the newly-appointed organist of NAPIER Cathedral, is expected here about the 16th instant to commence his duties.........Mr SHARP has held the position of organist of St. John 's Church, ASHFIELD (a suburb of SYDNEY), for the last ten years. On Saturday an accident, which fortunately was not attended with very serious results, occurred to two of the Misses RUSSELL, daughters of Captain RUSSELL, at HASTINGS. While out driving they pulled up on the side of the road to speak to the Rev. J. HOBBS, when from some unexplained cause their horse bolted. The carriage was partially overturned, and the two ladies were thrown with great force on to the road. Both were very much shaken and partially stunned, and were at once taken into the parsonage, where for several hours Miss RUSSELL remained unconscious. Drs. FAULKNOR and NAIRN were speedily in attendance, and found that neither of the ladies were dangerously hurt. On inquiry yesterday our HASTINGS correspondent found that Miss RUSSELL was much better though suffering from the effects of the shock. Miss Cora RUSSELL was practically unhurt. After the accident the vehicle sppears to have righted itself, for the horse galloped up on the main street until he reached Mr BEECROFT's, where he was pulled up.
