INGLEWOOD.
| FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] March 1. — An accident occurred here to day which might have been attended with fatal consequences. A horse attached to a trap, belonging to Mr FlintofE, was frightened by some bullocks that wore being driven by Mr E. Gernhoefer, and bolted with the trap from the yard, throw ing a child of the owner to the ground, causing a badly contused wound on the forehead. Thq horse galloped headlong down the Mountain Road, until stopped by Mr Gernhoefer, who rode after it. It is to be hoped the poor child's brain will not be affected. Tho Salvation Army had a tea meeting here to-day. In the evening they marched through the town, followed by about 100 younsters, who were whistling, shouting;, and making other peculiar noises. They had an instrument called a " bullroar "—" — this is a flat piece of wood, notched, and attached to a string, which by winding round caused a noise resembling the bellowing of a bull — and the singing and praying of the Army was completely lost by the uproar of these lads. The fact is enough to cause the human pendulum (if I may coin the word) to oscillate at the rate of 200 per Becond in any person who does not wish to see Christianity made a football of. 1 think there would be more wisdom in the Army staying in their barracks than parading the street. It is far from me to write anything offensive of any person, whatever their belief may be. These boys do not interfere with other religious persuasions.
