  	A BOLT that was fortunately unattended with serious consequences occurred yesterday evening. Mr. Aspland was engaged removing furniture to his new residence, Cr??sy road, when the horse took fright at a bicyclist, and bolted in spite of the exertions of two men to hold it. It first of all came into contact with, a buggy and pair driven by Mr. Gibson, and capsized the trap. The animal then careered wildly up Manifold street, and turned down into Scott street, where it was subsequently caught. The contents of the waggonette were scattered abroad and somewhat damaged. Mr. Aspland, himself, was knocked down in his attempt to stay the progress of the animal, and dragged several yards. He was stunned and bruised by the fall.

  	We learn that Mr. Wm. Aspland has taken the Temperance Hotel, and intends to open it for the accommodation of the public from this date. Mr. Aspland is well and favourably known in the district; tho building has been thoroughly renovated and is now roomy and convenient; and Mrs. Aspland's management will be a sufficient guarantee as to the efficient and correct conducting of the establishment. A house of this kind was wanted in the town - witness the late show time.
