NARROW ESCAPE OF THE REV. MR WILSHERE
The weather at Caledon, during the late rains, was more tempestuous even than in the neighbourhood of Somerset. The heavy fall of water must have been, it is thought, from the bursting of a water spout. The gardens of the village itself were at once denuded of vegetation and soil, changing he whole appearance of the place. The Rev Mr. WILSHERE, rector of Caledon, had a narrow escape from drowning. On his return from an out-station he found the Steenboks River, in which there is generally very little water, so full as to make him hesitate before attempting the passage in his cart; but on the driver assuring him that he knew the drift well, and could get through without danger, he attempted it. The horses soon commenced to swim, and the flood was so strong as to drift them rapidly down the stream. The cart was upset, and the horses, struggling to free themselves, were soon drowned. The driver swam to the shore from which they started, but Mr. WILSHERE made for the opposite one, towards home, which, after alternately swimming and hanging to bushes, he reached in safety, though his hands were much torn in the struggle. The loss altogether amounted to about £70, including the cart, money, clothing and other articles. The horses were hired, and Mr. WILSHERE at once commenced a subscription for the owner's benefit. On his arrival at the village, having been assisted by friends with change of clothing, horses &c, he found the bridge washed away, and the river rushing wildly on. – Courant

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE UITENHAGE ROAD
The E.P. Herald gives the following:- On Monday morning as Mr. GOWIE, of Grahamstown, and some friends were driving in from Uitenhage, they met a two-horse cart and a horseman (Mr. EDYE of Uitenhage), a little beyond the half-way house, tearing along the road at a furious rate. The road at the point in question takes a sharp curve, and when Mr. GOWIE came in sight of the other cart it was only about twenty yards off. Mr. GOWIE's cart was on the proper side of the road, but seeing that the driver of the other vehicle made no attempt to change his course, Mr. GOWIE ordered his driver to turn to the left (in order to avoid a collision, which otherwise appeared inevitable), and in so doing the pole knocked Mr. EDYE off his horse, and severely injured him. He was taken to Uitenhage, and we regret to hear died yesterday, at twelve o'clock. He has left a widow and three children to mourn his untimely death. The Telegraph gives the reason why the unfortunate deceased was riding so fast. It says – A melancholy accident occurred on the road between this and Uitenhage on Monday last. Mr. J.B. EDYE, of Uitenhage, and late of this town, had been to Mrs. JAMES's half-way house on business, and there met with COOK's passenger cart. On leaving he chaffed Mr. COOK as to who should reach Uitenhage first, in consequence of which they both started off at a rapid rate, Mr. EDYE being on horseback. They had got some little distance along the road when in turning a corner a cart coming in an opposite direction ran upon Mr. EDYE, the pole striking him in the chest and knocking him completely off his horse. He was taken up all but dead and conveyed to Uitenhage, where he lingered till Thursday. The deceased was a very industrious young man and much respected, and his untimely death has cast a gloom over a large circle of friends. His funeral, which took place yesterday afternoon, was numerously and respectably attended.

ACCIDENT
A serious accident, says the Fort Beaufort Advocate, happened to the Rev Mr. STEGMAN of Adelaide on Saturday last as he was returning from Graaff-Reinet. The cart in which he was travelling was overturned on the west side of Schiet Rug, nearly opposite Mr. George KING's dam, by the wheel coming against the stump of an old tree. The Rev gentleman was thrown out, and had his leg broken by the tent of the cart. The little Kafir boy who was travelling with him was pitched among the horses. Fortunately Mr. STEGMAN had sufficient presence of mind to keep hold of the reins, and thus staid the horses until another cart which he had heard coming along in the distance reached the spot. Mr. Nicholas RAUBENHEIMER and his Kafir man were in this cart, and they very kindly did all they could for the poor sufferer. He was brought into Adelaide as gently as possible; but it must have been a sore ride. Medical assistance was procured immediately on his reaching home, and we are glad to know that he is progressing favourably. The kindness of friends in this affliction has been very marked – many have come from a distance to sympathize with their pastor. We wish Mr. STEGMAN a speedy recovery and a life of usefulness for many years to come.

THE LATE MR. WOOLDRIDGE
(From our own Correspondent)
Peddie, 3rd April 1865 - The mortal remains of the late Mr. James Warwick WOOLDRIDGE, Civil Commissioner's Clerk, were removed from the residence of Mrs. TAINTON Senr on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and conveyed to their last resting place, close to that of the late Mr. TAINTON Senr, in the cemetery of Peddie – followed by the Civil Commissioner and Mr. R.G. TAINTON as chief mourners (personal friends of the deceased), by the entire inhabitants of the village, several farmers, Mr. Sub-Inspector SURMON, and a number of his force. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev Jno. ALDRED, who together with the Rev Mr. CHAPMAN and Dr. MACK, medical attendant of the deceased, preceded the remains.
Deceased came to this colony with his father, who was in command of the British German Legion when they first arrived, and who, together with his mother and brothers, have left the colony. Mr. WOOLDRIDGE remained some short time in Capetown. In 1857 he entered the Civil Department, first as a temporary clerk at Government House, from whence he was appointed Clerk to the Magistrate of Peddie, and promoted to Civil Commissioner's Clerk in 1860, and on the 22nd December last he was appointed a Justice of the Peace for the district. Mr. WOOLDRIDGE likewise held the appointment of Secretary to the Divisional Council, which said appointment he has held since its first formation until the time of his demise, and in all his various offices gave general satisfaction.
The premature death of this young but promising and ever active official will be much felt in the district and in society in general, as he always took a willing and lively part in whatever tended to promote the welfare of the district, nor was he ever behind hand with his mite of contribution on all occasions.
As an official he was generally respected. His loss in the office – which he quitted on or about the 8th February last – will be much felt.

After the family and servants had retired to rest, Mrs. HICKEY remained up to make a cup of coffee for a friend, during which time her clothes must have taken fire unperceived, and must have been burning slowly for at least a quarter of an hour; and alas! detected too late, for the startling discovery made her rush instantly from the place where she was sitting, when the fire was fanned into an inextinguishable flame, till almost every particle of clothing she had on was burnt on her body, and in about five minutes afterwards she expired. Up to the moment of her death she was perfectly conscious". Advertiser & Mail.
