A Ituithwar Houth—On Wednesday morning, Mr.
E. Nutting, baker, South-street, sent out • journeyman
and a lad with his van to deliver bread in the town.
The vehicle was drawn by • powerful young horse, per-
chimed at Dorchester fair the day previous. Whilst
desoendint the kill by Grove Bnildintt, the horse coin-
mewed kicking and plunging, and the man in charge of
the waggon jumped off to avoid the blank of the bones
hula, leaving the boy in the waggon. Down the bill
the animal cantered at • fearful rata, the vehicle, full
of bn,ed, swaying with the velocity of its progress The
baker and several other men followed. On reaching
the angle of the road leading to Charminster, the horse
swerved to the right, and daahed between the lamppost
by the aide of the pavement and the wall pier to which
is attached the gate leading into Mr. Denninc's meadow.
The force of the collision was retreat that the wall was
broken down; thief wo hind wheels were torn front the
axle, and the shock threw the lad for oat into the road,
and sintterist the bare, in • shower over the highway.
The home's struggle. caused the harness to glee way,
and he entirely freed hthilielf, and duhed off along the
road leading to Barton, at which place it was secured
and brought bask. The lad, it was found, had sus-
tained some rather severe evolutions on his fate. The
van was almost entirely destroyed, and the harness,
whlah we. nearly new, wea broken in every part.

PIAISOIONTI RiCITAL.-11sdesse Arabella Goddard
was introduced to • Dorchester andienne on Monday
evening by Mr. T. Avant, and her visit will long be re-
membered as an oasis in the desert of dullness which
marks Dorehaster, by people having ears and any taste for
music, flora was • good eompany of our principal
people, and never was there before such piano playing
In the oounty town. Miss Edwards was the songstress,
and acquitted herself admirably. A railway casualty
deprived her of her mud* and dresses for conetert-
appeartusece, and we believe she was obliged to present
herself in • borrowed dress, while for tbe music and
eesompaniments of her songs she had to rely on
memory. However, she pang welL Mr. Avant's
sensing" limbers reedit why," the oopyright
of which we understand has been purchased of Mr.
Avant by Duncan, Davison, and Co., received • rap-
turous encore, alike gratifying to composer and singer ,•
while in Arne's fine old ballad "When daisies pied"
Miss Edmonds displayed her fresh .oice and thin-
vat's' taste to the delight of an appreciativs audience
and was encored. But the delaying of Miss Edwards's
luggage was not the only mishap of the evening. The
tuning of the seectod pianoforte, upon width Mr. Avant
was to have the honour--for such we have nodoebt any
professor would edemas it—of playing • &tett with
Madame Goddard, had been tuned something like a full
tone lower than Madame's instrument, and therefore
the &mitt was rendered imposeibte. Instead of this,
however, Mdme. Goddard played "The last rod of
summer," and in response to an Moore, " Home,
sweet home." Both these pieces with their variations
were very marvels of execution, but they did not seem
to no to be ienopoeitioas worthy of the rare conned
gift of the fair pianists. They are sadly too mechanical,
although no doubt the familiarity of the airs will always
make them popular. To our thinking Beethoven's
"Pastoral" in 1) in (our movement., was the most
charming performance in a rich two hours' programme.
The quaint gaiety of the music was expounded with so
exquisite • grace that it was quite enchanting. Alto-
gether it was a mod enjoyable concert,
