A runaway pony. A little excitement wee asoN4
last Saturday afternoon by the running of • pony, elm
well-known (because so widely advertised) Mainzer
bury grey, belonging to Mr. Charles Summers. A
lady and three or (oar chil iron were coming down
Park-road in • carriage drawn by this pony. Whim
opposite Mr. Hunter's the pony started on at full
speed down the bill, taking the turning towards the
Ship Hotel. When opposite the Tap of the Ship
Hotel on* of the wheels were errashed and the lady
thrown out, the pony still going on with the carriage
and children until stopped by Mr. Luker. The lady
was picked up and carried into the Ship Hotel and a
doctor sent for. Happily no bone. were broken, but
the lady's lee warn much grazed and her awl* badly
s‘zramtgened. The children did not meet with any
beyond the fright We should think the
Mallneebtuy grey will lose its character of being such
• quiet pony (se the advertisement. say) lilt plays
such tricks as this. But perhaps the pony was not to
be blamed.

Mr. Cl...hem rvigniug to Mrs. Chambers. said that he
knee she would bs no good at preaching, although she
was apt at giring a lecture to • limited audience" at
home. (Laughter.) H. could promise them, however,
that she would make a useful and loving pg,gor•g wife.
Mr. Chambers ildeired hie audience not to expect too inuch
from him in the way of visitation ; be we. iota young
man, and would require all the time he could Set to
develop by study and otherwise the powers which God had
given him to apply to the work of the ministry. He
would, however, promise them that whenever they
wanted him he would come to them, and, as he was but
human, they must let him know of their wants. Ho
would try and visit all from time to time, but mutt give
the preference to the sick, the dying, and the needy. H.
sated for consideration from thorn he should vint, and
hoped they would not he too exacting in the time to be
spent with them, but to remember that others required
his presence. After a speech characterized by much feel-
ing and good taste, Mr. Chambers rammed his sea and
the following_ gentlemen each gave an appropriate
welcome on behalf of the various societies in connection
with the church Mr. Baines, Sunday School ; Mr. D.
Young, Band of Hops; Mr. Tapley. the choir; Kr. Good-
' am, ag.. day whoa, and institute; Dr. Corm, the art
and Klett°. clause.; Mr. Wicks •• °midst ; Mr. Pringlo
and Mr. Hobson as members of the* congregation. Mr.
Hobson, secretary of the church, made a few remarks,
and the meeting, which throughout warn sturtaisel with
much good feeling, terminated with the doxology.
The S.W. ~,a4o* Free espi:—Stockwell Green Chapel
pulpit, which was influentially occupied for • quarter of a
century by the Rev. D. Thorned', and subsequently by Mr.
Heard, an able agent of the Liberation Society, is now
occupied by Mr. Chambers, late of the quarry village of
Swamies. The transfer of this gentleman from the
Dorsetehire coast is attributed to the penchant of an
old Stockwellian for Swanage RAY, near which he has for
some years spent his annual balder, thereby making
acquaintance with Mr. Chambers. Upon boding that Mr.
Heard was on the wing from Stockwell, tag ....or was
found in the Swansea Independent minister, and the hope
is expressed that the Stockwell church will obtain the
right man for their partorate.
