An Unlucky Pair.

One of a superstitious nature might deem that there was something uncanny about a pair of young horses—a oolt and a filly—belonging to Mr A. McLean, They were some of Emir Bey’s stock, and had been eent down to Mr G. Hall to get broken in. The colt, valued at £2O, was being driven over the bridge and through an accident which did not arise from want of care the animal tell and had its neck broken. The filly was being handled and gave promise of turning out a fine animal, but Mr Hall was taken unawares and got his leg broken by a kick from the filly. That was some weeks ago, and Mr Robert Shaw was giving a hand at the stables while Mr Hall was laid up. On Tuesday morning’he'was ridiug the filly in the paddock on the Whataupoko, and it crossed its legs and fell with him, rolling upon him and dislocating his shoulder qnc| hll?Una' *•'— internally.
