NORTH PETHERTON.
THE TOWN BAND. - The North Petherton Town Band, under Mr. WILLSHIRE, played selections in Fore-street on Saturday evening, and greatly enlivened the inhabitants.
ACCIDENT. - As Mr. LANDSEY was riding at Thurloxton on Thursday the saddle slipped, and Mr. LANDSAY unfortunately fell and broke his arm near the wrist. He was driven home by Mr. PORTER, where his arm was set by Dr. HAWKINS. We are pleased to know he is progressing satisfactorily.
THE TELEGRAPH EXTENSION. - Practically the whole of the telegraph poles are now fixed in position between North Petherton and North Newton, and are therefore nearly ready for having the wires laid on them. This extension to North Newton from Petherton will be a great boon to Newton, and will be greatly appreciated by the inhabitants there.
