Our Waipawa correspondent writes under Saturday's date: - A man employed by Mr HASTIE was returning to the Milbourne station with a team of bullocks and a dray, and he fell off the dray and beneath the wheels and he was shockingly hurt.

Mr AUSTIN, who saw the accident, had the sufferer conveyed to the Waipukurau Hospital, when it was found that his left shoulder was smashed, and that he was suffering from other painful injuries.

The correct name of the injured man is not known, but he is known all over the District as
"Tommy DOD."

Henry GALVIN accident

A FATAL ACCIDENT
An accident occurred late on Saturday night by which a man named Henry GALVIN, aged 22 years, met with his death.

At about a quarter past 11 o'clock on Saturday night Hans HANSEN, who resides on the Western Spit, while passing the Spit bridge found GALVIN lying stretched out of his back, unconscious, and evidently in a bad state.

HANSEN at once reported the matter to Constable RIORDON, who was on duty at the Spit, and he and Constable HARVEY immediately proceeded to the spot where GALVIN was lying, and had him taken to hospital.

He never recovered consciousness, and died at the hospital at a quarter past 5 0'clock yesterday morning. Inquiries made by the police go to show that the accident was due to decease riding a horse while under the influence of drink.

GALVIN, it appears, has been employed the past two summers as ferryman to the North British Freezing Works. Some short time since, when there was no employment at the freezing works, he went up to POHUI way bushfelling.

He came down with some mates at the end of last week for "a day in town," and was I town on Saturday night drunk, mounted on a horse. He was seen at about 10 o'clock at night by one of the drivers I the employ of the Napier 'bus Company.

Deceased got off the horse he was riding, and it was very evident then that he was under the influence of drink, but he mounted again and rode off down Carlyle Street and he then fell of his horse, and laid in the road till picked up and assisted to remount.

One of the men who helped put deceased on his horse saw that he was drunk, and after helping him into the saddle the man kindly held him and walked alongside him, keeping him safe till the Western Spit, where deceased was staying.

The man went back on his way home, but on reaching Battery Point he was surprised to find that deceased had ridden back from the Western Spit. He expressed his intention of riding up town again, but was persuaded to turn back and go home. He consented to do so, and rode on to the bridge again, following two other horsemen who were going in the same direction.

William BOYD, who lives at the Western Spit, saw the two horsemen leave the Western Spit end of the bridge, and shortly after he saw a horse, riderless, but with saddle and bridle on, come galloping along. He caught the animal, and then saw that one of the stirrup leathers was gone.

This stirrup leather was subsequently found near deceased, and from that, and the appearance of the planking of the bridge for several yards, it was evident that deceased fell of his horse, which his left foot caught in the stirrup, and that he was dragged along by the leg till the stirrup leather parted. He did not bleed a great deal, but his head was much bruised, and the cause of death will no doubt prove to have been concussion of the brain.

An inquest will be held at the hospital this day.

Mr E.H.CREASE, the well known coffee and spice merchant, died today. He was a colonist of 33 years' standing. He was one of the promoters of the Endeavor Inlet Antimony Company, and became a director of the new company formed to work the property.

The death is announced of Drum-Major James PHILLIPS, late of H.M. 78th Highlanders. He served under Sir James OUTRAM in the Persian war of 1857. He was through Indian mutiny, and took part in many important engagements, including CAWNPORE, the relief at LUCKNOW, and the final capture of the latter city under Sir Colin CAMPBELL, receiving for that campaign a medal and two clasps.

A man named Carl KILNAST, was killed today on Mr BOOTH'S estate at Belvedere, near CARTERTON, while engaged bush falling.

Mr E.M.SMITH M.H.R. for New Plymouth, in addressing the House during the financial debate last week, is reported to have stated that the reason why Mr G. HUTCHISON won in his action for libel against Mr BALANCE was because "there was only one Liberal on the Jury."

Apparently Mr SMITH thinks that one of the advantages of being a Liberal" is that if you go before a jury, and you have sufficiency of men of the "right color" on the jury, you may depend upon a favourable verdict whatever the facts. We are afraid that Mr SMITH does not libel "Liberalism" so much as easy-going Conservatives might imagine.

Shovel gangs and Govt

Editorial

Ministers make a great brag about the success of their Labor Bureau, and the large number of pick-and-shovel men for whom the Minister of Labor has found profitable employment.

It is, however, a notorious fact that whilst the pick-and-shovel gangs make from 8s to 20s a day at pick-and-shovel work in country districts, men of education-men who are thoroughly capable clerks-are walking about the streets of Wellington in a state bordering on starvation, and would be only too glad to accept five shillings a day for casual work in the Government departments.

Meanwhile the permanent hands and the favored casual hands in the department are worked up to 10 o'clock each night, greatly against their wills, for they would like very much to give themselves a rest, and their needy brothers an opportunity of making at least enough to keep body and soul together without becoming absolute beggars for State charity...more....... This is "Liberalism" with a vengeance-Wellington Press.

Baron HUBNER, whose death was recorded in yesterday's cable messages, visited New Zealand about 20 years since, when, making a tour round the world.

On his arrival at home he published a large volume of travels which obtained and deserved a wide circulation. In fact we do not remember any book of travels, covering so wide an area that has been published since then which is equal in merit.

He was a keen lover of natural beauty, and had an enthusiastic admiration for our New Zealand scenery. He was greatly impressed with the tranquil loveliness of the inner Sea of Japan, and the only spot he ever saw to vie with it was the Sounds in Cook Strait going up to Picton.

At the time he wrote New Zealand scenery was not praised so warmly as at present, and undoubtedly Baron HUBNER'S book did a great deal towards making it known.

The Baron, who was born in Vienna in 1811, began his career as a diplomatist in 1833, when he received from Prince METTERNICH a post in the Austrian "State Chancellerie."

He was Austrian Ambassador in Paris at the time of the Crimean war and was credited with having, by his influence, prevented the Emperor of Austria taking sides with Russia.
His greatest book, "Through the British Empire," is full of praise of the British rule in India, and of the colonies generally.

A trip up the Wanganui River-From the Otago Witness.

When we reached Hruharama (Jerusalem) we went ashore to pay our respects to Sister Mary Joseph, whose name and fame have recently been blazoned forth in the chemists' shops and advertising columns of the newspapers of the Colony.

We found the old lady at home dispensing medicinal aid to a number of waiting Natives in front of the Mission buildings, where there is a level grassy space over-shadowed by well-grown oaks of no inconsiderable size. We found her to be a pleasant, shrewd old Frenchwoman, speaking English with a slight foreign accent, and she received us graciously.

Asking us to excuse her for a few minutes, she attended to the wants of the waiting Maoris, and then invited us to inspect the schoolroom. She informed us that it was a difficult matter to do much with the Maori children, as they are subjected to little if any, parental control, being free to go to school or run wild as they list, and they choose the latter alternative-as I fear most children, whether white or dusky, would if left to their own sweet will.

The good sisters, of whom there are eight, have some half dozen white children of vicieus parents as the nucleus of their school, and we saw these children at play in the sunshine, looking healthy and happy. The old lady informed us that progress was rather slow, but that they had influenced the Maoris for good.

A neat little church, with a lofty, tapering spire, stands on an elevation above the village, forming a pleasing feature in the landscape, and is a monument to the self denying labours of the sisterhood by means of which the funds have been recently provided for its erection, the former church having been burnt down not long ago.

Besides the nuns there is a missionary priest resident here, who occasionally visits Ranana, where there is also a little church. The Rev. Father has also another flock besides his dusky parishioners, as he owns 700 acres of land which he has acquired from the natives, and which has been cleared of bush and sown down in English grass. Sister Mary hospitably presented us with some enormous and delicious apples, besides a glass of raspberry vinegar and water.

The pallbearers were:
Messrs PRICE, DUNCAN, PERCIVAL, NEWTON.

The late Mr DENNAN came out to the colonies nearly 40 years ago, landing first in AUSTRALIA in 1855. He spent several years there, being at one time on the goldfields at Ballarat, and afterwards assisting in the ordinance survey of VICTORIA.

He then came to New Zealand. And commenced work as a private surveyor, first in OTAGO and then in the WAIRARAPA District, subsequently being one of the earliest who surveyed the 70-Mile Bush.

He was afterwards employed by the Hawke's Bay Provincial Government, and under the late Mr WEBER, Chief Provincial Surveyor, made some surveys near the Mohaka river.

In 1874 he entered the General Government services as a draughtsman in the NAPIER Survey Office, where he remained continuously till within a few days of his death.

He became Chief Draughtsman in 1886, latterly being in addition chief clerk of the Lands branch. Like a true veteran he died in harness. The funeral ceremony was performed by Father DOUGHERTY.

This morning Mr Justice DENNISTON gave judgment in the case of BAILEY v ROSS, an action brought by the widow of the late Benjamin BAILEY, of Timaru, to have David Mitchell ROSS removed from the position of executor and trustee under the will of her husband, to have ROSS revoked on the ground that it did not express the testator's intentions………more His Honor pronounced against the will, which was dated in 1888, revoked the probate thereof, and granted probate of a previous will dated in 1885. Costs were given against the defendant.

At a meeting of the Knights tonight it was resolved that a letter be sent to Mr E. SANDFORD M.H.R., asking him to move in the direction of appointing a committee to consider the question of national pensions for old age.

Mrs CURLING'S Petition

Captain RUSSELL presented a petition today from Mrs Mary Ann CURLING, widow of the late Captain John CURLING, of NAPIER, who was for 43 years in the service of the colony as Resident Magistrate, Receiver of Land Revenue, and Commissioner of Crown Lands at NAPIER.

He also was a captain in the Napier Militia, and for the last 15 years was native teacher at the native school, Little River.

Mrs CURLING states that her husband died about three years ago at the age of 72, without leaving any means, and that she is consequently in her advancing years left in comparative poverty.

Invercargill-Thursday

News has been received by cable that David M'KELLAR, who with his brother Peter and A. M'NAB, was the first to use southland as a pastoral country, landing sheep at the Bluff in 1856, has been shot in NEW MEXICO.

David M'KELLAR latterly owned Brooksdale, Tapanui, on which he spent ?30,000, and left it in a model state.

Selling out he went to MEXICO some years back and took up a large area from the government. Over this land the Mexicans previously had free range for cattle, and they resented violently M'KELLAR'S fending in the land.

Letters received at the beginning of the year from him stated that it being the dry season the Mexicans had torn down his fences to let their cattle get at his grass, which was better than that outside

It is supposed that M'KELLAR lost his life in an altercation over this fencing question. He leaves a widow and six children and he was 60 years of age.

JACKSON bacon factory
HASTINGS

The other day I paid a visit to Mr JACKSON'S bacon factory. Although, or rather because, it is a private venture, it is of public interest, because it is an instance of the superiority of private enterprise to public companies in small industries.

While people have been talking about a bacon factory Mr JACKSON has established one. It is conveniently situated on the banks of the creek at Longland's bridge.

I first entered a large curing shed, in which were the flitches and hams of a hundred pips undergoing the salting and hanging process. Near this was the smoke-house, in which the smoke of sawdust imparts to the meat the aroma, flavour, and color as prized by connoisseurs.

Further on were the abattoir, in which the pigs are killed, and the scalding trough and the boiler and furnace for heating the water. As a matter of humanity I was glad to learn from Mr JACKSON that he stuns the pigs before killing them and thus spares them unnecessary pain.

Before leaving I asked him how he managed to keep his bacon cool in summer. His reply was that he would have none left, as it was all going off as fast as it was cured, finding a ready sale in HASTINGS, NAPIER, and elsewhere

A youth named WALSH, apparently about 18 to 19 years of age was brought up at the R M Court yesterday and is likely to form a very unfavourable idea of his relation to society.

All the windows broken, and anything but a comfortable lodging place and when arrested he told the following story: -"He came to NAPIER from PALMERSTON in search of work, having with him a little money.

HASTINGS
[From our own correspondent]
August 6, 1892.

Our main street presents satisfactory indications of the progress of the town. Next door to Mr MORGAN'S is a tobacconist's shop, which has been opened by Mr WHITE with a choice assortment of pipes, cigars, &d. A "ready money grocery store" further on is a step in the right direction, and I wish it may lead to the abolition of the baneful credit system which is as demoralising to customers as it is injurious to traders. Mr BLYTHE has opened a branch establishment in the same block. In JULL'S block Mr STUART has set up as a draper, tailor, and outfitter. His shop contains a large stock of ready-made clothes and of cloth ready for making into coats, vests, and trousers, by cutters and fitters in the room above. There are also several NAPIER men who have opened branches here with a view of gathering in some of the "plums."

Farndon

A draft lease of the Farndon Domain was submitted and instructions given to advertise the domain for lease for three years. The lease protected the rights of the tennis, football, and cricket clubs, and the domain was to be open to the public free except on ten days in the year, when a fee could be charged for admission. The Chairman explained that the Council would not benefit through having charge of the domain, as all revenue from it had to be expended on it.

Special orders were adopted merging the Clive and the Papakura Road Boards in the council

Mr CONROY brought up the question of Muddy creek, Clive. The Chairman had taken the advice of the Council's solicitors, and found that although the land was recently sold with the middle of the creek as a boundary, the creek was a natural watercourse and consequently a public drain, which could not be stopped up.

Mr VILLERS mentioned a drain at Wharepunga and a culvert near MARSHALL'S crossing which required attention and the overseer was instructed to see to both matters.

Some two years ago a man named JACOBSEN, of NORSEWOOD, started from there to go bush felling at PAHIATUA. He had three children at the time, two of whom went to WOODVILLE, and were provided for, while the third, a girl of about ten years of age, was left in the charge of somebody at NORSEWOOD, JACOBSEN promised to send ?1 10s a month for her support.

JACOBSEN had never since been heard of. He had been traced as far as PAHIATUA, but no further tidings of him could be obtained. It had transpired that when JACOBSEN left Norsewood he was the owner of a section (section 10, block 3, Norsewood) upon which there was a four-roomed house.

This house had been let by a man named WRINGER, who collected the rent. WRINGER stated that the key of the house was left with him by JACOBSEN when the latter left NORSEWOOD, and that he (WRINGER) had spent what rent he had collected in repairs.

At present three out of the four rooms had been let by WRINGER for 3s a week, the fourth room, which contained JACOBSEN'S furniture and effects, being kept locked. It was not know whether JACOBSEN was dead, but it seemed very probable that he was.

In the meantime the girl left at NORSEWOOD was being supported by the Board at a cost of ?1 10s per month.

After some discussion on the peculiarities of the case, a resolution was carried empowering the chairman to consult a solicitor on the subject, to ascertain how best to deal with the question of the property owned by JACOBSEN being utilised for the support of his child.

Waipawa News

Inspector EMERSON paid an official visit to the Waipawa and Waipukurau stations today and found everything satisfactory. He did not while here see half-a-dozen bicycles careering together along the footpath to the station, as I do sometimes, or lese there might have been "ructions."

The Native Land Court keeps very busy. An important case under the Equitable Owners Act has been occupying it for several days. Te Otini HUTANA and Co apply to be considered part owners of the native reserve behind the Waupawa Pa, known as Whatarakai, of 461 acres, and are represented by Mr Paratene NGATA. Mr F. O'B. LOUGHNAN appeared to oppose the claim on behalf of the children of Watene Te HAPUKA.

Judge O'BRIEN said the evidence on behalf of some of the claimants given yesterday was not satisfactory, and they wanted to hear more.

Mere IRAWAU came forward for the purpose, but her levity of manner on being sworn was such that the Court refused to hear her, and she was ordered down.

Pine PANE said he was a little confused yesterday, and asked that Iraia POURAKA be heard again. Iraia, being asked if he knew the four persons named as claimants, said that they were descendants of PANITANGAKORE, but he did not know if they had a right to the block; he was one of the original grantees, and remembered the Hapuka block being sold to the Crown, but did not know how portions of the block were reserved. The Court said that he had got the certificates of TAPAIRU, but they had the three others in, and they stated that the land was reserved for aboriginal natives, but which was not specified. Evidence given yesterday was unsatisfactory and useless, therefore they wanted to see KANENAMU, to see if they could get exact information, but this witness did not improve matters. Judgment postponed till tomorrow.

Due to Mr TURNBULL'S illness, the Trust Commissioner's Court had to be further adjourned.

Letter

"WORDS"

Sir,-"Duncan" is only making merry a little over my supposed derivation of "bachelor" from cow-herd or coward. I said nothing, however, about the last two words only that bachelor meant, "a small farmer," who (poor fellow) evidently could not afford to marry. Some do connect the "bachelor" or farmer with vacca, a cow, and so make him to have been a "cow-man" but of that I said nothing, and certainly did not connect coward with cow-herd, and so deserve "Duncan's" gentle last. I am afraid I still prefer the "farmer" Derivation to the "laurel-berry" or the "bas-chevalier" one, which "Duncan" pleasantly Suggest.-I am, &c.,

NAMES OF STREETS.

Letter

Sir,-May I point out to the members of the Napier Borough Council the desirableness of fixing in prominent positions nameplates of the various streets. The cost would not be excessive and the convenience much appreciated. The town is not so small but that it is difficult for a stranger to find his way about without some help, and I can assure those who know the place well, and therefore may not appreciate the difficulty, that is-from want of name-plates-on the wrong road, possibly maddening to find oneself possibly cornered in a cul-de-sac , with the necessity of retracing one's steps perhaps a quarter or half a mile. Besides, it gives the town-to the eye of a visitor-the appearances of being ten years behind the times. I trust something will be done in the matter-the community is not poverty stricken.

I am, &c.,

BOWLING Club Auckland content

While the operations connected with re-turfing the bowling green were in progress, the caretaker, Mr FORREST, found a gold ring on the inner circumference of which some initials were marked. He communicated the find to the secretary, Mr W. HODGSON, who wrote to all the clubs represented at the late bowling tournament. This resulted in the owner being found in the person of Mr J. O. LYELL, of the Auckland Bowling Club, who upon being apprised of the fact that his property was found promptly sent ?1 as a reward to the caretaker.

The Native Land Court has been sitting all day investigating the TAIPAIRU
Claim under the Equitable Owners Act.

The time of the R M Court was taken up for a long time on Saturday by a case in which a couple of Maoris were the litigants. It appeared the Reihania KAHUI was the proud possessor of a sow and a litter of ten young porkers. These animals strayed onto land owned by Matenga PEKA PEKA and commenced to investigate the nature of things. At this MATENGA allowed his angry passions to master him, and he rose up in his wrath and shot all those pigs.-judgment given in favour of Reihania

MOELLER error

An unfortunate mistake has been made by the Auckland Evening Star in its Publication of the telegram sent on Thursday by the Press Association in reference to the warrant issued for the arrest of Carl MOELLER, cabinetmaker, of Wellington, for forgery. It appears that by some mistake, either in transmission or in the Star office the telegram was published as referring to Carl ZOELLER. A gentleman by this name is a resident in Auckland, and holds a responsible situation as a traveller for the firm of Seegner, Langguth and Co., of that City. He is at present in Wellington and was considerably startled by receiving a telegram from his principals ......more

Waipawa

Mr J.B.RHODES, of Springhill, met with a very nasty accident on Thursday. While out on his run, his horse, which has a nasty trick of backing, backed into a barbed wire fence, and on feeling the barbs turned and dragged her rider's leg against the barbed wire over about a dozen of the barbs, thereby tearing and lacerating the flesh very seriously, with the consequence that he is now laid up and likely to be for some time.

The Hon. Mr WARD, Postmaster General, came to the district on departmental business on Saturday evening by the express train. He alighted at TOMOANA.

MARRIAGE

HAGUE-MERRITT-At St Mark's Clive, on August 18 1892, by the Rev. Cannon St HILL, William HAGUE to Elizabeth (Lily), second daughter of G.MERRITT, both of Clive.

Drowning
A very sad drowning case occurred yesterday morning at Kahurauaka, a station about 13 miles beyond Hastings.

It appears that at about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, a party consisting of Mrs G. NAUMANN, Mrs ALEXANDER, her infant, and another child named Flossie, left Mr W. COUPER'S station in a trap driven by a man named William SHERMAN, the destination being Hastings.

The Tuki Tuki had to be crossed, and as it was swollen owing to the recent rains the driver took the horse and trap into the stream a little below the usual fording place, as the current did not appear so strong there. When nearly in the middle of the stream the trap was capsized, and all its occupants were thrown into the water. Mr W. COUPER, two young men named STEPHEN, and another man named PILCHER saw the accident and at once launching a canoe went to the rescue of the persons struggling in the water.

They succeeded in saving all but the little girl Flossie ALEXANDER who was carried away by the current and drowned. The body was recovered by Mr PILCHER some 300 yards down the stream, and now lies at Mr W. COUPER'S house awaiting an inquest, which will probably be held this afternoon.

RM Court yesterday, a man called as Robert CARR but possessed of a string of aliases, was brought up on remand charged with stealing a waterproof vest. Accused, against whom fifteen previous convictions were put in, was sentenced to six months' hard labor.

According to the Post, in the early days of the settlement of this district, Edward S. CURLING purchased a property and died, leaving it heavily involved in debt. His brother in England, Robert CURLING, took over the estate, paid all the debts, and expended large sums of money in developing the property, but never came to New Zealand.

Mr J.C.ANDREW is now petitioning the House through Mr HOGG on behalf of Mr R. CURLING, against the payment of absentee tax, as the latter claims that he is now so old that to compel him to come here would be "dangerous to life," and he cannot "traverse half the globe" to avoid tax "unless prepared to die and become incorporated with the soil of New Zealand.

BIRTH

MILLER-At Port Ahuriri on August 28th, the wife of J.R.MILLER, of a son.

The Hastings District School opened today with an attendance of 398 pupils, the highest on record. Of these nearly 50 were new pupils, the children of recent arrivals in the district. This speaks volumes for the progress of Hastings.

There is one matter the full importance of which the parents of some of the children do not seem to realise, although it has more than once been mentioned by the head-master, and this is the importance of entering children for their first term immediately after the holidays following the examination. They thus are enabled to start fair in the curriculum and keep abreast of one another, whereas those who do not join till Christmas find themselves toiling hopelessly in the rear of their more fortunate comrades, and consequently "don't like school." This keeping back the children is unfair to the teachers, and places the children themselves at a disadvantage.

It is therefore to be hoped that parents whose children are of the school age will not fail to send them immediately

August Election Squibs

The Dunedin Star's London correspondent sends the following parody on Rudyard Kipling's famous "Tommy Atkins," which was circulated during the recent election at Home, and is really a very smart imitation, with some very hard knocks for both sides in it: -

THE WORKING MAN.
(A song for both sides, with apologies to the Barrack Room Balladist.)

I walked in a percosshin with a banner and a band,
And they said I was a noosance in 'igh 'Oborn and the Strand;
I spouted at a meeting which was in Trafalgar Square,
But they sent the slops to charge me and to clear me out of there,

Oh! it's "Demmygog" and "Sochulist,' and "Damn the lazy lout,"
But its "Bless the British workman," with the ballot box about,
Oh! It's "Bless the British workman," with the ballot-box about.

I struck for better wages and they said I was a fool,
And the crafty hagitaiur merely used me as a tool;
And when the kids was starvin' and we hadn't sup nor bite,
They only shrugged their shoulders and they said it served me right.

For its "Ruin to the country," and its wickedness and crime.
But it's "Sacred Rights o' Labor" just about election time,
Just about election time, my lads, just about election time.
Oh! it's "Sacred Rights o' Labor," just about election time.

I'm lazy and I'm 'ulking, and a noosance and a cuss,
And I s'ts on trade and commerce like a blessed inkybus,
I'm a draggin' down the Hempire, and a swellin' of the rate,
And a 'orny 'anded 'umbug, what the hupper classes 'ates.

For its "Working men are duffers," and "They're n'ver worth a groat;"
But its "British bone and sinew" when they want your bloomin' vote,
They want your bloomin' vote, my lads; they want your bloomin' vote.
Oh! Its "British bone and sinew" when they want your bloomin' vote.

Earl of Glasgow
Page 3

Home papers to hand by last mail have several notices of our new Governor, the Earl of Glasgow, from which we learn that he forms an interesting link with the days of Queen Anne.

In his earlier years there was little prospect of his ever attaining the title. Born in 1833, his father was merely a very distant cousin of the then Earl-a young man who had sons of his own.

One of these sons became fifth Earl, and dying childless was succeeded by his half brother, the sixth Earl, who had only two daughters, and so the heir to the title had to be sought for in the time represented by our governor.

The ancestor from whom the present Earl derives his title was his great grandfather, the second Earl, who died in 1740. His younger son, the Hon. Patrick BOYLE, had a son David BOYLE, M.P. who son married Mary, daughter of Sir Robert ELPHINSTONE, and became in 1833 father of the present Earl, Governor of New Zealand.

WELLINGTON
Henry WILLIAMS, a lad of 16, employed by Mr HAYES, brass founder, was playing in Lambton Quay during the dinner hour to-day and ran his head against a telegraph pole in front of his employer's shop. He broke his neck and died instantly.

Dr ROBERTSON, a well known medico, called at the police station about 10 o'clock last night and demanded police protection, claiming that some people had tried to stab him, and he only escaped by taking to his heels. He appeared to be suffering from the effects of drink and was detained at the station, a constable placed in charge of him. When the constable's attention was not directed at him Dr. ROBERTSON drew a lance from his pocket and inflicted a severe wound on his throat. Medical assistance was at once obtained and the wound stitched up. Dr. ROBERTSON was removed to Hospital and the wound is not believed to be dangerous, unless inflammation sets in.

Mr Samuel OATES, a pioneer settler residing at Alfredton is dead.
