The wife and child of a bullock-driver named Tie, living at Waipori diggings, were found dead in their bedroom early one morning. The mother, who was rather a heavy woman, was lying on the top of the child, which was in its cradle by the side of the bed, and both were quite dead. The woman is said to have been addicted to strong liquors, and had been the worse for drink a day or two previous.
A youth named Baily has hanged himself at Chris tchurch.
The Wellington Independent says : — "We understand that the Hon. W. Gisborne has received a requisition from a number of electoi'S of the Manawatu to stand for that district, but that ho was forced to decline, as he had already received a requisition from Tai'anaki to stand for Egmonfc, and had arranged to accept it."
