Beaconsfield Notes
« [FROM OUR OWN COKBE3PONDENT. j A rather singular accident occurred up here last week. A three-year-old child of one of the settlers was playing near some bee-hives, when the insects attacked her. She ran in to the house screaming, and her father picked her up. One of the angry bees stung him on the throat and the wound swelled so much that he could swallow nothing for about 36 hours. I hear however that no serious results have followed. The children tell me that the school is to be examined on Wednesday, the 21st inst. They seem to be attending more regularly now. The most stirring thing around here at present is the grass. The paddocks look very different to what they did a month or five weeks ago.
