Bradcock met with a painful accident last night, by which he lost the top joint of the first finger of his left hand Tlie mill wa- '■ orking late last nit>hr, and Mr Bradcock, having stopped ihe stripper, went up to it to clear it of ?omn ilax which had got jammed in the rollers.

Moa will be placed in her here, instead of waiting until she is towed to Wellington. !*he is now on the beach by the old ferry. The Borough Council invite tenders for leasing the Cemetery reserve. Some of the oddities of the election contest. In Wellington a Mr McLean, manager of a loan office, is posing as a working man's candidate. He asserted that it was a disgrace to the colony that so many loan offices existed. Gratitude ! Typo reminds us that when the Wellington branch of the N.Z.T.A. reI'used to allow any interference with the press, by the strikers, they were taxing themselves 2/6 a week for the strike fund — vet for taking tnis scand they were hooted in the streets by the very men who were receiving their charity ! Amongst the many figures quoted by the labour candidate we have either understood or misunderstood him to say, that he would knock off about £250,000 of Custom duties ? 'I he statement was made in connection >vith the necessaries of life. If we shou d have been fortunate enough not to have misunderstood him, we are anxious ■o know what he looks upon as necessaries >f life, and whether, on the part of hi clients ho includes spirits ? We are led t isk this, as the duty on tea, coffee, cocoa njjar, molasses, and treacle do not com. to near the sum mentioned. We find that another resident claims to aavc peas as forward as the two gentlemen we n<i»)"fl last wi-ok. We would like to know if there are any more. The Messrs Robinson's propose to start shearing next wetk. We have desired to say something about the weather we have experienced for th.^ past fortnight, but we cannot say what \vt what we think, and our only hope is that it may soon alter. It may be all by asserting that this is he season for the equinoctial gales, and they are here. Captain Corcoran in the Piuafore sing? • Once a cat was kill'd by care, only braw leserve tiie fair." " Very true so they do plies Mrs Cripps and so say we. The ery brave seem to be numerous in this disict as they have not only deserved but obtained their " fair," and as a consequence Here will be many weddings within thenext two months. The American fashion of openly announcing engagements has no. v.>l -'caught on " here, so that n " wink iften good as nod " and even in these day* men are grown up catchy catchies," i nd get caught. A few nf the hemp-millers here have re- • ivi'd letters from a ellington merchant, n |uiring the price at which they woulii diver f. o. b. Foxton, the green leaf of th. lux, properly dried. A sample of tliui. quire.ni'mts we have seen, and it is n ,icun loaf split in half longways, and .arvustfd, and leaves the leaf with an •live tinge. There is nothing more rcluired. "We are' not sure of the market iiis is intended for, but it bears an American stamp, in consequence of the McKiu- ;■•>• tariff. However we suppose it L ■!<">re!vr:cpf'rimi.>nlal and it 13 n r )t likely t' ■«; a success. We may add that we trust i will not be, as it would mean the dead oss. to every miller of lliu plant he had rected- 'for stripping and scutching the lax. |'he sample we saw was very brittle, md would we think become more so, by the ime it had been kept longer. The delightful zephyr that we are ex K-rieing gave proof last night of its power, iy taking the roof of the lean-to of Mr iichard Gray's house and depositing it, in some chains away, upon the road. He said the night was very bad, aud when ■vi.-t nf th • roof went, he wrnt, nnd took BheUer elsewhere. In another column will be o nd » telegram reporting the reception accorded to Mr Stevens at Palmerston last night. It appears that his views were pleasing to the net'ting> but we should have been better plea ed had those views beou mentioned. However a vote of thanks and mniidenio was hnrdly expected at I'almerston.
