Being brought "to book " ha I evidently tried his feelings, and he had tried many liquors, and very nearly got punished for appearing intoxicated. The express train, in going into the Oaniaru station, struck a dray at th j level crossing. Two boys Were In the dray &nA botli were thrown 01U, one escaping unhurt, but the other was badly injured.

In the Akaroa election petition case, the Court found that there have bnen an irregularity through 10 out of the. 11 booths being closed at (5 o'clock, or an hour before the proper time, but failed to see that thi-i irregu arity affected the election The majority for Mr Joyce was 107, an I it did not appeal' to their' Honours 'reasonably possible that the number prevented from recording their votes by reason of the i regularity complained of was anything approaching thatmajorjty. Their Honours came to the conclusion that the ca-o for the petitilioner not only failed to show thnt there was reasonable ground for believing the return of Mr Joyce to be affected by the irregularity but they were also satisfied that there was reason to believe that had such irregularity not occurred the majority for Mr Joyce would not have been substantially reduced. Mr Joyce was therefore deolared properly returned, and the petitioner was ordered to pay the costs. '•' Aulus," in one of his latest " Talks on 'Change," writes: — "There was a great ram sale on, and as Mcßamsey intended to start a stud flock at Woolywoola, he was present, and as s commencement bought two well bred rams, one for 400 guineas and one for 300 guineas. Very well contended with his bargain, he handed over the charge of the costly animals to his son Jim, with instructions to take them home in a spring-cart. Jim started off accordingly, but unfortunately, hn had to stop so often to explain about th? purchases, and to drink the rains' health, that he finally got a little mixed, and not a little jolly. Then a brilliant idea struck him— he would have a ram fight. >-'o he took the rams out of the cart, set them at each other, and sitting on the fence enjoyed the spectacle, yelling in his glee, 'Go it, 400 guineas! Well done, 300!' till the 800-guinea ram dropped the 400-guinea one stone-dead. Then he went home sober and sad. And the relations between him and the old man are considerably strained." The Hawera Star asserts that the lasi meeting of the Wanganui Education Board, the chairman of a committee, when complaining a previous quarrel with ont he was then referring to, said that '• thai was a disreputable chawed-up sort oi pencil-case quarrel," and when impressing the board with an idea of how general the recriminations became between number! of his committee, he. | said: " There is t baffling element in the triangularity of the quarrel," and further on,* in order to show l«s appreaiation of the difference h.tweei "the _exalte.d .position of a chairman of t school oommittea when compared witl that of the teacher, he said ; " \Vli?n 1 came to prefacing my letter, after ' Madam — I never would make it ' Doav MuU n '— I asked myself, ' Is it proper for a ohairman to use this phrase, ' I beg, 1 to i teacher ?"
