Telegraphic communication with the outside world was suddenly cut off in Foxton on Monday afternoon. The Borough workmen in falling some large pines in the Old Cemetery happened to let one fall right across the wires, smashing the lot, the strain also carrying away two of the telegraph poles. Our local postmaster, however, was equal to the occasion, and with the help of one or two others repaired a line sufficiently to communicate with Palmerston. The linemen came down at night and next day carried out the necessary repairs. Mr 0. Austin’s telephone wire to his house, and the wire to this office also liad to be repaired.

Although many young people in the colony, who have enjoyed the privilege of a free education, may laugh at their parents’ lack of “book-learning,” it is nolaughing matter.

The poison contained in the sting of a bee does not usually affect to any extent a person happening to be stung, yet occasionally it is followed by dangerous and very painful results. A case ot this nature (says the Witness) happened near Manaia one day last week. A child, the infant son of Mr Muggerridge, of the Normanby road, was stung on the neck, and in a short time he was in great pain. As the poison circulated through the system, it caused the flesh to swell all over the body and limbs. This of course, caused considerable alarm, and the hoy was conveyed with all despatch to a medico, who speedily administered medicine, which allayed the suffering, and placed the child out of danger. His c mdition for the time being, was very serion ■. It was several days he fore the swelling on the body disappeared.
