[ We, observe that fancy and useful articles will' be provided m great variety, and that the affair promises to be attractive. Visitors,' therefore^" will have the advantage of. purchasing articles of clothing, ornamentation, etc., while, at the same time, they will be helping on a good cause; The object of the ' Bazaar is the raising of funds for a parsonage at Feilding. An Anglican clergyman -vrill shortly be stationed there, and of course a residence [ is a necessity. ,:'. ; ;.Th©;- Feilding .people are ! quite right m tryipg^ to acquire one: as property, > and fwe trusty that 'they, 1 will meet with a practical sort of sympathy from abroadas well as at home. ?

A serious accident occurred on Wednesday to a young man named Brassey, m the employ of Mr Trimble, the result of which will be, it is feared, the. loss of a portion of his leg. We understand the horse he -was riding fell with him, causing a com* minuted fracture, of the ancle. Dr. Akers is m attendance. Mr T. B. Proctor notifies his arrival m Palmerston, and may be seen at the Clarendon hotel until Monday night. Doubtless m his character as optician his coming will be a boon to many upon whose sight the film of age is gathering, or who from other causes suffer from weakness of yision. EvfcßY Temperance Law hitherto framed admits the necessity of stimulants as medicines, and no teetotaller of sense denies that they are essential elements of cure m a variety of diseases.
