NELSON.
The reselection of Town acres, which commenced on Monday lost, was completed on the day following. We hope the effect of this measure will be to promote increased cultivation in and about the Town, which will add greatly to its appearance. If persons would only make a practice of planting shrubs round their acres, in a few years a prettier spot would nowhere be found. Examiner, May 13. We understand that the Bishop, on his late visit to this settlement, appointed the Rev. F. H. Butt surrogate for this district. — Ib. 20. Accident. — On Wednesday evening last, about dusk, as Dr. Monro was returning to the Waimea in his gig, accompanied by Mrs. Monro, the vehicle was overturned a little way out of town, by going over two or three loads of gravel which had been left in the middle of the road for the purpose of metalling it. Fortunately no injury was sustained, as the horse was proceeding very gently at the time. The practice of shooting out a lot of grave! on the road, and leaving it in a heap all night, is most dangerous, and we wonder that an accident has not arisen from it before. We hope that no repetition of it will occur. Ib.
