A man broke his neck at Rangiora last i Monday by falling over a rail. i We learn on good authority that the { Writs for the general election will be issued to-morrow. No further registrations of electors can now take place until after the election. An advertisement elsewhere announces the sale, on December 7, 'of twenty-eight sections of Government town lands near i the Waimate Railway station. Another candidate is in the field for the representation of the Levels Riding in the Geraldine County Council. Mr H. Cowley announces his intention, in response to the request of a number of his neighbors, to contest the election, his “ticket” being that of “local” representation. We regret to learn that a portion of the first floor of Messrs Miles, Archer and Co.’s new grain store gave way under the pressure of grain stored upon it, between Saturday night and Monday morning. The portion that has succumbed is that next the railway line, and the injury is so extensive that the expense of repairing it will be considerable. The following is a translation of the Proclamation, written in Maori, and posted in various places at Parihaka: —“ Notice to the Maoris of Waikato, Wanganui, Ngararua, and other tribes who are dwelling at Parihaka. This is a notice and a request that you leave Parihaka and the vicinity, and return to you: neighbourhoods. Do not be deaf, but listen to the request at once. Ngatiruanui and Ngatiawa, and other tribes of the West Coast district, must return to their.own settlement, there to await the instructions of the Government concerning them. —John Bryce, War Minister.” The “ Lyttelton Times ” special correspondent at “ the front,” who has done such good service within the past few days, was yesterday caught in Parihaka, arrested, carried to the rear of the picket lines, and then released. He says it was the intention of Mr Bryce to burn down the whares occupied by stranger Natives yesterday, but at the last moment, when the men were all ready for work, something occurred (supposed to be the receipt of a message fromWelliugton) which caused him to dismiss the men at once, Mr Bryce and Mr Rolleston “ both looking excessively annoyed,” posting off to Pungarehu.
