A little boy, belonging to Te Aroha, had a narrow escape of being shot the other day as what follows will show. It appears that one of our volunteers was in his back yard shooting at a kerosene lin with what is known as a pea rifle. One of the bullets, missing its mark, went into the adjoining yard where some children were at play. The missile struck the hat of one little fellow, knocking it on to the back of his head. Fortunately it did no harm, beyond making a hole in his hat, and the boy played on with his companions, seemingly quite unconscious that he had had such a narrow escape. A rather serious accident took place at Ranriatea on Tuesday evening.

The house has about 100 rooms, and could accommodate at least 4000 men. The park is of about 1000 acres, stands on high ground, and altogether Lord Ranfurly’s seat is very suitable for such a purpose. Dungannon is about 40 miles from Belfast.

At Gisborne, on Saturday last, a man named John Haekett, was found on the river bank with his hands and face badly injured by the explosion of a dynamite cartridge. The police are of opinion that it is a case of a premeditated attempt at suicide. The man was removed to the hospital, and is progressing favourably.

A German has invented a safe that, on its lock being tampered with, throws open the door, seizes and drags and lock* in the burglar, and handcuffs and holds him in readiness to be eondue'ed to the police court in the morn■i'ig.
