Young Moss, the perpetrator of the domestic tragedy at Ashburton, arrived in Wellington from London about a year ago, bringing letters of introduction tp Mr Hughes, the well-known patent agent on Lambton-quay. He was engaged to be married when, in England, but the narriage did not take place until' a few weeks ago. His betrothed came out in the Tainui on her last trip, and the wedding took place at Christchurch shortly afterwards. Moss was a schoolmaster in England. It is said that his brain was affected before he left Home. The French dairy farmers in the Department of Finisterre claim to have proved by lengthy experiments that when cows drink hot water they yield one-third piore milk than when refreshed with cold only. Greedy dairymen niust’ beware of scalding the throats of their animals in their haste to avail themselves of this discovery, which is vouched for by the English Consul at Brest. The proportions, we are told, are half a pail of boiling water to the same quantity of cold. A shocking accident is reported as having happened to Mr Irvine Wade, of Mundi Mundi Station, New South Wales. Whilst returning to the head station after delivering rations, Mr Wade became bushed, and set to work to make a camp for the night. He lighted a fire, and it is supposed he was siezed with an epileptic fit, to attacks of which he was subject, and fell into the fire. He must have remained there some time, for on gaining consciousness h© found tlia-t his right hand and wrist had been burnt to a cinder, and the arm badly scorched to the, shoulder. The newly-lighted fire apparently must have soon died away, or Wade must have been burnt to death. He did not quite know where he was, and in fearful agony waited until daylight. He then took the horse he had been driving and started off to find the station, which he reached after a five mile ride. He was at once conveyed to Milverton, where his wounds were dressed and he was sent on to Adelaide. It is feared that his arm will have to be amputated at the shoulder.
