That one cannot be too careful when handling rusty nails, has been brought in evidence ,by an accident to Miss Amy Wilde, a young daughter of Mr John Wilde, of Carterton. A few days back she was hammering a rusty nail, when it pricked her right thumb. No notice was taken of the scratch at the time, until it became painful. Medical aid was i eventually sought, and the thumb lancsd. It will be some weeks before it is well. The local Tennis Club has received a challenge from the Featherston Club for a match for Saturday next. Carterton is unable to arrange a match for that date, and has replied suggesting Thursday .week. The Rev. W. J.
