WAINGARO

Accident— On Sunday last, while Mr S. ] . Wilson was driving his wile and mother fiom the landing at tin head of the Raglan harbour, the bti-spygot into a deep hole at the rnd of a bi idge, and rose on to the bridge with such a sudden jeik thpt both ladies were thrown out with such violence that Mrs Wilson, junr., was unable to rise, and though no bones aic broken, the internal shaking and bruises on hn' bick and side are very severe. She was conveyed homo to the Hot Springs Hotel o:i a drag skdge, that being the smoothest mode of progression on our apo'ogy for a road. Mrs Wilson, seur., had to remain it Mr Picken's for the night, and it is intended to remove her to her sou's place at To Keri Keri. The accident might have L-ecn a fatal one, and it is to be hoped the authorities may soon wake up to the fact that it is necessary to keep the road in souic sort of repair. If some of the bulky Ministers had to pass over it I opine i'. would soon be in a better state ; but, we unfortunately, are not at present of the r'djht ruhiir, and are not therefore considered when favours arc being doled out. PISIiULTUKE. Mr rf. L Wilson, with the assistance of some other neighbours, had some boxes pi iced ready to receive some diamond trout ova, butieoeivel word on sending to Ngiruawahia for them that they had all hatched, win h wa9 a great dissappointuioiit, as numbers lure arc looking forward with plosure to the time when the Waingiro and its tributaries will 'c fully stocked with fi-h. Some of those which wi re put io it about four years ago have been seen, tluy are now tins fi»h about 18 inches long ; 500 young fish ivcie to have been placed in the rive.' at the end ot last s a on, but the road hi cam i imp-is able before tiny could be sent, and they are to be sent to Ngarnaiiahia from Okoiire on Monday, an-1 liberated in the Waingaro as "toon as possible afterwards. Boxes have Lecn placed in a tniall creik r.car Nraiuawahia to kcip them in til! they can be cartied along the roid, Mr \\ ilson having undertaken to bring them out. riuiOKKS.s.—Considerable areas of budi have been and are being folbtl this season, so that ncirly 10(H) acres more gr?ss will be laid down, this full in this riding enabling'he " stciil p st* "toin - eicisc the number of their siock, and so help to pay the yearly increasing taxation. The settlers here ask for no Government a : d, except in the matter ot roads and bridpts, and have hitherto had but a miserable dole. Un'ortuintcly this is net a pet settlement, such : s the Cheviot, and others of that ilk-fostered by Ministers at the taxpayers' expenses, but it is to be hoped the autocracy which has been established has about reached its end.— (Own Correspondent).
