The Wairarapa Daily. TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1883. MR EDWARD SHAW.
Mr Edward Shaw, ex-Judge Shaw, appears likely to sucooed in his candidature for the representation. of -the Reef ton i electoral district. Ho' is.' a Ministerial candidate, Mt for all that we cannot i feel, very proudiof him. According,to published .reports he has assured the electors whose .suffrages he is seeking that he will-consider himself, more a, representative of their jpa|tiJiilar" cohstitbenqy ithjin of the colony, and that he" had peculiar facilities for begging at head quarters for his district,, /tffc was ;.nqt,"! he said, at .least on terms with Ministers," leading his audiencejono doubt to assume ,that ; he dined-with the Colonial Treasurer, took' a quiet cupof iea'regula'rly with :tKe Premier, and ,tuat ,he and -'the Publics' :Works Minister were like Saul and Jonathan; With respect to the duties of arepresefr tative, hesaid b-" At present I stand, before you as one seeking to be iyour representative ratherthan a representative of the colony at large, and in the former capacity I desire to confine my self as much as possible to dealing only with matters having a striotly local bearing and interest." There' isae'erv itain,amountof,honeßtykamah : makihg statements of this kind, in declaring that heis .desti,tpteXpoliticalpiineiple,;»nd; .inly dewteito.the'interests of h&afli stituents, or in other words to Uinftwlf*?

MrF. H. Wood had a capital sale'of general merchandise, at his rooms Greytown, on Saturday, & quantity of surgical instrument*, and a medieal library being : • amongst lota Bold.. \ : : ;' 5; ! ..' ! '' ■' At Ihveroargill yesterday a !boy had a narrow escape from death by a peculiar explosion. A number of lads: had constructed a gun made of gaapipej with tf , plug.punohed from a boiler plate soldered in for .the breach; they then filed a touch-hole through tho pipe and started off sporting; I'hc programme was for , one to hold the barrel while another applied the matoh to thetouoh-holeof the.; loaded gaspipe. : The boy had the pipe in position at his eye taking aim, and when the explosion occurred the breaoh blew 1 out and was driven into his forehead out of sight. Dr Botterell probed the wound and found the plug, which he extracted;' The solder forms an ugly rim round it,' and: weighs three-fourths of an ounce. Strange to say, .the lad ia doing well as yet, although the wound is an inch and a-half. deep. A case illustrative of the working of the compulsory clause of, the Education Act was'heard before Mr Boethara, R.M.; at Ohristohurch the other day. An eight-year-old boy had been sent to the State' school at St, Albans by his parents, but he was a determined truant, Mrßeetham was appealed to, and he ordered that the boy should be sent to sohool regularly. The order not having the desired effect the paronts were charged with neglecting to obey the order. It was urged in extenuation that the parents had done all in their power to get the boy to sohool; that the truancy had taken place since the school opened this year; that previous to that time ho bad been regular' in his attendance, but in tho term just closed ho had only attended during'te'n days. The Magistrate held that no offenoo had been committed, The clauses.said that the pupils should attend for a period equal to half the total period in any one year during which the school bad been' kept open; therefore, until more than half the Bohool year had expired, theVeoould not be complete disobedience to an order made tinder the Act. Parents could not be prevented choosing their own lime to aend children to sohool; and in this oase was quite possible the child might be kept at home the first half of the year and sent to sohool the remainder of. the year. At any rate, at present there was nothing to answer. ■'.•:/; .■; > ~ j •.
