J, M'Kee, The rev, gentleman was driving from the Hook, where he had been conducting service, when oue of tho reins slipped from his hands, and in trying to recover it the horse Btarted; throwing Mr M'See. out of tho trap, both wheels passing over him, and breaking two of his ribs. The. horse trotted off leisurely, and Mr M'Kee was obliged to walk some distance when Mr M'Kay drove him into Waimate, where ho was nblo to oondnot the usual evoning so. vice.

A barmaid atthe.Paoifio Hotel Auckland, named Isabella Parry, was arrested yesterday afternoon. A lodger at the hotel, Charles McGaffie, charges bar with threatening to riddle him with bullets, and a loaded revolver was found in hor bedroom, Another barmaid at one of the laading Dunedin hotels, feeling insulted by some remark made to her by an individual notorious for his attentions to the fair sos, told him he would hear more of it. Sbo wailed upon the alleged insulter this afternoon at bis office, and producing a horsewhip from beneath her dress, used it pretty freely aorosß his face, neck, and shoulders, and to such an extent that he did not consider flight ignominious. The affair has naturally caused a good deal of excitement.

As the shearing season is approaohine, woolprosiea will soon, as a matter of course, be in great demand, and it is only natural that Ihoße that aro calculated to sive bnife time and labor, and are easily adjusted should be. preferable. In the " Solway" press we have a machine that has taken first prize at the Dunedin, Wairarapa, ind Canterbury shows, and is, according to the judges remarks, " Specially commended for stations; combining speed, good powor, and cheapness ; not likely to get out of repair, but •aaily put in order if it should do so." \> e have seen a bale of wool pressed by one of these machines (previous to its being sent to Napier), into which iowt more wool wbb jambed than is usually the case with the ordinary presses. Consider-' ing that ono man alone works these maobmes, and the manner in which the wool is pressed, the wool growing community have indeed cause to thank the patentee(Mr D. Donald) for the boon conferred oa them, Mr W. F. . York Ksripuni, is tho sole maker in this province from whom all information can be obtakiod.

A meeting of pauoni interested in holding a poultry show in connection with the Masterton Horticultural Show was held last evening at the Club Hotel, when about a dozen gentlemen wore present, Mr Everett, President of the Society, ocoupying the chair. It was re-' solved, after djicussion, that the Society be recommended to acsept Mr Elkme' offer lo show this year for exhibition only. Mr Elkjns stated that he would put every good pen he had into tho show in order to make it a ineccss. It was not his intention to compete for the prizes this year, as he had perhaps too good a start, having just carried off the bulk of the prizes for poultry in Wellington. He would put his bitdi in to ensure a good ihoiv of exhibits. It was resolved that the catalogue of the Wellington Poultry Olub should be adopted for poultry, pigeons, and canaries, and that prizes should be 7s 6d and ss, three entries or no second money prize. There was some discussion as to the size of pens, several expressing the opinion that the pens used at the Wellington show were not deep enough for cooks with large tails. It was decided to recommend that the pens should ,not exceed, 2ft 6m long, 2ft 6in high> and 2ft ens 'it" t h '^ elIi ° g r ton Lys and O'ConneliJe judges, After some'further disouision as to canvassing for special prizes, &0,, the meeting Bdjonrn«d. ;
