It appears that tho little fellow was out shooting with an eider brother, walking somowhafc. in front of him, when tho latter fell and' tliG gun ho to carrying exploiting, the chargo was' lodged in his brother's side, killing him almost immediately... An inquest i 3 to bo held to-day. 'On Thursday night balween cleren and twelve, the moon, pursuant to an announcement previously made, was eclipsed. Tho night was clear and the phenomenon was'witnessed with intorest by a laree number of spectators. Dr, L, Sinclair, who is doingasplondid business in Mastorton—and the. same story comes from every other placo where ho has boon—i 3 a good dentist and a good advertiser, His business success may fairly bo attributed to this combination, Everybody knows that the doctor is an intelligent advertiser, and a geod many peoplo are finding out that ho is a capable dentist, Ourrepot ter has paid a visit to the rooms occupied by the doctor in Masterton, and was courteously sliown all the ingenious and novel appliances by which tho art of dentistry in these latter days has been robbed of its old terrors Tho inspection was gratifying because it was a convincing proof that though Dr, Sinclair is a bold advertiser, he does not in his announcement overstate what ho is in a position to do for his patients, : To review the contents of the consulting room would bo merely to reiterate the holdings in his advertisement, He has wonderful mechanism to which long drills, brushes and hammers nro attached, adapted for performing tho most delicate ad difficult operations Bpeedily efficiently, and with a minimum amount of discomfort tothopationt. This mechanism has neiihor been seen or hoard of in this district prior to .Dr Sinclair's visit, and it is only right that ho should have tho credit oi introducing it. Our reportor boing slightly I skeptical a3 to painloss dentistry, 1 Dr Sinclair' whipped' out a molar stump for him as an illustration. Our reporter was unable to B,iy whothor the process was attended tnlh any pain or not, Tho stump vanished before ho could concenlrato his attention upon it. His opinion is that if Dr Sinclair extracted a deep rooted molar a little more slowly and deliberately, the patient might feel that lie was saying good byo to an old friend, and feel a little- hurt, but tho lightning rapidity of tho turn of the doctor's wrist and tho application of an aromatic fluid to the gum, which numbs it pro torn, does not givo the patient, who is anxious to know whothor it hurts, a chance to find-out.

The Wesley,in Church membors cele- ! brated Good Friday, as usual, with a lea mooting, which was well patronisod liy both adults and juveniles, the catering by Iho ladies of tho conqroga-tion bsing oxtremely liboral and satisfactory. In 'he evening (here was a good muster of visitors in tbo church to listm to the j customary addresses, The chair was nbly filled by Mr Short, who in his introductoiy epeech urged the congregation to co operate with their minister and assist him in tho discharge of his onerous duties by their symnathios and their prayers. The EovDavid Fulton next , delivered an eloquent address on euibiH-. iasm in religion, pointing out in graphic - terms lis advantages and .its dangers, He bore testimony, in illustrating his theme, to tho glorious and grand revival in'tiatod by John Wesley. This address was highly appreciated _ by the andienco, --and "was greeted at its conclusion by prolonged applause. His final'advice to the Wesloyans was to be ti'uo to thoir own church and to their own minister. If their religious onthusiasm carried theni beyond this it would not be worth much to them The Rev Mr Young, of Grey town, followed with an address on the same keynoto, in which he riveted the atteution of his audience by the earnnstuo3s and aptness of his illustrations. The other Bpecoh of the ovening was a pastoral address from the Rev L. M. IsiU, in which questions between the inintster and the.congregation wnro treated in that manly and outspoken manner which is so characteristic of the reverend gentleman, The customary vote of thanks to the chair, tho-ladies,- aiiid the gentlemen who had addressed the meeting, was moved by the RevMrlsitf, and seconded by Mrß. P. Perry. .The choir at intervals gave enjoyable aacred selections, and -their singing was really-excellent, indicating a very, high standard of proficiency,' We are glad to'leanr that, botli tho-tea meet- ' ing and (he evening 'gathering were from a financial -point Of view extremely' sue-, cessfuli ■

A man named King, a bushfalior, lately of Christchurch, was arrested yesterday at Mastorton on a charge of robbery from Messrs Bapp & Hate's store Queen-street. Several things had been missed recently from the- store, notably a fowling pieco, and King was noticed in the shop just boforo ihe'loss of the gun was discovered. Though closely watched, however, .the gun: was-never seen in King's possession nor did ho offer to sell it to any one, and tho theft coiisoquontly bo brought homo to hinv Ap parently becoming bolder and oyide.iity having regard to his personal appoara(ice, ho next lifted a new hat in wljich "he appeared in public, Mr'Rapp at-once identified this article and Rave the thief .in charge. King then confessed to takini; the gun, and conduced Mr Kappand Ser'goaut McArdle to tho phico whero he had concealed ii in tho grass noar Mr'P. Gray's old resilience, King was locked up, and on being searched was found to have a variety of small articles in his possession, including :i cricket ball, scarf phi ai.d'i two nail brushes."Ho was brought up before Mr Wardoll, It M,', !o«ihy, and sentenced to two months' hard labor. ■Tho Salvation Army soldom do things' by halves, and anyone who was in Mr. Billington's paddock yesterday would admit that their picnic was' no exception tolhortilo, Tho Maslerlon brigade was sv/olled by a large contingent from Wellington, accompanied by the band and; several 'bright oyed and earnestlooking Hallelujah lasses, who arrived tho previous- night by special Irani. They, with many friends and visitors, mustered in strong force at the barracks soon aftor uine, when, after a short parade through the town, they proceed, under the command of Captain Smith, to tho paddock, •he hand playing "Welcome 'Home" and several other well-known Salvation airs, Arriving at tho paddock various'outdoor sports woro quickly.oommencod, including cricket, fuotball, &c, also games in which both sexes could take part", such as Jolly Miller and Kiss in tho Ring. Tlio latter, however was playod minus the kissing, it being contrary to the Ualvalion Army rules to kiss in public. This made the game something liko tho play of Hamlet, with tho character of Hamlot omitted. Luuoheon was served out about 130, when, judging from tho way tho numerous sandwiches and cakes

disappeared tho Army aud their friends had not left their appetites at homo. Luncheon over, several hyimn were sung and short addresses given by the officers'. Just about this time a little incident

happened which threatened, momentarily, to disturb the harmony of the picnic, It appears that several of tho visitors started a dance to tho accompaniment of air accordion, Danciug it seems is against the Salvation Army rules also,:so it was promptly stopped hy t'no officers-, when, after a little parleying, tho would-, bo dancers, wisely gave way to what many will regard as a harsh regulation. Tea was served soon after four o'clock, and after giving throe hearty cheers to Mr Billington for his kindness in-grant-ing tho uso of the paMock, tho Army and their friends marched back to town, all expressing themselves much pleased at spending such a pleasant holiday, Wo are glad to add that tkero was nu ontire absence otlarr kmisni, or, if it waspresent, it-did not exhibit itself. Tho day's programme wound up with a very successful service at the barracks.

A maiden lady lias died at Calemiebut Lys, in Frunce will) whom tho ruling passion was very strong in doath. Tho excellent old damo wai, according to local papors, not only, tho groalest snuff takoi' in Prance, but enj»ycd iho reputation of without a rival in tho whole civilized world in tho snuff-box lino. She had contracted Iho liabit early in lifo, and 1 as she advanced in years it grew stronger,' until tho latter days of her oxistonco sho rarely passed five minutes withoui taking a pinch. As alio enjoyed singularly good health, retained nil her mental facutiio3, and died at a ripo old ago, it is to bo inferred that snuff did not exercise any prejiulical effect upon hor, In fact she maintained tho snuff had been the joy of her solitary .lifo, and iii hor will sho honored it accordingly. Her coffin, in compliance with hor writton instructions was to.be filled, with tobacco, tho floor of the mortuary chamber was to bo carpeted with it, and the heir to her property was charged'to scatter tobacco beforo the hea'so on tlio road to tho cemolory. The deceased left numerous legacies to friends and neighbors, each money bequest beiug supplimented by the gift of a quantity of snuff, with tho earnest entreaty that such as had never experienced the benefits to be derived from what she called " Nature's great cordial" would lako thoir first snuff on the day of tbo funeral.
