We have received Mr W. K. Bishop's Penny Monthly Time Table for June, It contains the usual amount of useful information. Messrs Lowes and lorns notify for the usual Saturday's sale, new and second hand furniture, boots, clothing, drapery, and produce, also by order of the public Trustee the effects of the late Richard Cole. At To Whiti, where the accident happened on Tuesday, resulting in the death of h man by drowning while attempting to cross the Ruamahunga in a canoe, there is a boat lying either one side of the river or the other for the convenience of persons desirous of crossing. This boat is often used by inexperienced persons, and others, who are ignorant of thetreacherous nature of the stream in this locality. We were told by a witness at the inquest that some four or five weeks since he saw a party of three ladies get into the canoe which was on the Masterton side of the stream, and before they were awaro of it, the boat drifted into the rapids and became unmanageable. This was in the Bame spot that the canoe upset in on Tuesday, but, fortunately for the party of ladies on the occasion referred to, there was not so much water. They had to take to the river, however, , abandon the boat, and wade ashore, or they would have met with a worse fate than they had bargained for. We mention the circumstance for the purpose of auitioning persons of the danger,
