Wo feel «ure the loader will have good cause to be satisfied with his charge, and that this may justly be styled the event of the season. An accident happened to a five yearold daughter of Mr Penny,of the Taratahi, on Tuesday in a very peculiar manner. It appears that the family had just returned from a drive and had all alighted, with the exception of the little one, when th« horse bolted around the yard, The ohUd was thrown out, but caught on the iron step, and thus suspended was earned a longdistance. Eventually 'be dropped off and the wheel passed over her. Dr Johnston attended the" little sufferer, and up to the present the extent of the injuries are not ascertained.

Mr Buekley stated in the Council yesterday, the Government had no intention to bring in a Bill to amend the Land Act. so as to give power to the Waste Lauds' Boards to grant Crown tenants' tornperory reduction of rent as it would be dangerous to give suoh power to Land Boards. . Sometime since the Feathorsfcon Town Board applied to Dr Hector for trees for. planting the reserve opposite the Empire Hotel. We have heard the request cannot be granted this season as no trees are available, It is hoped the Board will not let the season get too faradvanoed befbre'taking steps.to carry out their first intention, a couple of pounds would cover the cost of sufficient shrubs for this year, and as the reserve is for recreation purposes, and the only .available one for cricket etc, every effort should be made to made to make it a favorite jesort. in the Supreme Court at Ohnstchurch yesterday, the case of.Knight v. Dr Symes waa rather peculiar. Plaintiff, & dairyman, olaimed heavy damages, alleging defendant, a medical man, had said that bad water drunk by dairymen's cattle was the cause of sickness in the town. Plaintiff also complained that he had lost customers in consequenoe. For tho defence, the making of the statement iras denied, and even if it were made at all it was made by defendant as bomfidt, as a medical practitioner in discharging his duty. The jury gave a verdict for defendant.

We have received a copy of the report of the Directors of tht Permanent Investment and Loan Association of Wairarapa for the past year. It is very briet and extremely satisfactory, and runs as follows:—" Your Directors again have the pleasure of submitting what they think may be considered a very favorable Balance Sheet forthe past twelve months, the surplus money devisible being £l2s 8d per share, attaint 16s 6d last year. During the year the large Bum of £7200 has been paid on 144 shares that have matured. The total number of shares withdrawn is 206, and 159 new shares have been taken up, leaving the number current 875. Tu accordance with the rules, Messrs Caselberg and Booth retire from the Directory, but are eligible, and offer themselves for re-election. An English correspondent to the New Zealand Herald thus expresses his opinion of the Kew Zealand Court at the Colonial and Industrial Exhibition now being held in London:-" I think the New Zealand exhibitors should have sent home representatives to look after their exhibits, and not have left themselves in the hands of the two learned doctors—Von Haa6t and Buller. Prom a commercial point of vi»w it would'have paid the exhibitors. What is wanted in that court is a good pushing business man, to bring into prominence the useful as well as the ornamental exhibits. The court is. too much.like a museum—too many glass bottles with lizards and fishes, moa bones, old Maori stones, feathers, and huts, and not enough manufactured goods aud the products of the soil."

Consideration of this kind is so very rare that I cannot resist calling publio [attention to the behaviour of & divine in the neighborhood of Sheffield, who is reputed on a recent snowy Sunday to have thus addressed his congregation after prayers : 'lt is not, my friends,' he said, ' because 1 have not a sermon ready for you, for I have a vory good one, and one most carefully prepared, in my pocket; butbeoauße I know you have wet boots, and ought to get home and change them, that I hereby dismiss you without a discourse.' The name of this self-denying preacher is not mentioned, but I can fauoy few olergymen more worthy of a bishopric." " There is nothing new under the sun,V the wise man said. It now turns out that iustantaneous photography, whose results of late havo become so startling, was known more than thirty years ago, and successfully practised by Charles Breeze, who not only kept the secret while he lived; but carried it with him when he died. What a host of similar Beijrets have been taken to the silent home.
