Our local contemporary appears, from his last issue, to bo extremely anxious to prevent Mr Gardiner from standing as a candidate in the present election, He was fiucofeßsful'a Bhott time ago in iriduciugMrD.S. Papworth to stand cloar, , and'itwon'Ue his fault if Mr Gardiner is not also cajoled into taking a back seat.-: Last woek Mr Georgo Parlter mot with an accident while bushfalling on Mr Francis',bush land, East Taratahi. Itappears that while Parker was in the act 1 of fellin? a tree, his axe slipped, glanced off the treo, and'tho blado struck his ' right foot, penetrating through tho boot, 1 and cutting tho sinews of tho foot, Mr , fieivus, who was working noar, carried him soveral miles to Clarovillc, from . where he was takon to Dr Johnston, under whose caro he i 3 now doing well. 1 —Obßervor. \ From tho Hansard report of the late session we notice that Mr G. Beetham ' expressed the following, sentiments- on [ Waßto Lands Boards:—" lam glad the honorable goiitleman has given mo ah I answer,- for tho settlers Bhould know his [ intentions, so that they may not bo ■ buoyed up with false hopes. At tho same time, I may say that I do not agree with the policy of .the. Minister of Lands in j this respect. "With regard to what lias been' said by the honorable member! for Auckland East, I may. say that it has boon stated by individuals both inside the House and outaido it that the Waste ' Lands Boards ought to be abolished; and I admit that, if their functions aye " not to be enlarged, arid cases like' thoße of village settlements are not to be relegated to them, the time must come when their functions should bo 1 abrogated al- -. together. I say bucli an onbijmous power should rot be placed in the hands of a Minister as tho regulations now give him. I stated so wheii the Land Act was being passed—that the regulations re Bpeoial and village settlements should bo settled by Act, and not by the Minister; and that the Waste Lands Board should either tet more power or be abolished."'

': Wo remind ourroaders of tho entertain-' merit, at St, Matthew's achoolrnom this evening

A heavy fall'of snow occurred during last night covering thc.low fiills on both sides of the Valley.- A continuance' of this weather wiJ bo severely I'olt -amons; the early lambs of this district. ■

While engaged in erecting a bavn at his homestead on Saturday last Mr B. M. Hart,- of Dalefield, met with a serious acV pidentj says the Carterton paper. The' scaffold upon which ho was standing, about' -IB feet from the ground, broke, and Mr Hart fell to the gomid 'strikin? and .carrying away sumo of the braces in th& fall, breaking two of his ribs and severely bruising himself We learn that •' al-f though muo:> shaken, he is progressing: favourably under Dr Johnston's care.. . ;• A recent number of Truth-contains the' following' amusing paragraph : •'• The Bolomn service was progressing in Winchester" Cathedral and the Dean Bat" enthroned, when a telegram was handed, to him, He opened, read it, and caßt his eyes up to heaven in dire perplexity. It. ran thus—'Ormonde has won.' Who was Ormonde, and what had he won ?, Vainly- ! Canon's and such liko minor lights .vere consulted. If they knew, they pretended not to. It was subsequently discovered! that tho telegram had been sent to. Mr Dean, a trainor at Winchester, but as|.it was addressed 'Dean,. Winchester,'.-'it? was handed to tho Dean. The telegraph' clerks were probably under the imprcs-.. sion that this dignitary had put a trifle on; tho race, and had desired that the result should be at once forwarded to him."

Mr N. Grace writins to our Carterton contemporary says,;— Economy of the truth seems to bo your leading principle in any reference you make to Mr Buchanan. 1 havo thcreioro again to correct you as to your statCment'about Mr Buchanan's action with regard to tho price of shearing It was Mr E. J. Riddiiord, Mr Bunny's Bon-in : la\v, who lirafc origi-

nated the raoveraent'to which you refer, and this 1 can inform you was six years ago". He first spoke to me at the Hutt about it,-and-subsequently stirted the circular at a Pastoral Society's meeting held at Carterton, '.He aud a great-many others paid 17s lid por hundred Jasfc year, while Mr' Buchanan and many beside paid 20s—as usual—also flagging all their sheep before shearing. I havo a nephew said Mr Carrick M. H. R. during the last session who strvod his time in flie Government workshops in Christchurch for seven years, Ho was an able mechanic, and could manufacture ov do anything about an engine, and, besides that, was a very good draughtsman. Ho was discharged from the Government service, and went to-America to try his

ortune there.' I have seen a letter from

him in which lie says that, instead of working eight hours a day, as in Christchurch, lie has to work ten, and, with that, his wages are only £1123 a week; and the only way io which ho had been able to obtain employment there at..all ■was through powerful iiifluonco from bore used with persons resident on the spot. He cays fc-» mo," Talk of Ohr s chuv-di .and the unemployed there! it is, nothing to what it in here: the number of unemployed hero ia something tremendous', Thore are fifty thousand now out. of. em-. ploy, anda'largo number in Philadelphia alone. 1 shall tako the oavlicst opportunity of 'getting back to Christchureh." So much for the effects of Protection upon the faots of life, It is all very well to • theorize on the matter, but when vou put it to the test of practical experience th o results arc'something startling. We refer our readera to an iuset with to-day'B issue from Messrs Homy Owon & Co, announcing that the balance of their ' compulsory.clotiring side stock must be disposed of by the end of the month.. ■ Tho North Wairarapa County Council give notice that a resolution passed le slaughterhouse by-am on tho 9th insh, will he confirmed at. a meeting to be hold on'Septomber 13th, In the Masterton R, M.
