Mr T. Jameß Builder formorly of Masterton, pot a nasty spill at Pahiatua on Tuesday evening last owing to his horse bolting with a trap, There was no more serious damage done than a broken shaft and a fow bruises. It is considered almost certain that Sir H, A. Blako will bo appointed to the Governorship of the Mauritius, aiid the vacancy in Queensland will be offered to' Lord Balfour of Burleigh.' The following blocks are set aside for sale by tho'Wellington Land Board:— Otamakapua-Eaugitikei, (Curl's clearing), 15,000; Pohangiua, 15,000; Puke-toi-Makuri, 15,000; Otumakapua-Hangi-tikei 10,000; Puketoi south-west, 10,000; Mangataiuoko, 9,000; Omahiui-Wairoa, 7,000, Waitotara, 7,000; Horowlienua, 4000 jMangahao, 8,000.

We observe that the Marlborough Express is urging the public there to vote against increase of licenses at the local option poll to be taken shortly, If our contemporary will look at tho.Aofc it. w'ill discover/that the tomperanco : legislators were asleepv when it-was' passed. The pull is a.farce, as while it provides that the affirmation of a proposal to increase the number of licenses shall licit compel the committee to issue any; it also does not contain anything to prevent the issue of new oije3 against the wish ef the voters as oxpressed at the local option poll.—Manawatu Times.

■ Apropos, says, an English correspondent, of the Scotch -justice invoked by Messrs l'arnell & Co., a neat littlo story reaches me of a certain Bailie at a Police Court not many miles from Glasgow.: A solitary prisoner in the shape of one old woman, arrostcd for being "drunk and disorderly," made her appearance, no,!; by any means for' tho first time, beforo him, "As I'm pairfcckly innocent, mid the only prisoner, i yoY Lordship niiolitlet mo all the day," 1 «»id she.

In other words, the grassier has cattle slaugbtered, quartered, weighed, entered, loaded, &o. without any trouble, outlay, or anxiety on his part, and receives about LI a head as well, towards freight, &c, This is surely as good an arrangement as.any graijer could desire,

Our local contemporary, in his last issue, excuses' his special reporter, tho well-known peeping Tom, and incidentally rofers to him ns an eavesdropper. This designation is Accurate enough; but when in the same issue he is jubilant over ■' the fixed and manly independence" of those who fought on his side in the late election, he comes out a littlo too strong, what fixed and maidy independence is there, we would ask about a pitiful-fellow who crawls hr the dark to the buck oE a building and listens through a partly opened window to privato conversation, and stealthily peeps at the people who are in the room. Is it characteristic of fixed and manly independence for our contemporary to taken report sneaked after this fashion and publish it to the world. Tho Mastorton Boad Board has already found it necessary to pass a resolution to look.up its papers, and other public bodies and private individuals will have to take precautions also against pmloiners and eavesdroppersif there is much more of this fixed and manly indopendenco'rarnpant'iu the community;

■ Porhaps one of. the reasons why W, G. Grace is so'deadly to young cricketers is this: the batsman seeing an- enormous man rushing up to the wickets, with both elbows out, great black board blowing on each side of him, mid a huge yellow cap ion the top of.a r i Jark.'svrarthy face, expects something more than the gentlo lobbed-up ball that does corau ;ho ■cannot believo that this baby-looking bowling is really the great man's, and .gets flustered arid loses, his. wicket-' W.'G. Graco is cortainly enormous, and h,year 'or two ago at Lord's an amusing remark might havo .been Overheard on.this subject. The" Eugland v. Australia match was being played.. W.
