Astampedo of milk carts took plaoe yesterday morning at the' Taratalii Dairy Factory, Olarevjllp. Mf Alfred Daysh's brake, ladpn wit]i full milk cans, started through the fright of the* horso, cannoned up against Mr Ohriatenseu's vehicle, and persuaded Mr Roberts' horse to join in tho mad career.

A very peculiar oc&urrenco is reported from Moroa, noar Greytown, Mr George Wakolin,senior, who lives there, was conducting some operations with a swarm ol bees on Friday, when tho whole colony settled on his head and shoulders. He was, we are informed, considerably stung by the bees, but precise details are not stated.. There is some danger,in the direction of bloodpoisoning tg bo appreliendefj. in a serious case of bee-stinging, apart from'the bodily pain attapbed to iniuty by such an onslaught, We trust Mr Wakelin's experience is not afagrayo character, ' There is a prospect of tliepa cricket at all In Greytown this year. An obstinate dispute between two sections of cricketers is the preventing cause. Those who aro sterling crickoters say that the ground and pitch has been spoilt by football being played on it, The remaining members of the Club, (men with a dash of football in llipir composition,) indignantly deny that any material damage has been dono." The result is a doplorable doadlock, and the " will9ff" droops and languishes in Greytown. . in; Carterton are not very much better, 'ino iS2! nn certainly has opened, and two matches have been played, but it is complained that a carefully preserved pitch,hitherto in good condition, has been ruined by a too liberal dose of sand, whioh was administered under tlio impression that it would act as a p)lld Btliplant and improve tho turf.

On Sunday evening last a clergyman, in tho course of an oloquent extempore discourse on confirmation, preached in a church' not far from Greytown, rolated tlio following:—'' Sonio years ago, in a Parish over which I then presided, an elderly woman came to mo and expressed an earnest wish to bo coritirmed, Sho attended the classes regularly, and in duo courso was confirmed by the Bishop. Somo time ■ afterwards, I asked her a question, which 1 had refrained from asking prior to her confirmation, fearing he discouraged hor, viz, what liad led her at her advanced stage of life to spek the lites of confirmation? Her reply was,' 11 Well air, they toll me that Confirmation is good for Rheumatism." The Rev clergyman went on to remark, that ho doubted if it would bo as ellicasious, as a certain oil which was now extensively advertised. As may bp t xpected, the congregation could not repress ut rather broad smile, and there was eveii a suspicion of one on tlio RoV gentloman'a face.
