An accident occurred to the Walling* ton-Napier train yesterday near WoodTllle, which delayed it for several hours. In the House of Representatives yesterday, the Land BUI was dismissed at some leneth, and was committed and reported. The directors of the Southland Frozen Meat Company are empowered by the shareholders to erect freezing works at Mataura, to extend the works at the Bloff, and put in more refrigerating power. They also intend to increase the capital of the Company by L4OOO. It is stated that a saying of L2OOO per annum will result by using water power , for driylng the refrigerators. Mr E. J. Searl, well known in Masterton, and also in Wellington as the genial host of the Panama Hotel, entered into COBsession of the Star Hotel, Maaterton, yesterday afternoon. Mr Searl has brought with him a complete new staff of servants, and has entirely renovated the establishment. We have no doubt that Mr Searl will make a thorough succeßß of his new yenture. A very successful concert was given last night (Wednesday) by the school children of Carterton, assisted by some of the adult local talent. The proceeds are to be devoted to the benefit of the school. Great credit is due to Mr Williamson (a teacher of the school) for the interest he takes in the children, and also to the Committee for their able assistance rendered in the matter,

At the annual meeting of the Wellington Meat Export Company yesterday, Mr J. Stuckey, in moving a vote of thanks to the director! for their services daring the past year, said ha hoped they would bring a little pressure to bear upon the Railway Commissioners in endeavering to get more suitable cattle bracks. The settlers in tho Walrarapa had great difficulty with regard to the tracks. Most of them were too narrow. The new trucks were fairly good, but the old ones were very bad. The Chairman (Mr Buchanan]) promised that the matter should receive their best attention.

The death is announced at Herbert* ville of Wiremci Hoora Rantu, a native well known in the Wairarapa and on the Coast. Our Prohibitionist Editor haß apparently been "off colour" lately, as ho has neglected to supply copy for the usual column. We intend continuing tu give our Temperance friends the customary i quota of temperance reading. Hamuera Maraitai, better known as "Sam," a promising young native of Homebush, Masterton, diod at an early hour this morntng. tie had been suffering for some time with an affection of the bratn. A "tangi" is to be held oyer the remains. How differently legal gentlemen, engaged on opposite siden of a question, view matters, was beautifully illustrated in the R.M. Court this morning. One contended that to lead a horse with too strong a rope was a mistake, as the horse might become fractious and pull back until he broke his neck. His " learned friend " thereupon endeavored to show the utter fallacy of this idea by stating + that if the ropo was weak, the horse might, fall backwards and thus break his neck. His opponent at this atape convulsed the Court by remarking that, in his opinion, the horse would more probably break his tail t It will be observed by a glance at our advertising columns that a big ball is looming for next month in Grey town. 'No less than 350 persons have consented to act upon the committee, and these tie in all parts of the Wairarapa. Doubtless the object of the ball will have greatly to do with its success. For the last twv years Greytown has carried out an ArbocaHl Day, and a few energetic persons art improving the road sides leading into the town by planting trees. The movement is a popular one, and the two gentlemen who have undertaken to run this ball say they will make it a roaring success. a. large number of persons who did not go to the recent band masquerade ball because of the wet weather, are looking forward to the Arbor Day ball, The Timaru Herald says:—"Professor Thomas, of Auckland, thiaks he has obtained somelight of the mysterious disease which has been so disastrous to sheep owners about Tauranga. H e has had submitted to him specimens of a parasite with which the stomach of a bullock killed at Te Aroha was found to be infested, and finds it new to this colony, though well known in Europe—the emphiato mum conicum, or "stomach fluke." This parasite affects sheep as * well as cattle. To the nonprofessional observer is looks a good deal like a maggot, but has a verj different life history. It will be remembered that internal parasites were found in Sheep examined near Normanby in a flock in which the mortality was heavy.

The Co-operative and Farmers Alliance, Limited, Wellington, hai been registered and is now an incorporated: company in terms oi lair. We cong>*tulate the farmers and settlers of the North Island on this, as the) now have an opportunity of finding good market* for their produoe. We understand that the Company if to be conducted entirely by the shareholders under a competent manager. A meeting of the shareholders has been called for the earliest possible date, 10th September, at Wellington, in terms of the Act of Parliament, to elect Directors and office-bearers. The Directors do well in at once taking the share* holders into their confidence, as we feel sure the farmers will not be slow to respond to this vote of confidence. Some little delay has taken place in registering the Company, but we can easily under-, stand how this has arisen, and indeed generally arises in all cases of such a magnitude when caution and care are required.

Some oi the "buahmen" exported from the South Island to this part, of t.ie colony have not (according to the Feilding Star) proved an entfro success, One gentleman, who had described himself as the "real Mackay," was shown ' a cross-cut saw and an axe. He looked at them for some time, and then inquired "what are they fori" Hli mate, who also claimed to be a "bosh* man," asked if a manl ring and wedge* were not used "as a fake at the raota?" Mow is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by purofaasing the extraordinary bargains in Kankets, flsn» nels, dress goods, and thousands of othntf* lines at Hooper's gig&'utio sale now on.
