We have received from Mr R Stans6eld, the District Agent of the New Zealand Accident Insurance Co., a pamphlet entitled " Another Wellington Drxg Hunt," witn illustrations by Mr J. S. Allan, the well-known artist. The skits in themselves are remarkably good. The influenza epidemic, whioh is now being severely felt in Masterten, appears to be particularly virulent iu Australia. In one of the business establishments of Sydney ICO employees ire down with influenza, and in another 180. At a meeting o'the Free Presbyterian Synod of Victoria, held in Hamilton on November li, the lollowing resolution was carried:- " The Synod agrees to record solemnly an acknowledgment of the rod in God's hands, by which thn recent widespread malady called influenza has swept so many in this colony and seme of the members of this Church to their long home, their sense of desert of God's afflictive visitations by Church audState for their failures to serve him according to His word, their thankfulness to Him for the restoration ot so many in the Church from their serious illness, and their desire tuat when his judgments are abroad the inhabitants of the world may learn righteousness." The Argus says:—"lt ia remarkable that ..those whose duties call them on the bay, and those who reside whore they have plenty of fresh air, are those who suffer most severely. Thus members of the Navtt Force, Harbour Trust men, captains and officers of bay steamers, pilots, reporters whose duties call them afloat, Press boatmen, and othet boatmen, have had the most serious attacks."

The steamer Talune, on tho voyage from Melbourne, struck what is supposed to be a sunken rock in the, vioinity of Swan Island. She was going full speed at the time, and the shook threw tho passengors off their feet. The '' engines wore stopped, but worked erratically, and when again started it was apparent there had been some in« iury to the propeller. The vessel limm self has sustained no serious and she has resumed her voyage to New | Zealand. Vessels have from time to ' time struck a hidden rook near Swan Island, but long search has failed to discover it.

A West Coast exchange, in referring to the projected Liberal paper in Wellington, saya that no working man's organ was ever able t"> drag eufc more than a miserable existence in this colony. The working man may howl himself hoarse for protection, but he is a terrible freetrader when he has any money to spend. He will renerally take the best newspaper, no matter what the politics, especially if he can buy it cheaper. He will buy imported poods of any kind in preference to colonial made—if they can be bought cheaper. He believes in other people subsidising native industries to make work, but these industries would haye a very poor prospect indeed if they had to depend entirely upon the working man. Ho will light to the bitter end for eight hours, but he prefers usually to do his shopping just before going home at night, and imagines that things are going to the dogs if the shops are shut. Be likes his oysters and porter at nlsrht occasionally before going home, and is very particular to have a look at tho paper in the morning before going to work ; yet ho knows full well all the time that none of these nxuries could poseibly be available if eight hours' labor were the rule instead of the exception.
