A six-year-old son of Mr Donnis M'Mullen, of Masterton, met with a painful accident the of.her day. He was playing about tho yard with his boots off when he trod upon a piece of broken bottle. A fearful gash was inflicted in his foot, his heel being almost severed. Doctor Huskily uttended the little sufferer and Btitched up the wound. The Wellinpton correspondent of the Lyttelton Times writes;—Tho Liberal Party has subscribed the mohoy for bringing out a first class evening paper.

A peculiar oase of identification has has just occurred in Wellington, It will be remembered .that a few daya since we gaye particulars of a hoot containing poriions of a human leg, found on the Bhore of the harbour, Since theu, Mr Edward, bootmaker, of Manners street, called at the police station, and permission was eiven him to take the boot home and oxamine it.. He did so, and on undoing the sole recognised it as his own handiwork, and further, that it had belonged to a man named Herbert Oox, formerly of Wellington, who, with Pilot Simms and another of tho pilot crew named Tait, was drowned as far back as the 17th August, 1889, while N Ihe boat was being towed by the steamer Herald, It will be remembered that on getting into the rough' sea tho pilot boat ospsized, and after a severe struggle the three men were drowued. There is, therefore, little doubt that the remains found are those of the un« fortunate man Oox, whose widow is now living in Tasraan street. No traco was ever found of tho other two men,—Times

, Co-operation tor mutual benefits is ont of the features of the age. On all sides do we see successful private trading firms forming thoir businesses into Limited Liability Companies in order to extend the scope of their operations, and to give the man of Binall .neaus an opportunity to invest his capital or his savings piotitably and saloly. One of the most striking instances in this Oniony is the successful tirai of Sharlaud & Cu. Limited, of Auckland and Wellington, wholesale drug merchants, and luauufac* turers of chemicals and aoida. About two years ago Messrs (Sharland and Co decided upon incorporatinf their business as a Limited Liability Go, and the results, as proved by the last two balance sheets, have been eminently aatisfactory. As an instance of how flourishing the concern it, we may mention that the net profits,as shown by lußtyear's balanoe shoot, amount to l(i| par cent per annum—a result, wo venture to say, reached by few trading companies in this part of th 6 world. To show with what " leaps and bounds" the firm has progressed, we may state that the total saleb in 1880 only reached £1749, but had increased in 1890 to the respectable sum of £51,414, the results for ton months in 1891 showing a still further advance on the latter sum of j£8,143. The most casual observer will thus see how rapid has been the progress of the firm, and what is more to the point how profitable the trading has been whon it returns llif per cent on the capital invested, These results have been most carefully verified by leading accountants in both Wellington and Auckland and the stock has at the same time been most minutely checked by experienced chemists in both towns. The shares are £1 each, of which 12s Ca is to be paid in instalments of 2s 6d per share at of three months. Applications for shares may be made to Messrs Sharland and Co,, Limited, Wellington, or to any of tho brokers in that city. Early application is necessary as the Bhare list doses on the 16th mat, The Bummcr bale, commencing on Saturday, January 30th, and intended for tho disposal of tho balance of the Season's btock, promises to bo one of the most such { cessful ever held at Te Aro Houso, Welling. , ton. •
