C'KowDfj) out — In older to clear up u)l let itb and muttem r< U mug to to-day'B t-leciion, wo Li.to been co'iipi led to hold over our Cwq« bridge pohc« report and lcadiDg artioiea.

DfeiUGHT Hobmm fob lALb — Comrquent on running the coaches lent fiequent'j on tint road li« ihe intention cf th» Mr Quirk »hortly to offer for sale about twenty valuable horses. They will b« §ola bj auction by Mr Kennedy Hill. Thk iiTi scrroSßU Suicidr. — We under- ; stnnri that the body of th« unfortunate m*n Horace Barker, whose »jppo^ed suicide was rcpoi ted in our last issue, ha» been discovered m u stati of ox'remo decomposition, and is now jji'ig at \\ hit* Wh.Ua, where an inq_u»st will moat piobj.bl.\ be held upou it to-day. IHE IjjrKH PROVINCIAL PIGEON MATCH.— It will bo i>een by a telegram iv another place that nfter ull the question whethtr Aucklnnd or Otago is lh« muner, u * doubtful one, the Dunedin" men "having shot at thirteen birds each win o the AutLlinidPM shot at ten birds each, hither Ujo fiiflt ten scores of oath Dunedin man should only be counted, <#r the m»tih will hate to be [hod o\er again nfc I be expense of Otigo. Thk Ngauuawahia and Hamiltox Koad.— We would diuw the attention of the Hamilton and IS gar imw ulna Ho ad Boards to the fuct that tho road between the tw; townships is in a yery bud condition, nnd needs, in many places immediate rip in a. It is all the moje desirable that this jvoik should be proceeded with, as, if the road is put into .1 fairly passable condition, Mr Q. Quit k, although placing * it earner on the nver, will ugmn commence running his coaches between the two townships throe timei a week iv addition. The running of the coach will be u great advantage to settlers, und residents of eitliur towuehip, and the sooner the road is put into a fit etnto of repair the better. If n A Bcckland's Sales — Ohaupo will be the cci.tic of atti action to the bricolic if not to tho political mind to-day. The political onsis may be tho most eventful that hat orer occurre 1 m the 11 Q mis of New Zealand (are candidates speeches) but man, frail niun, a little loner th m the ange a, must etui be ted on beef und mutton, und there are those, th»nk goodness, who will fee to tlii'te bis little mutoriul wants a.d coin foits even though Waikato bo wrecked (political )) on the rock of a Vox or a MeMinn. A number of good looking store ca'tlo have pasHcd through Hamilton during the last few il'ijß and judging fron. tbe advertisements the show both of cattle un 1 aheep to-day will be a large on»>. '10-imvs Eiectioh — Wo need icarcely, and yet u m perhaps right that we ghoul i, remind the electors of Waipa that the election comet off to-duj. The polling will commence at 9am clOHing at 4 pm, telegraph time A large number ol votes will no doubt be polled at Ohaupo, in coiifci-quenco not only of tho Fukeninu elo(tor«< having nn nearer polling p uco, but tW a considerable number of settleia from all parts of the district will be present at the Olmup.) milen. Now it will oe well for intending voters to bc.ir in mind that it takes a certain time to ; j poll oudi votor, and if at Ohaup>> everyone puts oil" to! ing till after tho talc tho chance U many will go uupolled. Voters will therefore do well to poll tarly in the day, and not luttre it t> tbe ln*t couple of hours, or they may fin I them*"lvei just too late, ttntl the probability is a v< ry lew votes will turn the election one way or the other. Kked and BftKrr'a Almanac has been publi^hmi this 31*111- for a chilling and con tuns h vaiiety of lnforui'ition of more or 1< »s valu • Alluding to tho Woikato it says ■ — "The whole W.nknto district is repre*ented by a first class journal, the Waikaio Timk^, puuiuh"d at Un tnillon by Messrs Lan^bri <ge and Mlvcr, who h.ve spared no expensi* in milking it one of the best country newspapers in tho Celon_\." This of course, is not nem lor tho people of thin district, but then, no one take* up an film in jc for newi, but for facts. We refer to it simply at [ showing the reliable character of the: faca con tamed in the Almanac. The whole is edited by Mr I' W Leys and will be found to he an t xeellent Provincial hand book and jtrangeri ' »<nle uiecuni,' as indeed might h«»Te h en < l ipi't;ted coming from the ablo and expene oed hamli ot tho gentleman abo«e mentioned. The present numbor 11 to a large extent new and supplementary to tho-« of proceeding yours j The j.atk Gu-lavt Kb«cnEs pinu Dkownj IXO. — Wo hast en to correct th) error 111 our lupoit of the accident which happened to Mies 'Vnoy, on P'riday afternoon, in which wo stute I tlmt the youug lady was on horaehack on the punt at the tiuin tho ncccident hnppHtifd As will hu seen by Mr Neal's letter thin was not the case. Too nnich priica cmnot be giveo to Kobert Sutherland ond Jiimeo Gall, not only for their saMiig )Mii>b Caley'» life bu* that of others in these rivers, and one notaHy during the same »eck at Kanyinri. We are glad to see that the hint gnpn in tins journal of their being worthy <>| tioinuthing more than pa-<uiig notice, hat been taken, and that a public duNcription list is now open at Mr Nenl'a olHce at (Jambridge, in that bthilf to winch, if hr will attach the nam« of Waikaio Timfs for one guinea it shall be duly honoii-d. We may add that subscriptions left at or forwarded to this office in aid of tho tame objic -will bo acknowledged in our columni and paid in to Mr Neat's account. We should like to aoe eotne Hint able recognition of the gallant conduct of Iheeu meu, and especially of tliat of Sutherland niude by tho icttlers of this district, romethmg moie than a mere money gift, to which they might refer in after years with pride and pleasure.
