Panobajkic View op Waikaio.— -A correspondent, who was one of the. ex-., oursionists to Taupiri by the Wa kito steamer on Monday, and who, with others, ascended to tlae top of the hill above the Mission Station, where a splendid panoramic viewjo-f the Waikato country is to.be had, thus writes to us : — 4t We were wll jepaM for our comparatively small trouble in climbing this hill, by the vnagoiticent eight revealed to us f rdm its tup. The- Waikato> plains lay ■ arjund ua, and the vasti tiaoti extending eastward to the Thames, giving some idea, which nothiug. o!ae possibly could, of the immense amount of country available for >co!»uisatiofr in' this'part of the North Island ; and ;what:*ti uqk me as the more remarkable^,.*, the proportion of cultivated land to the surrounding waste. Far away in i? %e r dim ■distance, with the blue bills filling, the scene in, .as -ar|rame to the picture, lay here. and there our Waikato townships and their immediate settlements, mere dots comparatively iu the va9t baqk ground of brown fern with : which they were surrounded. None but a person, taking in the whole view at a glanoe could possibly ifeiajige how maoh, with all our boasted; advancement, remaius yet to be done before the country ia .even fairly filled up and 'CHltivated On our way up river, the steamer put in agaiu at Ngaruawtiii, and * number of us took advantage of the opportunity to go on shore for half an;, hour, and have a look at the fine new railway bridge which, spans the river. It is indeed a fiue structure, a well 'finished substantial work.

A Sao Accident':' "betel the little daughter of Mr R; T Millar on New Years Day. From : information received we leara the child was pluying : with the well winditf wlien. her '» lister turning. the handle, she, fall down anl broke her arm above the elbow. Dr Waddington, with some difficulty w,ag.at last found attending ■a?^'f(tieot'-n.e : ai?TsF'o Awamutu, whom he said'.'fh'e" could ,W; possibly leave, but gavl^irectione hio w- the cuild should be c mveyed lo him... The .'• poor little tufftrer had to be put iu a rap and m*de as o mt>rtab!e with wraps aud matrassts as pcsuble and pon- « yeyed ovtr a rough r ad, rain occasionaHy falling, and the night a« dark as pitch. But all things ha ve«ih ending,. and so had tbe weary journey, andglad the sorrow- . ing jparents, no doubt^ were to see the ! light of the eettle-6 -house where the ; Doctor was to be fouud'. Dr Waddington found the break was /just above the elbow, and after having got shingles from, the roof of the settkrV shed in lieu of splintß, and wool from one of hie shee^ iu lieu of w adding, , «t he bone was -set, and after thanking the kind-. -people: for tbeir assistance, the fpatienb'- wait again lifted intpj-the trap, by her father, an I , home was- reached about midnight. j ■ tirfi?

This waa accomplished just in the nick of time, and on tbe mare being examined, it was found that ahe had dislocated one of foer shoulders and hurt her hind legs Oapt. Fraßer at once ottered her to-be shot, and the animal wal immediately put but of pain. A great deal of .sympathy was expressed with the galant captain, who is an entbu iastic and honest sportsman. As to the money loss, he recouped that, we telieve, by Atiel winning : the Grand
