In the case of Mr Burke's land, however, there is no established existing township .to contend with, and the allotments will therefore be all the more valuable. Messrs J. D. & K. Hill are the auctioneers, also, on this occasion. 3 Sebious Hobse Accident. — If the horse is useful to man, it i9 at great and continuous danger to life and limb that ho is bo. A second accident to; a lad in | Hamilton has occurred during the present week from one of these animals. A little boy, named Ted Mays, working 1 in the stable yard3 of the Hamilton Hotel, on Thursday afternoon last took a horse down to the river to water, and, while endeavouring to drive the animal in, got too near to his heels, and received a fearful blow full in the face, cutting open one cheek, and exposing the jaw bone the whole line of a wound nearly six inches in length. The boy was taketfup to Mr R. F. Sandes' chemist's shop, where Dr Waddington, assisted by Mr Sandes, .dressed the wound and sewed it up. The poor little fellow was yesterday progressing favorably, but the wound was a very serious one, and the effusion of blood considerable. | Otm Hamilton Youth— not the little boys who have time and opportunity to -attend our public schools during the daily hours of teaching— but boys of a bigger growth, working for their Uving'during ordinary school' hours, have another chance a_ordid,_them of obtaining some little education if they have* none, or of improving- that which they may have. Mr Murray, the newly-appointed schoolma^r of Hamilton West, advertises that he will open evening" classes on Monday next, the 28th instant, at 7 o'clock. We cannot too strongly urge upon lads of twelve to twenty years of age,, and even upwards, who oannot avail themselves of our public schools, not to let slip the opportunity of raising themselves in the scale of humanity which these evening schools afford ; and parents, too, should use their influence and. authority in encouraging these lads to se'ze perhaps the last chance of doing so they may have. The hot weather that prevailed yesterday had one remarkable effect in Hamil ton. A thirsty cow, not fiading the usual supply of water in and about her usual drinking holes, effected a forcible entrance into the Bank of New Zealand, for the purpose of getting a "draft." The animal nearly scared the life out of the youth who superintends the front office, who rushed off to the manager to enquire if the accommodation should be granted. He, at the same time, took the precaution to cover his head with hit coat, lest the animal might thereby le induced to follow him and enforce it i requirements in an unpleasant manner. Two customers standing in the bank were under the impression that the real object of the animal's intrusion was not correctly understood, but that it hid come there to be " milked." Whatever X was the real cause of its appearance the manger, put an end to speculation by expelling his Hove} cuetaner.
