A man named. Andrew Farmer, a shoemaker residing in Te Aroha was brought in by train yesterday suflering from a compound fracture of ths jaw. ilie accident occurred on Saturday, but strange to say the injured man has no idea how it

happened. Nothing Has yet been done to repair the. culvert which was washed out noar Mr .Ino. McNicl's on the Ohaupo road some time back. Should we get any heavy riin now morn «f tho road will break iiway, thus stopping the traffic along this important line. The mayoral election for the Borough of Hamilton will take place tomorrow the Council Chambers beinr the Dolliii" booth.

The farms in the neighbourhood o£Te Awainutuand R-ingiaohia are now looking remarkably well, everywhere plenty of feed, while the potatoes and grain crops are looking magnificent, and should tho season continue as favourable as at present the yield will bo above the average For some time past there has been considerable talk in Cambridge about a number of calves that havo mysteriously disappeared off the run. Very awkward rumours are afloat regarding them, and the name of a prominent member of one ot the religious bodies is inentionod in connection therewith. The many friends of Mr J. McCrea, late ot Cambridge now of Wliangaroi. #ill be pleased to learn that he secured mst prize at tho Auckland Dog bhow with his greyhound "Tiii." The dog is well known in Cambridge as being equally as good in the field as he has proved on the show bench.

Wβ have received complaints from shearers, that the sleeping accommodation provided for them is not what it should be. Good clean straw does not make a bad bed, and is certainly preferable to sleeping on frosh ehorn fleeces of wool, bags of bone dust or baro boards, as some state they havo to do. Anyone in the neighbourhood of Cambridge who has found a young wild Koose will oblige by returning it to Mr James Young, of the Hamilton road. It ih one nt a pair that havo been presonted to the Domain Board by Mr Daurson of Whatawhata, and unfortunately escaped out of Mr Young's yard.

His first address will be given to-day at Ohaupo immediately after tho sale. We desire to draw the attention of settlers to the sale of young pureibred Shorthorn and Hereford bulls which Messrs McNicol and Co. will olfer on Thursday next at the Hamilton sale yards. These cattle have been bred on the Waikato Lxna Assoiatioii's property, Woodlands, and are the progeny of imported stock. It was reported yesterday that n boar pig of great siza was at largo in Hamilton West, and that it had committed unpleasant depredations on some of the potato plots in the vicinity of Hoodstreet.

The ladies of Te Awumutu have teen busy for some months past preparing for a sale of work, in aid of the Presbyterian Church, which they intend to hold in the Anglican Parsonage, at present unoccupied. Thoy could not possibly Ret a better place, and with the five large rooms and beautiful grounds, thoy will make a very attractive show. The tale was advertisod last vvoek to bo held in the Public Hall, but owing to tho volunteers having secured, it for

their annual trsiinins, tho Indies very wisely acted on tho brilliant idea of ouo of their number, and secured the parsonage from Mr Walton. Any friends contributing "oods or work of any kind, will please forward them to Mi's MscDonald, R'-slyn Cottage, before that dnte.
