Rkcovkry or- Miss Kisiir. —I am glad to say that Miss Kerr—a young lady who while driving in a buggy from Alexandra oil the occasion of the late annual races there was somewhat injured—is getting better The other occupants of the rniggy were Mr W. .I. Tristram and 'lie young lady's sister. Miss Kerr was severely shaken and had her collar-bone broken. Tt was feared at one time that she had sustained internal injuries, but L am glad to know that she is recovering although still very weak. 1 think it would have been the right thing for the parties who caused the accident to havo called and enquired as to her state at least. Hauvkstisc. —The farmers here, in else where, have had very bad luck in the important matter of the weather. I regict, to say that in several cases the i;reat amount of'ram which fell this season has caused the wheat to sprout in the ear and in many instmens the crop upon being thieshed has been sold for fowl wheat ! I have been informed that oil some farms the crop has been stacked in a damp condition, '.am "lad to that Messrs Henry MmiciU'lf, Ashb.y, Thomson and Ross, were lucky enouiih to gut in the greater part of tlieii corn ill good weather. They took advantage of the few very hot and dry days and cut, saved, and stacked their wheat and oats. That excellent farmer aud indefatigable man, Mr Robert Cockerline, was in great request with his reaper and binder. Mil \V. JT. <!kaci:'s Coo.sKiiuwiv Cakiihn'. —Mr W. H. Craee scoured an excellent allotment at the corner of Callowaj -street for a gooseberry garden last year, lie has made considerable improvements on the land by clearing it of twitch grass, sorrel, &c., and the plot, which was planted last season, has been well dug over and attended tn by a good gardner, Mr Joseph De Kretis, who has obtained a capital name as an experienced aud industrious workman. Mr.l ennings(Mr Craces chief gardener) deserves also in this connection a word of praise for his elliciency and skill. Tl.e gooseberry garden will doubtless yield a good crop. Vcitzu XrisANi'i:. — I am glad to see that Mr James Karrell (chairman of the Kihilcihi Town Boatd) and his brother commissioners ate determined to "go for this nuisance straight.'' All persons whose allotments are covered with this abomination, and with sweet biiar, itc., have been ordered to clear their properties. 1 think this is a step in the right direction. 1 nol e, tliat our enterprising fellow townsman, Mr Ghas. Ellis, has secured the lease of several vacant allotments which are covered with fur/.e, and he intends to clear and fence them, with a view to laying them down in grass.
