FATAL ACCIDENT.

A TERRIBLE AFFAIR.

A terrible accident, with a fatal result, ocourred at Wakannl yesterday, the vlotlm being a youth named Samuel Kennedy, 19 yeara of age, and the eldest eon of Mr Hagh Kennedy, of Elgin and who was employed at Mr E. Thomas' Wakanui Flour Mill- The deceased was it appears going to sharpen a grubber on a grindstone, the latter being driven by a belt attached to the shaft of the mill wheel from which the power to drive the machinery iv the building is derived. It was m putting tho belt on the shaft that the accident happenod. Young Konnody apparently got^his arm entangled m the bolt and was immediately drawn round tbe shaft. This latter revolves m a spaoa between heavy beams 3ft 6in apart, and as tbe unfortunate youth waa whirloi round his heai was dashed against the beams with each revolution of the shaft. Mr Cockburn, the nrller, on entering the | building had bis attention arroßted by a peculiar noise, which ho found to be caused by poor Kennedy's boots and head striking again Bt the beams. Mr Oockburn at once rushed and stopped tho mill wHeel and came to the assistauca of tho youth. A terrible sight awaited him. Ihe arm whioh had been entangled In the belt was torn away from the body, and remained In the nooje of the leather, whioh apparently had oaught tbe limb and so cached the lad's doom. Poor Kennedy was twisted round the shaft, hla head frightfully battered, and his olothoa rent ar.d torn. The heavy beams wora splashed with blood, and a lar^e pool on the fl ior testified to the terrible battering to whioh the unfortunate yonth had been subjected. Mr Oookburn cnt tho lad d iwn aud Oirriod tbe mangled body to Mr Thomas' home, sending away for Dr Trevor, The latter was apeedily on the spot, but young Kennedy died about two minutes after his arrival, Ho never regained conaolous neaa after the accident, the only sign of life be gave being two or three dlsj ilntod aentencas uttered when he waa taken off the shaft by Mr Cckbarn.

An lnqaost was held at Mr Thomas' house this ftfternoon, before Maj >r Steward, Actlng-Ooroner, when a verdlot m acooidanoe with the facts wua returned.

CELERY AS A FOOD AND MEDICINE.

Numerous cares of rheumatism by the use of oelery have recently been an nounced la English papers ; bat the following, more In detail, ia given on the authority of the " Now York Times " : — 11 New discoveries — or what claim to be dlaooverles — of the healing vlrtaea of plauts are continually being made. Oue ot the lateit ia that oelery is a cure for rheumatism ; indeed it la asserted that tho disease is impossible if the vegetable be oooked and freely eaten. The faoc that It h always put on the lable raw provens ifcg therapeutics pawora from being known. Tho oalury Bhou'd be cut into blta, boiled In wator aut^.aoft, and the water drauk by tho patient. Pat now milk, with a little flour and nutmeg, Into a aaucepan with boiled oelery, eerve It warm with apieoeof toast, eat it with pota toes, and tho painful aliment will aoon yield, buch ia the declaration of a phy sician who has again and a^ain tried tho experiment and with uniform succes;. Ho adds that sold or damp never produces batsinip'y develops tho disease, of whioh acid blood la tho primary and sustaining cacao, and that while iho blood 1b a kalioe theio can be neither rhenraatism nor gout. Knul'ah Btatiatfci show that m one year (1876) 2640 persons d'od of rheuma tism, and every case, it is claimed, might havo been cured or prevented by tho adoption of the remedy mentioned. At least two-thirds of tho Oises numed heart disease are ascribed to rheumatism and its agonising ally, gout. Small-pox, so much dreaded, ia not hulf co destructive oa rheumatism which, it is nnlntainod by manj phyaicia a, can be pre?entnd by obeying Nature's laws m diet, But if y,n have lacoirjd it, boiled o.lery is pro nounood unhesitatingly to ba a Bpeo fio.

LICENSING IN NORWAY

In an Interesting aooouat of a trip to Norway the London corroapondent of the " PrefB 11 (OhrUtohurotO thus refers to the sen^ort of Bergon : — •

They are known aa a festive lot, these same inhabitants of Bergon, though there are absolutely no amußemonts there— no theatre, no music halls, no beer gardens. But thoy chatter m tho streets all summer and dance much during tho long winter, and ara a cheery, and taking then all round, a good-looking raoe Among the mountains the people look more or leas dull and haggard, but the Borgenite is a joyous orealnre. You never nee a drunken man or a beggar m the town.

OorUlniy drink oacue) but little misery (hero, for tho strictness of tho Hoarding laws is ono of the features of tho plaoe, Yoars ago the inhabitants of Bergen were as fond of spirits as the people of most northern nations, but tho Temperance party came strongly to the front, und the following system waa Initiated, and haß boon proved to bo a most beneficial one :— The Bale of spirits was plocsd m the hands of the municipality, who, as oompansation to tho proprietors of gin places and tho holders of pplrlt Hoonßes, pay them ovor the first 5 per cent out of the profits, Tho remainder of tho profits Is expended m works of use and benefit to the inbnbitanls of the town. Thus the hospitals got a largo share of this balance, as do the publio gardens. There Is a beautiful walk In the neighborhood of the town that has boon entirely constructed out of tho monoy so obtained. It is called by some tho "dram walk." But if tho municipality know how to expend In a profitable manner the money obtained by the aalo of spirits, they are In do hurry to get it, I and the laws for supplying drink are most stringent. There are thirteen houses In Bergon where spirits la retail can bo pro cured, but m moat of the bais there aro no seats whatever. A man en tore, takes his "nip," and has Immediately to dopart. They will not supply him with a seoond one, exoapt on very special occasions. The Urgent of tho public hoanoH la m tho market plcca. In this building there Is alarge room, open froo to workmen, (a which their wives can bring their moals lo be comfortably eaten at lolbcim. But it may be Biid — cannot a man by a peregrination of tho town, obtain 13 " nips," and do, after all, defeat legislation. Nothing of the sort. If an ludividual shows tho slluhtußt eynap torn of exolternent even nothing will bo nerved to him. Tho least glitter In tho topet'a oyo and the door is cloned upon him. Whole bottles of apirlto you may boy, but if you purchase leBB than a bottle you mu»t pay doable for the con tents. Tn ordinary hotels you on obtnin no iplrlts, only beor and wine. The houses whoro spirits are sold are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., oxcept that thoy uro cloned from noon till 1.30 p.ra , when tho workmen aro of! duty for their dinners. Another shock for tho noble army uf llconßod vlc'uaUers 1 'I ha houses &re not open on Sundays. On Fiiturdays they are closed at 5 p.m., nnd the aame happens on every day before a publio holiday. Shock on shock 1 Bat thero (■ no groan ing among the Inhabitants of Bjrgon. They manage to live and be jolly under those stringent rules. Grlrao and pauper- Ism hare decreased m a inoßt marked manner.

THE STANLEY EXPEDITION.

(BY iSLECTRIO TELEORAPH — OOPYttiaHTj

(per press association, )

London, September 24. Barttelot's expedition has been dis banded, the death of the leaders hay ng made its success hopeless.

(Received September 26, 1150 a.m.) London, September 24. Fahran, Stanley's Syrian interpreter, has arrived here, and reports that he left Major Barttelott'a comp at Armo himi three days before the latter was murdered. He confirms ihe statementr already made respecting Barttelott's cruel and tyrannical conduct towards the men. Stanley, on the other hand, was always considerate to the members of his parly, and had strongly enforced on the other leaders the necessity of exercising kindness to the Natives. Fahran says that Barttelol's cruelty to the men commenced as soon as Stanley left and brought on him the hatred of Tippoo Tib, so he seized every oppor tunity to obstruct him m all possible ways. Fahran believed that Stanley has reached Emm Bey, but ad/nits that there is ground for the anxiety regard ing him. The London press oppose further expeditions, on the ground that already too many valuable lives and a considerable amount of money have been sacrificed m Central Atrica.

I Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Moie precious than gold. — During summer anil autumn the prevailing diseases arc diairluca, dyscnlry, fevers, and English cholera, par- ticularly dangerous to children and young people. In these acute cases, where internal medicines cannot be retained, the greatest relief will immediate result from rubbing Holloway's soothing Ointment over the abdomen. The friction should be frequent and brisk, to ensure the penetration Of a large portion of the ungent. This ointmcnti calms the excited peristaltic action, quickly allaying the pain, lioth vomiting and gripping yield to it ; where fruits or vegetables have originated the malady, it is proper to remove all undigested matter from the bowels by a moderate dose of Holloway's Fills before using the ointment.
