MAYFIELD.

From Onr Own Correspondent.

RAIN AND THK CROPS, Huavy showers of rain have fallen during the past few days, and as I write it is rain ing steadily from the south-wesb. Tina ie exactly what wo wanted about here, as the land was getting quite parched and the grass was withering fast. The pinch was also beginning to be felt in thoßo parts of Ruapuna and Montalto supplied from the Limestone Creek racea, aa the dam was very low. Now, however, a supply is ensured for some time to come. Turnips acd rape have grown inches since the beginning of this week. BEE SWARMING During the hot blinks of sun between the showers lately, the bees have been very active, and an extra number of swarms eeem to be coming off. THB NEW TEACHER Mr A, Cooper, of Teddington, iB teacher elect for our Mayfieid eohool, vice Mr 0. Bonrke transferred to West Eyreton. ACCIDENTS While returning home on his bicycle on Sunday evening from Peel Forest, Mr W J Hewitt) met with what appeared at the time to be a very serious accident, While riding along the Poverty flit road, opposile Mr D O Seweil's house, the bicycle came in contact with a large etone, bursting the tyre, and landing Mr Hewitt on the crown of his head oh the hard road, rendering him quite insensible. In this condition he wes picked up by Mr Oree, and conveyed home io kia trap. When first found Mr Cree thought he was dead, as he felt stiff and cold ; bat after being placed in warm blankets he recovered, and is now able to be about again appaiently none the worse for his mishap.—While feedicg in front of Mr Doak't! atom, hern, on Wednesday afternoon two horses yoked to a dray took fright at the report of a gun, and galloped along the Ruapuna road. The man in charge, who is a noted runner, managed to overhaul them before they got full speed on, and pulled up ths ehafter, bat the leader got away through the chains coming undone, and made homewards. No damage appeared to have been sustained.— As Mr Wm. Dellow was taking his horses to the paddock on Wednpeday evening, in endeavouring to " head off" a youDg horse, the one he was riding stumbled, and in \ regaining its footing threw Mr Dellow '• heavily on the road, severely biuising his left thigh. He was able to get home, but is cow confined to bed, very stiff and sore. There are no bones broken. SCHOOL CLOSED. Owing to the diphtheria scare, the chur" man of the School Committee deemed it advisable on Wednesday to close the school nntil auih time as it shall be deemed safe to re-open again. THE RECENT FROST. Fruit crops of all kinds h iive been almost completely destroyed by the severe frost, on November 6. At first it was not anticipated to bi nearly so b%d, but now all are ruined, and any fruit requited will have to be imported. I have also noticed that the greater number of rosebuds have been nipped, and also the young shoots on the trees. lUNGITATA HBADWOUKS. The County Council aro energetically pushing forward the completion of the heid wotk«, abandoned by Mr Compton. Nearly half a hundred men, and a traction engine, •to,, are employed, under the supervision of Mr Phil. Norman, Altogether it presents quite a lively appearance, and we may look for the auxiliary water eupply in a very short time.

THE ELECTIONS.

Mr Slaslin at Stavcly.

Mr Maslin met the e'ectors in the Stavely Hall on Tuesday. Mr Evans took the chair and briefly introduced the candidate, who spoke on most of the implant political questions nf the d-iv, and was well received. jn reply to questions, Mr Manlin said he onuld not support a Conservative administra tion, bub wcu'd support a Liberal Govern ment. The u^ual votes of thanka to the speaker and chair brought a weh attended meeting to a close.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Pal/MHrston North, November 24 Mr J. iiulcheaon, M.H.R. fur Wel lington, addressed the electors of Palmeretf.il last evening. Ths theatre waa crowded, ard ihe meetirg was a very rowdy one. Mr fiutcheson met with fr»qtient interruptions and at'imea cou'd not be heard. Hia address was devoted to a criticism of the Goverment adminis tration, the speaker pointing ont the great need existing for reforms, He alleged that Wellington was a seething mass of corruption, owing to so many being dependent on Government. Mr Pirani also addressed the meetirg, and replied to some statements nnrde by the Premier concerning himself. Mr Pirani had a hostile reception, and experienced difficulty in maklag himself heard. A vote of thanks to Mr Hutcheson was carried amid uproar, and a motion of no confidence in the Government was declared by the Chairman to be carried unanimously on the volets. A large Bealion of the audience refrained from voting. 4616 namaa are on the Palmerston electoral roll, and 840 on the two snp plementaries, making a total of 5456 names.
