MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.

DEATH OF REV. T. BOOKER

It is our sad duty to record the death of the Rev. T. Booker, of the Cougregafcional Church, lately the esteemed minister of Newton, and suhsequentiyjocated at Maungatauroto, on the Kaipara. ] 'i^m information to-day received by the Rer. VVarlow Davies, and kindly placed at our disposal, it appears that the deceased gentleman was engaged with his son, on the 7th instant, in felling a tree, when the tree suddenly from the course which it was expected to take, fell on Mr. Booker and instantly killed him. The deceased gentleman had come out from England with the Non conformist settlers, and being subsequently placed at Newton had been mainly instru mental in the building of the former church, which wa3 last year blown down by the gale. He was then appointed by the Congregatioaai mission to labour inthe Kaipara district, where hecarri-d on the work of the ministry with great acceptance until the time of his death. Ho was a man of great prudence, and faithful and earnest in the discharge of his duties, and esteemed and beloved by all those with whom he came in contact. It h needless to say that the intelligence of this melancholy event has been received with deep and general sorrow.

COME UP AND TEETOTAL.

Tjie San Francisco News Letter says :— We are in receipt of a neatly printed pamphlet entitled the " Teetotaller," which starts out on its career of useful ness " under the auspices" of one John Blob. John begins refreshingly thus : — " Oh brother, why will ye, and why will ye not ? Lo! the crystalline liquid drip peth from the rock, and wasteth upon the plain—and ye will not. The fiery poison movcth itself in the glass—and ye will. O miserable blind ; there is no safety for thee but in our band of tee totallers ! Come wp and teetotal. Come and join thy thirsty spirit unto ours, even as a drop is joined unto its ocean !" If John means this last as an invitation to drop in and take a drink, he ought to tell us where his bar is. Mr. Blob, as a philologer, you are without a parallel; the verb "to teetotal" is the grandest conception of the age. Hereafter it shall be the dearest pleasure of our existence to visit the public schools and hear that delicious part of speech conjugated. Fancy the rapture of hearing from the rosy lips of some young thing verbal music as this : —" I teetotal, you tee total, he tectotals," etc.. through all the moods and tenses ! We have never tee totallsd any, Mr. Blob, but your touching picture of the water going to waste on that unappreciative prairie affects us to tears. We know tit last why the ocean is called " a waste of waters;" it was christened so by a teetotaller, who grieves because he could not drink it all. John Blob, if we had your mouth drawn over a pump-spout and soldered water-tight above the edges, we should exalt and depress the handle of that useful machine with unwavering constancy, until your skiu should be equal in tension to the head of a drum. Then we should beat upon the same an exceedingly lively air,

A STRANGE STORY.

The following is related by the Kyneton Guardian: —"The police hare recently been investigating a case, the chief peculiarity of which is that they have been set in motion by an alleged com munication from the spirit world. Some 20 or 21 years ago there was a man named Waugh residing in Melbourne, whose, avocation was that of a carrier. Returning from a trip to the country, he found that his daughter had got married in his absence, and he was greatly annoyed thereat, and she was only a girl of 15 or 16 years of age. However, his resentment was not of long duration. He was reconciled to his daughter and her husband, and promised to start them in business. He left them shortly after the reconciliation ■, and was never more seen by them—all they knew of his intended movements being that he was to sleep that night at the house of Ids sister, in Bourke-street west, near Goldsbrough's ■wool stores. His sister's account was, that "Waugh went on business to Duns ford's station (now Lacenfield) and that whilst riding from there to Kyneton he was accidentally thrown from his horse and killed. She disposed of a quantity of personal property belonging to her brother which was in her possession, the curator of intestate estates being ■eldom troubled in those days, and, in the excited times which followed, Waugh's disappearance was soon for gotten. Kecently a man named Camp bell has informed the police that he has received a communication from Waugh's spirit to the following effect: — M was murdered by Liz (his sister) with a poker. Dig four feet under the ground at the rear of the house, and you will find my body.' Taking into account Waugh's mysterious disappearance, and the fact that no authentic record can be found of his death, the police have considered them selves bound to make inquiries to test the value of this information. So far, we believe, they have been unable to find any confirmation of the reported accident by which Waugh was said te have lost his life, or indeed to learn anything at all about the man in this district. Whether they have searched the premises in Mel bourne we are not a-ware, although we understand they have received permission to do so. The publication. of these par ticulars may perhaps assist the police in obtaining a clue to the fate of Waugh. It may be added that both his sister and her husband committed suicide by cutting their throats."
