SINGULAR DEATH OF A CHILD.

Inquest.

An inquest was held this afternoon at two o'clock at the Queen's hotel, corner of Sy mmd's-strcct and Kyber-pass-road, before T. M. Pliilson, Esq., M. D., and a jury on the body of an infant of threemonths old, named Selina Belt, who was found dead this morn ing by her mother's side. The evidence of the mother shewed that the child had been choked through sucking in a portion of her night-dress. After hearing this and the medical evidence the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death."

MR. REES ON THE PLATFORM: HE SPOUTETH.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —Mr Eees addresses the electors this evening, and I can only say that if they are such arrant fools as to listen to a prating lawyer they deserve to be disqualified ; and if Mr Dargaville condescends to put in an appearance he ought to lose his election, which at present he is certain to gain. The twiddle-dum-dee of Rees is of the washer woman's style ; well stuffed with soap-suds, aud calculated if anything to give Dargaville a lift. Many are the on clits in Auckland, and it is reported that a deputation of the Good Templars has waited on Mr Lusk ask ing him to resign in favour of Mr Dargaville, and that he (Mr Lusk), seeing the folly of his ways, has consented to retire. Possibly Rees will get this into his speech. E,ees, 1 daresay, will make a capital out of his spout ing. Poor old Power, the actor, who was drowned when acting "The Man on his Last Legs," jumped upon the sofa and exclaimed —not knowing what else to do—" Well, I have one shilhng left, but that is my last." I recollect him well; a true Irish humorist, and a man, I swear, that would, if alive and in Auckland, have voted for Dargaville. Retrenchment and Dargaville for ever! —l am, &c, Ever and Anon.—[Advt.]

THE SUPERINTENDENCY ELECTION.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —In this morning's Herald I noticed a report of Mr Dargaville's meeting at Manga wai. From the style in which it is written I should fancy that it was the composition of the chairman of that meeeting, who is an avowed supporter of Mr Williamson. The signature ""Morepork" is very appropriate and characteristic of the writer. Now, Mi- Editor, it happens that I was present at the meeting referred to, and I beg to state that the report, as it appears in the Herald, is a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end for the meeting was entirely in favour oi Mr Dargaville. The morepork is by nature a sleepy, chuckle-headed bird and possibly the Herald's correspondent " Morepork" had a dream, and afterwards committed the same to paper, and forwarded the same to the Herald, for the benefit of its readers. The cross-heading in the Herald ought to have been as follows :—" Our Correspondentin the Bush—He lieth.—l am sir,—One who was at the Meeting.—[Advt].

THE EVENTING STAB. WdlD *ESDA.?, OCTOBER 29, 1873.



TO MY BROTHER ELECTORS AND ROMAN CATHOLICS OF THE PRO VINCE OF AUCKLAND. Fellow Electors,—You will do me the favour to first ascertain before you vote for Mr John Williamson, whether it is not a fact that he is a sworn member of the Orange body ? Whether he has not identified himself with that sect here. And further, whether he has not acted as an officerto a lodge here when they formerly met at Kyber Pass road. And not only did he so act, but actually promised to set apart a site to build a hall on from the provincial reserves of the city. If this be so, as is confidently stated, I certainly shall pause before I vote for such a man.—l a m, &c, An Elector and a Roman Catho lic. —[Advt. j



(To the Editor of the Evening Stae.) Sir,-I have heard on very good authority that an uufortunatc supporter of Mr Dargav.'Ue's- a letter catrier at tho Thames—happening to express h!s views, has been discharged, and with a wife and family to support is now thrown out of employment. It would be well, Mr Editor, if the public could know the name of the officious official who committed such a praise worthy act; also, if orders had been sent by Mr Vogel to discharge any man in the Government holding a vote and not giving the same to Mr Williamson. If there is a spark of manhood amongst the electors of this province they will not aid and abet such a system of tyranny and oppression, by giving their vote to Mr Williamson.-lam, &c, Tiuoolok.—[Advt.]



To the Editor of the Evening Stae. Sir,—By permission I make use of your columns to again protest at my name being published ln 1 ..°. ve 1 of the morning contemporaries for Political purposes. If I chose to have a bit of iun at an electioneering meeting it was my own ioolc out for the consequences, and I attribute no Diame to others but ouly to myself. As I stated in one oi your recent publications, so I now endorse similar views. ' I require sympathy from no one, ?SvJf,t<i? Mlder li slleer hypocrisy for any one to ™«?S1 y sentlmental views on my behalf, which nS.?f c,ominon sense will necessarily admit must be n« nflrS «!.. 9 medium of my name being made use of is, in plain words, in the Herakl newspaper, and appears m a skittish letter simply to subserviate Pf^Wfi 0n grounds I object to my being dragged before the public. I have already stated that it is my intention to vote for Mr Darga ville, as I consider him to be the only independent candidate before the public. His promises may be extravagant but surely something will come out of them ; at all events I would almost guarantee that Auckland will eventually get more out of the General Government than she has ever done before for Mr Dargaville is no milksop. "When Greek meets Greek then comes the tug of war." The tug is about to be enacted, aud Ajax and Achilles are about to appear on the platform, and it will then be seen who is the master of the situation. The election should not depend upon religious creeds ; but if it should. I would enunciate that the Episcopalian Angli can Church is the most nearly allied to the Roman catholic. The former has never offered the same ob structions to the latter as the off-shoots from both laiths. Never has au uprising of mind emanated from Reformer, whilst in the off-shoots Roman Catholicism ■ keen despised. I introduce this fact by stating ■ Mr Dargaville is a Catholic and an Irishman: and «^ n£ lu1?'J or I shaU nofc address you again, I cadi upon Englishmen and Irishmen on the day of polling to remember what Nelson in his great Trafalgar vie- Siir« elt 6raphed t0 the fleot: "E°Sland expects that ttay that every man will do his duty," and return Dar-

WANTED KNOWN, that MISS PENNAL has much pleasure in in troducing to the public of Auckland the Most Useful Lock-stitch Sewing Machine ever yet imported : PRINCESS OF WALES. This admirable Machine is the most perfect Lock stitch Machine yet invented. It is so simple that the most inexperienced can operate it without any previous instruction, while it is incapable of derange ment by ordinary use. The range of application is practically unlimited ; anything that can be worn or require stitching in a house can be executed on this Machine. The tension rarely requires regulating. From muslin to dressed calico, woollen cloth, or even leather may be sewn without change of needle or cotton, or alteration of tension The work is easily guided by one hand, while the other is employed in turning it. When fixed on a stand it can be operated by hand or foot at ple?sure, and it is then as efficient as the most costly treadle machine. Besides all kinds of domestic use, it can be applied to many varieties of manufacturing use, such as dress-making, mantle making, stay-making, and tailoring. ENGLAND'S QUEEN. This remarkable Machine presents some entirely new features never before realised in a Sewing Machine, and making it more extensively useful and more varied in its application than any other Sewing Machine whatever, whether hand or treadle. In its application to plan sewing of every kind it exactly resemb es the Princess of Wales, but it it can be instantly changed without stopping the Machine to herring-bone stitching and to overseaming. This is effected by simply turning a screw, and the width and length of the stitch are regulated at pleasure. The arrangement permits of the overseaming 0" herring-boning of any fabiic whatever, and will be found of immense value in the manufacture of children's clothing and in ornamental work. It 3e »ms where elasticity is required the stitch of this Machine is superior to every existing Machine. It is important to observe that all these advantages are obtained with the most perfect simplicity of construc tion.
