DISTRESSING CASE.-A SETTLER FOUND UNCONSCIOUS IN THE WHARE.

The Mercer train yesterday "brought down Mr Alexander Scott, a West Pnkekohe settler, whose case illustrates the hardships to which our settlers in scattered dis -17 I »™ v exposed. It appears that Mr hcott lived alone in a whare on his land, where he was accidentally discovered by some neighbouring settlers lying in an exhausted and unconscious state, having evi dently been taken so ill that he was unabie to crawl to his nearest neighbour, who lived a considerable distance off. How long he had been in this condition it is impossible to say, but there is little doubt that had he not fortunately been discovered, he would have been beyond hope of recovery. Even now the unfortunate man is in a very precarious state. No time was lost in conveying him to Mr Godkin's hotel at the Pnkekohe station where he receved every attention until the train arrived and he was sent on under the care of the guard, Mr Page, and conveyed ts the hospital. [Since the above was in. type, we learn tha^ although he received ev< ry attention, he died Oj two o'clock this mormug.]

REVIVAL SERVICES TO-NIGHT.

It is earnestly desired that there will be a large attendance at the special service which is to be held in the Young Men's Christian Association Rooms, corner of Wellealey and Albert-streets, to-night. Our readers may not all be aware that the daily service from 12 to 12.45 is continued in the school-room, behind the Independent Chapel, High street, which was chosen for convenience to the business centre of the city. The service to-day was conducted by the Rev. D. Bruce, of St. Andrews. The attendance was not so large as it should have been, but the proceedings were characterised by great earnestness. Several gentlemen who have been actively engaged in promoting the effort to create a spiritual revival in the city en gaged in prayer, and hymns from a specially prepared collection, printed in Auckland in a convenient pamphlet form, were sung. The weekly service takes place to-night, as already stated, in the Young Men's Christian Association rooms. These services are entirely unsectarian, and should be more generally attended by persons of every denomination. They are also designed with a view to attract those who do noc ordinarily attend any place of worship.

Notes in the Waikato.

(From our own Correspondent.)

NOVEL HOBSE CURE.

William Eughes, a half-caste, who lives at Totara Pukapuka, near Kopua, and who cultivates many acres of land there, had a horse that got staked under one of its fore legs, which made it quite lame He obtained the following herbs, viz., poporo, pavara, panuko, and hutiwai, put a portion of each into a pot of water and boiled them for some time, and with this lotion he bathed the wounded leg of the horse ; in a few days the horse was able to walk on the leg. The wound was a very dangerous one, and was at the least four inches deep.

RANGIAOHIA SCHOOL AND CHURCH,

At ftangiohia the settlers have subscribed £100 for the purpose of erecting a school and teacher's house, and applied to the Board of Education for a similar sum, which however has been refused on the ground of their hav ing no funds available for that purpose. As the settlers have all paid the Education Eate for the past year, they think that the Board has not treated them fairly. They really intend at once to build a house for the teacher, who is already ap pointed by themselves. The Church of England at this place, formerly built by the natives through Bishop Selwyn, has lately been re-shingled, and the steeple is now covered with zinc ; this ha 3 all been done at the expense of the settlers. This is the native church which was entirely built of matai wood, and is in a good state of preser vation. THE ALEXANDRA HALL. The hall that was being built in Alexandra when I was there in March last is not yet completed, and at the present time no work men, are employed on it. An offer was made to the committee by the Presbyterian body a short time ago to furnish funds to complete the hall, if the committee would allow them the use of the building for conducting their Sunday services. The committee discussed this proposal and then they discovered that they had enough funds in hand to complete the building themselves, and therefore* declined the Presbyterian offer. • BENEFITS OF THE RAILWAY. The inhabitants of Alexandra have for the last five months suffered severely in conse quence of the inability of the steamers to came up the river, owing to the great draught. They have had to employ barges to bring op their goods, and the additional expenses incurred reaches, with*the extra for cartage, 75s per ton. They have, how ever, already benefited by the opening of the railway to Mercer, as the freight on goods has been reduced to 45s per ton, whilst previous to the opening of the railway 90s per ton was charged. POSSIBLE MAORI WAR. During my stay at Alexandra I was for two evenings° in the company of several of the members ef. the armed constabulary force, and was glad to hear them express it as their undivided opinion that during the life-time of Manuhirii Rewi and the King, no war would ever arise, as they had decided to have peace at any price. They also were of opinion that their successors might possibly hasten on a war, but should one ever arise, it would require at least a good equipped army of 4,000 men to subdue and oc cupy the country and the nature of the country would be in favour of the natives, and a great sacrifice of Europeans would necessarily be made before the strong Maori position could be taken and held possession SIR CHARLES BURDETT. Strange to say, at Alexandra may be seen no less a person than Sir Charles Burdefct, Bart, who is now serving as a constable there.

DISTRICT COURT.

(Before. His, Honor Judge Beckham.) YESTERDAY. —(Continued. )

The action brought by Messrs Ryan and Bell against Capt. Morrison, for recovery of damages sustained by plaintiffs, was not con cluded last evening. The claim was for damage done to slates and billiard tables on their passage from London in the Emily McLaren, ni which ship the defendant was master.—Mr Bell described the condition of the cases and goods when received at their stores in Vulcan Lane.-Albert Smith, cabinet-maker, surveyed the goods at the re quest of Mr Yon der Heyde, and observed a dent on the stringer, which must have re sulted from a heavy blow.—Walter Best a receiver on the wharf, ob served that ore of the cases was bent, and refused to give a clean receipt. William Andrews deposed to the position of the cases, and William Walsh proved taking the goods f 'ft-Crrug's yard,to Ryan and Soft's rtw*» »»<* «•» I'W2* X eW9 m9S

taken of them in the transit. John Slater assisted in unpacking the cases, and Edward Cotter, cabinetmaker, described the damage., Several witnesses gave similar evidence, when the Court adjourned.

THIS DAY.

His Honor took his seat at 10 30. Mr. Hesketh for the plaintiff, and Mr Whitaker for defendant.

Mr Whitaker respectfully submitted that the plaintiff should be nonsuited, as no evi dence had been produced to shaw that there was any negligence on the part of the ship ; the ship was not liable for delay breakage or damage, and the whole matter rested with the question of improper stowage, aud it was absolutely essential thut evidence of gross negligence or improper stowage should be forthcoming. He believed that the damage was done previously to the goods being shipped, and without such necessary evidence hi 3 learned friend could not possibly support the action.

Mr. Hesketn addressed the Court for plaintiffs, and submitted that the condition of tbe case, for which the receiver would not give a clean receipt, was of itself evidence of negligence, and for such improper treatment the master was held to be liable. It was clear further that the breakage of the elates were of recent date. He had also shewn that there had been a blow, which was not denied, and he sub mitted that ample evidence had been brought forward in favor of plaintiffs' claim, and was sufficient to call upon the ship to answer for the damage done.

His Honor said that as there was the in dentation in the ease, he thought that would be primafacie evidence of improper .stowage, antl if that case was in a bending position, as had been shown by witnesses, tbe damage might thus have been caused, and he thought the master should be called upon to shew that the case was properly stowed. Roger Morrison, master of the ship Emily McLaren, deposed that he saw tbe cases in London, and they were properly stowed ; he was not aware that they had been damaged; he saw them taken out "of the hold, and des cribed their position on the wharf. The evidence of Mr Best was untrue in respecb of their position.
