A SINGULAR accident occurred in Elliott rfreet this morning, in which a horse and Any and a house and its inmates, narrowly railed a general smash. Just at the Corner of ■ Elliott and Darby-streets there r " ug iy turn where the curve of the Pinbanked street describes almost a right trie leaving a dangerous hole in the corner ft the bottom of which is a wooden house occupied by a Mrs Williams Just opposite on the other side of the street, is the substantial store of Mr Francis. This mornin" at about ten o'clock, one of Mr Elliott's men was taking a dray-load of rolled zinc, drawn by one horse, into the tore in front of which he had stopped while the gate was being opened The dray stood across the street, the back being wards the hole above mentioned. When the driver attempted to start the horse, the wheel caught against one of the unlevclled ruts left by the ditch for the water-pipe. The hoise," instead of going forward, sud denly backed, and in an instant the wheels were over the embankment; the cart went down rapidly, the shafts suddenly tipping up with the horse dangling by the harness in the air. The cart did not, however, perform a complete sommersault, but turned sideways, throwing the horse on his back between the shafts, the vehicle pnmin" at the same time into violent collison with the corner ot Mr Williams house, splintering oil' the corner post, and breaking a window. Prompt assistance was rendered by the employes of Brown, Barrett and Co. and Mr Whitson and horse and dray were got out. Singularly enough the horse was uninjured, the harness was intact, and only the guard irons of the dray were damaged. One of Mr Whitson's men received sonic severe scratches in extricat ing the horse.

TOKATEA MEETING. — SPLENDID APPEARANCE OF MINE.

Tokatea. —A meeting of directors was held to-day, when the manager's report was read, and shewed that the mine was never in «i more satisfactory state. Gold was shewing in four faces, and in large quanti ties. ROYAL Oak. —A crushing of general stuff yielded 32 ounces, and this is without the specimens obtained.

REMINISCENCES OF THE NORTH SHORE.

Tkuly the North Shore is a very nice place indeed, and so are the people. Although not quite an island, it has, like many similar appendages of the British Crown, its own peculiar and time-honoured privileges, as the early pioneers and primitive stone Avails attest. Rumour, moreover, tells that where the domestic hearth now is, .sur rounded by the bonny faces of white picinin nies, was not long ago the site of battle field and strife, in the good old cannibal times. Now, all this has been supplanted by churches, chapels, schools, and villas fit emblems of the Graces —Faith, Hope, and Charity. The North Shore has also its Reading Club and Public Hall; and last, but not by any" means least, its Naval Reserve and Shipping Yard, from whence come the finest yachts, as models, the Australian colonies have ever seen. Its watering places also claim a place, and the Devonports, and (Jheltenhams and, not far aAvayin the distance, the Lake, with its picturesque and beautiful surroundings. North Shore folks are nevertheless scarcely to be envied by their friends on this side the water, for there exists a Steam Ferry Company, nominal, its Directors, Share holders, and Managers residing for the most part in the ancient city of Auckland. Share holders on t'other side growl and say, " No dividend yet ? Calls a' pleuty." But why this ? Fingers point to railway trains, and cheap fares ; others cry aloud, and point to steam boats, and excessive charges, added to high rents and fcostly living, the air salubrious of the North Shore notwith standing. Verily, friends at the North Shore are a zealous people, not of good works, else they would learn to meet the times, and throw a sprat to catch a herring. Mark well the empty houses. Then as to privi leges,—and here there is an exception to the rule. Visitors are struck with the absence of a real limb of the law, as, free from excitement, that peaceful community is amply protected by a modest D. C., who now and again is to be seen in disguise, unmindful of his brief authority. But then these are some of the privileges and immunities,—and now for the moral. Have it thus : North Shore Steam Ferry Company, reduce yoiir fares, and double your business. Business men of he NorthShore,reduce your rents, etc., and do likewise. Then the bracing air of your seaside will tempt many to enjoy with you the daily seasonable relaxation from toil, and make it the happy home of many a happy family. Adieu ! —X. Y.Z.

THE MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.

(To the Editor of the STAR.) Sir.—lt is painfully evident that there is a sad falling off in the evening attendance at this valuable institution. During these cold evenings there is no fire, and from some of the windows a draught comes in sufficiently cold to freeze the marrow in people's bones. The lights are also wretchedly bad, but I do not know whether it is caused by bad gas, bad burners, or the abominably dirty glass globes, which do not lookas if they had been cleanedf or six months at least; possibly the bad light is caused by a combination of the three evils refered to. Of course, I do not attach any blame to the worthy librarian, who is so eminently distinguished for civility and attention, but the committee of management, like the dirty globes, want polishing up, and would be greatly benefited by one or two members of the gentle sex to keep them in order.— Yours, etc., A .Subscriber.

WALKER ON THE STUMP IN DUNE DIN.

DUNEDIN. this day.

Walker's first public meeting was crowded; Mr Charles Bright, spiritualist and free-thought lecturer, occupied the chair. The morning' papers rather lean to him, but the "Star" comments on the proceed ings, saying :—" The believers in spiritual ism were evidently in a large majority, and they backed the Medium up with applause .on every possible occasion. Especially was this noticeable with a knot of ladie"s and gentlemen near the platform, who were once addressed by the Chairman as " The Committee," and it was interesting to notice how they sat with open mouths and beaming faces as Walker poured out a glowing description of a "Life of continued pleasure" that awaited human beings immediately on their death ; also, how they relished and applauded every scoff or sneer levelled at the Bible. When some of the audience at the conclusion of the lecture asked the Medium questions, no matter what Walker answered, the stamping of feet and clapping of hands was great; as much as to Kay that the Medium had completely confounded sceptics, instead, as was the case, of the replies being either mere evasion or else utter nonsense ; such as that in the next world musicians will congregate together, ,-uid con tinue their occupation ; that policemen, in stead of having a cessation from their weari some duties, will be massed in one enormous posse ; that doctors will continue to operate upon patients, who, although it was pre viously stated that they would leave their physical bodies on this earth, are apparently to take their diseases, deformities, or wounds into the spirit land." AUCKLAND COMPETITOR FOR TOWN HALL PLANS. The Town Hall plans have been referred to a Commiltee to report. "Veritas" (Auckland), and " Leo" (Lawson's) will have a close run for iirst honours.

OPENING ENTERTAINMENT.

The introductory or inaugural entertainment of the Young Men's Christian Association was held last evening in the Lome-street Hall, which was crowded with supporters of the Association, and interested listeners. According to previous announcement, the Venerable Archdeacon Maunsell took tho chair. An excellent choir of singers were in attendance, under the efficient guidance of Mr Theo. Cooper, Mr Lambert pre siding at the harmonium. Prayer having been offered, the Hon. Sec, Mr Thomas Buddie read the report of the state of the Association, finan cially and otherwise, with which readers arc al ready acquainted. The Chairman next addres sed the meeting in a characteristic speech, of an encouraging and hopeful character," expressing hope that the Young Men's Christian Association would become one of the most effective Christian societies in the city, as it contained the elements of good within it. He also referred to the Sun day evening services at the Theatre, which originated with the friends of the Association, and he was glad to state that these services were nearly self-supporting. This society, unlike many others, was entirely devoted to Christian work, hence it was strictly a Christian Associ ation. The venerable Chairman reviewed the work of other similar societies in Melbourne, and other towns, and considered that with due public patronage and support, the Auckland Young Men's Christian Association will equal these and others in works of Christian usefulness. Mr Larkins, a gentleman who has made himself popular as a lively and interesting speaker since his arrival in this city from London, delivered an address on his experiences of London life showing the dangers and surroundings of young men in the world's metropolis. Mr Larkins had ample scope for his discourse, and following in the steps of the late Thomas Binney, the minister of Weigh House chapel, he had the happy faculty of condensing his matter, and interspersing it with seasonable anecdotes. Dr Ellis's address on "Money" was excellent in all its parts, treat of the real uses of money, and how it may be made a means of beneficence or misery to its possessors, and those about them. The address shewed considerable research, and a ripe judg ment in regard to the gold, which persons who have none affect to regard with the utmost, con tempt, and who profess to care nought for the current coin, which is, in the words of poor Tom Hood, " Heavy to get and light to hold.'' Rev. Mr Robertson, minister o£Bercsford-street, came forward with a carefully-prepared paper on " Character," which was excellent in detail, and full of wise reflections. In a word, the ad dresses were unexceptional both in character and style, and were well received. The choir and Orpheus Glee Club rendered several glees and anthems during the evening. Mr Joseph Newman, an old supporter of the Association, pro posed a vote of thanks t~> the Chairman and the choir, which was seconded by Captain Daldy, and carried by acclamation. The Chairman then pronounced the benediction, and the proceedings were quietly brought to a close.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The interesting drama of " Lisa Ecclcs, or Life in New York" was successfully repeated last evening at the Theatre Royal, before a large and respectable audience. We noticed this drama at length in our last issua, and still maintain the opinions therein expressed. Messrs Baker and Farron possess abilities of a fascinating character, and throughout the course have been successful in drawing full houses, and raising the laughter of the thou sands. The inarch and song of the Gallant Volunteers again formedapleasing feature of the drama, and the ducts and songs of the'principals were again welcomed and received in a manner which must have afforded satisfaction to the new singers. " Lisa Eccles" will be introduced for the third time this evening.
