The specimen crushing is looking splendid, and the general stuff is showing up very well. NATIVE LAND COURT.

The Native Lands Court is sitting at Ohinenrarj. A number of half disputed cases have been disposed of. All the lands within the goldfields' boundary have been withdrawn from the Court. The lands occupied by Marsh aud Snodgraas, settlers at Pairoa and Mackaytown were passed through, and titles issued.

WELLINGTON, this day.

SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

An accident occurred on the Hutfc railway yesterday afternoon, causing a serious, and it is feared, fatal injury to a fire man named Robert McLachlan. ~* §Tne mid-day train from the Hutt, due at Wellington, left the lower Hutt station at the proper time, drawn by a large double Fairlie engine. The train travelled at tue usual speed of about 15 miles an hour. Before reaching Ngahauranga, McLachlan was seen to stoop to put coal in the furnace, and immediately afterwards something was heard to fall off the engine. It was sup posed to be a lump of coal, and no notice at first was taken, but almost immediately afterwards, the driver having occasion to call over to McLachlan, he was missed. The train was brought to a standstill within 300 yards from the place where the fall was heard, bnt nothing was seen of McLaclilau. The train was backed until at length the driver caught sight of him lying on <i bank, nmong some weeds and thistles, by the side of the line. He was brought on to town and carried to the hospital. On examina tion he was found to be .suffering from a severe concussion of the brain. Blood was oozing from the ears, and the case alto gether is a very bad one. McLachlan is about 49 years of age, unmarried, and a very steady man. He has been in the railway service about 18 mouths. The only way the accident can be aceountotl for is on the supposition that when stooping for coals he was seized with sudden giddi ness, and fell backwards from tho engine. No blame is attachable to anyone. SUICIDE. The police received information yester day inogung from Poriruu that a man named.HJo3eph Bartlett had been found dead/a his bed yesterday morning with lip iv;oat cut from oar to ear. The oeceasV i s stated to have been a very ■ steatly„ )nau. He was unmarried, and U\? !act of llis having £8 in his pocket oiW & is clear the act was not I aZS Cd tlwouSh want.

MR ANDREWS' CHARACTERISTIC LETTER.

The following characteristic letter was received at a meeting of the Education Board yesterday, from Mr Andrew.% an nouncing his resignation :—" To the Chair man of the Education Board : Dear sir,—l write to resign the seat which I have so long held on the Wellington Education Board. I had delayed doiiig so, so long as there was any prospect of my being able shortly to resume an active share in its duties. I take this step with regret, for though the ordinance that constitutes the Board was, I hold, born in iniquity, yet, like other beings with a similar taint, it has done, and will, I trust, continue to do a great deal of practicable good.—l am, yours faithfully, J. Andkew." CONFERENCE OF CLERGY.

Dreadful Murder by a Lunatic, —A Warder Stabbed in the Kitchen.

The report of a stabbing case at the Lunatic Asylum is confirmed, and caused sensation here. The particulars are as follows :—After having dinner yesterday, Frederick AVhite, one of the principal warders, proceeded to the kitchen Mark Price, an inmate, soon after came in, and asked White for his keys. White said he had given them to another warder. Price immediately picked up a carving knife lying on the table, and stabbed White, just below the heart. The force of the blow was so great that the knife-blade entered White's body its full length. White died about 20 minutes afterwards. Price who has been an inmate of the Asylum 14 years, was considered perfectly harmless, and alloAvcd complete liberty both in and about the Asylum. White had been a warder several years, and was highly res pected by ali who knew him. It is not known what Prices?s object was in asking for White's keys. There had been a quarrel between the two men previously. Another warder was in the kitchen when the sad event occurred, but had no oppor tunity of preventing it. FATAL ACCIDENTS. The reported accident on the railway arose from the following causes:—Yesterday morning Mr and Mrs Berry, elderly people, were driving near the railway crossing at Templeton. The train came up and frghtened the horse, which bolted, and up-set the trap, occupants thrown violently out. Mr Berry fell en his head and broke his neck, and Mrs Berry sustained a severe fracture of the right arm. It is a some what singular fact that Mr Berry"s daughter is married to k* son of Mr White, who was stabbed by a lunatic at the asylum yesterday, so that each lo3es a parent on the same dey, and very nearly about tne same time. SAVINGS' BANKS IN SCHOOLS. The Board of Education resolved to recommend various school committees to establish a system of penny savings' banks in their, schools. A man named John Fraser was found dead on the floor of the bedroom yesterday morning. He is supposed to have died in a fit.

THE CHAMPION SKATERS.

Our local rinkers will have an excellent oppor tunity of witnessing the perfection o£ skill, and of learning many new wrinkles on Saturday evening next, when Professor Taylor, Champion skater, and Lillie the "Queen of the Rink," will give an exhibition of their skill at the Lorne streetHnll. Professor Taylor is well-known as having been the first to introduce the roller skates into Aucklaud, and those who have derived benefit from this healthful exerci3e, as well as the many struggling rinkers who have occasionally scraped acquaintance in the hori zontal position with theinoor.have good cause to remember the fact. Mr Taylor achieved a very high reputation in America, in his series of per. formances entitled "Quick changes from white to black in ten seconds," etc., and his " nine great feats/ where he won the proud titl.i of the '-Cur.si33altataombulator,' a word of'terrible import, which no other performer has yet had the courage to adopt. His performances in "Vir ginia. New Brunswick, and in Europe, Australia and New Zealand have been invariably successful and highly spoken of by the Press critics."Jaques in the " Australasian " wrote : "Mr Taylor is clever on the skates, and he is so genuinely funny in his representation of what people do who are learn'n? to skate, that if you happen to become depressed by the gloominess and frowsines3 of the house, Mr Taylor will help you out of the gloom." The "Argus "says: "His performances arc animated and graceful. The way in which he darts about the stage, turning on the made and outside edge, must be seen to be believed, and the onlooker must, to a certain extent, know something of the difficulty of ballancing to thoroughly appreciate it." Mr Taylor has re cently made the tour of the South, and at Clirist church Lillio was presented with a very beauti ful cold medal, richly chased and set with a very valuable diamond. The medal was presented by Sir Cracroit Wilson, on behalf of the donors. The "Lyttelton Times," speaking of her per formances says: "This lady displays a',wonderfui amount of pluck and skill in her performance. Professor Taylor is also in possession of several gold medals. The medals are on view in the window of Upton and Co., stationers.

THOMPSON'S DIORAMA.

This evening, Mr Thompson wjjl exhibit his splendid Diorama of the American War in the Theatre Royal, and for the first time in ~ew Zealand. This series of paintings has been favourably reviewed by the American and Australian Press, and has delighted thousands of spectators in various landVin both nemi snheies. The scenes represent the most striking events of the American War, which are familiarly explained by Mr Thompson in a clepr and pleasing manner. Amone the more remarkable pictures are the great fieht between the Alabama and the Hattaras, and the rescue of the crew by the boats of the former vessel. The funeral procession of Stonewall Jackson also forms an impressive part of the entertain ment, at the clcse of which there will be a liberal distribution of gifts, such asabeauttful tea and coffee service, two sovereigns opera glass and a number of other useful and frnamental articles.which were»« "b. ted to day in the shop-window ot Mr Shortt, the citj hairdresser.
