FATAL ACCIDENT IN TAIRUA BUSH.

It is with deep regret I have to record the melancholy death of Patrick Costello, of this place,~who died in Tairua Bush on last Sunday. The particulars of the sad affair 1 learned from Mr Richard Sherry, in whose employment the young man was at the time the accident occurred. On last Satur day the 23rd, the deceased (by-the-bye, this was his 19th birthday), with his brother John and a young man named Connor, were engaged jacking logs to the rolling road; they weie shifting two logs from where the tree had fallen. As the ground was steep it was decided to draw it down hill, lotr on end, and let it shoot on to the. road. The log on the high ground lay principally on its centre, and the down-hill end was leaning against the log, being shifted, which unfortunately appears to have escaped all notice. When the log was considered to be drawn sufficiently clear, one of the party called to deceased to give her a start. He did so ; and stood his jack against a standing tree. Immediately the apparatus was fixed, it slewed back on the unfortunate young man, and, catching him on the breast crushed him between itself and the standing tree. He was immediately removed to the Whan, where his mates tried every remedy in their power to re lieve his sufferings. After the first shock the poor fellow appears to have felt no pain, and while retaining his senses and convers ing with his mates to the last moment, passed off calmly to a better world about 6 p.m. on Sunday. It is a fearful shock to Ms bereaved parents, who are both close on their threescore years and ten; and, sadder to relate, he was the principal bread-winner. This is the fourth fatal accident in Tairua within a short time. I would wish to add that the poor iad was dearly beloved by all who knew him, and many of your readers in the bush will shed a tear to his memory. May he rest in peace.

BANQUET TO THE NATIVE MINISTER.

(From our Own Correspondent,)

NEW PLYMOUTH, this day. THB banquet to the Native Minister last night ■was a great success in every sense. Rewi, the JHod. Hoani Nahe, Epiha, and Te Wetere, the members for Taracaki. and many leading settlers, were present. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, the chairman. Mr Standish, Mayor, proposed the health of the Native Minister hi eulogistic terms. Mr Sheehan, in reply, spoke of the good services rendered by Bewi, who had, before the banquet, expressed his willingness to go to London, and bow allegiance to the Queen. He intended to ac company Bewi on a flying survey of the railway, which he believed would be completed before the New Plymouth harbour. The opening of the Waimate Plains would shortly take place. Rewi's health was then proposed, and in the course of a very friendly speech, he said: " The two lvces are now united for ever." Several other speeches of an equally satisfactory char acter were made by natives, and in the evening the Hon. J. Sheehan, Rewi, and nearly every one in Now Plyruoutb, went to see the panto mime Of the Star Company. The Oddfellows' Hall was crowded.

ST. THOMAS'S BAZAAR.

This bazaar was much better attended last evening, and considerable bustle and interest were manifested by friends and visitors. The bazaar is not so showy as was tbat of St. Mark s, and for obvious reasons; still, it is highly credit able to those who have exerted their meana in its favour. In addition to the industrial attrac tions, there was a promenade conceit, and several ballads were sung with much effect, especially the humorous song of " Kathleen Aroon," by an amateur vocalist of pro mise. The gipsy fortune - teller in the mysterious tent caused much amusement by her revelations of the future of several unsuspecting "visitors. One young lady nearly ftdnted on "being told that her husband, from a strange land, would be a darkie with an oblique vision. Tlie Post-office, under the superintendence of Miss Fisher, was conducted in a business-like manner. The goods presented to the public graze were mostly of a servicable character, and many were purchased at reasonable prices. We noticed an exceedingly pretty model of Waltham Abbey, ■with monksjon the terraces reading manuscripts; this model is an excellent imitation of the Abbey, only a part of which exists as the village church. The "deserted bride," after Byron's ideal, was an object of interest. We notice that a number of extra novelties, including a band, vocalists, Art Union, etc, will be intro duced this evening in the Albert Hall.

Extraordinary , Cure of an Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 years resident, of .. Long-standing Rheumatism. Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had .suffered severely and most acutely ' from Rheumatism, for many years, brought on, I believe; from exposure to all weatherß in the exerciße of my calling. F-or years I could not sleep at night, and wa3 unable to lie except in one position. Day and night I was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence my general health was also materially iniured I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism and its attendant evils, in every shape and form and my life was almost a burden to me. Itr ie every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any relief whatever. The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice was very cod siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in bottle of your Blood Restorer. I confess that I was not hopeful at all when I pur ohased your medicine, I had tried so many specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my indention. I adhered strictly to the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my former self again—restored to health and vigour, and able to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worse case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a leng time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise. I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it is quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir, yours rratefully, .„ . ■■ _, I }-■ , ' • Henry Maidekt, To H. E-Hitehens, Esq., ;. ' ... .. Auckland. i NCORE ! iENCORE!
