FATAL FIRE-ARMS ACCIDENT NEAR DUNEDIN.

[BY IETiWinAFH.—PIIESS ARSOCIATIOX.]

DuxnniN", Sunday. A VERY sad and painful fatal accident occurred at Abbotsford, live or nix miles from Duncdin, yesterday. Four lads left town in the morning on a rabbit-shooting excursion. Amongst them was AVilliam Street, aged ]">, son of the Mayor-elect. In the afternoon, a large number of gentlemen, by invitation, visited the Saddle Hill Com pany's quartz mine, where new machinery was being started. This mine i.-< in the neighbourhood of Abbotsford, and amongst the gentlemen was Mr Street, who had arranged to meet his son at the mine. The lads all arrived at tho mine in due course, and whilst in one of the buildings one of them, named Hnwkes, accidentally dis charged hist gun, shooting young Street in the head and killing him almost instan taneously. Ml1 Street was informed of the occurrence, and a very painful scene ensued. The accident threw a <;loom over the festivities at, the mine, and has been the subject of much sympathising comment in the city.

[BY TEIECIIUBH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

Wkllincton, Sunday. Thb forty-eight jiours walking match bo tween Edwards and Scott was concluded at ton o'clock last night, Scott winning by two miles and five laps (400 yards). From the start on Thursday evening the match was a very even ono until Saturday morning, when Scott assumed a very decided lead, and from this stage the result was never in doubt. At noon yesterday Scott was lead ing Edwards by six miles, and although Edward* made several attempts to reduce the gap, those were not successful, and towards the end of the match Scott showed excellont staying powers, and, amid great cheering, won as above. Neither of the competitors appeared distressed at tho con clusion. The attendance throughout the match was very poor. The distances walked wero:—Scott, 191 miles i) laps; Edwards, IS9 miles 4 laps. Edwards pro ceeds to Auckland from hero, where it is understood ho intends challenging any two pedestrians there for a six days contest, he walking against the two.

THE THAMES HOTEL.

Mb James Stewart, of tho Thames Hotel, in order to kocp pace with tho spirit of im provement, lias completely remodelled his hotel. Tho old Thames Hotel was taken down to the stone basement in order that it might correspond in character with the ad joining new buildings in Customhouse street. The handsome private entrance from Queen-street for the use of boarders has no communication with the bar, but leads directly to tho staircase, and from thence to tho elegantly-furnished dining room, 31 x 16-6. Tho dining-room is capable of dining about SO persons with comfort. On the same iloor is a ladies' drawing-room, gents' smoking-room,and all tho conveniences of a homo. There are a kitchen, collar and storp-room, patent lifts, and gas stove. The latter was made by Mr Williamson, from a design by Mr Stewart. Tho kitchen is 20 x 20, and tho wine cellar 30 x 20. The large boiler in the kitchen is connected with pipes which con voy hot water all over the hotel. Tho bars from Custom-house and Queen-streets are entirely new ; the facing of the counter of the former is striking and artistic, and upon it Mr Henderson, of Wyndham-street, bestowed much labour. The numerous sitting and bed ■ rooms wore uniformly and handsomely furnished by Messrs Winks and Hall. The bed-rooms, 25 in number, are suitable for families and travellers, some with pleasant outlooks upon the water. Those are connected with baths, lavatories, aud every other convenience. In tho passage next to the staircase Is a spaco in which Mr Stewart intends to fix an hydraulic elevator. The hotel is complete in all its appliances and creditable to the workers. Tho architects were Messrs Mahoney and Sons.

LADY JERVOIS AND THE WELLINGTON GIRLS' FRIENDLY SOCIETY.

At the first half.yeorly sooial gathering of tha abovo" Society, whioh, by kind per mission of Mrs Atkinson, was held at her houso in Bowen-strcet, about 120 menjbers -wore present, and 22 associates, Tho room was beautifully decorated with flowers and ferns, and on tho walls in blue and silver wore the word " Wolcome," and the motto of the Society, "Bear yo one another's burdens."

The members arrived at 0.30 o'clock, and at 6.45 sat down to a plentiful tea provided for them, after which Miss A. Jervois vend the following letter from the President (Lady Jervois), who was unable through in disposition to bo present:— My Dkar Girls, —I feel I must send you a fe\w words of welcome to this the first social gathering of tho Girls' Friendly Society, and I am only sorry that I cannot bo present at it myself. I wanted to toll you how happy I am that the Girls' Friendly Society is started in Wellington, and how I hope and pray that it may prove the saute blessing here that it is in England, You have hoard how, in England, it has been joined by thousands of young women, and every day its advantages are more felt in drawing closer the bonds of sympathy between girls of every cjass. x

But some people haye sas, "T^eGirls' Friendly Society will not do for New Zea land," anc} they tell me I don't understand yau.ng women in the colonies, aud that they are much too independent to thinly pi joining a society of this kind,. I think I do understand yo^ng women in the cola* nios, a.nd th,at_ they aye not much unlike yo^ng women in other parts of tho world. I believe most of them will know for them selves how strong and wonderful is the power of sympathy—of united striving after good—and I think that when they realise what a power for good in the world a good and wise woman is, they will be only too glad of anything that can holp to, wards increasing her number. And if it be true that there is hx\q\\ « spirit of inde pendence out hove, well, that may be, if rightly, dh'eoted, a most valuable quality; for. true independence is what makes us desiro to reach the highest perfection in whatever path of life wo may be ealljed to follow. True independenca is, not to wish to do without qthe^'s, not tosoorn accepting good help, hut to welcome every aid by whlah wo may be enabled to rise to higher usefulness, and to try in our turn to. use ou>; influence in helping others to rise, The Girls' Friendly Society is a, means of bringing youn.tr women together for this mutual help aiul sympathy. All can join it, either as associates or members ; tho.?^ who have had advantages in education or training can impart these benefits to, others, while even tho poorest girl who joins can give her share of gopd by the influence and example of a holy life. No matter how. humble our position is, we have it \n our power to influence others. I read a story the other day of a little maid of all work, who, on being asked how she knew she was converted, said " because now she always swept under the mats!" That little ser

vant girl had grasped the true secret of all Christian service—to do everything as in tlio sight of Gotl and to please Him—and no doubt those around her, humble as .she. wns, were made better by the sight of her faithful service. 1 have several times heard our Society spoken of as one for friendless girls. Well, it k partly for friendless girls, but it is also for girls who have comfortable homes of their own, whether in cottage, shop, or larger house. Think how much good you may do, who have good mothers and peace ful homes, to help those who have to work hard and make their own .way in life. When God gives us blessings, He gives them not merely that we may enjoy them ourselves, but that we may try to use them so that they may do good to others. And to you Mho have no homes of your own, and who have to work for your living, 1 believe that the Girls' Friendly Society will prove as great a blessing ns it is already proving to thousands of young women in England ; a means of helping you by God's grace, to uso your talents faithfully, and to right the battle which all Christians must fight who have promised to be Christ's faithful soldier* and servants unto their lives' end. . After a cordial vote of thanks to the President for her lettor, the members en joyed walks and games in the garden while the tea was being removed, and on their return occupied themselves in examining the many objects of interest which had been lent for the evening by the kindness of friends; some beautiful photographs, prints, and illustrated books, some .stereo scopes, n magnifying g'a^s, and a wheel of life which afforded endless amusement. At intervals during the evening, songs, ducts, and readings were given by tliu Associates, and some glees were sung by Mrs Francis's members. At 0 o'clock the hymn of tho Society, "True friends help eaeli Other" was sung, and the Key. It, .1. Thorpe addressed a few words of kindly counsel to the members. He told them that tho success of the G.F.S. depended upon themselves ; that they were to think of ono another and of the Society, and that then the blessing, without their thinking of it, would come back upon them selves. He concluded by moving a vote of thanks to Mrs Atkinson to which all present heartily responded. It was now nearly 9.30 p.m., and after singing a second hymn, " Through the night of dpubtand sorrow," tho mombers dispersed witli their different Associates, after having spent a most enjoy able evening.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Land Nationalisation.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —" Robinson Crusoe " has favoured me with a notice for wbich I am truly thankful. I look upon the nationalisation of the land as being a question that con cerns mankind more than anything elsa on earth, and I am glad to have it discussed— glad to see even only the two words " land nationalisation" in any newspaper—as it lias a tendency to arrest attention and court inquiry. " R.C." denies that " every private owner of land is a robber;" asks permission to point it out, and what does ho do ? Goes on to show wherein he con ,aiders the land.owner is robbed. But he does not touch the question at issue. It is quite possible that a robber could be robbed. -My opinion is that the whole of the land belongs to the whole of the people, and if any one claims to be the exclusive owner of any part of this i public property, he claims that which is not his ; therefore my claim is that ho is a robber. To anyone who denies this pro i position I have only to cay that without ) land we could not live. Land bears the same relation to the people that the > mother's breast does to. the babo ; each i from those sources sucks existence. As ; the breast, is the natural right of the babe, . so is the land that of the people. To be i shut out from such right is to be denied the i privilege of living. I say " natural right" ; because sustenance cannot be drawn from anywhere else. If there be any flaw in the simile; it is against the babe, as a substitute may be found for tho breast, but none for the land. 1 am extremely pleased that you, sir, have no hesitation in saying that " Land nationalisation is sound in principle and theory;" that is all I at pre sent contend for: when such an opinion be i comes popular we can afford to go a step farther. The present title to land is not Christian charity, but force, and when the proper time comes I shall not be loth to use either to expel the usurper of my natural right. The sermon part of "B.C. V letter I dare not touch, in case I might go the way 1 of Foote, Ramsay, and Komp, but I will ; just take tho opportunity of quoting one passage from the Bible, which I have altered to suit the times by simply using a small letter in one of the words instead of a ; capital, thus ;," The earth is the lords' and tho fulness thereof."—Yours, etc., Nihilist,

(To the Editor,) Sir,—l see by your excellent paper of Saturday last that the City Council are now very properly waking up to the importance of abolishing the dangerous and pestilential system of earth closets without earth in a semi-tropical country. Nothing surprises new arrivals more than this monstrous nuisance, which would not be permitted anywhere in Europe. Only by long usage have Aucklanders become supine in the matter; on the same principle the publio mind might become reconciled to water* closets without the waters "A rose by. any other name would smell as sweet. At home wherever earth closets prevail the necessary use of dry earth is compulsory and provided for. It might be difficult in Auckland to obtain dry earth at all seasons of the year in this moist climate, but that difficulty might be overcome by the admix ture of a more convenient, complete, and rapid deodoriser, such as lime, the sulphate of which, willed gypsum,ia readily and cheaply. obtainable in any quantity from, White Island. The use of gyp,a\iiin in the boxes would wg^ pay for the cost, because th,e product (technically tgrmpd, poudrette) becomes a manure which farmers value hardly second to boned.^at, now so scarce and dear. No Qthw fertiliser is used in China, the moat ]ftop,ujous country in the world, Th,e future night-soil con tractor could., perhaps, with profit t>a himself, provide the lime without extra charge to the householder, being himself ■ reimbursed by the sftle of th.O poudrette, which would be eagerly sought after by co,«n< try settlers, Thus, we should help, ow ia.rn> ing friends to ,i cheap and spj^ndjci manure for their clay soils, and. help ourselves still more by the abolition ol the present • horrible qustom before the germs of some terrible epidemic accept the pressing and tempting invitation Auckland now holds out to them, Nature is not to bo trifled with too Jong, and if -we continue to disobey her law, we shall inevitably, sooner or later, pay the penalty of disobedience—You obedient servant,
