LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.

From Aratapu, Northern,Wairoa, wo hear of a shocking and distressing occurrence, which took placo on tho promises of Mr Brown, blacksmith there. Mr Brown has a boy of ton years who has been for many years subject to fits, which of lato had bo coino so bad that it was found necessary to have a room built in which to confine him. On Tuesday tho family wero washing clothes, and had just sat down to dinner when they heard screaming, and rushing out they found the boy in a fit with his head in the fire under the washing boiler. He was drawn from his dreadful position, and it was found that his hair was burnt, his oars frizzled, one eye so severely in jured that the sight was completely gone, and the whole faco badly burned. Dr. Norton was telegraphed for, and did what ho could for tho poor child, but held out on hopes of his recovery. Tho boy's room was left unlocked, and hearing no ono about ho wont out and met with tho shocking accidont described.

Native Obstruction to Te Aroha Railway.

(BY TKLEdRAI'H.- OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Thames, this day. Tukukino and his followers, whoso op position to tho formation of tho Thames- Ohinemuri Road will bo woll remembered, aro now obstructing the survoy of tho Thames-To Aroha railway. The surveyors proposed to carry tho lino through Tukukino's kainga, and about twenty natives interfered and sent the women to pull up the pegs. Tukukina states that he has- not been paid for tho land taken for the county road, and ho must see Mr Ballance beforo tho railway works will be permitted to proceed. Tho surveyors havo ceased to advance, and will be engaged in back work until the difficulty is adjusted by the Native Department, in which little diffi culty is anticipated.

Presentation at mount Albert.

A large number of the residents of Mount Albort attached to St. Luke's Anglican Church mot at the Parsonage on the even ing of tho 22nd inst. for the purposo of entertaining tho Roy. John and Mrs Hasel den, and of presenting to tho late incum bent an address and purse of sovereigns in testimony of their esteem. After a sump tous tea, Mr Wm. Motion (the senior resi dent) was commissioned to make the presentation, nnd present the gift. The following address was read and presented: " To the Rev. J. Haselden, organising cler gyman : We, the undersigned, members of lhe Church of England, residing in the pa rochial district of St. Luke's and St. Jude's, ask you kindly to accept the accompanying purse of sovereigns as a slight token of our sincere regret at tho departure of yourself and Mrs. Haselden from the district. We might suggest that you use the amount to wards the purchaso of a buggy to aid you in your home mission work. We are, dear Mi" Haselden, affectionately yours " [Here follow the names.]

Mr Haselden, on receiving the testimonial, expressed his gratitude for the tokens of goodwill towards himself and Mrs Haselden for their generous recognition of his labour, and he hoped the parishioners would do all in their power to assist his worthy suc cessor (Rev. J. K. Davis) in the good work of the church and parish. Mr Holland offered a few remarks, and said they were sorry to lose Mr Haselden, who had been selectod by the Bishop.for tho office of organising clergyman to the Home Mission. Alter some remarks of an historical nature, he said the thanks of the parishioners were due to Mr W. C. Kensing ton (lay reader), who had rendered im portant service to their church. Mr Kensington having returned thanks, tho evening was passed in singing and enjoy able oxercises.

THE COLONIAL EXHIBITION.

(PROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.)

London, November 24. Notable items of nowa with roforence to tho Colonial and Indian Exhibition continue to reach mo daily. I sincerely hope the subjoct interests your readers, ns between now and this' time next year my Anglo- Colonial lottors are likely to bo pretty full of it. Gentlemen from your part of tho world anxious to "make hay whilst the sun shines," or, in plainer language, to turn an honeßt penny out of the Exhibition "boom," have already begun to arrive on the scene. Tho best known is probably Mr George Collins Levy, C.M.G., who means on the Ist of January next to open an Aus tralasian agency and news room in tho' Strand (noarly opposite Charing Crosß), where tourists can meot and enjoy all the advantages of a club, and of the Colonial Institute, free, gratis, for nothing. Mr Levy is sending out circulars to tho leading colonial journals, requesting them to oblige with files, and intimates that ho will bo glad (presumably for a consideration) to look after the exhibits of firms who are not sonding home special agents. I may as well take this opportunity of saying that I shall be glad to assist in any nnd_. every way—whether as regards ex hibits or in othoV matters—any gontlomen who brings (or sends) me a letter of intro duction from the proprietor or editor of this journal. Having seen all tho prosont series, and knowing not moroly tho principal officials, but their methods of working I fancy ought to bo ablo to render any reasonable assistance strangers aro likely to require. A number of methods of cooking New Zealand frozen mutton will bo shown daily at the Intercolonial and Indian Exhibition by tho National Sohool of Cookery, who aro at present busy experimenting with a view to investigating the subject thoroughly. They will, it is hoped, also issue an explan atory pamphlet on the subject. At the suggestion of the Prince of Wales, a portion of the colonial section at South Kensington will bo suitably fitted up as a reception, meeting, and conversazione room for Australasian visitors and Anglo colonist. In times past I was able to send you tho bookings by the New Zealand Shipping Company, and Shaw, SaviU's steamers. Latterly, however, both have declined to give names till tho date of sailing. The reason I learn is that passengers complained. It seems returning colonists are occasionally averse to having their advent heralded be fore hand. Why? I wonder. Fifty-nine applications have been re ceived by the Agent-General, for the classical professorship at the Otago Uni versity. They are being adjudicated upon in London.

If tho Agent-General should resign, in selecting a suitable person to succeed Sir F. D. Bell, it should emphatically be borne in mind thatthe Agents-General for the Australian colonies are certain to be much more important personages in tlie future than they have ever been in the past. Just at present the-office is in a transition state. Till recently, the Agents-General werelooked upon as mere business representatives, sent Home to attend to the despatch of emi grants, &c, but in no sense ambassadors or social notabilities. Since the Soudan cam paign and tho Imperial Federation agita-

tion thoro has, howwJT**s^^^ to alter this n . »"«» a <li~ Agents-Gen il la * fig"!"' °fli«ally recognised t l!,, IMS *■ and other _4ffb^ssftt?S more prominently fci'^S before.

Nelson, Moate & CO. threw up the award (although not compulsory) and chal lenged the opposing Com pany for another test: consequently a Special Committee was called, and tho teas taken out of the different cases by Mr. Twopenny to be p, wrapped in plain papers ,-< S5 (N.
