Messrs J. Sauxders, bricklayer (formerly of Auckland), and' A.' Boyer, who are en gaged erecting a r slaughter-house building at Parawai, had a most miraculous escape from serious injury yesterday afternoon. They were working underneath the side of a house which had just been temporarily placed in position, when a sudden gust of wind caused it to come away, With the result that Boyer and Saun d*v» woro buried. Wbon ©xfccictfed it was feared tnat both tsmi Iseon seriously injured, but upon examination it was found that Boyer had escaped with a few bruises, and was able to leave the institution, although Saunders was scarcely so for tunate, ac he had received a severe shaking, and his back is injured. He is confined to the Hospital, but should be about again in a week or two. He is well known in Auck land, where he resided until a few months ago. *

Mr Fernandez, general draper, Karanga hape Road, has removed his place of busi ness into more convenient premises, those known as Dr. Purchas's. Mr Fernandez will be glad to meet all his old customers, and solicits others to pay him a trial visit.

DEATH OF MAJOR GREEN.

Many- old colonists will regret to learn of the death of Major C. L. Green, Sheriff of Auckland, which took place at his residence, Mount Eden, yesterday afternoon. The cause of death was a severe bronchial affection, which it is supposed 'originated from a neglected cold. He has been un weli for many months past, but wa3 sufficiently strong to undertake the duties of his office at the execution of the murderers—Caffrey and Perm. Since then he has been much worse, and though attended by hia devoted wife and by Dr Cobbett, ho succumbed yesterday as already mentioned. The deceased gentlemanarrivedinthecolony upwards of 20 years ago, and first settled in the Napier district. He subsequently came to Auckland about 1870, where ho held the poet of Government Immigration officer. He was afterwards appointed Trea surer to the Auckland Board of Education, which he retired from in 1880 in consequence of a reduction in the establishment of the Board. Of lato years he has filled the responsible and honourable office of Sheriff in this district. Major Green commenced his career as an officer of the Commissariat Department, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1843, under Deputy-Com missary-General Hewitson, and a few years later removed to Capo Colony whero he received a commission it the Cape Mounted Rifles in 1847. Ho served there with dis tinction until 1858. A portion of the time ho was A.D.C. on General Somerset's staff, and was mentioned in the despatches on ten occasions during the Kaffir War of 1851-2. Ho was particularly complimented by General Sir H. G. Smith, for carrying despatches through the oucuiy'* country from Fort Hare to Kiu William's Town, when no other communica tion was attempted except with patrols of 2,000 men. Ho was severely wounded when commanding the rear guard in 1847, and was again wounded when on service with General Sir George Cathcart, as Deputy As sistant Quarter Master General, in 1852. Subsequently receiving a commission in the sth Fusiliers he served in India and China, and received tho Kaffir War medal and the China modul with clasps for Pekin and Taku Forts and brevet rank of Major for services in China. He afterwards served in Corfu and Gibraltar, and quitted the Imperial service in 1864. Major Green leaves three daughters—two of them married— and thrco sons. One of his sons, Mr Bertio Green, was formerly an officer of the Public Works Department, and now holds a lucrative and responsible railway position in America.

Tne Gold Find at Waltoa. Mr J. B. Smith, acting on tho advice

of Mr Gordon, the Government Inspector of Mines, purposes forwarding parcels of auriferous deposit found on his farm to America or Europo—perhaps to both—for treatment. It is belioved the deposit will bo found to extend over a very largo area of ground, including somo adjoining proper ties. The Hon. Mr Larnach, together with Mr Gordon, inspected tho find on Thurs day, and Mr Larnach requested Mr Smith to forward samples of the deposit to tho Mines Department, Wellington, for assay, etc. Mr Gordon expressed the opinion that it was decidedly volcanio, carrying the quartz in a crystalline state, but he refrained from expressing any opinion as to the value of the find or its payability for working, until he had obtained more information, and be sides so much will depend on the cost of treatment.

Other Mining Blatters.

Tidings are now being anxiously looked for from England with respect to Mr Price Williams and the Tui and Waiorongomai goldfields. Some slight misunderstanding has oc curred with respect to the leasing of the Waiorongomai tramway by Piako County Council, which was to have taken place yesterday by auction at Auckland, but it-2 believed the matter only needs some expla nation to the warden, who has already signified his consent, subject to conditions which the Council have agreed to. It is to be hoped that no obstacle be thrown in the way of English capital being introduced.

In the last is-sue of the local paper appears a report of an address and valuable testimonial presented to Rev.T.J.Mills.at a public meeting at Gisborne, on the occasion of his leaving there to take charge of the Church of England at Opotiki.

' W& Gentlemen*, You are aware that at the close ot they!! sion I left on a voyage among the LtoftTrf»3j|| expected to be away, at the furthest, flre^H Adverse winds extended the time to SwaMM I returned, completely ignorant ofaUtiMßi taken place in the rest of the world-^il|||§ after filling up this blank, to meet you |Sh| going to Wellington, but an accideal-aH ''hough sufficient to hinder my moving3B| freely—prevents my doing so. My political creed and my views onpaisf||i questions have often been before ydu'dmJraß ten years I have had the honour to be rotfSß resentative. I shall therefore content J9 with expressing my regret at not bekgjjffl meet you, and with repeating my firmcoimHj that there can be no good Govcrnme^iM economical Administration, and .no JIB Finance, so long as the country from endtiHj is compelled to look for all its local MaM Wellington. Gentlemen, I believe this to be at the mHj all our troubles, and that the highest eJH which any of your Statesmen could aim«H be the extrication of the country froasß wretched system which has paralyseditspiiw| and so terribly burdened its resources. I 1: . the Railways that have done the mischief, fi| the millions tliat have gone in niaintain_jM| system by expenditure chat ought to hawl|||| met from Currciu Revenue, or not be iMtffß During the recess you have seen Mi_fflH traversing the country in every directiosiiflß s eparated—never with an opportunity,ii adequate consultation. How can. tbej,;jjgH| such conditions, devise a policy worthy*l^ emergency in which the colony is 'ptibSfgH' Presently the Assembly -will meet, WI&9H you then see? The Ministry—one of oatj^S compounds of the most opposite political jo|j|j pies—busily devising nostrums to distract i^ attention ; while their whips, solely withH|j|| eye to a majority, will mould wbatisc_la!s||| You will see Members, intent on caKryiijjH the imperative mandate of their c°tts§jJ||| as busily devoting themselves to scouragaM his own district the largest share of jowlw money. What could be the fate ofasjii^H whose affairs were so regulated? \V~iQ9 suffer this to last too long, muse be thBMpJ our colony 1 ..,.. |||' To relieve the General Government of aSygj work is, to my mind, the sole and MM remedy. lam well aware that the tssk'niSH no light one. It will need hard and ussMjj work, united effort, and most thoughttfl'Sff and consideration. But if thoroughly duß^ should soon see our Parliament reforme4|j|| our establishments reduced to a more iSmS and suitable scale. Then we might bring to an end the seltojJH reckless policy of the past fifteen -yean, flga. hope to see New Zealand —recovering iaj^' elasticity, developing its home mark:', j&jj, settling its unoccupied lands—begin to WIBB jts burdensome debt, and be no longerde!S|| dent on money-lenders in London. •■"m Gentlemen, it is to me a satisfaction Wgm represent a constituency which, frdm its itß& tion, .protested against the policy whiiiß| plunged the country into its present tronble^B my predecessor, Mr Reader Wood, opp«W| as. strongly as myself. Your confidentsßß sustained me in this course when standiiSjH I often have stood—alone; and that coiiWH it will be itiy pride and duty to endeawflH retain. . ,'. • &S& •Yoursfaithfully, I , TCI LECTION OF TRUSTEES, MOW Wl EUEN ROAD DISTRICT. ,", ORDINARY VACANCY.
