Woodville, This day,

Joseph Bell, superintendent of the Anglican Sunday-school, was charged this morning before Mr Hall, J.P., with attempted rape on a girl, and with indecently assaulting two others in tho vestry on Sunday, October 31st. The children are about ten years of age. Accused was remanded till Monday. Feilding, This day. John Derby, a settler at Bunnythorpe, was killed this morning while bush falling. Wellington, This day. Arrived —Timaru, ship, Capt. Fullarton, 106 days out from London. Twelve days ago, during a heavy gale, all hands were ordered to shorten sail. One of the crew refused, and the mate. Bowling, proceeded to fetch him from the forecastle, when a j sailor struck the mate on the left breast with a aheath-knife, inflicting a terrible wound. He was about to make a second blow when another sailor secured the would-be murderer. From intelligence brought ashore there seems scaroly any hope of the mate's recovery. Later. W. Williams is the seaman who stabbed the mate of the Timaru, and the wound was inflicted on the right side, immediately over the lungs. There is little doubt Williams would have killed Bowling had a second seaman not interfered. The injured man has so far recovered as to be able to walk. Accused was brought ashoro and lodged y in the lock-up. Thames, This day. An elderly man named Amos Fisher attempted to commit suicide last night by taking two ounces of carbolic acid.
