The fatal acoident to a miner in Messrs. Kennedy s coal mino at Bronnerton is thus desonbed in the Grey River Argug — •• John Willis and his mate, coal miners,' went to work shortly after 7 o'clook, in that part of the mine known as the ''dip workings." They had not been at work more than ten or fifteen minutes when a slab of etone from the roof, weighing about scwt struck Willis on the head, whioh it smashed as if it were an egg-shell. His mate being a little distance away, was not hurt. The roof was considered perfectly safe, having recently been examined in the usual way. The manager said there was not the slightest •eason to apprehond any danger. Deceased neas a native of the north of England, a angle man, and 37 yeare of age.

We learn from excellent authority that the natives of the Tuhua Distriot (King Country) have determined to do nothing towards encouraging prospootors in tho reported goldfields until the retura of Tawhai* from Europe. It is hoped (says the Bay of Plenty Times) when that important day arrives it may be the beginning of an era marked by enlarged and enlightened views in tho native mind. How far tho Aborigines Protection Society may succeed in doing mischief by inoculating the king with ideas impossible to realize, remains to be seen. Distinguished Foreigners.— Senor A. do Li E.
