LOCAL AND GENERAL, The latest report from the officers' training camp at Tauherenikau is that good work continues to be dene. Owing to a severe attack of neuralgia, Lieut.Colonel Heard has been obliged to take a rest for a few day 6, and Major J. G. Hughes is in temporary charge of the camp. The Mayor (Ma-. T. M. Wilford, M.P.), nas written to Mr. Sutherland, secretary of the Tramway Employees' Union, to meet him on Wednesday morning to make arrangements for the conference between a committee of the union and the sub-committee set up by the City Council in reference to the men's demands. A little girl named Eveline Greathead, aged two ai.d a-half years — was seriously injured on her father's farm at Greytown on Saturday morning. She wandered into a paddock, in which harvesting work was going on, and became entangled in the reaper and binder — with the result that both her legs were severely cut. It was feared that one of the limbs would have to be amputated, but there is every hope that it can be saved. The injuries were promptly attended to at Grey town, and the child was then brought to Wellington Hospital by motor-car. The littJe sufferer's condition is reported to-day to bo favourable.
