Waipawa. — A correspondent writes :— - A large bonfire was got up here, for the amusement of the little ones (as well as the older), in commemoration of the exit of the Stafford Ministry. Effigies were placed in the centre of the pile, and everything arranged for lighting up at a certain hour, when, strange to say, some unforeseen angels stole away the effigies, and at the time appointed, they were non est. No doubt, they considered burning a too ignominious death, and consigned them, it is to be hoped, to a better. Great as the disappointment was to the public — some fifty people being present — the bonfire went on, attended with fireworks, illuminations, &c. Inquest — Found drowned on the following morning, in shallow water, the effigy of an aristocrat, long faced, wearing a tall, white hat, cigar in mouth, Little doubt is now left but that the remainder shared th,e same fate.— Ambk.
