Mr. Edward Lyndon, will sell, to-mor-row, bacon, hams, mutton, &c. * : The Weather. — There has been more wet weather since our last. Indeed so moist and changeable a summer is scarcely within tbe memory of the " oldest inhabitant." Sheepfarraers and agriculturists have been alike sufferers by this unusual rainfall, sheepshearing having been much delayed, and haymaking most injuriously, . interfered with. The weather has again taken up, but it does not look settled. Fatal Accident. — On Thursday ;last the child of James Watt, farm servant on Mr. Lyon's station, Kereru, was found drowned in a creek that runs by the house where his parents reside. The child, whose age was 20 months, had been missed but for a few minutes when search was made ; it was found in the water, about 20 yardsfrom the house, quite dead. Itis supposed it had ventured too far into'the stream and been carried away. .... ■ ■ Cwve. — On the evening of Wednesday last, Mr. Wood exhibited his magic lantern in the school room, Clive.,.
