Mr. Bryce talked out the Wanganui Harbor Loan BUI last night. It will interest chairmen of Eoad Boards to learn that the Legislative Council has struck out the clause in the Justices of the Peace bill, which would have created them ex:officio Justices of the Peace A Manawatu paper says :—": — " The Pink Terraces having disappeared, the Telegraph Department haß resolved to perpetuate tbeir memory in the new telegraph forms. The latter are also likely to dis appear by an eruption of Press." Some blue-light was being tested in a local store on Thuvsday, when a spark from that which was being tested fell upon the whole quantity, and exploded it. No harm resulted, fortunately. It had been intended to use the bine-light at the close of next Monday evening's proces&ion. The Wanganui Harbor Board have got into a difficulty by investing their sinking fund in certain securities, which they are not authorised by law to do (i.e., municipal securities), and the Colonial Treasurer has called upon them to change the investments. Persons conversant with the nature of General Government Insurance business state that they believe tbe amount to be divided among the policy holders is sure to be more than double and may be nearly treble the amount divided last time, which, if memory serves us aright, was some £75,000. The trial of Mr. Knox's patent wire strainer at the Hawera sale yards yesterday was decidedly successtul. All who saw it recognised that it was a handy, useful instrument ; and many of the more experienced, practical men were of opinion that it was the best and simplest straining machine they had ever Been. A nasty accident happened to Mr. A. Sutherland and his son. Mr. J. Sutherland, last evening. As they were driving home, about 5.20 p.m., the horse became restive and bolted, the cause being tbat the laßh of the whip in the bucket was brushing his hind quarters. The animal took charge of the vehicle, and travelled at a great pace from the comer of Regentstreet until opposite the school, where it swerved off the road and ran into the ditch. Mr. Sutherland, senior, was thrown out alongside the metal, and was stunned for a few minutes ; Mr. J. Sutherland had his back badly braised. Several passersby gave a hand and took the boree out of the buggy, which was slightly damaged. Mr. Sutherland, sen., was placed in it and wheeled to Dr. Alexander's, where his injuries were attended to. At the time he complained chiefly of a severe bruise on the hip, but did not appear to be seriously injured, though be was badly shaken by the severe fall. He is getting on as well bb can be expected to-day.
