Reeves, Esq., M.H.R., telegraphed as follows on Saturday to a gentleman in Reefton:- "I leant from the Justice Department that R.M., and Warden's work will be done by Major Keddell from Grey month, Mr Greenfield taking Westport, Charleston, and Lyell, and Warden's work at Takaka and Coliingvocd. This arrangement appears reasonable. 2 . News was received in town on Saturday morning that an accident had happened at, the Inkerman mine It appears that two men named respectively Maloney and Good were engaged sinking the shaft and had put in four holes. The charges were exploded and the dirt cleaned up from three of the holes, but the charge in the fourth had not caused thu desired effect and an attempt was being m;ide to deepen the hole when an explosion occurred, 'rather? severely, burn-; iug Good's left arm tind forcing, a lot of dust . i) to Maloney's eyes. It is supposed tlmt only a part of the charge went off, irHvniKii littlo gelatine in the hole, which u|mii iieni),: disturbed by the drill, j tap! ..ivd i T m half yearly meeting nf the Vnited i Alp/.ie claim on Thursday was an ex* i citi'.Si one.

Their endeavours, ult hough woti organised, were uusuccussful on this occiaion, as the following figures will shovv ;— Messrs Saxton, Fennel), FeJder«on, Matlnuson, and Butler (the sitting directors) received 17,485 votes against the eeftoii contingent of 14,465, th»s K<vii-g thu former a majority of 3020. When it is taken into cuotUferation that 31,n?0 shares were represented in a compai j of u2,000, it will be seen how hard both sides worked. The rumours circulated as to the manner in which the claim is inikiuitjU we must entirely duagree wicb,

Tim f'v>n •:'.!' ui^tcli on Saturday be- | tv--wAi tin* lov n and Country came off on ttie rnce-c-ouise, «nd although the ({round wua very wet 36 playors turned out and a hotly contested giuna resulted in a win for the Town by 11 points to 1. Oinrken captained the country, who played two men leas than the town, and whom ! McMahon, aB their skipper, h<uidled t> i perfection. During the game darken i wrenched his leg, which was v i>ii of bad • luck for his side, for although h« continued playing he with grent difficulty got along, and was never dangerous. Had he been in his usual form, it is quite probable that the Country's score would havo been considerably more than it was. A sjreat feature of the play was McMahou'a splendid goal kicking, placing no less than four goals out of five attempts, three being at very bad angles, with the ball wet and heuvy, Forihe Town tries were secured | by McMahon, fliinmel, and Pollock,' two jof which were convicted, ' and the other points came from two penalty goals, the result of off-side play on tho part of some of the country members. The try for the Country was secured by Fibbs, who played a good game, though out of practioa. The team which is to meet Weßt" port on the 25th inst. were to have been. choßen on Saturday 'evening, but owing to the absence of one of the members of the Selection Committee it was deferred. The match between tho State and Ciitho* lie Schools was won by the latter by 7 poiats to nil. About two years ago Signor Ravelli tht great tenor, was singing in Italian opera in Dublin. The opera on one parparticular Saturday was "Maritana." Ra/elli had sung "Lot me like a Soldier Fall " in Italian, ending on the high C. He rendered it magnificently, and in j repponso to an imperative encore .-.< m« foe ward to sing it again. Thu ciioie wsH d'^n, not in Italian, but in English. Il •«;■<• . iii.iqn.> t'xperi'tietit, and the' ettW'. w-i:- .<iiu".si eieutriciil. The cheer ihg and '•ntliuaiasm was tremendous, cuais aiid h»ndkerchiefs were waved, and the encore had to be repeated. Ravelli only knew one verse, however, in English • the first. Thia he had to sing over again. When he had finished, the opera proceeded in Italian. The Reefton correspondent of the War Cry writes as follows to that journal : Of course we have a gentle hint from Mr Devil that we are not going to have it all our own way. For instance, a " gentleman," and a sharebroker at that, would insist upon passing through our ring. To watch the expression of his face you would have thought that he had all the business -of the town to look after ; so interested did. he seem that he could not see the flag as it lay for the collection, but walked over it. This looked suspicions, as it is a known fact that the gentleman's business is very, slack at the present time, so we made enquiries, and found out that ;he wanted to get up a case of obstruction.** .However, , it didn't wash and we-got a gooct collection. . .
