Sad News. The residents here, to most of whom deceased was well known, were shocked to hear of the fatal accident which befell Mr Toko Paraha last week. Sympathy is extended to his family and relatives, who are well known in this district.

Personal. It is pleasing to record that Mr Raffles, of Moerewa, who has been an inmate of the Bay of Islands hospital for some time, is making satisfactory progress. The infant daughter of Mr and Mrs A. Corr, who has been very ill, is making good progress. Little Don McMillan is, I understand, quite happy in his surroundings at the Bay <Sf Islands hospital, and doing as well as possible after his recent accident, when he had the misfortune to break a bone in a leg. -
