Two " extraordinarics " relating to the war were issued from the Mail office, one yesterday and one to-day, and so great was the demand for them that some hundreds of copies were distributed in a fow minutes, and there were several inquiries for more. As it is the intention of tho proprietors to publish extraordinaries, daily it occasion should arise, business men are invited to notify the advertising space, thoy require on snob special editions. Several complaints have reached us of non-delivery of papers, and it is supposed that in some instances tho papers ore pioked up by persons who have no right to tbem. If any each are caught they will be rigorously prosecuted. In regard to the bundles left at railway stations, it is the practice of some people who have no right to them to extract copies, read them, and occasionally return them to the bundle. This ib distinctly illegal, and proceediuga will be taken against, any one who may be caught or informed upon.

The Golden Bay "Argus " gives particulars of the severe acoident that occurred at the Colliugwood Goldfield Company's , Bawmill at Aorere on Monday last, by i whioh a yonng man named Henry Palmer nearly lost his life. While shifting a piece of timber from the vertioal to the circular saw, one end fell off the skid just as Palmer was passing uuder it, and struck him on the head with terrible force, pinning him to the ground and tearing away almost thd whole of the scalp from the skull. The young man wsb moved to the residence of his sister (Mrs M. White) ' at Silvet stream, where Mr F. G. Mace, the Company's manager, dressed the wound, ' pending the arrival of a surgeon. Dr Dawsow,' of Takaka, was telegraphed for and arrived the next day, when ho examined the sufferer, who had lost a large quantity of blood. He pronounced the acoident as beiDg not necessarily dangerous, but very serious, rest and quiet being the only treatment required beyond what had already been done by Mr Mace in dressing the wound.
