An Ashburton telc-iram states that Hugh Uri|iiliart, aged 2o >e~is, a single man. was killed by falling over a clilT while rabbit-poisoning at Mesopotamia on Wednesday afternaon.

About three years ago a man ] named Gillman was killed in the same manner in the same locality, and the country is known to be very rough and dangerous. I Speaking at a meeting of the Trades and Labour Council at Auckland, Mr A. Rosser said that he understood., that next session a strong effort would be made to dndu'eo the Government to | bring out domestic servants to New Z'ealand from the Mother Country. lie strongly advised the Council to pro-. test against this. Let the wealthy classes, if they wanted luxuries, pay for tliem. He did not sec why the country should. He moved that a strong protest should lje made against granting further assistance towards briHiring out domestic -servants to New Zealand. The motion was seconded and carried. Last evening the committee appointed to make arraugements for the concert in TomuKa in aid of the Barclay Memorial Scholarship, mot and reported progress. Promises of support hav e been received from •prominent Timaiu and Tciuuka- amateurs, and a li'rstolass programme of songs, recitations, dancing, musical selections, etc., is assured. Tickets will be out in a day or two. it is hopcAl that the concert will be liberally supported, inasmuch as the scholarship will |x-rpetuate tho memory of one who did splendid pioneer work in South Canterbury, and devoted much of his time to further the cause of education, and also be the means of placing free education within the reach of many children iu Liu- years to come.
