A shocking mining accident happened a few days ago at Adamsunvn, Anlonios Flat. A miner named Andrew Lammermann, 48 years of age, was working alone in a sluicing claim there. On the 261h July a man named Thomas Wallace called ab Lanimermann's hut aud found nobody at home. He called the following day with the same result, and again on Sunday last, and, finding tlie hut still unoccupied and no sign of the owuer having been there in the interval, he went to thu claim, and noticed that a fall of earth had taken place from Ihe face, and looking about found Lammerman's 'body almocb wholly hurried, the head. alone being visible. He set to work and dug the body out which was quire cold, and came to Reefton and reported the matter, The body was subsequently brought into town, when an enquest was held before W H. Revell Esq, Coroner, and the facts elicited as above. The deceased had been working the locality for fourteen years.

The Honorable Mr Dick, who held' tbe portfolio of Education in the Atkinson Ministry, and who was defeated at Dunediu West the other day by Mr SLewarL has tendered his resignation to His Excellency. As one of that much-to-be-I pided class of public men who mean well, but somehow never do wull. Mr Dick's absence from the House will nob be greatly missed.
