HBH 1890 July 15 CHAPMAN Hastings Hastings Correspondent The numerous friends of Mrs CHAPMAN will regret to learn that she met with a serious accident about 5 o'clock last Saturday evening. It seems that she was driving a buggy along the Railway road near Sanders road when her horse shied at a little girl on horseback, and turning on to the railway crossing capsized the vehicle. Mrs CHAPMAN was thrown hear foremost on to the railway, and lay insensible across the rails. Fortunately there was no train passing at the time, although one passed about three minutes afterwards. A girl who saw the accident ran to Mrs SANDER;s house and gave the alarm, and Mrs CHAPMAN was taken there and kept an hour, when she was removed to her own residence. There she was attended by Dr FAULKNER, who found she was suffering from concussion of the brain. I am happy to state that she is now going on as well as could be expected after so severe a shock. The only other occupant of the buggy was a little child, who escaped uninjured.

HBH 1890 July 14 LIDDLE William Waipawa correspondent under Saturday's date: - One of Waipawa's oldest settlers (William Liddle) passed away yesterday at the district hospital. The break-up was sudden at the last, for he looked hale and hearty only a short time ago, and only lately had undertaken the duties of pound-keeper in addition to his ordinary work. The funeral is to take place tomorrow at 3 p.m. Deceased was an old volunteer, and once served in the Waipawa Cavalry Volunteer Corps under Captain TANNER. Had he lived a little longer he would probably have received a land grant under the Naval and Military Settlers and Volunteer's Land Act; but now, I suppose, his claims will die with him, as there is no provision for the heirs or assignees of claimants' bringing forward such claims

HBH 1890 July 14 NZ Marriage Statistics MARRIAGES. From the Government statistics for 1889 we gather a few particulars relating to marriages, which have been decreasing in number for the past few years. During last year 3632 couples were united in the bonds of wedlock, and it appears from the ages of the contracting parties that the favourite period for men to marry is between 25 and 30 years of age, and for the women between 20 and 25 years a peculiarity on the part of engaged couples to consult the fates in particular months. April, May, and June are far and away the most popular Months, the lowest number of weddings taking place in July, August and September. Of the total number of marriages 706 were performed by registrars, and those interested in the divorce question may be glad to learn that during last year seven divorce men and five divorced women were married. Only ten marriages between members of the Maori races are recorded, a great falling off as compared with other years. There were seven girls under 16 married, and four women between 65 and 70. One Female of that period married a husband between 21 and 25 years of age. Six men of upwards of 70 years of age were married. The youngest wife of those was between 30 and 35, and the eldest between 60 and 65. There were seven lads married between the ages of 18 and 19, and seventeen from 19 to 20. The greatest numbers of marriages were solemnized by Church of England ministers. (840). Then followed in order-Presbyterians of New Zealand (510) Presbyterians of Otago and Southland (462) Wesleyans (405) Roman Catholics (378) Primitive Methodists (93) Baptists (67) Congregationalists (48) Methodist Free Church (47).
