The woman, Mrß Dalzell, who drowned her four-year-old son m the Eakaia river last Thuwday, still lies m the Hospital m an unoonacious state, and doubti are entertained as to hor recovery. The employees at the Ashburton Hotels, together with their friends, held a pionio yesterday at Lagmhor, where the party was hospitably received by Mr D. McLean. The ABhburton Band's services had been obtained, and the day's outing proved a most enjoyable one. Charles Hunter, the man who attempted suioide on the Alford Foreßt Road early yesterday morning, is progressing fairly well towards recovery. He is 56 yearß of age and haa a wife m Sydney. According to his own statement the man has been drinking lately. The fish m the Sea of Galilee have lately been classified, and prove to belong to the species peculiar to the African .lakeß, not to the Mediterranean kinds, as hitherto believed. It is, therefore, suggested that the Jordan Valley m long past ages must have been filled by a lake joining the Bed Sea, whioh was then a fresh water lake, and which m its turn may hare directly communioated with the great lake system of Central Africa. The " North Otago Timeß " remarks :— New Zealand wheat, according to a Kenter'B telegram, has risen m value on the London market from 1b to 1b 6d per quarter compared with last quotations. It ia now quoted at 33s to 35s per quarter, the highest quotation being 6d higher than Adelaide. It haa been held by competent judges that New Zealand wheat, if shipped Home m good condition, will oommand the top price on account of its good quality, and it is evident from the news received that the wheat now arriving m London from this colony is m good condition, Ottawa, Canada, was recently greatly ex* oited over the elopement of Mrs Middleton, wife of William, nephew of General Sir Fred Middldton, with Fenwiok W. Hamilton, an ex-clerk m the Bank of Montreal. Mrß Middleton was the daughter of F. A. Wise, (superintendent and engineer of the Bideau Canal, and has always moved m the highest Booiety oiroles. She had only been married eight months. Mrs Middleton is accused of been privy to a soheme by whioh Hamilton extorted 10,000 dollars for breach of proposed partnership m Borne questionable business enterprise. The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agenoy Company, Limi ed, have reoeived the following cable message from London, dated January 3rd, 1888 : — Wheat — Market steady. New Zealand average and long-berried wheats are worth respectively 33s 6d to 34s per 4961b5. Adelaide f .a.q. is worth off ooast o.i.f. 84s per 4801bs. The second of the series of Ashburton woo* ea'es was held at the Orange Hall this after* noon. There was a good attendance of buyers, and a large catalogue, 'about the same number of baleß as was entered at tho first Bale being offered. A detailed report will appear m to morrow's issue; HoiiLowAY's Ointment and Pills. — Travel* lerß and emigrants. — Thoso who croßß the Beas change the climate but they do not change the constitution. The altered con* ditions of life, the exigencies of travel and other causes render the traveller and emigrant peculiarly liable to diseases and aooidents far from efficient medical aid.
