The.Government of Otago have offered a rewai'd.iof £50 for the discovery of the perpetrators of the late outrage on the Chinese, at Moonlight Gully. Another Result of Boiling'Down.—Mr Ludlam, the celebrated flockmaster at the Hutt, recently sent 320 sheep to Major Edwards' boiling-down establishment at Porirua.. The sheep were very fat, and took two days driving from the Hutt to Porirua. Their average weight was 140 lbs. ; one stag ram weighed the enormous amount of 188 lbs. The result of the boiling down, in this case, was a net price of 253 for every sheep.
