At a meeting of journalists yesterday it was resolved to invite Air Archibald Forbes to a dinner to be given in his honor on January 13th. The delegates attending the meeting for the formation of a Ncav Zealand educational institute have inspected Professor Bickerton's model of the Solar system, and unanimously pronounced it as exceedingly well adapted for the use of schools. A resolution was carried asking the delegates to bring the model under the notice of the institute they represented. A fanner named Michael AValsh, residing near the Riccarton Hotel, about four miles from Christchurch, Avas found last evening to be suffering great agony, and apparently dying. A doctor Avas called in, but the man immediately expired. The symptoms indicate 2'oisoning by strychnine. He was about 50 years of age.
