Wo notice that M'Kcnzio and Co. ’3 current wheel dredge has been shifted lower down the river* opposite to Sandy Hook, about one mile and a half from Alexandra; wo cannot hear though with what success she is mooting, but as sho is kept regularly at work, ami wo do not hoar to tho contrary, wo 'conclude expenses ate being cleared.

riiglea in the Australasian says 1 —“ A considerable landowner and stook-breoder in Tasmania was lately at tho railway station when a train arrived from Hobart Town. Amongst tho passengers was a small but efficient company of theatrical and musical people. Ho was much struck with tho personal appearance of ono of tho fair artistes, but some time later most ungallantly remarked— ‘ Well, by George,' I saw a woman at Brakewcel station to day with enough raddle and stuff on her to brand forty sheep.’" The heavy thunderstorm that passed over the district on Tuesday evening last was of unprecedented violence at Butcher’s Gully again. The damage done is very great, washing away the Toad, Tendering it in some places all but impassable, and doing irreparable injury to some of tho mining claims and gardens which in this locality are very good, and from which a large quantity of fruit was expected. At Cromwell fhe storm, for a short time, was particularly severe, the rain falling in a perfect deluge. In the neighborhood of Blacks, also, we hear more rain fell thau has done for a long time.

On Sunday morning last idle Rev. Dr. Stuart, of Knox’s Church, Dunedin, conducted Divine Service in the School-house, Clyde, and in the evening at Alexandra. Regarding Church matters the Presbyterians at Alexandra have decided on building a Church there, the tenders for which will shortly be invited. Our Church of England friends at Clyde have had for a long time in hand the matter of building a new Church, but as yet have made but little progress—it will much he regretted if they allow the present summer to pass without making a start. Holloway’s Pills are admirably adapted for curing diseases incidental to females. At ■Various periods of life women are subject to complaints which require a peculiar medi•cine, and it is now a demonstrativejfact that there is none so suitable as Holloway's Pills, for all the debilitating disorders incidental to the sex, and every contingency perilous to the life and health of women—youthful or aged,, married or single—this great renovator and regulator of the secretive organs and the nervous system is an immediate cure. Their purifying qualities render them invaluable to females at all ages. They are searching and cleansing, yet invigorating ; a few doses will speedily remove every species of irregularity in the system and thereby establish health on a solid and firm basis. Mr Doans—long connected with tho Acclimatization Society of Otago—passed through Clyde on Monday last with a lot of young trout wherewith to stock the upper waters and streams running into the Clutha above Cromwell. Regarding tho trout that have been turned out in the streams in This locality, wo understand that in some places they are getting on remarkably well, notably in the Earnsclcngh and Manorhurn Rivers, in both of which streams fish arc frequently To be seen in numbers, and of a largo size. Of tho hares turned loose at the foot of the Dunstan Range, by Mr Jas. Hazlett, some months since, wo have not heard, but as there is plenty of cover in the neighborhood wc have no fear but that they are alive. Advice to Mothers ! —Are you broken in your rest by a sick child suffering with the pain Of catting teeth ? Go at once to a chemist aud get a bottle of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup.

On the eve of the departure of Mr Warden Beetham, from 'Queenstown, a Very handsome present Was made to him, consisting of a black marble time-piece with bronze ornamentation. Besides the ordinary clock face, it has dials which register months of the year, days of the week and month, and the phases of the itionn. On the same evening a small present was made to Mr J. W. M. Purdic, of the Bank of New Zealand, by a few of his friends. A written address, accompanied with a handsome set of gold studs and solitaire was also Mr Purdie by the members of tho 1.0. G.T. Queenstown lodge, as also, addresses and presents from tho members of The Sabbath school and Bible classes. Mr Angustus Morris, the executive commissioner of New South VVales at Philadelphia, in a communication addressed to tho Colonial Secretary, received by tho last Californian mail, remarks :—“I continue to receive a great many letters from persons wishing to emigrate to New South Wales, and both Mt Robinson anad myself have many personal applications made to us for information. As I have repeatedly stated, willing as largo numbers of people are to go from America to the Australian colonies, they cannot do so without help. There are a great many persons out <of employment now hero, and when the cold weather sets in tho number will bo greatly increased. 1 find that, low as wages are in tho mining districts, general employment does not extend over more than seven months in the year. The outside wages a coal-miner can earn at present are 365. per week; hut for five months he has to earn a | scanty living by taking any kind of work I which may offer.”
