With but one exception all the tolls within the Vincent County are removed ; the exception is the punt acress the Clutha, at Newcastle, but as tenders are to be shortly invited for a bridge contiguous to the punt, and another bridge across the Hawea some few miles further up, we shall not not have long to complain.

The Ball and Supper to commemorate the opening of Mr Martin Cavan's Shamrock Hotel, Ophir, took place on Friday evening last, when a large company assembled to share in the festivities of the occasion. The host (Mr Gavan) did his utmost to give satisfaction, and all who had the pleasure of being his guests were of opinion that a more social and pleasant evening could not have been spent anywhere. The party broke np in the “ wee ” hours of Saturday morning. The Clyde Brass Band attended, and played in their usual good stylo. On Tuesday evening last, the eve of his departure for a fresh scene of labour Mr King, Postmaster and Telegraphist, Alexandra, was entertained by a number of gentlemen. Mr King,'during the few months ho resided in Alexandra, won the good wishes and esteem for his general courtesy and strict attention to the business of his office, of the entire residents of the district (we believe with hut one exception), and sincere expressions of regret were made at his being removed. Mr Janies Stevens, a young gentleman who for many years resided with his parents at Cromwell, and who probated in the Cromwell Office, succeeds Mr King. On Wednesday the 29th ultimo a fire occurred at Munro’s Gully, completely destroying a four-roomed house, owned and occupied by Mr S. M'Comb. As to the origin of the fire, it ia unknown. It appears Mrs M'Comb was washing at the back of the kitchen when it broke out. Before going outside she laid some wood before the fire aad supposes it had caught fire, for in less than a quarter of an hour the whole building was in flames. Mrs M'Comb had just time to escape with her child, and save some wearing apparel. The building was insured in the National Company for LluO, and the furniture and effects for LluO.—Tuapoka Times.

The sudden change in the weather |from frost and snow to warm rain, it is feared, will have the effect of causing a flood in the Molyneux, and delaying for a time the working of the beach and bank c’aims. In the neighbourhood of Alexandra, where a number of this class of claims are, the hopes of the shareholders were for a dry winter, but present appearances indicate the reverse, which will ho a severe disappointment. Wo are informed tiiat two claims have lately been taken up at the junction of the Manuherikia with the Molyneux, and that good payable prospects have been obtained. The river will, however, require to fall considerably' lower than it is at present to allow of them being worked profitably.

Mr Pyke, M.H.R. for tho Dunstan District, announces that ho will address tho Electors, at Alexandra- on Wednesday week, the Ithh inst, on “ The Political Past, Present, and Future.” Irrespective of the great interest that must attach to the utterances of a Member of Parliament just on tho eve of the sitting of Parliament, we feel assured Mr Pyke’s haranaue will bo of a character not alone instructive but edifying, and should command a largo audience. A one-fourth share in tho prospector’s claim at Doctor’s Point changed hands during the week at L 505, Mr Nicholas Anderson being the seller, and the party who own other two-fourths tho purchaser. Though little is said of the mineral resources of the Alexandra division of tho district, yet when suen prices as above are given, it is evidence that that its golden resources are not worked out.

It appears by Auckland): telegrams that Mrs Major Croker has been brought up at the Police Court there on a charge of obtaining goods under false pretences. The evidence- showed that she had written a number of orders to tradesmen for goods received, which were drawn on Mr Thorne, solicitor, to be paid off “ first funds.” In cross-examination, Mr Thorne deposed that Mrs Croker had known since February she was entitled to LI 100. Ho expectedl this money to be realised under a'deed from certain interests from Mias Long to Mr Edward Croker in trust for Mrs Croker. He did not know that Miss Long, before leaving Auckland, repudiated the deed the morning after executing it, and had gone Home to oppose it. though he heard so very recently. Even if he had been told at the time he had not thought much about it in the face of a good deed, executed by a firm like Whitaker and Russell. He did not know that Messrs WMtaker and Russell thought Miss Long had good reasons for repudiating the deed He told Mrs Croker she might expect the money any time after the inward February mail. The sum in his hands at present was scarcely worth mentioning, and he had a lien on it for costs. The accused was committed for trial.
