Dunedin, April 8, 7.35 p, in.

Dewar and the shepherd Keith who were missing on the road between. Queenstown and Martin’s Bay were tound by search party. Dewar has arrived in Queenstown, but Keith had to be left where lie was found as he was not in a fit state to be moved. They were overtaken by bad weather from the outset and Keith, who knew the track, would not cross Pyke’a creek as if they were delayed ou the journey they could not obtain food. They then took to the.ranges They were about twenty miles from Martin’s Bay when found. For several days Keith had lost the use of his legs and also of sight and speech, Dewar kept his strength and was enabled by help of some dogs to deep himself and mate.' They bad only what they caught to eat for-sixteen days, , Dewar xs very little the worse tor the adventure, blit Keith will not be able to bo moved for a week or two, and then in easy stages to Martin’s Bay. Two of the searchers remain with him.

London, April 7.• A collective Note .from the Great Powers has been forwarded to Greece, notifying their signßtnre'ofthe protocol dealing with the Eonmelia difficulty and conveying the information that the Powers strongly urge Greece to abandon her warlike intentions

In cur last week’s issue we reported that Mr Dewar, Postmaster at Queenstown, together wi.th.a shepherd named Donald Keith, had left Queenstown for, Martin’s Biy on the sth Match, and hadnot up to the time of our going to press on the 2nd April reached 'heir destination, or, indeed, been heard of, and fears were entertained for their safety. It affords us now ’extreme satisfaction to state that the party who went out in search of them happily found them at the Fuller, a tributary of the Holyford river, about 20 miles from the head of Lake M 1 Sorrow, both being in a weak state from exposure. Mr.Dewar at once returned with the police constable, who was one of tho search party, and arrived safely at Queenftown on the 7th inst. Keith, however, was too weak to be removed, and had to remain where found until provision could he made for conveying him to the head of Lake Wakatip. Some of the search party ou finding the missing men at once pnshed on to Marlin’s Bay for provisions, whilst others returned to Queenstown for provisions and medicine for Keith, and some of the party left with him. From what we are able to glean as yet Dewar And Keith, it appears, instead of keeping the usual track 'on tho north bank of the Hc’yford Liver, and thence across Pyke’a Creek to Lake MKerrow, must crossed the Holyford to its south bank, and thus lost their way.

Mr Pacha requests ns to draw attention to the sale by auction on Wednesday next, the 14th inst, at Mc-ntere Station, of sheep, the which, he informs n», are to be sold without reserve; also to the sale of freehold property in Clyde on the following day, Thursday the 15tb inst. The entertainment to take place this evening in the Town Hall, Clyde, judging by the attractive programme}to be seen in another column, p-omiws to be a success. The efforts of the Committee to provide an a/enine’s amusement somewhat out of the ‘ordinary character, is dceervingof mote' than ordinary support, which we trust will be accorded them. Moreover the,kindly sympathy accorded by the numerous company, most .of whom, by-tho-hye, come from our neighbouring town (Cromwell), merit an equally large audience. The’ Clyde Public Library, into whose coffers the proceeds will flow, is a deserving institution, it being free and open to the public, and well worthy slipp'd t, * n ' r ». i At the Court of fteviewdri 'for Vincent County and BoroaC-s of Cromwell and Alexandra, held tiro Property Tax Act, at Cromwell, before Messrs D, Mao- ! kellar, D. A. Jolly, and B. Pi, Baird, of the twenty-four objections to the assessment, 1 only six were reduced, whilst one, at the request of the conscientious' owner, m increased. ' ' j

Dredging in the Upper Olatha promises to become a settled industry. There are already two dredges at work, and from what we can learn both' are getting good gold, whilst another has just been built and completed. This latter is on an extensive scale, and combines all the most approved appliances that is possile to bring to bear both m .the raiding of the dirt and the ex* traction of the-gold therefrom. Messrs Kincbid 'and McQueen, of. Dunedin,, w.ere the .‘contractors,' and judging by’appear* auces they have faithfully performed their ■work, i

Pully one hundred miners are now engaged on the Criffel diggings, amongst whom some are obtaining large quantities of the precious metal. Daring next season when thb water races now in course of construction are finished, we shall expect to hear of some heavy finds. Mr Grieve, dentist, announces in another column that he will visit Alexandra and Clyde shortly, making a short stay in each place. .Mr Grieve has been located at Lawrence for some time and from what we can learn from the local press, he there gave every satisfaction whilst pursuing bis profession. During last Wednesday forenoon quite a commotion was caused in our usually sloppy 5 town by the arrival of St. Leon’s circus and menagerie, the. latter of which; created a deal of eager curiosity among the yonnger inhabitants.. The procession was beaded by a band, who played a lively selection while passing through the street, after which came several vans containing ' the wild animals. In conjunction with our manyj contemporaries we must vote this show to b® the largest and most varied kind of amassment that has yet visited the goldfields. In the evening the performers were met by a fairly good audience, and were accorded many plaudits for their excellent and daring feats. The most deserving of notice was Master Gna St. Leon, a child of but four summers. This infant’s remarkably daring fdoublehorse act fairly brought the house down, we, ourselves, placing it at the head of the list of all other performances given daring the play. The riding of St. Leon brothers was very clever ; while the wire rope walking by the Japanese, the many clever tricks by Mrs Sharman, and the tumbling of all the acrobats are worthy of special mention. The horses are the best trained lot that has been placed before an audience in Clyde, the performing Emperor” being a real wonder. There were several clowns during the evening, their getnp and dialogue causing much amusement. The ring is excellently controlled by Mr Jones, who appears to have great command over the animals entrusted to his care. The menagerie eon■tains many curious and wild beasts, they .coming in for a fair share of the spectators attention. However, enough is as good as a feaa*, and it is not too long before one gets-tired of the disagreeable ame.l arising from the animals, acd makes his or her way to the inner tent, where the aots of the many acrobats are going on. The company appeared at Alexandra cn Thursday evening, and will be at Roxburgh to-nu-bt {Friday), Blacks on Monday, and St. Bathans on Tuesday. To the places that it is about to visit, we'ean recommend its genuineness, and promise a treat to all that may be so fortunate as to be able to attend. ■

Vincent Pyke, Esq., MtH.R, for the Dunstan District, informs ns that he wi 1 visit this district in the course of a few .days. We are reliably informed that the Go ▼eminent have decided to group the whole of the unsold sections in the town of Clyde into blocks of a few acres each, and otfer same for sale at the upset of L 3 per acre. The opportunity of securing cheap paddocks in the immediate neighbourhood of the town is a good one, and will, we hope, be taken abvantageof. In all probability the sale will take place in abont a months’ time.

A bargain was struck in Auckland on March 26 under peculiar circumstance. At the sitting of the Valuation Court at Newton, au old man named George Rea I objected to the valuation of twenty-two acres, adjoining the S nrrey Hills estate,. at L 3.600. He said he .would take hundreds less. One of the reviewers, Mr William Aitken, paid he would purchase the property at official valuation and give cash. The bargain was closed in Court there and then.

Mr Justice Richmond does not approve of solicitors appealing in small bankruptcy cises, as by their presence they act as a buffer between the bankrupt and his creditors and he thought it would be much better if they allowed the creditors and the debtor to meet face to face. The presence of a lawyer sometimes stopped questions that would otherwise be ashed. In granting L2 2s costa in a case rt Wellington wheie a solicitor appeared, he expressed his determination to keep down costs in small bankruptcies.
