MISANCELLEOUS EXTRACTS.
A mechanical curiosity, in the shape for steam buggy, is on exhibition in New \ ork. The inventor claims that it can be driven, with two persons in it, 150 miles .a day upon common roads. It is light and strong, and ean be manaued better than any horse, and can be driven faster than any person dare to ride. The owner says he will match it against any totting horse in the world. A correspondent of the “ Marlborough News” writes from the Pelorus : “The once bustling town of Havelock now shows more enduring signs of prosperity, and with the goldfields everything here looks hopeful. It may not, perhaps, be generally known that the timber trade of this port alone, during six months’, loaded no less than 50 vessels, with 1,478,850 feet of sawn timber. From 8 to 10 vessels arc frequently in the harbour at one time.
