VICTORIAN SCRAPS.
A woman has been committed for trial in Ballarat for using a defaced twopenny stamp. She took the trouble of cleaning it, and then asked an acquaintance to become a party to the fraud by posting the letter. A t Buangor, Victoria, a man named Peter Grady dropped dead while in the act of lighting his pipe. It is stated by the Oipps Land Times that the value of the gold taken from the pros peering claim at Turtoh’s Creek during a little over a week was LIO,OOO, giving tbe handsome dividend of over Li,200 per share.
A Ballarst (Victoria) correspondent writes that a child about five years old had sixpence given to hj m to run an errand on the City Oval on Saturday, and the young rascal got drunk with beer purchased with the sixpence. This is precocity with a vengeance. But how about the publican who served the drink to such an infant ?
