By special train Daddy was conveyed to Invercargill hospital, where his injuries were attended to. Calderwood was brought up this morning, but as Duddywas unable to appear he was remanded for eight days. The spot selected for the murder is about as lonely a spot as could be found, and everything points to most deliberate premeditation on the part cf the would.be assassin.

[From ouk ows Cobbespondehts.] Hospital Ball. Lawbsitce, December 6.—Earner's panorama has been exhibited here during the last three nights in the Town Hall to crowded houses. For the Hospital ball to-night a large number of tickets have been sold. The weather is splendid, and people are expected from all parts to attend it. The gross proceeds are to be handed over to the hospital, everything required being contributed. War Canards. Wellington, December 7.—Military ardor here was excited to-day by rumors, first that the American Consul and then that the Governor had received a dispatch instructing them of the declaration of war with Bussia; but it Boon transpired that both were canards. It is expected that Stevenson and Stuart's suspension of business will only be temporary, and that they will be able to resume business at an early date. Town land has been sold in Masterten at the rate of 17,855 per acre. The * Post's' telegrams state that the surveyors have been stopped by the Natives, who seized their theodolites and other apparatus. The Wellington Bowing Club have procured from Greenland, of Melbourne, a four-oared batswing fcoat, a pair-oared wager boat, and have ordered from Hobarton a whaleboat, for competition at the Kelson Begatta. The reported strike of bootmakers is contradicted, old hands getting 2s per pair increase.
