A man man named Peter Hansen fell over the bank in Parliament street, a very precipitous thoroughfare. He was picked up unconscious and apparantly seriously injuried. Christchurch, May 8. A lad named Edward Schmidt, 15 yeara of age, employed at a farm at Flaxton, was kicked by a horse on Wednesday and died yesterday. New Plymouth, May 8. Two experienced Thames miners, engaged on behalf of a syndicate prospecting at Awakino, returned to-day with samples of black sand containing gold and mundic, also samples of quartz. Their report is most favorable. They commenced to put in a drive, which they believe will cut the reef. This is the third time gold has been brought from the locality. The ranges are a continuation of the Thames country, and the quartz found is similar to that found at the Thames. _ __^^^______
