A wealthy lady of their acquaintance, wiio .suffered from headaches, one duv received through the post a holt le hi nitrated bromide. Henry Cornish received the package from'the post, ami handed it, to the lady. .She used, some of,the contents ; and died. They were poisoned.

A third trial was secured. that now in progress, and this has brought about the sensational situation cabled to-day.— I Telegraph. In the course of his speech at Woiroa S r W. Russell stated that it was now 27 years since he had first addressed a Wniroa audience, and he felt ho must congratulate the people on the many evidences of progress made during his absence from the district for about 11 years. The people certainly labored under great disadvantages, and lie hoped, if elected their member, to bo able to mn liorato their condition somewhat, and in raying that he was using moderation and caution, as tie ln\d no desire to raise false hopes, or make promises he could not fuitil. The clectois of Wuiroa had now, and had in the past, for their member a gentleman born in tho place, wiio was also a Cabinet Minister in iSoddon Government. Yet ho had not been able to do for them all they wished, or all ho desired to accomplish ; and though it would, no doubt, bo much harder for him l the speaker) to carryout their desires, yet lie would do all he could to advance the interests of tho district. At one period in the political history of tho Hon. J. Carroll and himself tho former was on tho same side as the speaker, now he was opposed to him, and though the divergence came about insensibly yet they bad drifted apart. They were, however, on terms of personal friendship, and he could say he had a worthy colleague in tho Hon. J. Carroll (applause). And though Wuiroa was to lose him as a member they would not lose him as a friend, and whenever possible they might bo sure of his vote and influence Mr Fraser, too, also a former Wuiroa resident, was ready to help in advancing the interests of the district.
