LATE LOCALS.
It is notified that no orders will be received by post after December 10th for the Defence Surplus stores. Evidence regarding the unusual vi:i.ousness of snakes this season was given a few days ago at an enquiry held at Bathurst (N.S.W.) touching the death of a five-year-old child named Hutchinson..' The father stated that after biting tbe child, the snake attached his second child, and then tuned on Itftnself. He killed it with a large stone, and then attended to the bitten child, who died later in Bathurst. Dr Busby stated that thp snake was of t*-.c tiger variety. The antidote for bln- it snake poison was of no service, in de ease of tiger snake venom, and evert if a person recovered the day he was 1 itten he might die a few days later owing to the Inflammation of the kidneys.
