A Timaru “Post” reporter has heard a good .story of how a young lady of Southland narrowly missed a fortune, and its truth is vouched for by the informant. Recently an old man, who was believed to be worth nearly £30,000, asked the young lady to marry him the following day. He, promised tp give her all bis worldly goods as soon as they were married. She refused; and the old man died two days afterwards !
A pile of dead and dying lambs in a yard at the" Hawera station on Wednesday ' night caused some curiosity (writes the Hawera representative of I the Taranaki News). A consignment j of about half a dozen trucks, of poor- ! conditioned shorn lambs arrived durI ing the day from Fordell. After the I long journey in teeming rain the j Jambs were in a wretched condition, •.and when unloaded well over a hun\lred were dead or dying,'and many more were in such a bad condition that it appeared unlikely that they would recover.
