We regret to hear thai; Professor Swallow is lying very seriously ill, and grave fears for his life are entertained. The weather of the last week, has been peculiarly trying to a!i elderly people. At the time of going to press Mr, Swallow is slightly better. Mr J. Ivess, o:<-M.P., has announced his intention of contesting the YVaimarino seat at the forthcoming election. The Inangahua Times (Reefton) reports, on reliable authority, that a discovery at Snow river, near Waiuta, will open up a new line of reef two miles nearer the railway than Waiuta. Already the ground bristles with pegs.
