Eainaford ister in charge of the Nelson and West Coast District of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, arrived at Greymouth per Taraura this morning.

The Inangahna Times of September 2nd records the death of Mr Patrick Kelly. Mr Kelly was one of the pioneers of the Inangahua, being one of the original prospectors of the Golden Fleece lino, and amongst the fortunate shareholders in the company of that name. He was also amongst the earliest explorers of the Otago goldfields, having reached this colony from Victoria before the main rush to Gabriel’s Gully. On the first receipt of the news of gold discovery on the West Coast Mr Kelly at once made his. way down, and thereafter acted a leading part at nearly all the important rushes which followed.
