Correspondence between the member for the district and the departments on the subjects of charge for tank or wheel water and Christchurch road-men’s wages has been kindly placed at our disposal by Mr Scddon, and is published in another column. The Christchurch coach arrived this afternoon, at the usual hour, bringing heavy East Coast and Australian mails.

An alteration has been made by the Tramway Company in their charge for the carriage of goods. On and after Monday next, the frieght on goods will be 25s per 20001b5., and bulky goods as per agreement. Next Friday, the 10th, the morning tram will leave for Greymouth at 6 a.m., instead of 8 a.m. The North Otago Times reports that after the storm of a few days ago, the sand of the seashore between the Awamoa Creek and Kartigi has been found to be impregnated with gold, and a number of men are at work on the beach. We are told they are earning good wages. As a proof of this, two men have left good situations to work on the beach. The appliances required are of the simplest character. Elsie Hall, a juvenile pianist, just nine years old, gave a private recital at the Sydney German Club recently, and astonished those present by her finished performance. A Sydney paper says tho rush to Kimberley was got up by the stopekeepers, who wanted “biz;” the runholders, who had no market for their cattle ; and the rival steamship companies, who found trade dull and wanted an extra spurt. A recent London paper has the following :—“On Easter Monday, 1884, a young Italian lady, good family, fell from the pier at Southend, Essex, into the sea, and was in immediate danger of being drowned, when a young man named John David Hudson, who lives in the Deptford Lower road, and was on a visit to Southend with his mother and sisters, plunged into the water and rescued her. On May 2nd last the young lady died, and left Mr Hudson £2OOO, to which her brother has added £3OOO. Certainly Mr Hudson is in for a handsome reward, and the young lady showed that she did not hold her life so cheap as some do who are rescued from drowning.” H.Goulston and Co.’s great clearing sale is still going on, and greater bargains than ever are being given away. The public are advised to give them a call and judge for themselves. The success of H. Goulston and Co.’s sales in every part of Westland is a sufficient proof of the cheapness of the goods.— [Advt.]
