A Ossa Mot's Nairn—lt has bees discovered, reports a Wellington paper, that Watraispa Motth css boast of poeseeewg two penoaa of the same of WSham Smith—a patronymic which many persons wH probably fancy thay bare beam before, william Smith Ho 1 had hie same inserted os the electoral roll, Ms namesake sot troubling him* •ell nor being troubled about insuring the exercise of hie Os the polling day, Smith Ho I coly recorded hie rote in luster* ton, and, much to hie astonishment, found himself arretted soon afterward* on a charge of baring voted osoe 100 often. Inquiry pored that William Smith Ho S had been induced to look upon the registration claim aa hie own, asd that he had accordingly exercised the franchise. The charge against the rightful claimant of the role was, of coarse, dismissed. It is, however, oat by any means dear whether prooeedlna against other parties sheold not be taken.

i 5 Kxcixnro Kaxoasoo Htrsr.A Booth Australian paper gives the following account of a roaring fight with a kangaroo A party numbering six, met for a kangaroo boot on the Mount Sehanok Bun, and after several “kflle‘*eame across aa a oM man** kangaroo of enormous sixe, which, after giving the party a chase el about a mile, •tuck up against a tree and showed fight. Thedqge, six in number, *m one by one diaabled, several being much cut and taro. Slick* and whip* were then brought into requisition for about aa hoar, but with little result. Ur Locke, who was riding a pony, va&tQrsdmfmlhsr (doe* quarters, when th* hate “old man” charged him, caught the eeatol hie trousers, and tore the right leg of them completely off. Mr U'Eisnon, fearing for his companion’s safety, made a nuh wUh a •tick, bat had to retreat and seek shelter he* hind hi* horse. The kangaroo, now thoroughly enraged, made a bound to gat at hie new opponent, but mused, and caught the horse by the hindquarters. The animal, unused to inch treatment, immediately let fly, and •truck the kangaroo on the bead and cheat with his hoofs, partially (tunning it. She “ old man” wae at oaoe hamstrung, and then killed. A Nnw Wat to Scau Staxbowl—The following method of tearing sparrows from fruit-tree* ia mentioned by the Ararat Advertiser ae having been employed by a gardener, who had tried other meant without success. It is, however, not to be recommended on the score of humanity:— “ This aeaeon oar friend determined to try a new means, and having several cate ho placed them in oagee, hanging occ in the centre of each tree.

Some rime ago the pastor, the Bev J. Boothaw, suspended five member* for an alleged irregularity. B» wee threatened with an action if he did not apologise and readmit them. Bo apology haring been made, one of the suspended members attended the monthly meeting, but the pastor desired him to leave, being an “ intruder,” and ae the offending member refused to do *O. the rev gentleman dosed the meeting. At the monthly meeting ia November two of the auspendoa members (Mosers Turner and Own) made another attempt to aseert their right of attending. Their visit had toon anticipated, and the extraordinary step was retorted to of employing a policeman to guard the entrance to the chapel. A brother of one of the suspended member* warned the constable against interfering, as an action at tew was pending. Mr Turner demanded admission, but was pushed back. The noise brought out the jpastor, and some one fetched the Mayor, a Nonconformist of some influence in the city, in the hope that to would to able to act the part of the peacemaker. The Mayor expressed his sorrow at seeing a body of Christian* engaged in such an unseemly squabble, but ms efforts to pacify them tod no immediate effect. Mr Turner made a rush at the door, and one of the pastor’s friends seised him round the waist. The Mayor shouted “ Gentlemen, gentlemen! ** and implored them to desjk; but they continued th#” straggle for some time, Mr Turner’s coat being torn* Eventually, seeing that a large crowd had been attroeted, the suspended Istfemtolrr,‘'to' avoid further scandal, withdrew under protest.
