Under the amnesty voted by the Bulgarian Sobranje about two months ago, M. Drag n Zankoff, who took a leading part in the kidnapping of Prinoe Alexander in 1886, was retnrned to Sophia. Be met with a very hearty reception from a large body of hia political friends on his arrival at 8 ivni'za, in reply to whom he said that he would be in future what h« had been in the past ; that Bulgaria conld only make progress under the p oteotion of Russia, and that the duty of patriots was to labour to bring about a reconciliation. The Archbishop of York, it is stated, ha? completed his task of visiting all the 600 parishes in his diocese, the visitation having occupied three years. Many after parishes had not previously been vißlted by a Prelate within living memory. It !r stated in the Catholic Times that several clergymen of the Church of Eng'and will go to Borne at the same time as Cardinal Vaughan to study the question of the proposed return of the Church of Eng land to the Roman Catholic fold. The corn averages in England for the seven years to Christmas 1894, have been wheat, 3s 9d per imperial bushel ; barley, 8s 4d per imperial bushel ; oats, 2s 9}d per imperial bushel. Mr Foes, from Clareville, has been appointed to the O'aUi sohool. Whenever times are dull there are sag* gestions to send prospecting parlies to the ranges. It is dear that the prospects are not sufficient to tempi, private speculation and therefore ha-dly good enough for public efforts. Stories about past prospecting partios have not been satisfactory. A representative of some large paper manufacturers informs u« that his firmß alone supply 100 tons of newspaper per month to New Zealand. Mr David Peat has been elected chair, man of the Wanganui Harbour Board. The Wellington Education Board decline to undertake the in«peotion of the Catholic schools in their district. The Premier is going to visit Wanganui on the 14th inptant, to lay the foundation stone of the new honpital.

One of Dalaiel's correspondents in Colorado records a remarkable act of bravery on the part of an eighteen-year-old girl* a school teacher in the v llage of Owyhee. While Eva Bates, the girl in question* was teaching her class* an enormous mountain lion sprang into the room, j and, falling upon a little antelope, which had been brought there by the child whose j pet it was, killed it and at once began to j devour it; The Children were panicstricken, and flvd to a corner of the room: Wnile the (fie lion devoured the antelope, the teacher seised a loaded gun near at hand. Then she lay flat on the floor, and, creeping aloug quietly with the gun in front of her, pushed it until the muzzle reached against the head of the bast and ; a moment later, as he was about to spring, j she drew the trigger, and the beast fell back with its head blown to atoms. The organ which ventilates the political j opinions of Mr Hogg, M. H 8., says :— " Mr Beeves is not a labour leader. He is an experimentalist, and a theoretic one at that. He never was identified with labour in its practical form. With its necessities or its peculiarities he never was aoqu&inted. In his desire to afford relief to those who are oppressed he may have been sincere, but that sincerity has not resulted in measures which are of benefit to the masses." The Inspector of Factories in Wellington has issued a circular to hotelkeepers, pointing out that if they sell, or expose for sale, tobacco, cigarettes, or cigara, their premises will come within the designation " Shop," under the interpretation clause of the " Shop and Shop Assistant's Act," and they will have to close their licensed premises on the Saturday half-holidgy. Their abstension from selling cigars, cigarettes, or tobacco on that half-holiday will not suffice. They must altogether give up keeping such articles for sale, or selling them at any time. The two leading Gladstonian members for Edinburgh have renounced the Irish Home Rule idea, and the renunciation is spreading all over Scotland. It has extended itself to the southern countries, and to Inverness. j The Manawatu County Council invite tenders for delivering metal and also for some road Work.
