Because the doctor was called into the house a rumour got abroad that Mr Stansell had been taken ill after his exertions on the sports ground. He had promised to take part in the concert in the hall, but, hearing the rumour, he jast looked in and explained matters, that his absence arose, not from his inability to carry out his undertaking, but owing to the sickness in his family. His explanation was loudly applauded.

We are extremely sorry to be informed that one of Mr Stamell'e sons, Peroy, a lad under 12 years of age, who has been laid up with rheumatism, broke a blood vessel last evening, and is in a very precarious state. On inquiry we learn that he is easier to day and there is some ground for hope that he may pull through. Much sympathy has been expressed for the Mayor and Mrs Stansell, as lately they have had much sickness in their family, indeed Mrs Stadsel has hardly recovered from an attack, and Miss Stansell is away from home (o get up her strength. Dr Rockßtrow has been unremitting in his attention on his young patient, having been up with him the whole of last night.

~ In reference to the recent execution of Stephen Bosher in Wellington, the Post says : — When one of the spectators admitted to the exeoution was ushered into the room that looked out on the soaffold, a little man with a white beard came forward and ostentatiously wrung his hand. A few minutes later the little man left, and ihe visitor learned with horror that he had shaken hands with the hangman 1 This fact, combined with the scene on the scaffold, completely upset the visitor, and he has not had a proper night's sleep since. He avers that since seeing the execution and the shaking- hands with the hangman everything has gone wrong with him. His luck has gone, his horse has broken its neck, and he is haunted in his sleep by the vision of theexeouted criminal. He is not the only witness of the ghastly scene whose sleep is troubled by the recollection.
