At the last meeting of the Public Works Committee the menbers tendered the advice that someone who might be interesled should read up certain clauses in the bye-laws.

These bye laws _are for sale at the Council Chambers, during office hours at one shilling each. Every ratepayer should hasten to secure a copy. A gale wrecked a herring fleet west of Yezo.

Private Maurice Fitz Gerald, one of the members of the Seventh New Zealand Regiment who were wounded at Bothasberg, writes from Howick, Natal as follows “ I had a piece of lead cut out of my forehead, with cocaine. Three or four days later I managed to work a piece out of the top of my scalp, and two days ago (March 26th) I had cocaine again, and another piece taken off my collar-bone. You may have noticed the speckled effect on a man’s face after an explosion of powder. Well, I look something like that. But I’m getting rid of the pieces one by one, with the aid of needles and finger-nails. The doctor told me yesterday that he expected I should have to remove pieces as they showed up for the next twelve months. Furthermore, the bullet which went through my back and chest passed down between the lungs and shoulder blade, coming out through the muscles of my back, leaving my arm, shoulder and back weak. I hope to be home in two months, as I shall probably come with the regiment.”

North Williamstovvn, Melbourne, was the scene of the performance of an unusual rite recently, when the body of a Hindoo Mahommedan, who had died during the week, was cremated at the Old Sanatorium. Some 50 Hindoos were present at the ceremony. The body, which was brought from the station in a deal coffin, was placed on a pile of wood, saturated with kerosene. The breast was then exposed to the sun, to show, as the chief mourner explained, that a soul was going home, A quantity of butter several pounds in weight was placed on the body, and more wood piled on the heap. The whole was then set fire to, and quickly reduced to ashes. The mourners, who stayed at the fire till sundown, removed the bones and ashes of the deceased, which will be forwarded to India, and cast by relatives into the sacred waters of the Ganges. A constable viewed the ceremony of cremation for the police department.
