NEWS AND NOTES.

At Dundalk, in Ireland, a Redmond party captured the hall wherein Messrs Tim and Maurice Healey, M’s.P., were announced to speak. Owing to the terrific up-roar, Mr Tim Healey addressed his supporters in a smaller hall, but was afterwards mobbed. The windows of the hotel where he was staying were smashed, and several persons were injured when the police charged the crowd with batons. An ex-lieutenant, named Jesnitzer, was charged at Berlin last week with causing the death of a girl with whom he had eloped. The girl was an English milliner, Miss Byars, and it was proved that Jesnitzer had administered to her a drug, from the effects of which she died. Jesnitzer was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment, and Ella Hintzelberg, charged with complicity in the drugging, to three mouths’ imprisonment. That Nelson is becoming a great fruit-growing district is evinced on all hands (says the Nelson Mail). Our Motueka correspondent draws attention to the fact that one day last week no less than between 50,000 and 60,000 truit trees were landed in Motueka by one steamer, and this is but one shipment of many during the season. The area that these trees will cover will be about 500 acres. In many directions hitherto unoccupied land is being brought into bearing, and all the time the many young trees already in the ground are increasing their crops rapidly.

11l New Mexico there is a lady game warden —the only one in America, if not in the world. She is Mrs B. R. Buffham, and she was formerly a school teacher. After she had become a citizen of New Mexico her indignation was aroused by the wanton and cruel slaughter of wild birds carried on in the State. She remonstrated, but without effect, till she was appointed a deputy game warden, after which she backed her official admonitions by an appeal to her trusty rifle. As she is a dead shot, and a fearless hunter of big game, she is not trifled in these days of bird fiends.

The Daily Chronicle’s Milan correspondent reports that Rovvilino —who was brutally murdered, with his wife and children, at Pellaro, in Calabria, by, it is supposed, Black Hand agents—was implicated with other Italians in a big bank robbery in New York. He was arrested, and subsequently released in consideration of his revealing the ringleaders of the robbers. Fearing the vengeance of the Black Hand the Pellaro villagers refused to assist the police, and carabineers were obliged to coerce undertakers into making coffins for the murdered family. Troops escorted the biers to the cemetery.
