[7 he follow!. >// appeared til our iisve of Satvrday lait: —] DunedJn. Friday, B.3Q*p.m. Mackellar took his seat as (Jroldfields Secre-t-ivy oa the Govei.i neut benches this ereniug. A ploughman iwrneri Jeiiy Kntehesnn has been drowned whiif* tryi g to cro s the Molyneux. The Government are to finish the business to-night. All Bills are,now being rushed through. ' The money grant to the volunteers lms been raised to £ls. , On the main Estimates 10-day £10,01)0 for the improvement of the Kakanui Harbor was icarried against the Government by eighteen: to twelve.

An attempt to burn down the fine new row of brick buildings in Shortland-street, Auckland, has been discovered. The culprit is unknown.

Tar, ' Wakatip Mail' understands t!iat illness will necessitate _ \tr Hallenstein's early return from Dunedin, and an absence from Council duties as a member for the .Lakes.

It is notified in the ' Gazette' that persons desirous of procuring English, postage; stamps to forvvarl to their fnenls.in tne Home country for letters in reply, can obtain the same at any,post office m the Colony.

We understand that Mr. Warden Carew. of .Lawrence, has..been allowed_t.welv3 months leave of absence, and that Mr. Warden Robinson will haTetcharie'of i'tlie a'uapeka-' ''district • until his return. Judging from this last move there is little probability of !Mr. Stratford's return to the Arrow, as we,,presume he will still administer the' Jaw at'Naseby for at least anotheryejir.TT-'iWakatip Mail.'... ; ~,-,-.,-, , ; • i Wb hear that a child, about .three, years an-1 a half old. had been missing from its Tinkers G-uliyj at'thebegintiing of the week'. .At the time' the lie ws'reached''us'the' poofcdittie thing liarl been away tjvodays aiid ; one night and though a systematic search had been made, nothing could be-heard of it. The parents, AL-aud Mrs Martin, were natural y in-a distressed state of mind at the loss of tiheir'child.—' Dunstan Times.'' I By aii advertisement in to-day's issue it will be seen that a bazaar is intended to be held, about the beginning of November next, Y for. the .purpose of raising funds to pay off the debt, on St. Patrick's Church," Naseby. j udging from. the.results>b£ previous attempts of the same kind in aid of other churches in this district, we have not the slightest doubt that this call will be both ijuiekly and liberally responded to. ' We notice'that uiany of the farmers about, the Tuapeka and Waitihuna districts are inTesting in sheep. Most of the farms on Murray's Plat are paninlly stocked with them already.' Sheep fanning may almost b« termed a new industry in the Tuapeka i.i-iut, farmers having hitherto devoted. their energies to the growth of oats.; but they art;-' now beginning to find that the-continual croping with cereals is impoverishing their land. —' Xuupeka Times.' The Leader Company, en the Carrick Range, washed up the second crushing from their claim on Saturday last, and the cake was brought into town on Monday. Portyeight tons were put through, and the result was 650z5., or a trifle over 27dwts. to the ton. This stone was taken from the fiftyfeet level, and the company are now starting a drive eighty feet lower, by which means the claim will be thoroughly tested. The first crushing, from the twenty feet level, yielded at the rate of Bdwts. only, and the larger yield on this occasion is highly saltsfactory, and promises well.— 'Cromwell Argus.' Subscription lists were started a short time ago for the purpose of raising a sum of money to build a Presbyterian Church in Cromwell, and we understand that the very satisfactory sum of £IOO has already been promised. The Committee have every reason to believe that the Presbyterian Synod of Otago will give £SOO towards the erection oi a Church, so that, with any sum likeJßJOOin hand, they would be in a position to hegiii building. Those, therefere, to whom lists have been entrusted would do well to use' endeavors to have them tilled up as soon as possible. . -A Church for the Presbyterian Way iu Cromwell has been a want long- felt, and a little energy in one or two quarters is all that is required to see the want supplied; —'Cromwell Argus.'
