Mr. C. E. Haitghtox, the Under-Secre-tary for Goldtields, is expected to arrive in Clyde to-day (Saturday). O'JB Dunedin correspondent accidentally omitted, the name of Mr. Alexander Craig, as one of 'thfu-deputation who waited on the Superintendent,'on"3Jl[ednesday iast, in refer* ence to the public works.—- . The ' Guardian' and ' company intend disposing of their newspapers and plant. The non-success of the concern is attributed to the large proprietary. It is rumored several intending purchase! s are already in the field. Mr. Bond, of the Empire Hotel, Cardrona» is supposed to have mi-t his death by jumping into the Kawarau River behind Goodger's Hotel, Cromwell, early on Monday morning last. He had been a patient in the Cromwell Hospital for a few days, and had left that institution without the consent of the'resident surgeon. The ' Dunstan Times' of yesterday state# that Mr. Mee, of Forest Farm, Manuherikia, was injured by a bite from his horse, Royal Duke, and that he "was conveyed to the Mount Ida-District Hospital, where amputation was successfully performed." Mr. Mee did sustain an injury, the horse having bitten him severely in two places in the left arm, causing considerable swelling and pain, but the injury was not so great as to necessitate amputation. Mr. Mee, we are glad to state, left Naseby a fortnight- ago, with hia arm sufficiently recovered as to be able to dispense with the use of a sling.
