We understand that Messrs. Tyree anil Huff, who have Leen located m Palmerston for the past few weeks as photographers, contemplate leaving tho district m a few days. We should therefore advise t h >se who have not patronised them to do so ere it i» a too. late. ''%•: A report was current m Palmers|qn yesterday that a. se^ou^^nmig^atio)* (lad^qo---iui'*r t ea it?'

The examination of. William Monk onthe combined-' charges- of forgery a! n'd perjury,. bMQre.Mru.Wa*d,-R.M., at the Palmer* ston Court, occupied the time of. the Bench for the best' part of Thursday ; prinmfaci* caises were made out m both instances, and" tho accused was formally cqinmittetj. for trial. : We wquld draw especial attention to," tlie sale of goods at Mi\~ Snelson's aucjtioaroomg this aftei'floon, the articles" at which are of a class admirably adapted for house--keepers ay^o". those m need of hou'se.hqj.d,.. necessaries or decorations. It is not oftenan opportunity. . is . ' presented .of. from guc.h a varied assortment, and as'theVe is to be ho reserve, the goods can "be obtained af purchaser* own valuation. Cary's Grand Panorama of the Arotic Regions will be exhibited at the Foresters' HalJ to-niiht and Monday evening. We have riot- ourselVeJ had- an opportunity - of speaking personally, of ita merits, but on the word of tho^e who have-seenit m Rangitikci within 7 ' the' past •' few- days* - ! we'-can heartily recommend it. ,'Wo. ; understand thei mechanism, connected^ with the Transformation Scene is something far. bpyondihe ; ordinary r.mi of such, eqte,i\taminents. . Horse-racing, -sweeps,-- &o. &c, may:" be very profane amusement, bqt occasionally, it proves very profitable, a ?'ew wli'eh, no< doubt , Mr. Ealtuersoh, surveyor, and. "Mj;. Stajtq, solicitor,. will he^. inclined. to endorse. - Both those gentlemen joined together and purjch^3e,cl twelve tickets "p Tonka's Grey-., mouth Sweep for £1000, and were lucky enough £o draw'" two" horses m the Melihourrie. Cup— Wellington and First Lord. On Thursday Mr. Staite received a telegram from his ;brofehe,u in". Melbourne infoimiing him'that Wejlirigton had carried off- the prize, so that thei'ueky drawers divide between them the nice little amount of £900-~ the other £10GP''being'the ten per - cent, detained for the expenses of the Sweep. Beside this amount,; however, having drawn First Lord;"' although* he was not placed, they will bq further-entitled to a : ?um^ which will more than tfover their original outlay. We heartily wish both gentlemen joy with their very acceptable New Year's Gift. The, names of the two companions of, the Kellys hare been, ascertained to ba "Jte,|^ei> Hart and Joseph Byrne. Stephen Hart, is described as being 20 or 21 years of age, sft,^iq m height, having fresh corhpl"ekJQn, bro\yn hair, and hazel eyes. He was con-' victed at Wangaratta m July, .1877, on 13 charges of illegally using horses, for which he received the very inadequjite sentence qf twelve "rijoirt hs" -Ifn prison menlT With,-' Hard, labor. He got of lightly m consequence of never having been previously convicted. Joseph Byrne is described as being-21 or 22. years of age, about sft lOin m height; having fresh complexion, light brown hair, and blqe eyes. He was convicted at Beech•worth m M -iv, 18.76, for having meat unlaw"fui'y Jn' his possession,-- and got a 'sentence, six months imprisonment. -This was also his first conviction. Byrne's mother lives m a hut, m the ranges, not far from the Rats" Castle. " This was cmc of the huts searched by the police a few days t aj^e.r. $h^ police mqrdereds were committed. . Mrs. Florence Bravo's will according to Vanity Fair, has been proved by Mr. W. H. Campbell, the other executor, Mr Orr, having, declined to act. The will is dated 20 February, 1877, and the property is sworn under £60,0.00. Mrs Bravo bequeaths £100 to'each of the three sons.of Mrs. Cox, and £1000, free of legacy duty, to. Florence Gully, the daughter of William Court Qully Esq;. The residue of- the estate is left- to be divided ainong^tbe childy^rt .of- Mjiv W. Hi-Cauruhell _ .ThTPa'f Mall Qaietie (Sept. 18) says : — The Mormons continue to draw large supplies of converts from this country. No fewer than 600 converts to Mormonism sailed last Saturday from Liverpool, m the steamer Wyoming tor New} York. jThey were m charge pf a*Mormon agent, who, it is stated 'has been m England for two years engaged m prpsejytising. missions. They were alio accompanied by .Seventeen elders of the "church en route to Salt Lake City. This happy family was not altogether composed qf English men and women, b^fc was partly recruited from the Cont/ineiit, England supplies about 200, Scotland forty, and Wales fifty: To- the credit of Ireland, not a single convert came from that island, which- wjis proof, agaist the persuasions of the Mo^rmqn missionary. ..--...' Those ladies who exerted themselves on behalf of the Gift Auction have no reason to, complain of the result, of their labors, as we learn that the gross, takings amounted to £130, As we stated m our last issue, tka bazaar, was opened early on the last day of the yoar, the various stalls being presklftd over, by Mrs. Snelson, assisted by the" Misses ftoodisson ; Jvlrn. Richter and the Misses Davidson ; Mioses Robinson and Evans, from Foxton ;. .while Mrs. Akers. was m charge of the refreshment stall • Mrs. Holt had a Joh uny-all- sorts' st ore • JVLiS- . diimes Hayns and -Keeling m charge of the Christinas Tree ; and Mrs. Nieals, cashier. Afiey trie,- visitors had been properly rifled by means of the bazaar, Mr. Snelson took* his professional sand, upon a rostrum, and . commenced to . : sacrifice — not the goods, hut — the bidders. An ancient chapeau, said to belong, to an Italian nobleman named Signor MJanjilo, was knocked down — figuratively- — for three half-crowns ; while other, articles of note and nirtu, were sought after with spirited competition. At t wet re o'clock the sale was stopped, aiid the firing o} two,' rockets announced the death" of ' the' o,ld. and the birth of tho New Year, when visitors and vendors ail dJapeirsecL not. before, however, the proceedings had' wound up with a vote of thanks to the ladies with tjhe musical honors characteristic to Palmeiv of " Th'ey.aVe.jol^y- gPQd. fellows.'.' .As there, remains about £30 worth cf choice articles still, on hand,, it is determined to repeat the-.
