Mr Newton, one of the candidates in ; the Grey Talley, has apparently' succeeded in making himself misunderstood on the education question—to ;such an extent that some replies which- he gave to tjie .

O.B.Argus of Monday says^ A melancholy 'event occurred oh Saturday^ whicH' may have been, an accident, but the facts as far as they are known, point to suicide. . A young girl, not more than sixteen years t .of age name Annie Eeagh, the- daughter of parents 'residing at Brunnerton, and who was in the employ of Mr Splaine, | of the British and American Hotel, left .the house,; .of her employer early on j Saturday morning for the ostensible purpose of seeing some friends, but as the event; proved, she proceeded to Sefton Bridge and there threw herself ' into the lagoon from the , breastwork, and was at once carried up the lagoon by the* strong tide then running. A young boy, who saw her throw herself into the water, at once gave the alarm, . and two persons at once started in ; a boat to the rescue, but by this time she had been carried beyond all hopes of her being saved, although they managed to get within some : thirty or forfcy yards when she sank. Strenuous efforts have been made to recover the body, but up.to the present time without success. There are various rumors as to the cause which led to the rash act, bat under present circumstances we refrain from, alluding to them.

Professor \V. Stanley Jeiona, in a treatise on scientific method, asserts that ,' " if the whole population of the world, i r .say one thousand millions of ' persons, were to deal cards day and night for one. hundred millions of years, they would not have exhausted pn,e, hundred thousandth part of the possible deals of! a^ackoi'cafds;/ 1 ••■' ; • rTI / ;
