The Kumara Times says : — " We have received a letter from Mr Johnson of the Port, Nelson, drawing attention to an invention of his for cleaning gold with the aid of a very little water, and which, he says, is suitable to the Kumara, but it does not appear from his communication that his machinery has ever been put to a practical test." A ballast train ran into a mob of horses which were trespassing on the railway at Rangiora, Canterbury, the other day, when one horse was killed and another nearly so. The owner was afterwards fined £5 and costs for allowing the animals to trespass on the line. -Kather rough on the owner. News has been sent by Te Aro, of the Murimotu country, that a magnißcent hot water spring (puia) has been discovered at Waitaiki.. in said country, and much nearer Wanganui than the raupo springs. The natives are much elated, as enhanced value will be given to that country from the discovery. In Greymouth the public subscriptions towards the expense of a visit from the All England Eleven already amount to £142.
