A ku.su to the Tadmor may be said to have" fairly set in, although it certainly is not warranted by the discoveries hitherto made. ! Beyond all doubt gold has been found and in i payable quantities, but the extent of the lead is not yet ascertained, and it may prove that a few lucky individuals have hit upon remunerative claims while the whole surrounding country is worthless for digging purposes. i However, in ibat speculative spirit which is so characteristic of the digger, a crowd of them, to the number it is said of 300, are now on their way overland from the Ivyell, and in addition to these a good many have left or are about to leave the town for what we all earnestly hope is to prove a payable goldfield. The railway is already experiencing the benefit of jfcho discovery, a considerable number having gone put by train this morning, as well as a quantity of goods, aud the tent makers are having a busy time of it. Mr Percy has been appointed as the officer to issue miner's rights, and will start for the Tadmor to-morrow. I Hj.s Lordship Bishop Redwood was a I passenger by the Taraiia-Ici this morning, on I his way to' tiie West Coast, to begin his second episcopal visitation in that part of his diocese. As no steamer leayes here for that route before Monday, bis Lordship wjll officiate at St. Mary's on Sunday next.' Tub Easter .encampment usually proves a very great attraction to the people of Nelson and the surrounding districts wfyo ; [ on the review day, flock to the ground in large numbers. The camp this year will, we understand, be pitched at AHiugl ion, within a few hundred yards of the raJUv.ay, which will be largely patronized if the authorities will offer inducements to travel ,oa it by making Jpw charges There is some bosh talked atyout reduced fares on special occasions interfering with the J^istem of audit, but if red tapejshi of this kind is to be allowed to interfere with the success and popularity of the New Zealand railways iiio sooner they are shut up the better. Should a reasonable sum be charged to excuv.sionists 6u JEastor Monday thousands of them will travel by traii^ on that day, and I the railway will be the gainer iv purse and I popularity, but if the ordinary rates are t,o I be adhered to the grumblings will be numeri ous, the passeugors few, and the dissatisfaction deep. The }o&aj manager has no, authority to effect any alteration in the fares al ;'l we therefore refer to the matter thus early in l>ue ' 1O P C ' ie wili P lace in immediate communication with the general manager, and let bin? clearfy unaepsfand how public opinion stands on *. lie » üb J ect ' Fuji alb Martyrs to kidney . and wkmy complaints are very numerous. The J^ lca te organism of the gentler sex renders it far , more susceptible to hurtful influences than tho hardier male system. For the various ailments peculiar to women, as well as for the hysteria, pains in the back and loins, and nervous debility to which hey give rise, Udolpiio Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic SciiNAi'rs is a potent aud pleasant remedy. — Advt.
