In consequence of the great increase in the number of stray dogs the police are capturing dogs in the streets of London and the suburbs at the rate of about 200 per day. Of these about 30 per cent, are claimed and recovered by their owners, and the remainder excepting a few of the most valuable, are destroyed. A pyramid, 20 feet square at the base, and towering nearly 70 feet in height will represent, at the Paris Exhibition, the 7,000,000 cubic inches of gold that has been prodaed in California. The Otago Daily Times states that 15001 b weight of dynamite has been used in connection with the recent blasting operation in the Bluff Harbour, at a cost of between £300 and £400. The Queenstown correspondent of the Otago Daily Times thus irreverently alludes to the return of the member for Wakatip— " Our Parliamentary { carpet-bagger,' Mr Manders, has returned home to roost." Last Sunday, says the Waitangi Tribune of the 29th ult., Waimate was the scene of a novelty in these parts— that of a " campmeeting," held by the members of the Primitive Methodist Association. The Brethren met at the Temperance Hall to the number of about 100, and marched through the town to their section at the back of the Library, where Mrs Goldsmith and Messrs Smith and Dumper addressed the assemblage. In the afternoon the brethren again met at the Hall, and marched to their section, when they were addressed by Messrs Eow, Hunt, R. Amier (Kakanui), and Puddicombe. Hymns were also sung during the services, some of which were Moody and Sankey's. In the evening a "public love feast "—the first of the kind ever witnessed in the district— was held in the hall, fully 200 persons being present. Uncontrovertable, incontestible, indisputeable, ungainsayable' incomparative, superlatively supreme, sbaud the unparelled remedies, "Ghollah's Great Indian Cures." No such extraordinary cures have ever baen effected as by these marvellous Indian Medicines. Ask at the Chemists' for copies of the numerous testimonials given by respectable old Colonists. — Testimonial.— Dunedin 31st August, 1876. SiR,-Haviug taken your Ghollah's Rheumatic Mixtures for some considerable time; and having been completely cured by it 3 use of the very severe Rheumatic Gout from which I had suffered most severely for the last ten years. I can bear testimony to its extraordinary curative powers. I think it right to state, for the benefit of others suft'ersng the tortures that I endured for the period above stated, .that I attribute my restoration to health and freedom from pain, entirely to the use of your invaluable medicine. I can strongly recommend it to those suffering from Rheumatism or Gout. (Signed) John Griffin, J.P.
