local sforests, but like many other natnja productions it may be found where geologist opihe to be extremely improbable. Durinj tha work of uncovering the coal seam a Shaespeare Bay the men* have come acres blocks of kauri gum several inches in thick ness, and as this substance is indicative of th existence of forests at some pre-histori period, but which have been transmuted ii Nature's alembic into coal, gum, and othe products, we may infer that further explora tions would reveal other valuables not uo\ anticipated. It wbuld need an eiperf-t determine if the finding of kauri gum i favorable to the existence of quantities o coal or otherwise; but as the age is sceptical it would take a good deal to convince practi cal workers that the theories of science an to be absolutely relied on. We taice the following from the Britisl MedMal Montiilj}i—"A certain doctor* struct with the large number of boys Under l 6 yean of age he observed smoking, was led to in quire ipto the effect the,habit had upon thi general health. He took for his purpose, 38 aged from 9 to is, atid carfefulljr examiuei them. In 27 he discovered injurious trace; of the halit. In 22 there were various dis orders of the circulation and digestion, pal pitation of the heart, and a more or less tasti for strong drink. In 12 there were frequen bleedings from the nose j and 12 had slight ulceratlon of th*e mucotis membrane of thi mouth," which disappeared on deasing the usi of tabacco for some days. The doctor treatei them all for weakness, but with little effec until the smoking was discontinued, wliei health dnd strength were soon restored." At the Marton R.M. Court last week Murray C Kevern, who had been extradite( from Melbourne, was brought up on a chargi Of forging the name of Thomas Bryce farmer, of Marton, to a cheque for £35 The following extract from the evidence wil show that the accused was- a • pretty coo hand, to say the least of it:— John Coyle, i constable statioued at Marton^ deposed tha he saw the accused in the detective office Melbourne} and t> had some . conversation ii the presence of Detective Potter* The ac cused came forward and shook hands, am said ""How are you Coyle, and how is M Goodall (the Inspector.)" He said " I sa\ you pair of beggars standing at the come the day I cleared put. Don't you remember I'was going into the Bank of Australasia t get some money, and I thought you wer both discussing running me in at the time. 1 Detective Pottjbr said, "I arrested Keven on a charge oi forgitig a cheque belonginj .to Mr Bryce, a farmer near Marton, and hi "has made a clean breast of it." 'On the wa; to the watchhouse be (Coyle) said— "lt's pity you left Marton," and prisoner replied- " I was advised by Russell to clear but,- or i I did not you would collar me." On th llth August, while they were on board th Arawata, in Port Phillip harbor, the accuse said-" If I plead guilty, will the case b settled in Marton ?" Witness said—" No/ and told him it would take a judge an twelve men to settle the case after it wa done with in Martoh. Accused th6n said th law was a curious thing, if a man pleade guilty and could not get hi 3 case settlec On the 13th August he asked if he would b put to work on the roads, if he was convicte in Wanganui. Witness said No, that as h was a good clerk he might get a staff billel He Baid perhaps all the staff billets would b taken up, and added -"If they put me o the roads I would make a bolt of it 5 but'i they gave me , a staff billet I would remai as long as they liked to keep me/ Accuse was committed for trial, bail being accepte —himself in £500, and two sureties in £25 each. An Auckland telegram of Saturday says | — What may happen to a man in this con: munity received exemplification last nigh S. Brown, of Victoria-street, a very quie and respectable ironmonger and ironworkei and deacon of the Wellesley-street Baptis Church, received instructions from th owners of the barque Glimpse to repair th galley, and as the vessel was ready to sai he was instructed to get the work don before morninir. He went on board, too tha measurement, and returned to his shop t make the necessary ironwork, and thei accompanied by two workmen, he proceede to tbe vessel at midnight and commence operations. The captain soon afterwards finding the three men with their, coats of sent for a policeman, who arrested Brow and his companions. They endeavoredj explain-, -bnfc- the-ohptala -"pSaiHvely refuse to listen, and ordered the constable to tak them into custody. The officer demurre< but finally yielded, and the three, men" wei handcuffed and marched ,up the wharf, an lodged in the police c cells, a charge fcein entered against them under the Vagranc Act. They remained there all night, ! an were brought up at the Police Court th morning, when they were, of course, |dii charged, no evidence being offered agains them. ■ . The steamer Hinemoa (says the Chnsi church Press) yesterday brought down sixtj ■ix more of Te Whiti's followers to Lytteltot to be accommodated there with their fellow in prison. Like the two previous shipment! the lot of yesterday were for the most pai young men. Here and there a grey hea might be noticed, and there were'one or tw thorough specimens' of the • tattooed specie among them. There were also -one or tw sons of chiefs, an ex-policeman or two, an so forth. One of these sciops of once famou rangatiraa could speak English very fluentlj as indeed he well might ; seeing that 3 he wa for aevexal years a pupil in various school at Wellington, educated thoroughly J a't r th expense of the Government. He 1 was as consequence exceedingly sharp andintelligerj on general. topics, but in reference' tjb'T Whiti was'as mad a3 his comrades' in -bond! Te Whiti, according 1 to him, was'thegreatea man the world ever saw, and no amoUnt ,c argument or reasoning could convince thi once rational youth that Te Whiti did no possess supernatural power. HHpe p passe ! amongst the other prisoners by' the-'najtne; o George Grey, add has "just left hia mother a , Opunake, where his father, an old chicf 'o considerable-inn* lience, died some years since In reply J to a question •as to how he coil sidered itwould profit him to be locked v; in prison for an indefinite period, all tha could be gleaned was that "Te Whiti woiili make it all right/ but what it was ihatwa to be righted, or how it would be accom plishcd, were apparently matters of profoum indifference to him. I!t is now evidently i case of faith in the prophet, pure and simple and froni enquiries niade on board, the othe prisoners take a similar view of the L situa tion. ;•'•{ ',' ,-"'.'
