Bishop op Dunedin.— The “ Otago Daily Times” has been informed that the Bev. Mr Nevill will be consecrated to the See of Dunedin, in St. Paul’s Church, on the 30th of last month (Whit Tuesday), and that the Bishops of Christchurch, Nelson, and Wellington will take part in the ceremony. Admission will be by ticket only. A. Warning. —A Grey mouth contemporary slates that a case of nearly fatal poisoning, from the careless and reckless use of a useful medicine, occurred recently in that district. A female, who was suffering, it is said, from toothache, had been using chlorodyne, and in an agony of pain she swallowed the contents of a full bottle at a draught. She became insensible shortly afterwards, and those about her becoming alarmed at the symptoms, procured the attendance of a chemist and druggist, who administered the usual remedies in such and, after some trouble, succeeded in bringing the patient round again. The usual dose, as directed by the label on the bottle, is from 10 to 30 drops, and there were 240 drops in the draught taken by the woman.
