A man named George Dryden was found hanging in an outhouse on his homestead at the Peninsula, Dunedin, on the 26th ult. He was seen proceeding in the direction of his house the previous evening. A boiling-down establishment is about to be erected in the Dunstan district. From a Marlborough paper of the 30th ult., we learn that news had been received on the previous day of a terrible coach accident at Nelson, by which one person was killed, several severely injured, one female being completely scalped. No further particulars are given. We learn from the speech of the Hon Mr Beeves at Leeston that the Canter, bury branch railways are to be constructed under an arrangement between the General and Provincial Governments. The former contributes £98,000 and the latter £42,000. The arrangement is not yet quite completed, but the surveys of the various branch lines have been ordered by Mr Beeves, in order that the work may be expedited as much as possible.
