The "Ballarat Star" understands that Mrs B. C. Aspinall has been appointed telegraphist to a station in Victoria at a salary of £2OO per annum. Mr John King, the only survivor of the Burke and Wills exploring expedition, is so seriously ill that he is not expected to recover.

He is now lying in Melbourne in a precarious state.
