More moa bones* have been discovered near Timaru. They are all ofrgigantic size,, and such as a Samson'would have wielded with more effect, that miserable jawbone of a donkey, though there are many asses in the world whose jawbones might be converted into bludgeons with the utmost benefit to humanity... n yf IM ~.r. ; -i ■ iTne .of?the ,27th- inst. says “ A timber waggon came' to grief on the Waiohine Bridge last night. One of the tires had come off before the toll-gate was passed, and the! jolting; on the bridge evidently proved too much for it, as one half of it gave wav, so that the: nave rested on the planks. The driver managed to get off the bridge, and haul to one side, so as to leave ample room for traffic.”
