A JOURNALIST HORSEWHIPPED.
Auckland. Mr. Alderton, a journalkt formerly o the Wellington Tribune has been horsewhipped by Mr. M'Murdo, master of the Wangarei school, on the wharf. His assailant had boasted that he would do so, as he assumed that a .character in a serial I appearing in the Comet was a delineation
of his own character. Alderton took to his heels, as M'Murdo is a powerful man. A paragraph in the paper says that "he who fights and runs away lives to iight another day," so the end apparently has not come. A BOY KILLED. A Maori boy has been killed by the upsetting of a dray. A VETERAN. Mrs. Ramplin, a veteran lady, aged eighty eight, lias just died. She was all through the Peninsula war, and had a daughter born in the Pyrenees.
