I The goods traffic between Duuedin and j Oainai-u and Timaru has increased to such au extent that it has been found impossible to conduct it satisfactorily by relying entirely upon ordinary trains. It has therefore been resolved to put on a goods train, by which goods left at the Dunedin Station at 5 p.m. will reach Oamaru at S a.m and Timaru at 10 am. on the following day. Such au arrangement will, of course, be satisfactory to everybody but the steamers. But while the railway may, by such arrangement, deprive the Waitaki of freight that it has been customary to send by her, the passenger traffic by water will be considerable so long as the charge by rail is threepence per miH

At the Resident Magistrate's Court this morning, Oliver Smith was fined ss. for tethering two cattle in Greta-street; Stephen Davie, for obstructing the street by a tether rope, was cautioned : and Norman Lane was lined, 10s. for neglecting to clean his private yard, and thereby causing a nuisance. Last night 30 trucks arrived from the north, which will make the number at the disposal of Oamaru one hundred or thereabout-;. No trouble should now be es'perienced in giving the vessels hi harbor quick despatch. The department is worthy of praise for their promptitude in responding in so practical a manner to the additional vie. ssiire that has arisen.
