The following conundrum took the prize at the American Diorama at Christchurch last night: “ Why is ventriloquism, as represented by M. Chalet, like the New Zealand Parliament ? Because the speaker appears to maintain a dignified silence ■whilst the ‘ wooden heads ’ talk.” Thr two boys named Tozer, who were committed by Mr Beetham the other day, for larrikinisn, to the Burnham Industrial School, managed to effect their escape very soon after their admission to the institution. A hunt for the fugitives took place immediately their absence was known, and they were captured on Tuesday at Bakaia, from whence they were despatched on the 1 a.m. daily train back to the school. We have received from Mr Hutton an advance copy of an engraving of Melbourne which will be issued as a supplement to the “ Sketcher.” It is well executed and conveys an admirable as well as accurate idea of the extent and magnificence of the Paris of Australia. Mr Hutton will be able to issue copies to subscribers next month. Dr Wilkins leaves Timaru for Christchurch positively on Saturday. During his stay here he has been very successful in a number of extremely difficult cases, includ-, ing squint, partial and total blindness and diseases of the ear and throat. The result is that he has made a most favorable impression, but his duty to northern patients will not admit of his stay being prolonged. We are pleased, however, to be able to announce that he intends for the future to visit Timaru every four months with the view of placing his services at the disposal of sufferers in South Canterbury. Mr J. Fullarto i, manager of the Dunedin Co-operative store, has been appointed agent for the sale of Mr James Neil’s botanical preparations.
