"It is greatly to be feared," says the " West Coast Times," " that a dark dee! of bloodshsd ha« been committed inthe Waimea district. Aminer named Hugh dirmichael has been foY some time past wdrkirig by himself in a claim near his tent in German Gully. On the etll inst., ho was last seen alive by a irian 1 nanied FredericK Tify who had been his former mate. On the l7th inst., Carmichael's dead body was found in an advanced stage of decomposition, lying in a hole at the back of his tent, about three feet and a half deep, and sufficiently long to contain, the body, without doubling it «p. *A leather strap was twisted tightly about the neck of the deceased, and the clothes were partially dragged off .'the body, as if a scuffle had taken place. ; . .

The attendance was not, perhaps, quite u°p to the average of the preceding evenings ; bu€ this may be accounted for bythe : vej-y, unsettled state of the weather. The readings were., agreeably accompanied with music by Miss Evans, and also a song by Miss Ward, which-re-ceived the hearty applause of the meeting. They were given in very, good spirit. The next gathering will take place on the eveuing of Wednesday next, the 21st inst. ' A meeting of the committee of the Southland Horticultural and Agricultural Society took place on Monday night, at the offices, Dee-street ; Dr Grigor in the chair. The protests of competitors againßtthe awardof the first prize for fresh, butter having been carefully considered, it was resolved— "That inasmuch- as the butter exhibited, and awarded the first prize in the class of fresh butter, had a saltish flavor, the Committee hereby agree to withdraw the first prize altogether. The same to be open for competition at the exhibition in March next." Other 1 ' routine business having been transacted, the y pK»ceßdmgß>rmui»ted.

We, frankly acknowledge that to yeur inventive capabilities, "and persistent' working, we, in a great measure, may attribute many comforts derived.. The encouragement we received from the hopefulness you displayed ; the*means you suggested for procuring food and clothing, and the indomitable perseverance with which you worked to carry them out, merits our hearty acknowledgement, and lasting gratitude. -In presenting this humble testimonial, we feel that you will valne it even as highly as though it had been of a more substantial description. We have lived and suffered together, and unite in expressing our opinion that to you, in a .great measure, we owe the many comparative comforts we enjoyed and which, so materially lessened the hardships of our condition. It is, and ever will be, . our freyent desire ..that .in .all your future undertakings you may have uninterrupted prosperity, and that if at any- time, "in 1 the course of our perilous career we should' be again placed in a similar position to the one from we have been . rescued, that a kindred soul, and hearty worker j such as yourself may be found.

Nevertheless, in the absence of rewards for -discoveries, ifc is not likely that those who thus risk capital and labor .will apply for a prospecting .claim until compelled to do so by force of circumstances." - ' i " The following remarkable instance of brave endurance on the part of a Httte. boy is from the" i"Bendigo Advertiser /'—" On- Thursdr.y: morning a sad accident occurred to- 'a° -little boy named - Roderick Morrison;; only ten years of tige.' The *lad had been in the habit of playing about the hay and corn . stores., of Mr James Aiiken, ad-' joining, tha Australian 'Hotel, and on Thursday jnorriing, being In tHe lower part of the store, he was warned, in consequence of the corn-crushing machine worked by steam being in motion, to leave the premises, which he did, going out at' the back door. ' The ' : storeman having occasion shortly afterwards to go into the loft for the purpose of feeding the machine, the boy returned; and had evidently been amusing himself by leaning over some of the wheels in motion to catch in his hand tHe corn asit fell from the feeder above. Whilst so doing, the ; sleeve of his coat was caught :b#feheycog-whee], and in an instant the right, hand, being drawn between the wheele, was severed completely from the wrist in a terribly mutilated 'state. The storeman, noticing a jerk ih'the machinery, at onc-j descended, wheii'he found the lad standing, holding up the dreadfullooking stumpi but, without uttering a single cry, and- simply desiring to be accompanied home, whither he walked,- after a i*ag had been bound round his arm,, with his giving expression to any feelings of pain. When the mother beheld the sad spectacle she immediately burst info tears, whereupon the plucky little . fellow exclaimed • If you're going to cry, mother, I'm off;' and away he went/walking direct to the hospital, followed by the man who had first become cognizant ' f the accident. "Arriving at the hospital, "DrM'GiUivray, the resident surgeon; upon examination found the "bones above the wrist were >o fearfully crushed and broken that further ampu- : tation was rendered necessary, and under the influence of chloroform' the arm was amputated above the elbdw. "^When going to the hospital the poor boy, ' in the ' most nonchalant manner hailed thegatekceper^as if nothing had occurred, with f Good <lay, Charlie.'" -
