Referring to the Kelly gang, the 4 Hamilton Spectator’ says;—“ It would appear that amongst other places it is still expected they will pay Penola a visit, as, we are informed, the cash, &c., belonging to the local Bank of South Australia is nightly conveyed to the National Bank for greater security, the latter being a substantial two-story building, and the former a wooden structure. A gentleman who was in Natimuck last week states that he had a long conversation there with the man Quinlan, who shot Morgan. Quinlan, if words go for anything, is extremely anxious to try his 4 ’prentice hand ’ on the Kellys ; he believes he could soon ‘ pot the whole lot/ If so, the £BOOO reward should be a sufficient inducement for him to have a cut in. It is really surprising what a number of men there are, living at a distance from the Strathbogie Ranges, who think they can do more than the two or three hundred police stationed in that locality.” Wellington generally has a Cologne reputation as far as odors are concerned, ■ and it is hard to say which locality bears the palm in this respect. It is rather too bad, however, that the drive round the rocks, specially recommended to invalids, should be poisoned. Just opposite where an old wreck lies, however, there is a perfect Golgotha of fish heads and other garbage in a state of putrefaction, which cause a fearful stench. The heap is being constantly added to, so that the nuisance is maintained unimpaired continuously* Surely some one might see to it, and keep at least one drive in the neighborhood of the city wholesome. The Wellington 4 Chronicle 7 urges that the surplus population of Great Britain should be relieved by r immigration to the colonies, and that Sir George Grey has now an excellent chance to augment his fame while benefiting his fellow men, by proposing to the Home Government a system of emigration from the United Kingdom to these colonies—part of the cost of which would be borne by the Imperial Government, and part by the Colonial Government. In the Dunedi.i Police Court on Saturday Julius Eastwood, a member of the Timaru Volunteer Company, was charged with having, on the 15th, conducted himself in Stuart street in a manner calculated to provoke a breach of the peace. He was further charged with having stolen L 5, the property of Kate Wftlker, the keeper of a house of ill.fame in Stuart street. The accused was arrested at Timaru on a warrant, and the evidence went to show that on the night in question he led about sixty volunteers to Kate Walker’s house, and proceeded to demolish it, alleging that he had L 5 there and was going to have it back. Deteetive Neil, seeing the turn things were taking, induced Miss Walker to pay Eastwood L 5 under protest, and this was the money the accused was now charged with stealing. He was remanded till Wednesday for the attendance of the captain of his company, who, it was said, was a solicitor, and was going to appear for him. Great emotion (says the ‘ Cape Argus ’) has been excited at Mauritius by the news that a new disease, alleged to be the Indian Beriberi, had sprung up in the district of Moka in an epidemic form. Several distinguished practitioners made visits to the infected places, and held a meeting to discuss the subject, but they have not yet agreed upon the name of the disease or upon its nature. It is stated that another new disease has broken out at Long Mountain, in the same island, which has been pronounced by the Government medical officer to be 44 acute dropsy.” Mrs Britten, the Free Thought and Spiritual lecturer, delivered her first address in Dunedin on Sunday night. The Theatre was crowded. She is a fluent speaker, but reveals nothing new. Both evening papers in Wellington comment upon the Schwartz case as a great miscarriage of justice. An occurrence, which might have been attended with most serious consequences, took place at the Arrow Bluff on Thursday last (reports the Observer). J. Flynn, the well-known waggoner for Mr P. Butel, was driving his team down to Cromwell. When he was just passing the small retaining wall at the Bluff, the near leader, a most valuable animal, suddenly staggered and fell over the bane, some 30 feet, on to a small terrace, then a further 20 feet, where be was afterwards shot, having broken his back. Fortunately the harness broke, or the whole team and waggon must have gone over, in which case the driver would probably have lost his life. Mr M'Lellan and his gang were working near, and rendered all the assistance in their power. We understand that the horse had been pulling with a sucli a will at the pinch as to literally choke himself, thus causing the accident. Holloway’s Pills. —Good Appetite— Excellent Digestion.—ln the of persons loss of appetite is the first indication of departing health, and should at once receive attention or actual disease will follow. For the cure of disordered digestion and liver complaint Holloway’s excellent Pills are probably unrivalled, certainly unsurpassed. The invalid will never experience disappointment or failure in the removal of his ailment by means of these purifying Pills. On reaching the stomach they immediately correct heartburn, flatulency, and undue acidity ; they secure the secretion of perfect bile, and passing into the intestinal canal they gently a""iiso it to natural activity without producing pain, irritation, or exhaustion. For these reasons Holloway’s Pills are peculiarly well adapted for a family aperient.
