Hunting fOB Jonathan.—The police are not allowing the t;rats to grow under their feet m their efforts to citcb tbe errant Jonathan Roberts. The other day (the N.O. Times says) it was reported that Jonathan intended to cross a certain bridge not us far from Oamaru as Timbuctoo is, and preparations were made to Meet the contingency, several policemen being told off to watoh the bridge. In order to in ike sure of their mm they tied a rope aoro»3 the bridge about a foot from tbe ground, and watched from the sides. Some time afterward footsteps were heard approaching, and e>ery one was on the \ai vive. The rope was reached, and the traveller .want over it like a shot—on his nose. The force was on top of the prostrate individual in a twinkling, and af er nearly squeesmg the life out of him raised him to his feet, and discovered that they had caught Miok O'Rafferty, who had b?on replenishing himself at an adjacent distillery. Mick's nose was badly injured, and he threatens ta lay an information against the police for " tipping him up " so unceremoniously.. The police are very reticent about the aftur.— The Wellington correspondent of tlieObigo Daily Times telegraphed on Tuesday as folbws: —The whereabouts of Jonathan Roberts, the prisoner who escaped from Rip* Island, Lyttelton, is still puzzliag the police authorities. They imagine that he is still hidiDg in same of the oountrv districts of the viiddle Island, but a story hasreaciei me which, if true, upsets that theory. The story goes that about three we ks ago Robe n s, completely disguised, fc ek passagt in one of the Union Company's boats at Lytt«ltoo for Welling'on. A friend in tho meantime procured him •} ticket for Melbourne, and after Btaymj horn for a few days he sailed tor Victoria's capital in one of the steamers. His reauou for taking his departure from Wellington instead of direct from Lyttelton was *-o e ude the police. So complete was his disguise when he reaches] the Wellington wharf that an old associate of his failed to recognise him. He reached Melbourne, I am informed, in safety three weeks ago, but whether he left Melbourne for soma other part of the world roinaius a mystery, '.'he police are in no way to blame for Roberts' escaue, as his metamorphosis wai so complete that lus own mother would not havn .'e&tgnisod him, I give thin *:.ory r'.jr *hat •• •» worth, but my source of information is a pretty reliable one.

A Whistlin* Lad;. -Mr Shaw, the American Whistling Lady, is reaping a fine harvest in London. Her charges are 25 guineas for whistling three songs, and she is full of engagements. Many ladies are learning whistling, and sibilants are likely to be plentiful next season. Mrs Shaw is young and very handsome. Terrible Death.—-The story of a dreadful sequel to a Boandal is told by the New York correspondent of the Liverpool Daily Post. He states that Mr Nathaniel W. Hatch, a broker, of New York, is stated to have been unduly familiar with the wife of a Mr Schofield. At any rate, the woman'* husband, on returning home, foutid Mr Hatch there, and a scene took place. Tub broker, in order to escape the wrath of the irate husband, climbed through a back window and clung to the bough of a tree which shades the yard of the house. The bough was too weak for Mr Hatch's weight, and he fell to the ground, His brains were dashed cut, death occurring almost instantaneously. The scandal and its dreadful sequel are the common talk ef the city. An Awful Dmastbb. A beautifal lady in Pari a, belonging to the diplomatic circle, late'y met with a most peculiar accident at a ba'l, to the intense delight of her " bosom friends" of (be fair sex. The lady in question, wore a low-bodied dress of artistic design, 1 which attracted general admiration, but what most riveted the attention of the ball guests were her shoulders of dazzling white. Suddenly, her brooch, a splendid cimso, became unfiatened, dropped to the ground and broke to pieces. In her alarm, the fair owner quickly stooped to pick np the fragments. But this rapid movement caused something still more valuable to fall to the ground, viz., a portion of the charming white shoulders of the lady, a piece of a mass resembling porcelain, delicately touched up in blue and. pink. The gentlemen gazed in blank astonishment at the dt tinge i beauty,, while the ladies giggled in their pockethandkerchiefs, and the husband ran for.a shawl to conceal the misfortune. Tableau! A Hohsb Sucking Ems.—ln a stable in Cbristchurch there is a horse entertaining a most " cake and pudding " affection fer a ben. The hen has an equally strong and equally strange affection for the horse. Only: in ' the horse's manger will the hen lay, and the horse waits with more or less patience until the egg has beea shed. He then, with a most unnatural appstito for an rquine, fuittly 8 * allow* the egg, and does so with the greatest, gusto imaginable The hen will lay nowhere else but in this particular manger, and when "chuckle" it taking, to the horaa'i thinking, too long a time to deposit the eoreted mot sal, the horse opens his soft lips, lifts the hen to see if the e»g has been hid, and if it ie, quietly appropriates the delicate morsel. If it is not, he becomes quite restless until tha little delicaoy he hat been waiting for is lai), but he will have his egg, and bis fondn*si fo- the hen who thus supplies him is unbounded. Tha story appea-a incredible, but the horse'a ewner u perft-o ly willing to convince anyone to the contrary.—LjtteUon Times.

He <-e is a yery : good story, which is end to' be true.; Jules Beuaux, a French tickef-of-leave m \a, employed in the ofltae of the prison at Noumea, wis recently mined, and contemporary with his absence it was discovered that a sum of money, ths property of the Government, was also gone. Search was made for him, but he was not ob the island, and ths ships'in the harbor were watched without any clue to his whereabouts being discovered. One outward bound vessel was supposed to have the prisoner on board, and a warder was ordered to accompany her. He searched several times without success, and it was; net until he landed in Sydney that he learned for certain hii man had been a fellow paissnger. He found, too late, however, that when searching one night be came upon the prisoner in conversation with the firemen, one of whom placed it candle in his hand, and bade him escort :M. le gendarme over the boat. Aad bo they went, policemen and prisoner in com-, pany, and a most careful search was instituted by the prisoner for himstlf. The oflaoer gave up the chase at Sydney, and the escapee is now speeding over the waters to his native I And, once ag»in a free man. Oa|ital Punishment in Nkw\ York Statu.—Although electricity will suoersele the g*llow's in the Slate of New York as a means of executing the death penalty the manner in which tha fatal current is to be applied has not been determined upon. The correspondent of the Sydney Morning Herald states, that the change in the law will. make some other very salutary reforms, Hitherto a man under lenience of death has beep free of access, and he has enjoyed for several months the notoriety that attaches to anyone whose life is a little out of the dull, ordinary, commonplace, routine. After death, too, hia relatives or friends could claim his body as a matter of right, tod it was frequently accorded the honor of an imposing fuaetal. Johnny Ileal, who murdered a policeman, was followed by 20,000 persons, and a little villain numed M'Glorin, after a wake of tvrc days, the expenses of which were provided for by a ball given during his incarceration in gaol, was eacoitod to Oilyary Cemetery by more than 100 carriages. All this will be changed. After sentence the prisoner will be secluded from all but relatives, and the date of his execution will only be known to himself and the prison oßcials. Under no cireutnatunce will the presence of a stranger be permitted at the execution, and unless the relations pledge themmlvee te conduct the funeral with absolute privacy, the authorities will avail themselves of the right jiven te them by law of burying the body in quicklime. One greufc ; source of ths sensation*! reporter wiH,al least in this Slate, be ruthlessly swept away, |

The river was high, and the horse and dray were swept down the stream, with the result that the horse was dro lined. Mr Buckley had a narrow escape, as he had to swim to the bank, and this was a very difficult matter, as. the current was strong. Neither, the, horse nor the dray have yet been got out of the river. The Io4S is a very serious one to Mr Buckley, who can ill afford it. Only a short time ago his house at Orari- was burned,.to the ground..

The boxes were marked at 12s, and displayed to attract attention; but month titer month went by and pot a single individual would look at; a 12s box. of .tea.

Dkjeadiwl JtEsuws.—The results of the the present winter in the buck country are thus-pictured in the Ougo Dal? Times by Blr P. ». Young: -The deatruction of stock,-although it is impossible as yet to appreciate its full extent, must .have been exceptiona'ly heavy. In several positions which iieem well sheltered from the terrible wind, I have lobsarved sheep dying or dead, .and. on the bleak wastes in parts of tienmore and Omamm* [ fear "the- country must be almost depopulated of its wool-bearing inhabitants, while there is a rumor afloat that at BenOhau Station "confusion now hath made . its, misterpiepe,'! > the entire atock has been annihilated., In the frost which lolloped the second great tall of snow the thermometer at Benmore Station marked six degrees above Fahrenheit's greatest possible cold, while at the same time ail degrees below zero was marked, on. the centigrade »cale at the Hugged Ridges Stition. At this temperature gums 60ft high were killed,, while at the'" neighboring Aviemore Station the water pipes were burst and the very eggs frozen solid.

We bear now that the greater portion of tha timber ia for a large new skating rink which is going t« be built in Sydney, and which is to have the) ioor of matai and the walls lined with T. G. and B.

We must say there cou'd scircely be any better way of advertising our New ZeaUnd timber* and shewing off to the best advantage the good qualities of our matai (or flooing, and .if the beautifully grained rimu for all inside purposes. We have not the slightest doubt that Mr Humphries will take good c ire to let it be known that our forests ' have suppliel the building'material, and we predict that this fact will soon be talked of in almost every bouse in Sydney and the me-ms of., bringing - many new ordera to th>s-pushing firm. As a further proof of Mr Humphries' energy and 'cutenesa we may mention another fact which ia also likely to be favorable to our ti nber trade with Australia, and still more open up the market. The firm is now erecting mills at Sydney, prineipvlly for planing purposes, tnd will soac be able to supply all kin's of tfmbfr planed ; this will set it off to still greater advantage Tint the New Zealand timber is rupidy into uotice may bo gathered from the f»ct that the HawWs IJiy Timber Company received an order last Saturday, u'so from Sydney, for several hundred tbouaand.|eet of piur. ;
