INVERCARGILL.
Tuesday.
The Bluff Harbour Board election resulted in the return of Kemp and Wichol. The Chamber of Commerce returned Brodrick; St Helen County Council, J. W. Mitchell; Wallace County; J. JR. Cuthbertson ; Lake County, McArdell; Invercargiil, Martin and D. Smyth. Two will be nominated by the Government bringing the whole number up to ten five of the old members having got back, three of them by local bodies, who would not get a public election. The public are dissatisfied at these bodies electing members. There was almost a merry discussion in the Chamber of Commerce about Brodrick buttonholing members outside, and obtaining promises of a majority of rotes. The same thing was the case in the County Council election. . - Patterson, the Victorian lunatic, has been committed to the Asylum at Danedin. The first instalment of sheep—looo— huß been delivered by train at the Endale Station, from the Levels, Canterbury, where they are starving, owing to the late draught.
