It is rumoured that tho Waingawaroad bridgo has collapsed en tho Cartorton sido of tho river. Thero was a tremendous flood iu the river list night and we were informed by a gontleman, who came from tho Lowor Valley early this morning, that tho river was cutting into tho bank on the southern side, to it is quite possible the rumour is correct. A Napiertelegcam of Oct. Bth contains tho following startling news:—A largo number of counterfeit Bank of Zealand notes appear to have been circulated during tho last few days. At the last mectmp of tho Jockey Club ono gortleman in the course of business received six such notes, all of which were returned by tho bank with tho word "Forgery" written across them. The counterfeit ones are splondid imitation; of the real article, apparently the result of expert photo-lithogranhy ; but by c?reful examination, the cheat is easily dis' ' covered, probably bocauae the lens used in the operations was too small. Every letter and word on tho the original note photographed is reproduced in the forgery on a slightly smaller scale; for instance, between tho sentence "One Pound" at top of the genuine date, and the eame sontenco in the counterfeit, , there is a difference of several lines in 1 depth, and at least an eighth of an inch in tho full length of the sontenco. Tho counterfeits aro reproductions ot one upon tho Chriatchurch branch of the Bank, the number bcine "No C 072912."

Mamma put her in the bath face downwards mid kept herthcre." Shocked (it tho words tho father rushed upstairs to the bathroom and found the child as described. He at once went for Dr Fell who pronounced the child dead. Asked * how tho child had met its death the 3 wretched mother replied shohad drowned ' it in the bath, and it was the best thing that'could have happened her. She also said the child was not her own but had been changed on her. The ' woman was taken (o tho police station and repeated the statement when tho

charge was read over to her. The accused woman was brought up at the R.JI. Court tins morning and remanded for a week.
