At the City Court, Dunodin,yesterday, Barratt, for attempted murder, was remanded for a week, The prosecutor is still in a serious condition, and is suffering from paralysis and probably fracture of tho skull, Those to whom invitations have been issued are reminded that Mrs C.

The Government havo decided not to send any mining exhibits to tho Mining Exhibition at Crystal Palace, but it being understood that a mining conference will be held at the Bame time, this colony will be represented. It is not yet known, however, whether anyone irill be sent from N. Z. or a representative will be .chosen in London. Tho Ilußsiiin authorities ppw forbid strangers to sojourn mere than thrco days in tho Crimea, or within any port of tho Black Sea, German commercial travellers feel that prohibition keenly, but it is chiofly levelled against thorn as tho Russian Government has detected many an Austrian and German'* spy travelling about as a bagman, A thrilling accident has occurred to tlip Canadian Pacific through express train in the mountains' plonf; the Columbia river. A rail gayo way at a point on tho mountain side, high above the rjver, Tho ongine passed oversafoly, but the two coaches following swung about and toppled over. Tho bank was nearly perpendicular, and tho cars v/ould have 1 tumbled several hundred feet bolow into tlio flowing river had it not been that the coupling twisted around and held the tremendous weight. Thus the two cars, : one with its load of passengers, were suspended between heavon and earth. Tho weight of the engine and the balance of Hie train prevented tho susponded cara.froni drawing the whole traindowii. Tl? e suspense was dreadful, Tho frightened' paawngers wore compelled to remain in their perilous position until tho train hands built a platform around and underneath the hoiiging cars, enabling all to make their oscapo," Tlio place whero tho accident occurred is considered flip uiost dangerous point on the inoimtajiis., Some eleven years ago the Moo (Victoria) branch of the Hank of Australasia was stuck up by two men, but the manager, Hector Mitnro, drop his revolver, and Instead of tho bank bojng plundered, the mcu were shortly afterwards apprehended and sentenced to Imprisonment. For his gallantry tho bank managor was rewarded. Latterly ho has been in charge of the CnlllngnW-0 juburbof Mo!-bouruo-braucli, but Munro baa himself disappeared, leaving, it is alleged, a deficiency in his accounts ostimatod at iIOOO toi'2ooo, and a warrant has been issued for liwapprohensiou.

An important salo of valuable furniture and effects, dairy stock, .land etc, is announced to'be hold'by Mesars Lowes and loms at Eketahuna'on Wednesday next.

Wo have to acknowledge tho receipt of a pamphlet, entitled the "Proposed Now Zealand Exhibition in London," from M. Jules Joubcrt. A number of residents of Ibis- town intend making an alpine tour during the holidays, and slatt for the Tararua Raugcs to morrow morning. 'With fiuo weather a pleasant tiiuo will be spent; Wo notice from tho Government! Gazette tint a post ollico has been opened at Maugatainoko, and that Mr <*. Walfcher has been appointed postmaster. This will doubtless bo a great boon to that part of the bush district, Ilio final performance of tho Wirth Bros Circus, camo oil' last night bofore auothoi' large audience. Ab tho conclusion, Mr P Wirth thanked thepooplo of Masterton for their patronage, and intimated the possibility of tho Circus again visiting Masterton in about ei»htcon months.

It was stated by telegram on Thursday last that a big yield of gold had been made at Kaitara, bilfc we wore advised ycsto.'day that tho assayor has communicated the fact that tho stouo behoved to have given tho jield of 19-1 ozi, to tho. ton is valueless, The crucibles used in the test were mixed, thus causing tho error. It is thought, fronvtho description given in the Wellington papers of the body of tho man which was found on Thursday Hunting iu tho harbor, that it is that of ono named Hush Gallagher, who was recently convicted in Mastertou of attempted suicide, and was

on the Bth inst sentenced to ton days' imprisonment, The man referred to was arrested on the 3rd, so (hit his ton days wonld have expired on Thursday. Serjeant Price is in communication with tho Wellington police on the subject, Thomas Edison's latest invention is a clock, which, instead of striking every hour, calls out in a loud voice every quarter of an hour. Inside, in connoclion with clockwork, is a phonograph, which can bo put to any possible use Edison has prepared an inexhaustible series of variations in order to call persons entiroaudicnces, toadmonish tho sleepers with loud voice byname, and command them repeatedly to get up uutil it is obeyed. As kitchen clock, it transmits to the cook the orders of the lady of the house to prepare meals, and at a certain hour reminds of tho work to ho done. The entrancing music of Wirth's trass band had such a soothing influence oil a k'no number of youths Tußt night, thai thoy becan>e perfectly oblivious of tho fact that they were blocking the Queen's highway, Consequently when a well-known pressman drovo up with his wife, and a small portion of his family, ho fouud his passage barred. Shouts did not scorn to have any effect whatever, Tho music had got so far into the boys, that not until the fiery steed had eaten ono man's hat, and made a light repast off another's ear, did they scatter sufficiently to let him pass. The annual general meeting of the

Miwtei-tou Philharmonic Society, vrhieh was to havo been held last oveniiig, fell through in conscquonco of the meagre attendance of members. It is sincerely to be regretted that out of a membership of fifty fwo only about half-a-dozen should put in an appearance at the annual meeting, The society, which is a select and proper one, has iu the past received tho support of the public, wd would doubtless have continued to do so, and there is thetoforo no justifiable •reason for tho lack of interest on the part of members themselves! We understand that unless things take a chango efforts will bo made to wind up the Society,

We can guarantee Mr Henry George an enthusiastic reception in Australia, says Mr John l'arrel, secretary of the N.S.W. Single Tax League. "We have
