We regret to learn that Mr. K. 0. Coleman has been compelled by the advice of Dr. McKenzie. the well known oculist, to resign his position in the Bank of New Zealand in order to proceed Homt for further medical treatment. Those who in this town have come in contact with Mr. Coleman in his business capacity will be sorry to witness the promising career of a capable and cc urteous bank offioial cut short by so grave a misfortune as that which has befallen him.

A tragic occurrence took place at Scarsdale ("V ictona) on Sunday last. A young man named Dodds, who was charged with passing valueless cheques, was being pursued by Constable Walsh. The constable called on him to atopjftr whereupon Dodds turned, drew a revolver and fired. Walsh stepped back, tripped and fell, though he had not beon shot. Dudds started off again, ai.d when some distance ahead was heard to fire again. The constable, quickly recovering himself, continued the chase, and soon overtook Dodds, who had sat dv,wn behind a tree. Blood was flowing from his mouth, and it was evident that he had shot himself. Ho was taken to the police station, where he died about two hour's afterwards. Dodds was a recent arrival from England, and said to be related to one of the leading officers in the British navy. In the Nelson Evening Mail of Tuesday appears the following letter, refers to a lecture on' "E volution''whion " the Rev F. W. Evans delivered there on Sunday night:—"Sir.—lf a conglomeration of inscrutable incomprehensible profundity,or a compound concatenation of chimerical verbiage, together with a paradoxial interspersion of incontovertible complications, oollocated antithetically in inimitable ineffableness constitutes oratory, then the gentleman who addressed the people(?) at the Theatre on Sunday evening stands in juxtaposition to the greatest of orators. The redundant and overwhelming immensity ot concentrated intellectuality, comprehensively and concurrently set forth with, .jtnpassioned declamation its ineffablenoss, radiated with unj3P*~ eled refulgence upon the opaoityTftu" ohtuseness of his hearers, whose theoretical theism was unequivocably confounded by the transcendental conuen. trativeness of his arguments.—For an elucidation of the above apply to yours, &c, Hypochondriac."
