Tho finder' will be rewarded t A correspondent of tho Taranaki D.ailyNews srates thifc the Taranaki police officers aro worked from 12 to 15 hours per day. , The valuable thorougbbred raoing I atudofMrW.O. Williams, of Kaiwaiwai, is advertised by Mr P. H. Wood to beaold by auotion on Friday, the 20th 1 mat. 3 Two men named James and Prauou Lyous have been sentenced to death in Melbourne for burglary.

In proof not only of the extraordinary growth of grass this season (says the Bruce Herald), hut also of the fertility of Inch Olutha, it may interest many to ; know that on 20 acres of ground belong tag to Mr James Smith, of the Grango, 10 sheep to the acre have been main, tained for tho laßt seven weeks, and that thore is at present no signs of the feed running short. We understand that 12 ii the greatest average yet reached in any part of New Zealand for such a lengthened period. The lnangahua Times of the 22nd inst says;-" Messrs Collet Dobßon and Joe Kennedy (brother of the genial J.J.) accomplished the feat of walking from Westport to Roefton, accompanied by tlie company's St. Bernard dog Lion, who makes his first appearance in ' Hanß the Boatman. 1 The trio looked none the worse for their pedestrian tour. Considering they corered the 50 railei in 12 hours, it lnpt be accounted' a ' remarkably creditable record for Votaries of Theapis, who are not supposed to be in the pink of condition." " Tho Olutha Free Press asserts that a recent case heard at Balclutha was a burlesque on justice. Mr James H. Harvie is a farmer adjoining the railway line, _ The top rail of-the fence separating him from the railway had beet, sawn through to facilitate the removal of some furniture belonging to a railway hand, Two of Mr Harvie's horses strayed •through the breaoh thus made, and were killsd by a passing train, the owner thus josing £SO. An information was laid against Mr Harviofor allowing his horses to wandor, and he was convicted and fined, Mr Revell holding he had been guilty of negligenco in not discovering a'ud repairing the breaoh. presumably made by a servant of the Raijwiy (Join- ' missionera, who were the prosecutors, • Mr J.
