Mrß.Dodson t : a'nnld and esteemed settler of Blenheim, who has for years been foremost in the puhho affairs of Marlborough,' suddenly and unexpec« tedly expired on Saturday sight from ths effects of a paralytio stroke. The deceased was one ot the oldest Nelson settlers, arriving at tho time of the Now Zealand Company's settlement, For some years ho represented ; the Wairaii electorate in Parliament, and was always esteemed in political ciroles for his wise oounselaand eonnd common Bense. His sudden; demise has cast a deep gloom 'over' tho community, "■■ "■'": _ What is probably the first arrest of tjJlr kind was made by the polioe recently (says the 'Marlborough Bxpresj'), when a young man well-known in tho dhtriot wasarrcßted on a warrant issued by tho Eegistrarof the Supreme Court of Nelson under section 43 of the Lunacy Act, 1882, for .his committal, in a private asylum at Uunediri. When the warrant first arrived the police refused to exeouta it, deeming the authority insufficient. After correspondence'with the Jußtiw Department, they were «ivon tho nbces* sary instruction!, and two constables were sent nut after him. The strange part of the proceedings is that 'lt is not alleged that he is a lunatic at all, bub is subject simply to outbursts, of intemperance, which render him a nuisance to his relatives, and also cause them much worry and distress, ....

The.fohWng conversation was overheard in the street the other day, but for obvious reasons wo shall omit the name of one of the parties; the other was tho well known drapor, ir L, I Hooper.
