The winner who .guestes Ihn exact or neareifc numbortothe cohten's of the bottle will receive a cash prize of two guineas. A corrrpondebt of the Euntftikei Advowto writes:—"l sond you enclosed a small ring, taken from the in;'of a c. trior | pigeon found dead in the vegefci'oln £;.ir. den at Heaton Park. I examined the bird caro.'ully, aud am of opinion ttat it came by its death by being knocked n building or ience by tho wind.

A short time ago. it waa stated in these columns (says tho Press) that the Benevolent Trustees number in the i ranks of those they supported a poetone who disdained the menial, tasks set him by tho master of the Benevolent Home, and aspircd i.o nomethiug h'jher, i —lrame work more elevating to the , mind; 'The trustees had considerable i difficulty in convincing him that piok . and shovel work was of more use to them I than unlimited supplies of poetical i effusions, but by the aid of gentle hints ) to the elect that he and the home would part company unless he fell in with their views, they managed to rid him of the idea that the home was one ! for the encouragement of indigent ' authors. He was not satisfied however, with the petition ho held at the home, and yesterday the Secretary to the trustees reported that the man had j left—gone on the spree, and was uow i serving a Sentence for drunkenness. I The trustees d. j oided to strike him off i tho books. , The North Otago Times says:—"We I have heard of a line of 2000 Lacks of wheat —MCD Velvet aud SOO each o."

These fisuroi are muoh better than anything that could be doae by £.oud>iig the wheat Howe," In his speech at Gore the Hon. G. F. Biohard6ou ; speaking of the special settle-, ment system, said that, of his own kuowledge, in ihe Forty-Mile Bush hplt the "settlers" sold their sections at a premium of 208,235, or 30s an acre. They d:w the land and never saw it.- (A voi.ie: " Quite r'jhi,") Was it quite risk to put in 10s or vlaud reap this large piofit, os should the State get it. - The Wellington Special Settlement Association originally consisted of 90 members [seven were left, A settlement .it Woodville numbered 46, of whom one' was now residing aud the MastertonHawera Association originally numbored [ thirty-two, of whom thres wero left. And , it must not be supposed that the sections i weredcterted. On the contrary, they were occupied, aud if not highly cultivated tho bush was e'eared, the best of grass was grown, aud there were houses on all the sections ocoupied by true settlers who had had to pay the city spielers for the rijht to get on to tho laud. Takiiij the whole colony through, of the 906 original namos, 206 remain; the number of transfers was 349, and not nine of •those but what was for a substantial consideration I The system was wrong, as was any system which prevented ' men .who honestly and really desired to occtfpy and improve our waste lands from, having the opportunity tf doing so. A story ol a most* sensational character has been telegraphed to New York, says tho Oenlral Nem, from Morganfield . Kentucky. A farmer named Oliver, whose daughter Abbie had been betrayed by her sweetheart, Henry Dclaney, sought out the latter, and on his refusing to marry the girl whipped out his revolver and covering j his daughter's betrayer with it, ordered him to"Maroh," Delaney deemed it prudent to obey, and accompanied the farmer to his homestead, whence, joined by the girl Abbio and her mother, the wholo party f"ove to the house of a minister, where the marriage took place. A number of Delaney's friends, getting to hear of the extraordinary affair, mustered in force and proceeded to the minister's houße with the view to a rescue. They arrived, howevor, just too late, the bridal party having left the house and re-entered thoir conveyance, The young men, enrajed at their failure, opened fire with their revolvers upon the occupants of the carriage, and a couple of minutes latar the unhappy 'oride was a corpse,- her father seriously wounded, and her mother only escaped by the coachman driving aw ay j at a furious pace. The bridegroom Delaney jumped from the carriage and rejoined his > friends, Now that he is dead, stories to Mr G. A. Baird's oredlt continue to crop up. One ! who knew him intimately tells (says tho Pelican) the following about him:—Just after Baird won the Derby with Merry Hampton, in the Jubilee'year," he was accosted in the street one ni'jht by. a pallid I wretch, who asked for alms, Baird looked fixedly at the gaunt fellow, whose eyes were 1 dim and horriblo io look into, aud asked the man who and what he was. He said that ' he had been an eng.'ave: 1 , but owin" to partial loss of eyesight he had gone down hill until he was aboui at the bottom, "Where do you liv 3 ?" said Ba'rd, The man named a Btreetdown Whiiechapel way, andEaiid, bailing a four-wheeler, pushed the beggar and a nun who had been with him into tho vehicle, and told tho cabman to drive to tho place. This was early in the evening. About midnight Baird turned up, looking j,:ave, and perfectly sober. " To-monow I want you to gosonuwheredownthe river iuto the country and'rent a cottage for twenty years in the name of this 'fellow's wife and £x up an annuity that'll give 'em a bit to buy bread and coal with. I can't get thai woman's face out of my head, nor the children either, and I'm hlcst if they shan't have a breath of fresh air and a chance to stay honest. You arianje it, mind you, to-morrow, and fokh mo the papers to sign if I forget it." To Ulster Buyers and Buers of Ulsters I They, that is Hooper and Co., have jubt. opened 14 cases of Ladies and Children's Ulsters and Jackets, of every shape, kind, and material, The prices are extremely low and it is their intententioiito make the trade in this line hum. They won't quote piices because such a plan is delusive in the extreme to tayan Ulster (and when we sty Ulster-we mean a laiies Ulster) of a certain chape is offered at a certain price, is no evidence of excellence. Indeed, the statemeni m&y and sometimes doc 3 carry with it condemnatory proof of the most convincing kind. An Ulster quoted at 10s 9d may be only iwOrth half as much Besides, buyers know too well the oostto need the assistance of a price list. Itia thusly you want an Ulster. You've a pound or two to spend or may be it is. only half as much, or possibly less 1 Do you find any consolation in the fact that Ulsters are to bo had at this, price and thai ?

The Mudgeway-Hollis assault ease 1 again came on in tho Wellington fiesi--1 dent Magistrate's Court yesterday morn. ' ing. Several witnesses were called, the 1 most important of whom was Louise ' Hollis, the injured woman. She came 1 into Court with her head swathed in bandages, and a black worsted shawl , tlirowh over it, It was very evident I from the commencement of the evidence i that she had either made it up with the ) accused, or wished to let him down as . lightly as possible. She deposed that the . house in which she lived with Mudgeway was his own. as he paid the rent for ■ it She worked as general servant in the , houso next dour, which was one of illfame. Witness aud accused had often I had quarrels, but not of a serious nature ' Accused had given her some money in the morning, and aßked her. to return > him sixpence of it to buy some beer with. E She stated that when she had told tho ' police officer that Mudgoway dragged ' her out of bed, she had not told the' r truth; he called her into the soul lory f and asked hor for the money. She refused him, and aggravated him veiy ] much by her reply and manner. There . was s square bottle on.: the shelf, and 3 he seized it and etruok hor with it. She did not feol the first blow much, but the second one dazed her. She was \ just as much in fault as he was, Hor head bled very much when tho bottle ' broke over it. When the, constable came she gave the accused. In charge. c When alio left the hospital on Sunday Mudgew'ay took her home ina'oab. Bh# had benn. living .with him since, i She did not wish to press the oharge, * and if. possible would like to withdraw it, Mr A. A.
