GREYTOWN NOTES.

(From Out' Own Correspondent), Saturday.

Mr Joe -Qnin arrived here from ' t'oolgardie last night. He left the ««ldlields 011 the 14th January last, arriving in Wellington by the Wakaiipu yesterday morning, after experiencing a very rough passage. In sin interview with him this morning iio stated that iio would not go through the same experience 011 a tjoldtield for all the gold in the country. His two mates Will Maigli and Fred Amos both died in thet/'oolgardie Hospital (which is a large tent). The former, who was recovering from typhoid fever, took a sudden turn for the worse, and i'.xpiied in two hours, but appeared conscious right up to the last. The latte." was unconscious for many Louis. Both wcro buried in the cemetery and their comrade placed a headstone »t each grave. Mr Quin .suffered from ,'ow fever, but with careful attention .recovered. Mr DM,: Hughes, late of O'reytown, ivas. thinly person tliey knejv 011 the field, and lie was assistant ai- the Hospital and did all his power for them. Coolgardie is destined to be .11 rich reefing field. He was surprised to read the accounts of the tield as given by the New Zealand papers—too glowing and too far ' fetched] There are hundreds going .and coming from the fields, Monday. Last Saturday orening there was <inite a little excitement in Main Street. It appears a young man who was intoxicated assaulted the local constable, which resulted in a ; rough and tumble between the constable, his assailant, and one or two others. Afterconsiderablo difficulty the man was taken into custody. He will be dealt with at the S.M, Court this week. Yesterday, the Rev. Mr Dallas-

ton, of Wellington, took anniversary

services in connection with the Woe- ' leyan Sunday School. The attendance was small in the morning in consequence of the wet -weather, but in the afternoon and evenincr good

congregations were present. His addrefko the scholars and discourses moOTiig and evening will be long remembered by both parents and tolara of the Presbyterian and slcyan Sunday Schools, and adult friends, and those who were absent missed a treat.
