TE AROHA.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRES PON DENT.)

Te Akoha, Friday. The. R.M.; Court sat yesterday,, Mr H. Stratford presiding. There was very, little bhsmess, only two cases being heard, in both of which judgment was given for plaintiffs, viz., Smith nnd Dow v. H. Randolph, claim for board and rent of billiard table, £10 19s Gd. Judgment with costs 20s. Smith and Dow v. J. Lyons, claim for board £2 8s Gd. Judgment with cpsts 6s. • -A practical trial of a new process of gold extraction is about to be made by Mr J. B. Smith of Waitoa. Experiments on a small scale have already been made with such successful results that Mr Smith has ordered from Messrs leaser and Tinne, of Auckland, the machinery necessary to give the process a; trial on a large scale, and will shortly have it erected. The method of treatment consists of forcing the stuff through a bath of quicksilver, and is said to answer .admirably for the deposit at Waitoa, which is almost wholly free from the baser minerals that act injuriously upon the quicksilver. It is the invention of a tradesman at Te Awamutu, who is understood to have applied to have it patented. The wish is general that is will realise all that is expected from it. Yesterday afternoon as Mr E. Gallagher was driving his 'bus along Whitaker-street one of the horses shied at somethingion a passing dray, and pulled the vehicle on to the .-edge-of--.the footpath at Mr D. J. Eraser's store. One of the wheels came in contact with a post of the verandah, and dragged the whole structure away from the main building to the ground. Fortunately no damage was done to the windows, and the 'bus also escaped uninjured.
