Teeming with gold. — The JJnih/ Ma //'.« New York correspondent telegraphs — A new district teeming with gold is reported to have bien recently discovered H')o rnile-i from Dawson City. A mining engineer accidentally ca-nc upon the diggings, and is certain the region far exceeds Klondykc in productiveness. Eleven pounds of gold in nuggets was washed down by a stream which at low water exposes the yellow metal in great profusion. The location is known only to four men. Large finds are also reported in Canada, near Lake Superior, and American prospectors are now on their way to Toronto to perfect their claims. In his Jubilee Bonk of Cricket, R-vnji speaks with no uncertain voice upon the question of doubtful delivery in bowling. He refers to Jones and M'Kibben, members of the last Australian Eleven, and says they both possess doubtful actions. As Ranji truly admits, ■• we In England certainly have no right to cast the first stone," but it is high time that something was done in this correction. John Bull occasionally perpetrates a bull that is quite as '• bully "' as any Irish bull. According to ■' Law Notes "of England, an English Judge, in sentencing a prisoner, recently said — " Are you aware that for the^e repeated breaches of the law it is in my power to send you to a term of penal servitude far exceeding your natural life ? And, what is more, I feel very much inclined to do it."
