the TCiited States, and also tho author of h tereral burlesques and opera bouffes now bains played in Melbourne ami other ' parts cf Australia. The murdered man, Gold, was in the habit; of travelling in the train in question. . Some articles were found on the person of Lefroy and also besides on the murdered man, which, it is thought will implicate tho former. Telegrams from Washington convey the shocking intelligence that a pro bably successful attempt was made to assassinate President Garfield yesterday at 9.30 a.m., while waiting for the tram at the Baltimore and Potomac Railway Depot. General Garfield was shot twice by one' Chas. Guinean, a disappointed office seeker,’who is presumably demented. One ball passed through the President s arm, and the other took effect in his hack, at the part I adjoining the * kidneys. According to the first ac counts the President was gradually sink ing, and his physicians expressed but little hope of Jus recovery. The occurence has profoundly moved tho nation and hearers elsewhere, and the 4th of July celebration will be passed by despite the elaborate preparations that had been made. Men of all parties unite in denouncing the atrocious deed, and in tendering their sympathy to the illustrious victim. The result of a consultation of physi cians is that the symptoms are more fa vorable than at any time since the shoot ing; his pulse is 116. No attempt has been made to get at the bullet, as the physicians think it has lodged where it will not necessarily interfere with the ultimate recovery of the President. $. J. Williams, for many years one of the editors of the San Francisco Bulletin, is dead. The wheat crop of the United States for 1880 is estimated at 460,000,000 bushels. The Carnell College crew (American) were badly beaten in the race for the Stewards’ Cup on July 3rd; they were a bad third. A contagious malady like leprosy has appeared at Toulouse, France.

MOUNT SOMERS SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

♦ A meeting of the above Committee was held on Friday evening, in the school room. Present—Messrs Harvey, Puddi combe, Patton, Price, and Fox. In the absence of the chairman (Mr I. E. Taylor), through illness, Mr Harvey •was voted to the chair. The Committee considered the applica tions received;for tht post of Master, and ■ it was unanimously decided to accept the application of Mr Henry Collins, of Ash burton. The Secretary was insruoted to write to the Board of Education, request ing 'them to confirm the appointment, in order that the Master may enter upon his duties forthwith. It was resolved that Mr Harvey wait upon the Mount Somers Road Board, at their next meeting, to request the Board to make a proper course for the water to pass the sehool ground, as in time of rain the water stands for some time round the school, flooding the ground, much to the inconvenience and discomfort of the children. 1 It was also resolved that the Secretary be instructed to write to the Board, ask ing for a grant of LlO or Ll2 for effecting necessary repairs to the schoolroom. It was stated that a fportion of one side of the roof had been stripped during the re cent storm, rendering some repairs abso lutely necessary before the school can be opened. After some business re advertising ac counts had been considered, and a small account for nostage, stationery, &c., had been passed, the meeting terminated with the usual votoipf thanks to the chairman. > * . i
