THE ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1884.



On New Tear’s Eve an extraordinar disturbance was made at the Russell stree gaol jo Melbourne by upwards of forty o the prisoners, male and female. . The; started yelling about 11 o’clock, makinj night hideous, and until 3 a.m. they kep up the screaming, interspersing it witl most foul and disgusting language, not . withstanding the remonstrances of the authorities, A body of police was seni over from Russell street to assist in quail ing the nocturnal vociferation, but wer< of no avail Their assistance was not re quired in any other respect, as the pri soners were ah secured in the cells. At about 3 a.m. the noise ceased, the mad dened mob doubtless becoming exhausted, and a few hours’ sleep was given to the residents in the neighborhood. Air Call, P.M., visited the gaol, and dealt severely with the principals to the number of twenty-six males and five females. He sentenced the most outrageous of the pri soners to solitary confinement and subse quent imprisonment, and those who de sisted when remonstrated with got off leniently. It was the most disgraceful affair that has ever happened in the gaol. - A phenomenon of a rare kind (says the Tamworth News) took place in the Uralla • -district on Thursday week, in the shape of a‘fall of impalpable dust of a reddish "brown color, which quickly enveloped ■ — : wvaiything exposed to its influence. The dost continued to fall throughout the day' the atmosphere, especially in the morning, presented the same appearance as that usually, seen in foggy or drizzly weather. ' Water exposed to the falling dust changed ’ to chocolate hue, and many who had • linen drying on their lines were compelled to subject it to a second washing to get rjd of the dust. Owing to the strange visitation, the sun and moon seemed to be obscured in a greenish haze. Some of . i the dust was sent to the Government astronomer, and the Uralla Times pub* Halted .the following letter ; “ Sydney Observatory, December 20, 1883. H. Roman, Esq., J. P. My Dear Sir, —I am very much obliged to you for sending me tha red dust. It appears to be just the same as that which fell in the southern parts of the colony some time since. It probably comes from soma dried up lagoon in the interior, from which in the firat.instance it was carried up by a whirl* wind, and then travelled a very long way Jbefore the brought it down at Uralla.” Don’t Die in the House.— “ Rough on Rats ” clears out rats, mice, beetles, roaches, bed-bugs, flies, ants, insects, moles, jack rabbits, gophers, Moses, Moss and Co., Sydney, General Agents. i Holloways Ointment and Pills.— Diseases of the Bowels,—A remedy, which -has been tested and proved in a thousand dif ferent ways, capable of eradiating poisonous 'taints from ulcers and heading them up, merits a trial of its capacity for extracting the internal corruptions from die bowels. On rubbing Holloway’s Ointment repeatedly on the abdo men a rash appears, and as it thickens the alvine irritability subsides. Acting as a deri vative, thi< unguent draws to the surface, re - leases the tender intestines from all acrid mat ters, and prevents inflammation, dysentery, and piles, far which .blistering was the old* mhioned, though successful treatment, now from its painfulness fallen into disuse, the dis covery of this Ointment having proclaimed a remedy possessing equally derivative, yet. per fectly painlesspo were.—[Advt.
