A BUSH MUST BY.

The story of the phantom bushfaller, who, some years ago disturbed by the sound of his axe the slumbers of a party of roadmakers in the Fortymile Bush, and wh se skeleton was subsequently founo in a hollow rata tree, has been revived by the finding on Tuesday last, near the same spot at the Pahiatua village sen!** ment of a large swag 0 decayed thai c intents when disturbed almost fell to pieces. The local Slat says that amorg the o’othieg was a naval coat (It Is Impos sible to say whether it was a dress-coat o a shell j .cket), and from the butt m* which ate silver, and in a good state of preservation), we should say the owner once belonged to the Union Steam Sb p ping Co.’s service—they bearing the letters \ Masonic diploma on parchment (issued by the Grand Lodge of New Sooth Wales), was also In the ■wag, and although very ranch discolored by the wet, yet we were enabled to ar ive at the name and the date of issue ; and we have communicated wUh the Brand Lodge at Sydney asking for any information on the matter it may feel di posed to impart The name on the parchment is •* David William Walker,” and the date of issue the earij oait of 1882. In one of the vest pockets was found a small scent bottle, made as a pendant for a watch chain, the top screw ing on. Although there Is no liquid in the bottle now, It has a very strong erne 1 of musk. There was also a r*z >r, tooti • brush, comb, pocket book, and other articles • bat nothing of any great value has been discovered.

A SAGACIOUS MARE

Says the Virgiaia City Montanian: — John Fletcher owns a mare, which runs in a pasture adj >inlng the house. The mare has a joong colt at her side. A few nights ago, after Mr Fletcher had re tired, he was aroused by the mare coming to the house, and by pawing, neighing, and in every possible way trying to get his attention This continuing for some time, he got up and went out and drove her away, and returned again to bed, but she immediately returned, and if possible, increased her demonstrations. He again went out, when the mare came up t) him and rubbed her nose against him although always before she had been very shy ; then ran on a few yards before him continuing neighing : then, as he did not follow her, she returned to him in the most demonstrative manner. He attem ted to drive her off, struck her with a stick, and followed her a few yard* to frighten her away. As soon, however, as he turned towards the house, she returned and tried in every way to prevent him from doing so. He tuen remarked that her colt wan not with her, a fact he had not noticed before, as it was puite dark. It occurred to him then to follow her, which ho did. So soon as she saw he was doing bo she ran off before him stopping every few yard#, turning round to see that he was still following, then again running on, keeping up bee calling until she reached a distant part of tte field, where she stepped at an old “ proepect hole.” Oncoming op with her, she again com menced robbing against him, and drew his attention to the hole, where he soon d'-<covered the colt. It appears It had slipped into It, and was unable to get out, and the mare had taken this method to obtain assistance Being unable to get It out alone, Mr Fletcher went for some of hi* neighbours, and with them returned While they were talking the little fellow out the mare manifested the mast intense delight, and seemed almost beside her self with joy ; and afterwards, when the men had got the colt rut of the hole, she came up to Mr Fi etcher and, p’acing her nose on his shoulder, gave every sign of gratitude that a human mother nrght under similar circumstances.

The second dose eased me so much that I slept two hours, something I had not done for two months. Before I had need five bottles, I was well and at work as hard as any man could, for over three weeks ; but I worked too bard for my strength, and taking a hard cold, I was taken with the most acute and painful rheumatism all through my system that was ever known. ••I called th,* doctors again, and afier several weeks they left him & cripple on cratches for life, as they said. I met a friend and told him my case, and be said Hop Bitters had cured him and would cure me? I poohed at him, but he was so earnest I was induced to use them again. In less than four weeks, I threw away my crutches and went to work lightly and kept on using the bitters for five weeks, until I became as well as any man living, and have been so for six years since. It has abo outed my wife, who had baen sick for years ; and has kept her and my children well and healthy with from two to three bottles a year. There is no need to be sick at all if these bitters are used. J J.
