ANOTHER “HALL" EPISODE.

/ The following is clipped fmm the Mount Ida Chrotide: —When Thomas Hall, the Timaru poisoner, was a y >un? man he lodged with a highly respectable family, with the daughter of which he trifled. She was found in a well dead, of coarse. Four or five years he had a partner named Tail, who, under the stress of financial troubles, was supp s?d to have wandered from his home in a deranged state of mind, tie was found dead near the beach, about three m lea south of Timsra. Some time before this there was a marred couple on hia father’s station. The hi-bind cma home one day and caught H ui and the wife under equivocal circumstances. The mao shot his wife cn the spot and is now serving a life sentence la Lyttelton gaol. When Hall arrived at that s rung “ old this un fortunate man was the fir.t to see him. “ Ha! you wretch,” he exclaimed ; “ you’ve come at last, have you ?"

THE EFFECTS OF WITNESSING AN EXECUTION.

A terrible outcome of having witnessed an execution comes to us from France. It appears that a lad under 15 was ailowe !, not long ago to witness t ,e execution of a murderer at Versailles Tha effect pro duced upon him was intense, and ha was haunted by the lugubrious ecena of which he bad bean a spectator. H; could ta'k of no other subject but the guillotine, and to all with whom he conversed he described what he had witnessed. Horrible visions, he complained, pursued him at night, preventing him er j )ying that repose so neoeesiry for hia un balanced mind. Luring the daytime he was equally tortured, imagining himself ti be an executioner, and declaring t'iat 1 he had a craving to see bloodshed. The unfortunate lad, who was apprenticed to a bootmaker, ultimately gave ’ p his em ployment, and for s 'me days was lost eight of, it bav.ng since transpired that he had been seen wandering about the country. A day or two ago the fugitivs was discovered lying insensible by the road side, whilst close to him was a dog, whose head he had severed with a

butcher’s koifa On recovering from the swoon into which he hid fallen, he was found to ba raving mad, snl hai to be removed to a place of safety, pending his admission to a lunatic asyiam. The doctors who have examined him fear that this will prove a case of incurable insanity.

SOME FAMOUS OLD MEN.

Toe longevity of famous statesmen ia remarkable Imagine Lord Palmerston acting vigorously as Prime Minister of England when over eighty, governing the vast British Empire wi h steady band, and making fpeeches three hou r s long In the House of Commons, and ritirg next day ai fresh as a man of forty ! Think of the venerable the French states man, who at the age cf eighty-seven, was el ill writing h stories, presiding over religions conventions, and carrying on lire y discus i ms in the French Academy. The lata Lord Lyndhnist made able speeches in the House of when he pa's d his ninetieth year ; and his long time rival, 1o d Brougham, wrote his autobiography in three goodly volume! when he had nearly rei-c ed ninety years. The Marquis of Lmdsduwn-*, who aa Lord Henry Petty, was a hading member of the “All :ha Talents” Cabinet, of which Charles 3ames Fox was the chief, in 1806, was still an active member of the House of Lords nearly six'y years later, in 1868, ard died in that year at the ago cf ■eighty-three The Duke of Wellington took par* in Sublic affaire until his 'death in 1852, in is eighty-third year. In former generations energetic states men of advanced years are found th ckly scattered through the pages of hia-oiy. There was the old Maiquis of Winchet ter, who could rememter dward IV, the first York seven-urn, in 1483, and who, when he died in 1572, at 'he age of ninety-seven, was holding office under Queen Elizabeth. Referring to the statesmen of our own country, it is famahar Let that John Adams and Thomaa Jefferson, the second and third Presidents, both died on the 4th July, 1826, just half a century from the day on which both signed the De claration of Independence, Adams being nlnty-one and Jefferson eighty-three, President Andrew Jackson lived to be eighty-two, John' Quincy Adams to be eighty-one, Madison eighty-five.—Youth’ Companion.

IMPORTANT MINING DISCOVERY.

It is not generally Known that a very important discovery has I-tely been made a few miles across the Victorian bo der and one tba'. gives indication or being a Second Mount Morgan. The locality is at Jindora in the ranges, about eight miles from Albury, and withiu easy access from Melbourne The Mount la 800 ft high, and g -I first found Tn the small gutters descending the piles. The finders were tempted to try the top of the mount, and opened a large excavation or quarry 36 r ‘t deep by about 18ft wide, and the whole of the earth taken from the opening was found gold-bearing. A small shaft was sunk Tsft deeper, when far richer deposits were revealed. Pros pecting has been carried on round the sides of the mount, and everywhere gold Is to be found, the yield varying from 2dwt to 2oz to the ton. Even the very stones lying on the surface when c uahed have yielded good returns. In cutting a trench at the bottom of iha hill for the purpose of conveying water to the dam two important and highly-pryable reefs have been cut, and as these iee f s come down the side of the hill, the inference is that the whole hill is auriferous. On the phaesn below excellent alluvial wash has been found within the las' few weeks, thus showing that gold has been freely washed down from the hill. Tne stono is easily worked, being almost ent rely decomposed mundic, and crushes easily. The claim which consists of 105 acres, is owned by a private company of six Melbourne gentlemen, and ia called the Soudan. About a mile from the Soudan ia another Important discovery, ana onowhch pro mises to rival the famous Long Tunnel The claim is called the Bangowannah. A reef of 12ft wide was found on the sur face, sod has been proved to a depth of £7ff, where it has < paned out to 22f r between two well-defiued walls Toe whole of th>a reef is expected to average per ton. Trial crush ngs have gone loz to 4oz. The reef has b*ea pr ved 600 ft along the surface, and each of tie trial shafts have given returns equal to the main one. If the reef goes down payable for another 50ft, a mine of im mense value will be proved A tunnel has Geen run in from the side of the hill and intersected the shaft. The mine ran bo worked very cheaply, and a fifteen head battery is being erected The con tour of the country is similar to th°t of the Soudan, hut iu the Bang wannah the £eef is'- wall defined, whereas in th' Soqdan it is a"tiraly different. The auriferous area so far disc vered is not. very extensive, being about two mile* in length and half a mile in width.— Age

AN EXTRAORDINARY CORRES PONDENCE

A correspondence with hair was once attempted between a notorious Parisian thief in durance vile and his comrades outside. Thepiisoner was sent a letter from his lover, containing merely a Jock of hsir wrapped in the leaf of a bo 'k. The gaoler did not consider the souvenir important enough to be delivered ; but ia a few there came a similar en closure, and yet another. This aroused suspicion, and the governor took the matter in hand. He examined the leaf of the book. It was that of a common novel, tweu'.y-aix I res on a page Then he studied tie hair, and noticed the small quan ivy i f the gift. Counting the hairs, he fon A •*- . m f unequal length and twentj >llx InQHßlbsl?,'he same as the lioea on the - uc». with the coinci dence, he laid the hairs along the lines of the page, which they respectively reached, beginning at the top with the smallest, hair, After some trouble, he found that the end of each hair pointed to a different letter, and that these letters combin'd formed a sl»ng sentence, which informed the prisoners that his friends wore on the watch, and that the next time he left the prison to be examined an attempt would ba made to rescue him. The governor laid his plans accordingly. The st'empt was made, but the rescuers fell into their own trap

A WOMAN’S SUFFERINGS AND GRATITUDE.

A VOICE FROM AUSTRIA

it Near the village of Zillinf,dorf, in Lower is Austria, lives Maria Haas, an intelligent and I. industrious woman whose sto yof physical e suffering an ’ final relief, as related I y herself b is of interest to English woman. “ I was em s ploy d,” she says, ‘‘in the work of a large farmhouse. Overwork brought on sick head ache, followed byadeathly fainting and sickness of the stomach, until I was unable to retain either food or diink. I was compelled to • take to my bed for several weeks. Getting a little better from rest and quiet, I sought to do some work but was son taken with a pa : n ir my side, which in a little while seem to spread 1 over my whole hodv, and thr bbed in my eveiy H limb. This was followed bv a cough and . sh tin s- of broth, until fi y 1 could rot st w, am! I took to my bed for the second, and. as I thought, for the la t time. My f iend . toll me that my time had nearly come, and that I could not live longer than when the trees put on their green once more. Then 1 * happened to get one of the Seigel pamphlets. 3 1 read it, and my dear mother bought me a 9 bott'e of Seigel’s Syrup, whi;h I took exactly according to directions, and I had not taken the whole of it before I felt a great change for the better. My last illness began June 3rd, l 1882, and continued to August 9, when I began 1 to take the Syrup. Very soon i could do a l little light work. The couph left me. and I I was no more troubled in breathing. Now 1 r am per'ectly cured. And oh, how happy I [ am ! I cannot expre-'S gratitude enough for Siegel’s Syrup. Now I must tell you that the doctors in our district distributed handbills cautioning people against the medicine, telling them it would do bent no good, and many were thereby influenced to destroy the Seigel 1 pamphlets ; but now, wherever one is to be found, it is kept 'ike a relic. The few pre served are borrowed to tjead, and I have lent mine for six mil s around our district. People hve come 18 miles to get me to buy the medicine for them, knowing that it cured me and to be sure to get the right k nd. I know a woman who was looking like death, and who told them there was no help forher, that she had consulted several do tors, but none could help her. I to'd her of Seigel’s Syrup, and wrote the name down for her that she might make nc- mistake. She took my adv'ce and the Syrup, and now she is in perfect health, and the people around us are amazed. '1 he medicine has made such progress in our neighborhood that people say they don’t want the di ctorany more, hut they take the Syrup. Svfferers from gout who were confined to their bed and could hardly move a fin ;er, have been cured by it. There is a girl in our district who caught a cold hy going through some water, and was in bed five years with cs’ive ness and rheumatic pains, and bad to have an attendant to watch by her. There was not a doctor in the surroundin',’ districts to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her I ch Id, but every one cro sed themse ves and 1 said they c add not help her. Whenever the 1 little bell rang which is rung in our pl’.ce when somebody is dead, we thought surely it was for ’ her, but Seigel s Syrup and Fills saved her ] life, and now she is as healthy as anybody, goes | to church, and can work even in the fields. . Everybody was astonished to see her out, knowing h w many years she had been in bed. ' To-day she adds her gratitude to mine for J God’s mercies and Siegel’s Syrup. - ’ Maria Haas. i The people of England speak confirming 1 the above. . s r AFTER MANY YE \RS. ) j “ Whittle-le-Wo ds near Chnrley, c “ December 26th, 1883. j “ Dear Sir.—Mother Seigel’s medicine sells exceed ng well with us, all that tty it speak highly in its favor.
