Religious intolerance does not obtain m Nelson. The Rev Mr Isitfc, of the Wes^ leyan Church, recently went on a holiday, and his pulpit was filled by a Church of England clergyman. We have received from the publishers, j the *'Lyttelt6n Times" Company, the Southern Provinces Almanac for 1892. The almanac has its usual comprehensive supply of useful information, is well got up, and is a capital shilling's worth. The annual social gathering m connection with St Andrew's Church takes place at the Temperance Hall, Tmwald, to-morrow evening. Several Ashburton amateurs will take' a share m the musical part of the proceedings, and the usual success is expected to attend the efforts of the committee. HThe dwelling-house, dairy, and brick store of Mr H. J. Hall, of Birdting Brook farm, Leeston, was totally destroyed by fire yesterday. The fire, is supposed to have originated from a defective chimney. Scarcely anything was saved, owing to the fierceness of the fire. We draw the attention of horticulturists, amateur and professional, to a notice m another column convening a meeting of those willing to assist m the formation of a Horticultural Society for Ashburton, to be held on Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock m the Arcade Chambers, kindly granted for the purpose by Mr Bullock. There was but a small audience at the Wesleyan Church laist night to hear the Rev S. L»wry'» interesting lecture on " Darkest Africa," m which the chiefs ot Stanley's expedition were described both verbally and pictorially by the aid of a magic lantern. Stanley's course over the dark continent was followedjby the the lectarer, and the chief features of recent Africa exploration noted. The Wonderful flush of grass this season is responsible for some peculiar phenomena. One «f these has been brought to light during the aheap-Shearing thatJs now m progress. At Mr Benjamen Hamptons, ftewlands, a number, of .thei wethers— croesbreds—have been found to have a well developed udder and teats, charged with milk This is not an unprecedented phenomenon, as about three years bpck Mr Herring, of the Alford Estate, had to give up breeding from Border Leicester, as their progeny were so precocious under the Hence of the abundant feed of the Alford lands that not only the maiden ewes but ulsomany of che wethers had quite a Sow of milk. When the Alford Border Leicester rams were sold some of them went into the Newlands district and it may have been their progeny m which similar manifestations have been observed. Two somewhat sensational burglaries are reported. In one the sufferer was Mr Azzopardi, of Simpson road, Richmond, who keot the Government post office m connec tion with his own business of newsagent. He went to bed on the premises about mid night <m Saturday, and not long afterwards eeveral men, probably three, gamed admis sion to the shop through the front <W by the help of a skeleton key, and going straight to the office wrenched the safe from its fastenings, and rolling it over and over, took it through the back door and out at the back Late into the rigtit-of-wiy. There a hand- Sart was m waitiiig, and into it the safe was lifted Ihe robbers trundled their load to Studley Park, where they set to work to break: open the safe. They were rewarded with £55 m cash, of-which £2o was post office funds, and £50 worth of stamps. JPhe «wond burglary was at Madeline street, •SI MrFmncisE Ryar.was out at the Democratic Club, and. did not get home till past midnight. When he had let himself m . & a late! key, he was startled by hearing Incise as of men clattering up the staircase into the second story. Being a man of fine ■nhvsique, and much strength and courage, he did not hesitate to follow. He ran up stairs at their heels, and just as he had almost overtaken them they darted into his edrooin, where his wifelay asleep, and locked the door behind them. The wife screamed with terror, and Mr Ryan burst m the door. When he gained admittance the burglars, who wore two m number, turned iipon him and struck him, first with sticks and then with a lemonade bottle. He stuck to them, however, till the neighbors, alarmed by his wife's fecreams, came to his assistance, and they are now m custody. One of them is the nephew of Mr Ryan, who is a ttian of independent means.—"OtagoDaily limes correspondent.

I A wedding was once stopped m the following curious manner. The people were well-to-do-farmers. The day was fixed, breakfast prepared, and the carriages waiting at the door. All things were ready. The bridegroom drove up to the house, and Jran m to see his bride before he started for the chapel. He found her weeping, as brides often do when they leave home. And who would' believe it if they read it .m*a romance? The bridegroom coldly informed the young lady that "if that was the way she Was going to begin it would be the end of it." He left the bride m a dead faint, walked out of the house, and rode away. It was the end of it m more ways than one. There was an action for breach of promise. The young lady died of a broken heart. He afterwards married three wives m rapid succession, and his life was far from being happy. A rather gruesome and startling discovery was made m Invercargill on Saturday. From a telegram received by Mr Hickson, inspector of police, from Sergeant M'Donneil, it appears that Mr Darling, bonedust manufacturer, Mill road, bought some bags of bones at Froggatt's sale on the 2nd inst. On Saturday he discovered one bag con tained human bones. Sergeant M'Donneil and Dr Young, on being informed of the of the discovery, proceeded to make investigations, and found the bones of four adults and probably those of one child. Sergeant M'Donneil at once took possession. He found that Mr iToggatt had received bones from different persons, but thinks the bones m question came from an auctioneer at Kiverton, and further inquiry will be made there. The bones are very old and were evidently dug out of the ground. It is probable they are the bones of Maoris, picked up by a bone gatherer from some Maori burying place.
