December £O> Tt is expected that the proclamation declaring the Colony free of scab will be gazetted either this or next week. Blenheim, December 28. The "Marlborough Times'" special guldfields correspondent at Deep Oreek writes under to-day's date of the Waka marina Gorge claim as ff°™: ~™c pumps are working well, and the gorge was dry by five o'clock this evening. They washed up a paddock of drift shingle at the entrance of the gorge, 10ft by 12ft and 4ft thick, and got Mozs of gold They will wash up below the Pfddock to day on the bed rock and expect good.re sult... The gold got is all^9™ "ye™"" and all from Grummitty Hill, cleariy showing that the gold has come from Deep Creek. The place from *here the gold was got lies in the dip into the gorge, and therefore the whole of the river god has gone into the aortt, for the Grummitty gold is not found down the rtver, being very dark and easily dis tinguishable. This of itself shows that the gorge is likely to prove »» enormously rich as Some of the claims at Deep Creek in the first Wakanurina rush. Dtjnbmn, December 28. An extraordinary fatality occurred at South Dunedin yesterday. A number of boys were engaged in flying * kite when a lad of twelve named Fiddis, son of a painter, trod on the kite of another boy named Foggarty, aged abcnt thirteen. Foggarty struck him a blow, knocking him down. Fiddis died very shortly afterwards. Foggarty has been arrested. It appears that Fiddis and Foggarty ex changed two or three blows. Fiddis was knocked down, but got up only to again go down, tailing on his face. He never recovered consciousness. Foggarty nas been released on bail. , M Dunedin, December 29. Foggarty was before the Police Court to-day, and was formally remanded til to-morrow. An inquest on deceased wil be held this afternoon.

The Dublin Dynamite Outrage.

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION

London, December 27. A man, named Kevans, has been arrested at Neoagh, in Tipperary, on a charge ©f being concerned in the dyna mite outrage in Dublin. Meetings which have been held throughout Ireland have carried re solutions denouncing the dynamite outrage. Mr Gladstone's official residence is surrounded by police.

A. Walking Advertise ment.

An interesting feature in regard to the way dressmakers c&rry on their business, was brought to light by a case tried in a Paris Court early in November. The creditors of the well-known Madame Rodriquez, now bankrupt, sued Madame Malvena Bracht for 6800 francs, the cost of elaborate toilettes made for her by Madame Redriquez. Madame Malvena act up the defence that the dresses were supplied gratis that she might advertise the maker by displaying them in public. Evidence was given by well-known actresses that Madame Rodriquez had begged them to have costumes made on similar terms. Several srentlemen gave evidence as to the figure Madame Malvena cub in her fashionable plumage. The Court nonsuited the plaintiffs, on the ground that Madame Malvena had been only a walking advertisement for Madame Rbdriquez,

This morning a deputation of parents of the children attending the Normal School at Christchurch, waited on the Minister for Education, complaining of the system of management of the school, and pointing out several alleged breaches of the Education Act. They also said it was the wish of the parents to have an elected committee for the school. The Minister promised to enquire into the complaints. An Auckland telegram states a well known land agent, 1. G. Ewington, in a letter to the "Press" declares that the progress of the country districts which he recently visited about Auckland is phenomenal. He also states that the tide of commercial affairs has turned ; that real estate is not such a drug in the market; that there are 75 per cent fewer vacant houses to let than there were two years ago: that sound and safe investments are more easily obtained ; that immense quantities of land have been put into cultivation, and that good times have come. The "Waimate Times" says:-At 'the Wesleyan Sunday School last Lord's Day Mr Percy Foweracre, formerly one of the scholars, exhibited a model of " The Taber» nacle in the Wilderness," made by himself. The work was carried out on the scale of an inch to the foot, so that the original as made by Moses was just twelve times larger than the model, which gave those present a very vivid idea of that sacred tent. The Scriptural instructions had been followed out as closely as possible, and the building up of the structure before the gaze of the audience, together with the explanation of the various symbols, was most instructive, and likely to be long remembered. The same model was recently shown at the Oamaru Wesley Mutual Improvement Society. Messrs Colemane and Sons' Eucalypt Extract (manufactured at Mittagong and Cootamundra, New South Wales) has attained a reputation as a specific for affec tions of the chest, lungs, consumptions asthma, -diphtheria, and a variety of other complaints. It numbers among its patrons Earl Jersey, the present, and Lord Carring ton, late, Governor of New South Wales, while in Great Britain during the influenza epedimic scarcely a house or office was with out it. Messrs Colemane and Sons' whole sale depot is in Ctiri&tehurch. Sharland and Co. are wholesale agents for the Worth Island

Lost in the Bush.

One of Dunedin's oldest inhabitants, who is still hale and hearty, has owned one of the corner sections in the city ever since the first sale of town land took place, soon after the foundation of the settlement. The original price was only £12 10s, but it is now worth at least £50,000. When the diggings rush took place a Melbourne merchant wanted to buy the section, and offered him £1000 for it. This seemed at the time a fabulous sum to the owner, who, however did not want to sell, " Gae awa' wi' ye mon" he said to the tempter, "ye canna have come by your money honestly or ye wadna be sac free wi' yer thousands."— Extract from the " Bulletin," June 28, 1890. liende reader, the above paragraph is rep ly instructive. You all have heard of the man who swopped his land in Collins Street, Melbourne, for a bottle of rum, because his land was " too far in the bush." Most of you know men ; who to day are wealthy through their foresight in buying land and holding in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, etc. After having read the above just think for a moment, does it not strike you that now is the time for you to buy land at Perth, the capital city of Western Aus tralia, " the coming colony." It is now scarcely 18 months since responsible Government was granted, and the "Cinderella" of the ground has taken her position beside her sister colonies and will prove a formidable rival, Business and villa sites may be purchased in Perth from £5 5s per lot, payable 10s monthly, no interest charged. Title, clear cer tificate. Plans and full particulars from P. Callighan, junr., 134 Swanson-street, corner of Little Collins ttreet, Melbourne. N.B.—Every lot is guaranteed high, well drained, free from any defects, and per fect building land.
