MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.

Mklboukne, March 4, A tragedy has been unearthed at Windsor, (a suburb of Melbourne), The decomposed body of a woman has been found under the hearth stone m an unoccupied cottage. A tool maker rented the place six weeks ago, bat never occupied it. The Windsor tragedy promises to rank amongst the sensational crimes of the colonies. The cottage was let m December, and occupied by a man and woman, who were' surrounded by a certain amount of mystery. A laundryman says the clothes of both displayed richness. The man was evi dently a foreigner. The crime was discovered by a prospective tenant visiting the house, where he detected a disagreeable odour. The hearthstone was dug up and a cement casing reached. "When broken up it disclosed the body doubled up, and the cement had to be picked away piece by piece before an examination could be made. A. deep cut was then found m the throat and a wound m the head. The detectives fix the date of the murder as Christmas Eve. Although there is no clue to the identity of fche indi viduals, it is believed, from scraps of paper that were found m the house, that they had just arrived from England.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.

TO THE KDITOK Sir —In your leading article of last night's "Guardian" you give all the credit for initiating the Ashburton swim ming baths etc.. to Messrs Hugo Fried lander and A. Harrison, whilst to my own knowledge those gentlemen had as much to do with it as the man m the moon. As a matter of fact one of them strenuously opposed the baths being m the Domain at all. To Mr Rudolph Friedlander all the credit must be given. The burgesses re turned him pledged to get a swimming bath, either m the Domain or elsewhere ; he carried out his pledges by persistently i keeping the matter before the Borough Council, with the result that the town has been provided with one of the best swim ming baths m New Zealand at a ridicu lously cheap price.—l am, etc., D. Thomas [We were m error m attributing to Mr Hugo Friedlander the active part which was taken by Mr Rudolph Friedlander, m obtaining the formation of a swimming bath.— Ed.]

The simple but effective scheme of | irrigation adopted by Mr Marmaduke Dixon I on his West Eyreton property has, so far (the " Lyttelton Times" says) proved an unqualified success. The intake has proved all tint was prophesied for it on December 29, 1891. Though the river Waimajsariri has been hi heavier floods dur ing the past season than it had been for some years past, the head race has regained uninjured. On thp contrary, the supply of water has been fully half as much' again as at first, when it was estimated that 15,000 gallons a minute were being diverted on to the plains. The fact that the water m these floods has been \ §cy muddy, of course increased the amount of silt; deposited, which has already made the land very prolific. The lucerno, clover and grasses are growing very richly m consequence, and Mr $ixpn' will be an immense gainer this season by his plucky and determined efforts, and his future gain will be very great. " Keating's Powder" destroys Bugs Fleas, Moths, Beetles, and all other insecta whilst quite harmless to domestic animals. In exterminating Beetles the success of this powder is extraordinary. It is perfectly clean m application. See the article you purchase is " Keating's," as imitations are
