The coroner's jury at Melbourne found Watson and Douglas guilty of the murder of the Frenchman, I- ugene Posset, who was beaten to death.

At Sydney, an Italian fishmonger named Auguste Carlessi, while engaged cleaning fish which his landlady had bought, shot dead a servant girl named Mary Piaggi, aged fourteen, and then committed suicide.

SAMOA.

Melbourne, May 4. The w Argus" says that while it is unnecessary to go into the difficulty between New South Wales and New Zealand, as to how Samoa is to be governed, the great thing is to bring the group under the British flag.

Burglary and Attempted Murder.

Blknheim, May 5. Considerable excitement was caused at Oullensville last night by a report that Mr James Fuller had been assaulted with a knife, and an attempt made to rob the store of Qreensvill and Co. The " Marl* borousjh Express" correspondent wires that Fuller, who is manager for the firm, sleeps in the back part of the house. He went home at 10.30, and was in the act of opening the door when he waa seiz >d hf the collar of his coat by a short stouc man, who was accompanied by a taller man, both wfrh blackened faces. One of the men said "If you call oat, you are a dead man." Fuller replied, <! What do you want V when his assailant drew a knife from his side, and made an attempt to stab Fuller in the throat. The latter tried to get away, and called loudly for assistance. The would-be robber again used the knife, and this time succeeded in inflicting a slight cut from hp to chin. Both men then made off, running down the flit, rapidly. Fuller at once gave the ahrm at the Grand National Hotel, and a number of persons set out, but the men could not be caught. Both culprits were seen running swiftly over the fhb cowards M&hakipawa. Their intention was evi dently to gag Fu'l^r, and obtain the keys of the safe in which was a considerable sum in sash and gold. The local con stable Was away on duty in Havelock. The polica are in saarch of the miscreants.

Rate Collecting.

Th' <3 " Bohemian " in the " Press " : For a conscientious and punctilious public officer commend me to the Rate Collector of the Ashburton County Council. I have, been shown the following claim for rates:— *' Messrs ——— " I hereby demand from you within fourteen days the sum of £—: —: Id for rates due by you as occupier to the Asbburton County Council. Payment is to be made at the County Council's offices, Ashbutton." Theekim is in the first place exorbitant, for the rateable value is only £2 am 1 the rate one farthing in the pound. The Col lector has therefore stuck on |d too much. But the extraordinary thing about it is that the claim •is printed on first-class paper 1 and enclosed in a first-class enve lope—at a cost of £d sterling at least, and it cost 2d through the post. Whether the ptnny is payable at the Ashburton office by occupier in person or by a sixpenny P P. 0., or a penny cheque is not sUte'L In any cage it will cost the taxpayer another twopenny stamp to send it, and the collector 2d more, plus (stationery, to send the receipt. At the lowest computation»he Ashburton Council will have to pay 5d to collect Id. Great is the wisdom of the Tite-Barnacle.

The Wellington friendly societies intend to establish a lodge dispensary. Everything is peaceful again at Paeroa" the visiting natives have left for treir own homes. Mrs Willis, the new infant mistress at the Aehburtoa School, will commence duty on Monday. Oa and after May 7 the express train for the south will take up or set down passengers at Hinds when required. The Hon. W. P. Reeves arrived in Wel lington from Auckland on Friday night, and the Premier will leave Wellington for his home next week. The Labor Bureau intends to prosecute men who give false information to the de. partment, and get employment or passages on the strength of it. The prosecution will be for obtaining money under false pretences. I The rifle match reported in our last issue was between the Ashburton Club Morris Tube Rifle Class and the Ashburton Rifles, There being a Morris tube class in con nection with the Ashburton Rifles this ex planation is necessary. Something like a small rush set in at Lyttelton on Wednesday last. The excite ment was caused by a quantity of bottled ale being found buried in the ground on the premises occupied by Messrs Hollis and Williams, builders. While some workmen were excavating for the foundation of a building, they came across a qaantity of bottled ale. It was quickly sampled and pronounced exceptionally good, and then somebody remembered that twenty-three >ears ago, at the time of the big fire in Lyttelton, the spot where the liqour was found was occupied by Messrs Dalgety and Company's bonded warehouse, which, with a large and varied stock, was burnt to the ground. The circumstances under which the liquor was found on Wednesday pointed unmistakeably to the fact that the bottles had been there ever since the fire. Those who came in for a share of the spoil voted it prime, but ' heady,' and the find proved a veritable ' staggerer' to more than one in dividual.
