The Evening Star. SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1871.

"What on earth has happened to the Evening News? Q-looomy, erstwhile, as a November fog, dismal as tho wail of the wind howling through a church yard, he has become absolutely buoy ant, nay, frisky. What power has gal vanised him into supernatural life? Is this biological, mesmeric, galvanic, or < alcoholic ; or has he gotten him shares! in the Caledonian claim ? Spirig of Vogel come hither! Gaze and wonder, and then go on your way rejoicing.. Pause not in your noble -fgrj-e. Pile million upon million ; oup .hills; are all green now, the clouds --b'ave all vanished from the face of the -fey, and there is joy and gladness in the land;

Such must havo been the mental ejaculation of many a reader of yestei> day* leader in the Evening News. VVe almost.think it must have been in* tended for the Evening Stae; but iij

our most exhilarated mood, we have never dared so boldly. We should gladly reach out the hand of cordial congratulation, but that we fear our contemporary lias been hysterical, and has been laughing the wild laugh of incipient mania. Our contempo rary's exordium is as the utterance of a man awakening out of a deep sleep,-. and in which nightmare had been heavy upon him: —"It may now be considered certain that the American mail route will be established," says our contemporary ; and after a yawn, he reiterates his waking thoughts, " The San Fran cisco and Australian mail service is certain to be continued." And yet there is nothing strange in this, for it has been the conviction of all others who have not had their eyes closed in the troubled slumber of our contem porary. But then anon he is affected with the "golden dreams" of Auck land, and contemplates the prospect of " Auckland becoming the centre of steam navigation in the South Pacific." Fired at the thought, he glances scorn ful at the " Queen-street wharf, a structure very useful in its way," and tliß " breakwater obstruction," and the " Wyuyard Pier," and rising to the magnitude of the conception with which he is labouring, he dismisses them all with the contempt they deserve, saying, " Practically we are without harbour accommodation." He assumes, aud it is an assumption not strange, save for him, that " the Colonial Treasurer lias succeeded in

negotiating a contract on equitable terms with an American company," and his spirit is moved within him at theinadequateaccommodation which we have provided for the " large increase of shipping frequenting the port which the new mail service as projected j would most certainly result in." And , what are we to do in prospect of this euormoua access of shipping to our ' port? An imaginary objector urges, " Wait until the Harbour Board has been constituted." The soul of our contemporary- is -moved to wrath al such a thought. Wait, indeed ! ask tho Evening- News to wait! Nay, nay, tho objector did not know with whom he had to do. "Wait, indeed! "To this we entirely object," says our contemporary. " The ' wait-a-bit' policy has all but ruined Auckland politically; if persisted in it will ruin it commercially. There is no ' wait a-bit' in commerce. There is no chance for the community which fails to keep abreast of the times." Noble words ! noble words ! Would that our contemporary had always felt their value, or should feel them again in lucid moments. But what is the sug gested means for thus keeping " abreast of the time 3;" and what is Auckland to do in lieu, of the " wait a-bit" policy which has been our po litical and well nigh our commercial ruin? Let us hear our contemporary, for any words of ours would mar his pointed statement of the case. " Our suggestion is this : —let a requisition be presented to the Superintendent, requesting him to call a special meeting of the Provincial Council without delay, to pass an Act empowering the raising of a loan of half a million !" What ! a loan!—half a million! Ossa upon Pelion !—What! tho Evening News ! In the attitude of our bleeding coun try, prostrate-at, the foot pf Vogel's statue, we look; reproachfully., yet ten derly, and cry "Et tv Brute !" " The Auckland vote," says our contempo rary, " would no doubt be unanimous in its favour. At all events it is a matter of such vital importance to all parts of the province that we cannot conceive there would be the least op position to a bill for this purpose, if submitted to the Council." Plear this, ye people of Auckland! Hear it, ye dwellers afar off! Hearken, ye boors of Cambridge and Hamilton that dwell beneath the shadow of Tawhiao ; and you that sojourn at the Bay of Islands " be unanimous in its favour " ; it is "of vital import ance to all parts of the province." And you, the dwellers upon the bleak hill sides of Hauraki, that deke with pick and spade to bring up nuggets from the vasty deep, lend us your " unanimous " aid to pass a bill to supplement the Vogel millions with half a million of our own, to make accommodation for the ships about to crowd the Waitemata. Behold the prophet of retrenchment andjeconoiny ! But yesterday, borrowing was but national suicide; to day it is the panacea for our ills; and to-morrow we shall sing paeans to the name of Vogel, as that of the-saviour of his country. ~ . ~,; ;'ig , |

On the 11th October last I rode into Otahuhu, and. left the horse in question at Wallace's, the black smith's. Went to the Hall, where a concert was held. On returning from the concert, between 12 and 1 o'clock, I found the horse gone, and the door shut. Could not find it anywhere. On going with my father to Mata kohe, about the 24th October, to search for the horse, saw prisoner then riding the horse that had been stolen. Prisoner bolted, and we pursued him into the bush for two or three miles. My father returned to Mangere, and about a week after, the horse was restored. The saddle and bridle were also returned. Captain McKenzie brought the horse from Waipu iv. the Jessie. Would not swear that prisoner was the man seen riding the horse in the bush.—John Scott, father of last witness, corro borated the evidence of the previous witness. On arriving at Matakohe, saw the prisoner standing by the head of the stolen horse. A settler named Moulder was present. Said " Good day," and tried to catch the bridle. Prisoner leaped on the horse, and struck the spnrs into the sides of the animal, and bolted. The following day the horse was returned by a settler named Albert Shaw. The horse is now outside the Court. Tbe saddle and bridle produced were on the horse when stolen. Had inserted advertisements in the Herald aud C oss, and a settler from Whangarei told me that a horse answering the description had passed through that district. In consequence of this information, I went to Matakohe. — John Robert Lambert, a farmer residing at Matakohe, deposed : I was sworn in as special constable to arrest prisoner, on th a 22ud inst.; met prisoner in tho 'busl^ahd infonriedhim of tho charge. Prisoner said' he woulof-n'ot' go with me alive. 1 said, then you will have to come with me dead, for that I had sworn to bring.him. He. raised a.tomahawk over his head.tossi;rike.me,. dnd Ifired at.the .uplifted hand. He flung the tomahawk at my head, and knocked my hat off. With assistance I handcuffed him, and brought him to a gum digger's" whare, and he refused to walk to the township. I was obliged to lash him on a horse, and brought him to the magistrate. He

stated that four months ago he had carried the saddle to a, colored man named Freeman, and requested him to send it to Mr. Scott, at Mangere. Prisoner had lived witb! ihe at Matakohe. I have his signature as George Edward Ringlaud.f He came to me, bringing a horse, saddle and bridle ; it is tho horse now outside the Court. He said he had bought the horse. After a few weeks after retiring from the township he stated that he had an important letter from the Waipu, and had to be there before night, aud left hur riedly. Half an hour after Mr. Scott and son's friends came to my place. He had had the horse all the time he was at my place.— The prisoner made a long and circumstantial statement of his having bought the horse, and then restored him on being informed that the horse -was a stolen one.—He was committed to take his trial at the Supreme Court.

CRUSHING

GrItATIAMSTOWN,

12.30 p.m. Tina morning a landslip occurred at the Midnight claim, by which three persons have been buried alive.

A house erected on the claim wis washed down, with a man named Riley who was inside at the time. The mother and child were also in the house and were buried alive.

A man and two children escaped

The bodies of those buried have not yet been recovered. The miners are

now searching.

2.15 p.m

The Caledonian is still looking mag nificent. A further lot of very rich specimens were brought up this morn ing. Shares are very firm, and Thames have risen in proportion.

The Poverty and Charleston crushing is completed. 100 tons realised 163 ounces gold.

Ihe reports from the Alburnia are very encouragiug. The crushing is looking splendid, and some excellent stone is being taken oui.

The gold returns for the month are the highest ever produced by the field during any similar period. The total quantity of quartz crushed for the month is 8,799 tons, and the amount of gold lodged in the banks, 45,200 ozs. 11 dwts. 8 grs., being an increase on the month of February of 14,400 oza. 14 dwts. The returns show an average per ton on the whole quantity crushed during the month of 5 ozs. 2 dwts. to the ton.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

From to-day's Advertiser

The Caledonian.—A splendid com mencement towards another rich fort night's yield was made in the Caledonian mine yesterday, when seven hundred weight of enormously rich stones were brought to the surface. Some of them were of immense size. One huge block weighed over two hundredweight, and was of such a rich character as to throw the splendid block of stone exhibited last week entirely in to the shade. At n rough calculation, its value may be estimated at £3000. Many of the other blocks, al though not so large as this one, were pro portionately rich.

The Shotov|:e.—The cleaniug up and retorting, for the S^hqtover, which took place yesterday, only yielded 190 ozs. of gold, although there were about 600 tons of stuff crushed. The number of laud slips which occurred during- the two pre ceding months 4hivo had-'the effect of; preventing any continuance of the face workings. Even the stuff that has been] crushed consisted in a great measure ofjj that which was brought down by thoj landslips. A general meeting of the!

shareholders will be held on the 21st inst. for the purpose of taking into consideration tbe position of the company, and deciding with regard to future workings. It has been suggested that the shaft should be sunk another 50 feet, so as to test the reef at that depth. At the 140 feet level it only yielded 3^ dwts. to the ton, and at the 200 feet level it has averaged 7 dwls. The class of country at this level is also much better than at the former, and it is expected that it may continue to improve downwards. The company have, we understand, a good balance on hand, which will enable them to carry out these workings, should it be deemed advisable to do so.

Sir,— Ex uno disco omnes. I have not seen any medical man, far less been contradicted by one, in the presence of Mr. M. E. B. Nicholson, as stated by him in his letter to yon this evening. Of course the gemleman can be produced, and on his production I am content that the public should give credence to Mr. Nicholson's version of the matter men tioned in his letter.

After what I have already said and offered, I will not be dragged further into public con troversy, having had reason, in the person of others.to acknowledge the truth of the aphor ism by Oliver Wendell Holmes, given in the " Autocrat of the Breakfast-table " —" Contro versy equalises fools and wise men ; and the fools know it."—l am, &c,

LEGEND OF A MUSKET.

Mauk Twain tells the following story, related by a fellow-passenger, who, being bantered about his timidity, said lie had never been scared since he loaded an old Queen Anne's musket for his father once, whereupon ho gave the following :— .

" You see, the old man was trying to learn me to shoot blackbird aud beasts that tore up the young corn and such things, so that I could be of some use about the farm, because I wasn't, big enough to do much. My gun was a single-barrelled shot gun, and Ihe old man carried an old Queen Anne musket that weighed a 100, made report like a thunder-clap, and kicked like a mule. The old man wanted me to shoot the musket sometimes, but I was afraid. One day, though, T got her down, and so I look her to the hired man, and asked him how to load her, because it was out in the field. " Hiram," said he, " do jou see those marks on the stock, an X and a V, on each side of the Queen's crown ? Well, that means ten balls and five slugs—that's her load."

"But how much powder."

"Oh," he says, "it don't mntler; put in three or four handful!."

" So I loaded her up that way, and it was an awful charge. I had sense enough to see that, and started. I levelled her on a good many blackbirds; but every time I went to pull the trigger I shut my eves and winked ; I was afraid of her kick. Towards sundown I fetched up at the house, and there was the old man resting on the verandah.

" Been out hunting, have ye ?" " Yes sir," says I.

" What did you kill ?"

"Didn't kill anything, sir—didn't shoot her off —wa3 afraid she would kick—(l knew blame well she would)."

" Gimmie that gun !" the old man said as

mad as sin,

And he took aim at a sapling on the other side of the road, and I began to drop back out of danger. And the next moment I heard the earthquake, and heard the Queen Anne whirling end over end in the air, and the old man spining around on the heel with one leg up and both hands on his jaw, and the bark flying from that old sapling like there was a hail storm. The old man's shoulder was set back three inches and his jaw turned black and blue, and he had to lay up for three days. Cholera nor nothing else can scavco me the way I was scared that lime.
