INQUEST.—THIS DAY.

An inquest was held this morning at the Lunatic Asylum, before Dr Goldsboro', and a jury of twelee gentlemen, on the body of an old man named Wiliiam Yates, who died suddenly on the night of Saturday last. Mr Albert Griffiths was chosen foreman. Mr Timothy Lowrie, the first witness, deposed that he was chief keeper of the Asylum, and knew the deceased who was fuvt admitted on the second of November, 1867. He was subsequently in March, IS7I, re moved to the Old Men's Home, and was re admitted to the Asylum in March 1873. He was an inoffensive, and harmless lunatic, and from Mai gradually sunk, until the night cv ~* - third of May, when he died Mr Lowrie believed that the cause of death was general debility and old age. Every at tention had been paid to deceased. Witness had known him from the year 1858.

Mr Henry Hardy, warder of the Asylum, deposed that deceased was under his charge, and from the time of his re-admittance he grew weaker ; he was never violent ; he was sent back from the Old Men's Home in con sequence of his wandering away from the Home. He was supplied with wine, milk, and everything that Dr. Aitken prescribed j but nothing seemed to do him good ; within the last few days he was unable to swallow food ; he died on Saturday evening at half past ten. Dr Thomas Aickin, Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland and resident physician of the Lunatic Asylum, deposed that deceased's death wr.s caused by diar rhoea. He should think the deceased was about seventy years of age. The jury returned the verdict, "Died from natural causes."

GREEN HARP GOLD MINING COM PANY.

A KEETING of the shareholders in the Green Harp Gold Mining Company was convened to be held to-day for the purpose of taking into consideration the formation of a new company and taking over the mine and plant. The property of the company was sold some time ago for debt, and became the property of Mr Bennett. Mr Wardrop purchased from that gentleman, and was willing to transfer the ground to the original share holders upon the formation of a new company to work it. For this purpose the meeting to-day was called. Mr Dv Moulin occupied the chair.

The chairman announced the object of the meeting.

After some discussion it was carried on the motion of Mr Sommerville seconded by Mr Saunclerc; —That Messrs Dv Moulin, Bennett Cosgrave and Williamson, be appointed a committee to take over the mine and plant to hold in trust for the shareholders, and in the meantime to confer with the Coromandel Beach and Venus Companies as to terms of amalgamation, and thereafter to call a meet ing of the Green Harp Company and submit proposals of amalgamation for the purpose of forming a company, comprising the Green Harp, Coromandel Beach, and Venus claims.

THE EVENING BTAK, TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1873.



An ingenious individual, rejoicing in the name of Samuel Wood, whose affections had. been blighted, by the coldness of a lady who presides at the bar of a Grahamstown hotel, hit upon the bright expedient of threatening to drown himself in order to demonstrate his deep devotion and. touch the affections of the fair siren. He penned the missive and left it with a Parawain store keeper for delivery. The note ran thus : —"By the time this reaches you I shall be no more. My body will be found in the Kauwaeranga Creek, are the cause." What was his astonishment when, instead of receiving a dainty note from his flame yielding up her heart, he was waited upon by a six-foot policeman. The truth was, the note had miscarried. The lady he had left it with, prompted by the proverbial curiosity of her sex, peeped in, and being alarmed at the contents forwarded it to Sub-Inspector Bullen, and hence the unexpected denoue ment. The gentleman assured the police that it was only a ruse, and he bad no intention of making away with himcelf. He was, therefore, permitted to follow his own sweet will, and to meditate upon the proverb that the best laid sch mes of men and mice" are liable to miscarry. W. Mai shall, fruiterer, Queen-street, hri just received, per Nebraska, a shipment of new Leason American Pea Nuts, the nutiltive and stimulating properties of which are now universally acknowledged. When fresh roasted these nuts act as an excellent tonic, and can be indulged in with impunity. —[Advt.] Coffee.—Brown, Barrett and Cos. Standard Coffee is both delicious and strong. Brown, Barrett and Co.'s Excelsior Coffee deserves preference to any coffee on account of purity and disL:uctne:.s of flavour. Note the brands. Sold at almost every grocery establishment in town and province.—[Advt.]
