A Horrible Discovery.

(BY TELEGRAPH.)

PALMBRSTON NORTH,

(Per Press Telecram Agency.) This day. A man while looking for cattle yesterday on the south side of Manawatn River, in a dense bush saw a sailor's box lodged in the branches of a large rata tree, twenty feet from the ground.

He climbed up the tree, opened the box, and saw a human skeleton wrapped in a piece of blanket.

CUTTING UP GOOD STREETS.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) g IR) _I 'consider your remarks upon the slashing and hacking of the streets, are called for, and even had they been more severe would, not have been out of place. It is a mystery to more than yourself why streets like_ Hobson etreet should receive consideration while portions of street?, upon which there is much larger amount of traffic, are left in an un finished and dangerous state. Take, for instance, parts of Upper Queen-street Albert and Cook-streets. Jt. may be these are left because none of the council have any stake in them, or because it would necessitate the giving of some little compensation. If the latter is the cause, will delay benefit it ? I think not. Whatever the cause, they a disgrace to the city and should there fore rpceive the firft consideration, as it is our duty to see that the rates are spent on •work most required to be done. I hope you will continue to urse this upon the Council. —Yours, Ratepayer.

Chase after a Lunatic.

A STKOSG built settler, named Hu?h Turner was brought in this morning from Mercer on a charge of lunacy. On Thursday the unfortunate man vowed that some persons were dodging his steps for the purpose of murdering him- All at once he started off at full speed towards the bush. Constable limmer was informed of the cir cumstance and, accompanied by Mr Hunter, went in pursuit of Turner, and tracked him across several dangerous creeks, After twenty hours pursuit, tbe party return ed to Mercer, and found Turner at bis whare. he having got in two hours before thr-m. He was examined this morning by Dr Goldsbro and Drßayntun, who pronounced him insane. Since be has been in thp station not a word can be got out of him. He will probably be committed to th« Whau.

THE VASCO DE GAMA.

The date of sailing of the Vasco de Gama has been altesed to the 22nd inst.

A considerable amount of money and docu ments were found upon Turner, which showed that he is the owner of 400 acres of land in the Waikato, and worth nearly a thousand pounds lodged in different banks. He was committed to the Asylum, but it is expected that his insanity is of a temporary nature, and that he will shortly recover.

An association has been formed in London for the protection of gentlemen travellers in railway cars.
