DUNEDIN.

(From OHr own Correspondent.) This day. A Girl Punished "Wrongfully.

There is much excitement at Queenstown at the disclosures in the case of a carpenter named Smith, charged with committing a serious theft some months ago. A girl named Sloan was sentenced to a month's imprison ment for stealing articles from Powell's hotel, where she was employed. She declared her innocence, and there was a scene when she was sentenced. A petition in her favor had the effect of shortening her sentence, her flWeetheart driving her from gaol to church. When Smith was arrested, there was found :pa his possession the very articles for stealing which Sloan was convicted; so he pleaded and said he deserved any punishment *Mie court could inflict. He was sentenced to "a year's imprisonment. Goldfield. Much gold is being got at the Shotover through the lowness of the river. The report next month is expected to be larger than for years. A Shameful Case. The death of Henderson, of Balclutha, mail driver atthe Invercargill hospital, causes much excitement. The following'particulars were elicited at the inquest:—He was admitted to the Hospital on Sunday morning, suffering from inflammation of the lungs. The regular visiting medical officer was unwell on that day, and no other medical man was called in. On Monday the Hospital surgeon saw the patient, and prescribed. Next day he became delirious, and was removed to the Lunatic Asylum adjoining. Early on Wednesday morning he got away from the wards with only a shirt and drawers on, and was found about eight o'clock two and a-half miles from town. The weather was boisterous cold and wet. On being taken back to the hospital, it appears he was put into a cell without fire, and, becoming delirious, his hands were tied to the bunk. Some time afterwards Maitland, one of the Hospital Committee, called to see him, and on entering the cell found him dead, although the attendants of the Hospital were not aware of it.

The further statement that the Savings Bank acd annuities money has been made away with and cannot be re placed, is so extravagant an untruth as to need no refutation. Mr. Rees can know nothing of the disposition of these special funds or he could not hazard such a state ment. Neither can it serve his own purpose beyond that of the fleeting hour. It may have induced the meeting to accord a vote of thanks to him, but the deception will soon be found out, and he wiil then justly suffer in public estimation."

Grey and Dr. Pollen. The Lyttelton Times this morning publishes correspondence between the Provincial and General Governments about capitation, &c , and the Ohinemuri business. In a leader referring to Dr. Pollen's conduct, he is said to have displayed an astonishing amount of ignorance for a Colonial Secretary. In sum ming up, the Times says of the General Government ;— "We find a lamentable want of punctuality in the despatch of public busine-s, and ignorance without parallel, and a negligence without the shadow of justifica tion. On the other hand we have a Superin tendent well acquainted with the wants of the people over whom he presides, anxious to serve their iuterests, and thwarted in his endeavours by the gross incapacity of the central authorities, and this is the central authority which purposes to take over the management of these very affairs in all the provinces of New Zealand." This day. Stones on the Railway. The practice of placing stones on the rails of ths Oxford branch railway has been very prevalent of late. On Saturday the engine driver saw a boy about 12 years old deliberately place a large stone on the rails as the train was approaching. The driver stopped the train in time chased the boy, caught him, and gave him into custody. The entries for the midwinter agricultural show on Thursday next are 166 against 170 last year.

CURIOUS NOTES ON TEMPERANCE AGITATION IN CALIFORNIA.

Mr W. E. Turner gave a capital lecture on the temperance movement in America at Hamilton. His speech ia fully reported in the Waikato Times. We make the following extract from its excellent report:—"Temper ance had now made such strides m California that a drinking man was regarded as a du reputable man. A street-tramway Company in San Francisco, of which he was a director, employed from 600 to 800 men regularly, and every one was a temperance man. To be a drunkard in California was to be out of employment, but to be a temperance man was the stepping stone to trust and responsibility. Ladies of the highest rank and social posi tion were not ashamed to take a prominent part in the movement. He had-seen 6,000 women in procession in Oakland, following a temperance banner and singing temperance songs daring an election ; and > when the elec tion campaign throughout California closed, tpmperance men had won 63 contests out of 81 against the "whisky men, a result which astonished both sides. At Oakland the "whisky men hired a hundred ruffians to endeavour to drive away the women. There was a little red beaded girl about three feet nothing high, named Sally Hart. She knew what drunken ness meant. Her father was a drunkard,

* tod- drove Sally but into the street*.'" She was adopted by some benevolent people and well educated, and she became one of the leaders in the temperance reform movement Wherever a crowd of drunkards could be found in Oakland, there was Sally Hart in the midst of them. One day a burly Dutch man, who had been persuaded that Sally was trying to stop his whisky, came up to her and said "You go away Sally. You want to sthop mine vhisky." He was about to put out his hand to drag her away, when she put her hand into her pocket and drew out a little revolver, which she pointed at him, saying, "If you touch me, 1 wiil shoot you dead." The big Dutchman staggered back and said, "Go away, Sally, go away, I don't want any thing to do with you." The hundred hired ruffians got a stuffed effigy of Sally which they buried three feet under the giound, and they stuck an empty barrel over the grave. Then some of the temperance men dared them to defend that barrel, and they accepted the challenge. But three ladies went up, and in defiance of the men rolled away the barrel. The ruffians knocked down some tents, and injured several old women, and then marched through the streets, carrying banners. But the tempe rance men punished them, and many of the hundred were seen sprawling about the gutters. (Mr ; Turner was frequently interrupted by an inebriated and disorderly person in the audience.) He said that was evidence that the devil was getting mad. When he got into that state he was easily beaten. Is was only the whisky working. Once at a meet ing in America he was similarly interrupted by hissing. He asked if there was a black smith present. A man got up and said he was one. He (the lecturer) asked that blacksmith If he knew why red hot iron hissed when suddenly plunged into cold water. The blacksmith said it Was because of the sudden change of temperature. Then he (Mr. Turner) said that was exactly the same case. The person who interrupted him had reddened his nose and heated himself with whisk}', and when he came to the temperance meeting it was just like a piece of red-hot iron suddenly plunged into cold water. (Great laughter."

THE MINERS' RIGHTS INQUIRY.

Major Kebdkll and Inspector Thomson, A.C., we learn, returned to town from the Thames district on Saturday night,, the Governor's special commission as alleged fraudulent procural of Miners' Rights at the opening of Ohinemuri having expired on the 10th instant. We understand that the evidence obtained at Ohinemuri and other places by the above-named officers in the course of their enquiries into the irregularities in question has been forwarded to Welling ton ; but, we presume, will not be made pub lic unless (on the application of some Honor able Member) the Government should decdie to lay it on the table of the House of Repre sentatives.

Brutal Assault in Queen-street.

A brutal assault was committed in Queen street this afternoon, near the Thames Hotel. 4. man named Patrick Ryan, who seems to have been wandering about with intent to strike some one, came up to an inoffensive man named Edwards, who was standing at the corner, and struck him on the head. Edwards turned round to see his assailant when Ryan again struck out, hitting Ed wards a fearful blow on the eye, at once closing that organ. Ryan is said to have been concerned in the row with the police on Saturday night, but managed to keep from coming into actual collision with the constables. The escape he then had, while his associates, no more guilty than he was, suffered, should have been a warning to him ; but it appears not to have been so. A brutal and unprovoked assault such as this one is said to have been, should be visited with the utmost severity permitted by the law.

At the annual meeting of the Maiigare rate payers the auditors refused to pass the accounts in consequence of the item £48 15s, legal expenses incurred in the case of Walmsley v. K. Wallace, damages for deten tion of cattle. The item was struck off the books by the meeting, thus throw ing it a debt on the trustees. The accounts were then passed. Receipts: £427 10s Sd ; the expenditure left a balance of £48 15s 9d ip. hand. Mr Andrews hoped the ratepayers would make some effort to lighten the trustees of their burden in the Wallace - Walmsley case. The meeting resolved that a voluntary subscription equal to a penny per acre be raised for the purpose. A rate of 6d per £ on the annual value to let was levied, the annual value being fixed at 10s per acre. —Messrs H. Hardington, H. N. Vercoe, J. Johns, W. Paul, and 'J. W.
