Fortunately, however, the owner ran out at the mooieut, or the building would, in all probability, have caught fire and been destroyed.

Mining News.

Success Gold-Mining Co. (Limited),— Mine manager's report : —" I have to inform you that since my last report I have still continued the level into the hill. The ground is hard, which prevents me from getting ahead so last as 1 would like to do. 'ihe reet has made into solid stone about four inches in thickness, and looks well, carrying a little gold about it. I have not teen any as yet iv the solid stone, but, judging from appearances, I hope by next report to be able to send you better news. — Pkthk Keid. Coromandel, August Jf>, 1880."

The usual indications for gutting gold are now plentiful. New reef: The works going on here have not been profitable lately, but the present appearance shews a decided im proveineat.

This pre paratory work occupied something more than a week. After the above named preparations we commenced' to put in a drive tor the purpose of inter secting the lode which had been discovered in the old level. lam happy in being able to report to you that I huve succeeded in making the desired connection after having driven a distance of 56 feet, and with favourable prospects. This work has occu pied- a considerably longer time than I had anticipated, owing in the first" place to the careful timbering required, especially under the road which crosses over the drive, and in the second place, to the unexpectedly hard nature of the ground. Now that I have succeeded in cutting the lode, I hope in my next report to give you some good news. TOKATKA. -The manager reports the contractor having driven 17 for the week. Old Caledonian, G.M., Co. —The work of stripping the lode in the south face of the No, 3 level is being continued, the quartz taken out being hard and highly mineralised. It is yielding at the rate of about 5 dwts. per ton. From this level a rise has been started to meet 'the winze. The ground in the cross-cat has turned out very hard, and the crushing from the No. 2 lode has resulted very Poorly. The winze is down 180 feet from the No. 2 level. KrauNui Him.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—Mr Kdgcr accuses the Auckland teachers of being the authors of "larrikin- Mm," aud when one of that body feels in sulted and expresses the fact, Mr E. calls his abuse by another namo—fair criticism— and the writer's just indignation "pettish ness or conceit, or both.'' Well, Sir, if what I took for abuse was only fair criticism —and I leave the public to judge—l will plead guilty to the childish disorder. But, for conceit, commend me to Mr J^sjer above fill men ! From liis up-lifted station he hurls books at one in a rather offensive manner, to say the least, and his egotism in the latter part of his letter, talcen in con nexion with his cool manner of measuring the morals of the colonists, will go far to prove that he in inflated beyond recovery. A few scattered leaves have been gathered, and luckily I have found the context to Mr Edgar's quotation from Professor Bain. Hero it is : "Whoever is able to maintain the order and discipline necessary to merely intellectual or knowledge teaching, will leave upon the minds of his pupils genuine moral impressions, without even proposing that as an end." Iv another place : '■ Morality is imbibed from innumerable sources, and the school does uot even rank as one of the chief." Professor Bain admits the necessity of corporal punishment. But, Sir, this question cannot be settled by a reference to books; it ia an established axiom in school management that he who would demonstrate a theory must descend to the arena of the public school, and it does not appear that Mr Edger has ever sii descended. The merits of corporal punishment are those :1. The certainty ot being punished for specified acts of wrong doing does render such acts less liable to bo committed just as the certainty of being burned will debar v child from playiug with lire. 2. Corporal punishment arrests the attention to the misdeed for which the child has been punished. These are the solid advantages. Speaking from my own experience I do not think that corporal punishment injures the morals of a child. Children up to the age of eleven or twelve are necessarily under some form of despotic government, siuce their reasoning faculties are undeveloped, and corporal punishment is only one of the instruments of such a government. Granted, that to forcibly koep a pupil iv the path of duty is not so good as to entice him so to remain by moral suasion alone, we must suppose that moral suasion is sufficient, and with the usually available instruments at com mand, Mr Edger will say, '' Leave all those who are not amenable to moral suasion to the 'discipline of consequences,'" i.e., let them suffer the consequences of their own misdeeds. But picking up another leaf of Bain I read: "Children have to be pro tected from the consequences of many of their acts." And this is true; you must employ force. Mr Edg_or's philosophy would not meet the requirements of the Education Act.—l am, &c.,

NGARUAWAHIA.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) We havo been for a long time suffering from ;i most in tolerable nuisance in our township, which a little consideration on the part of the railway authorities could easily remove.. Ou the arrival of the train here ami during the time it remains (about a quarter of an hour), our township is literally cut in two, and persons wishing to get across the dividing line formed by the •»oods or cattle trucks, can only do so by making a long detour or clambering through the trucks at the imminent risk of life and limb. The train extends in an1 unbroken line right across the main street, and the lock is completed by an impassible embankment and cattle stop at one side of the street, and a fenced, but almost unused, Government allotment on the other. Now, by throwing open this allotment for a road, and putting in a raised platform, a fine clear space would be available ou both sides of the carriages, and the public could pass across or round without difficulty or danger, and the ex pense would be almost nil, as the Town Board would cheerfully undertake the task of forming the road. To make the present state of affairs more danger oils, the children are always coming out of school just as the train is in, and only the other day two little ones were actually seen to crawl across under the truck, the guard's starting whistle actually blowing as they passed under. It is fearful to think what the result would have been had the train started as promptly to the whistle as usual. The greater number of the children belong to the lower part of the town, and such hair-breadth escapes as this are almost of daily occurrence. Surely the authorities will not close their eyes to a work ta be done so cheaply and simply, and the necessity which is clear as daylight to any man with a grain of com moo sense who visits the town. One thing is certain;, that as surely as certain causes produce certain results, that if the course 1 have indicated is not adopted, we shall one day have a shocking accident to chronicle, and then let those whose neglect of a plain precaution bas caused the tragedy solve their consciences as they may.

How an lowa Father Facilitates

Business.

(From the St. Louis "Republican.") There is no foolishness about some of the fathers of Dubuque County, lowa, who have marriageable daughters, and they know how to precipitate business when the f rait is ripe for plucking, and hangs, wasting its sweetness, when it should be plucked. Matters were brought to a climax with a rnsh at a certain farmer's residence in Ver non Township recently. A young tiller of the soil had for months been paying most assiduous attentions to one ot his daughters, but be was such a bashful, modest chap, never having been much in the company of girls, except this one, that he had never been able to raise his courage sufficiently high to pop the question. He bad gone to the house in which the lady -lived at least on twenty different occasions,' r&3olvcd to Jiis fate • but, ■when ushered into the presence of the fair one, in whose keeping he had placed his hoart, his courage would invariably "go back on him," and he would return to his lonely room in a greater suspense than before. Upon the evening in question he had determined that, come what would, he j would tell his Mary that he loved her. lie would once for all decide the matter, but, as Upon each former occasion, he could not get the proposal further than hia throat. There it stuck, and he determined to gulp it down and gave up the siege, when the lloor opened and in walked the girl's father, who advanced to where they were sitting, and thus addressed them : "I came out to put a stop to this foolish ness. It ain't courtin' expenses I'm lookin' at, for coal is cheap and wood can be had for'the hauling, but I'm sick and tired of this billin' and cooin' like a pair of aick drives, keepin' me awake of nights, and it's got to be stopped right here. Do you love John Henry well enough to marry him ?" " Why, father, I—l—you must " "Stop that foolishin'," yelled the old man. "Answer yes or no, and quick, too. It's got to be settled now or never." "Well—but, father, don't you know—if you'll only wait, and " "Dry lip; answer yes or no. Speak I', roared the old man. - ■ '

" Well/Jthen, yes I There now !" and Mary again hid Her face. "That's business: that's the way to talk. Now, John, look here—look up here, or I'll shake you all to pieces. Do you want that gal o' mine for a wife? Speak out like a morir** ' '■ "Why, Mr -r~ ain't this rather a-I mean can't yovi-r-—" . -" V » "Speak it out, or oat of this house you'l go heitd foremost. I won't .wait a minute longer. There's the gal, and there ain't, a likelier gal iti the State, an' you just heard her Bay that.ahe wanted you. Now, John, I won't stand a bit of foolin'. Unce for all, yes or no J" "Well, yes, sir, .1 have, been presump tuous enough to hope that I " . "Oh, stop your soft talk; the thing is settled now. You two fools'would have been six months more at the job that I have done iii iivo minutes. I never saw such foolin' as there is among young people now adays. Ain't like when I was young—an' now,'good night. You can talk the thing over, an' you an' me, John, '11 go up to town ah'get the license to-morrow. Soon be time to get to ploughin1; no time for love making then. Good night, good night;- I hope I wasn't too rough, bat I was de'tprmihe'd'to fix the the thing oneway or t'other $',' and ne'went back' to bed. Now that the ice was hroken, the young people laid all their plans for the future, and John ielt just a little bad at the com fort he had lost, when Mary looked up at him shyly and said : " This wouldhave heen all right months ago, John, if ypthaSni't been so skeery. I khbwe'd all the time that you wanted to ask me, but it wasn't my place to say anything, you know/'. >"•■") U;fi,n WQJii

SUPREME COURT.-In Banco.

This Day.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Richmond.) Re J. M. French, a debtor.—Applica tion for discharge. The application was made by Mr Thome, and as one of the affi davits was missing the order -was granted Bubject to its being filed. Subsequently Mr Thome returned to Court with the re quired document. " Kk Katterns and Shepherd, debtors. —Mr E. Cooper applied under the 184 th section of the Act for the discharge of his clients from bankruptcy. —Granted. Ke Thomas Hknry Stoddard, a deb tor.—The creditors had recommended the discharge, and it was accordingly granted. —Mr Tyler appeared in support of the ap plication. JBANKRUPTCY PRACTICE. Re John Waddington Graves, deed of arrangement.—Mr Theo. Cooper applied for an order declaring the deed completely executed, which His Honor duly granted. Re Charles Alex. Martin. Deed of arrangement. - Mr George appeared for the trustee, under the deed, and Mr Theo. Cooper for the opposing creditors. The latter, in announcing the name of his clieuts, explaiued that the grouud of oppo sition was not in respect of any improper conduct on the part of the arranging debtor, nor iv respect of the deed as a deed, but simply to the maunerin which the meeting of creditors was held. The meeting should have been held in the Supreme Courthouse, and the deed should have been produced at the said meotiug. The opposition came be fore the Court in order that the practice might be settled as the matter was one of importance. There was certainly no impu tation of improper conduct.—Mr George said that although it had been customary to hold meetings of creditors ia the Supreme Courthouse, yet it not infrequently hap pened that the meeting took place at the solicitor's office.—With re gard to the other objection, he might say that, although the deed was not produced at the meeting, a copy of it was.— Mr Cooper remarked, that although he was opposing the practice adopted by his friend, |it was only in order that His Honor's dictum upon it might be obtained, as there was much diversity of opinion upon the poiut. Personally, he would be pleased to have the decision given against his conten tion.—The matter having been argued, His Honor said :—1 think I must give an affirm ative answer. I see no reason in the Act nor in the rules why the meeting should not be held in the solicitor's office. Reasons of policy might be suggested, but there is upthiug in the rules to forbid it. I do uot see auytliing to prohibit the meetings from being held in the office of the solicitor, or, indeed, in any solicitor's office. On the other point, I think it enough that a copy of the^eed should be produced, but, of course, if it could be shewn that that copy varied in any way from the original, that would be an effectivo ground of opposition, and might disentitle the arranging debtor to an application for an order. Even if the!meet iug were held here, I do not see that there is any power to summon the Registrar or Deputy Registrar to produce the deed from the lilea of the Court. The best course in all cases is to secure an honest copy of the deed. Therefore, if these are the only grounds for refusing this order I shall grant it. I declare the deed completoly executed. ~DIIKW V. ABBOTT. Motion for rule to dismiss action.-»Mr E. Hesketh appeared for the defendant and in support of the motion, and Mr McKcchnie on behalf of the plaintiff appeared to oppose it (instructed by Mr Brock). —Mr Hesketh argued that as the last step in the action was taken on the Bth of June, the two months allowed by the rules for taking the next step, viz., to settle the issues, had elapsed. Hence bis motion. —Mr McKechnie contended that the defen dant had no ground upon which to make his motion ; that the application was premature, and not warranted by any of the rules. The learned gen tleman then proceeded to shew that the tardy execution of certain formali ties by the defendant had deprived the plaintiff of taking advantage of the two months following the Bth June, a week's delay having been necessitated by the want of promptitude referred to. —His Honor said that lie was of opinion that the application was proper, inasmuch as it appeared to him that the two months' grace specified in the rules expired on the 12th inst. The fallacy ou the other side was that the settlement of issues was the next step, whereas it was the making of tie appointment with the Registrar. He would therefore order that the"plaintiff should make, within fourteen days, au appointment with the Registrar for the settlement of the issues, otherwise the action would be dismissed. Mr He3 keih's application for costs was allowed en the understanding that they are first to be taxed iv the ordinary course. PREECE V. DUNBAR AND CASHMORE. Motion for rule to dismiss action. —Mr Theo. Cooper appeared for the defendants, aud in support of the motion. There was no opposition, and His Honor therefore ordered that the plaintiff should deliver the issues to the defendant within fourteen days, otherwise the action stands dismissed with costs.

Brioham v. Chambers and Others.— The Registrar announced that Mr Tyler (plaintiffs solicitor) had stated to him. his intention not to proceed further with this matter, and that therefore he would not take advantage of the leave given him to appeal. Walker and Greenwood v. Johnson. Argument on demurrer. Mr Theo. Cooper applied for the defendant, and Mr ,K. Hesketh for the plaintiffs.—The argument was heard at a previous sitting in banco, and in pursuance of an arrangement made on that occasion Mr Cooper was now allowed to reply.—When the learnedlgentleman had concluded His Honor said he would take further time to consider his decision.

Buktt v. Earl (Argument on demurrer.) Mr E. Hesketh intimated that this case had been adjourned by consent to the nextsitting of the Court in Banco.

JUSTLY PUNISHED FOR STEALING AN UMBRELLA.

(From the " Detroit Free Press.")

About noon, yesterday, when the rain fell fastest, he appeared on Woodward avenue under an old umbrella, worth the price of its ribs.

At the hall, he placed the old r.iiu stieltcr in a doorway, and took position in another not far away. In about two minutes, along came a citizen with his left eye watching for just such a chance, and he clutched that umbrella with a chuckle of the deepest satisfaction.

He didn't wait around there for the owner to appear, and he didn't care a copper whether it belonged to a sister of charity or an overgrown bondholder. As he started on, the grim man followed.

The umbrella-hooker had a walk of half a mile to reach his residence, and the grim man was close at his heck all the way. As the citizen halted at the gate, the other detained him, and quietly remarked : " I want you to do me a favour." " Ah, yes—l never give anything to tramps." " 1 want you to take that umbrella back to the doorway from which you stole it i"

"This umbrella? Why, is this yours?" " It is, and you must take it back !" '.' Well, you see, I couldn't do that, but I guess it has been worth a quarter to me." '■ Will you take it back?" asked the iron jaw man. " Why, no. What's the old thing worth, anyhow I" "One hundred dollars."

"Say, I don't want any quarrel with you, observed the citizen." " Take your um brella and a couple of dollars." "No, sir." "Say three." ." JNo, sir.'1 "Say'five." " The price," said the grim man, " will he one hundred straight dollars, and jou must take the umbrella back. If I stand here five minutes longer, I shall charge one dol lar per minute !" The citizen headed for down town. He was too mad to raise the old umbrella, but carried it under his arm, while the grim man kept cbse behind him. When the doorway had been reached and the umbrella replaced, the citizen was about to turn away, but the other placed a hand on his revolver, and said : "Stranger, you are a good walker, and you have performed your share of the con tract to my satisfaction." " In the future, it will be well for you to buy your umbrellas in the regular way, or take your walks between Bhowers. You cau now finish your excursion."

It is asserted that Dr Affenburg has cured a woman who hod beon severely bitten by a mad dog, and who showed uanristake able symptoms of hydrophobia. He injected curare (wooralie poison) under the skin, to the amount of three grains within five hours. The curare counteracted the effect of the poison producing the hydrophobic sym toms, but threatened to cause death by paralysis of the heart and respiratory organs. Artificial respiration, however, kept up vital action until the crisis was ■ over.

Double Poisoning in Wellington.

A Married Man and His Paramour Tako Strychnine-

[BY TELEGRAPH.]

WELLINGTON, this day. A SHOCKING tragedy has taken place this morning, and is now the general topic of

conversation.

A man, named Matthew llendewon, an accountant, was arrested and charged at the Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday' with larceny as a bailee and embezzlement in Christchurch. He was remanded and admitted to bail.

He was stopping at the Empire Hotel with a handsome yonne; woman, and both appeared at breakfast this morning. They afterwards retired to their room, and some time later it was discovered that both Henderson and his paramour had taken strychnine. Henderson is dead, but there arc hopes of saving the life of the young woman. It turns out that they had gone to the Registrar's office and got married yesterday, although Henderson is a married man with a wife and tour children in Christchurch.

The expos 6 caused by the arrest no doubt led to the terrible act consummated thia

morning.

Tho case against Henderson was called on this morning at the Resident Mag istrate's Court in ignorance of what had occurred, and a warrant was issued for the the apprehension of the man who had not surrendered to his bail.

Ova detective going to tho Empire Hotel at noon to arrest Henderson for the olfences at Christchurch the door was found to be locked. On breaking in the door he found Henderson ana the young lady, whoso name is Blight (supposed to be the daughter of a stonemason in Christchurch), lying on t,he bed apparently dead. He ascertained that they had taken strychnine. Emetics were at once applied, but without avail in the case of Henderson, who died in a few minutes.

The lady is still alive, but in a critical condition.

SUDDEN DEATH IN CHANCERY. LANE.—INQUEST.

AN iuqucat on the body of John Miller was held this afternoon at the Auckland Hotel, before Dr Philson, Coronor, and a jury. Mr Cnalmcrs, foreman. Sergeant Gamble conducted on the part of the police. Mary Vestie, widow of Samel Vestie, de posed that she resided in William-street, Chancery Lane. Had known deccasek 33 year?. He was a labouring man and pen sioner from the GthKegiment of theline. He had Is a day pension. Ho was born in 1807. He was 73. Had been a widower fourteen years. Had. been lodging with witness ever since. Was generally steady in his habits. Was a hearty cater. During the last two months he had been troubled with a cough. Got medicine from Dr. Hooper at the Dispensary. His general occupation was a shrimp seller. He could do no hard work. Ho has a stepson, named Sutcliffe; no children of his own. Had no other] relative in the colony. Last saw him at 6 o'clock last evening. He was sitting on his bed. Ofl'ered him soup, but he would not take it. Saw him more. He had, previously to going to bed, borrowed a shilling of her. He waa quite sober. The. shilling was found in his pocket when dead. Was not aware of him going out after six. His clothes were on when his body was discovered. Her son, Daniel, lodged in the house, he came in at ten o'clock, heard no noise during the night, but did not sleip soundly, and heard the clock strike every hour. About seven o'clock she got up and dressed. On passing Miller's room she saw him on his knees by his bedside with his head on the floor, his right. hand stretched upwards on the bed, which was not disturbed. He had evidently not been in bed at all. She called " Miller, Miller," but as there was no answer, she thought he was dead, and called her son. As soon, as he came he felt his hand, and said "Mother, he is dead." Levi Watts was passing at the time. She called him in, and moved him, but to no purpose He went for the police, and Constable Rist came across at once. He was subject to fits. Had one yesterday. She believed he died in a fit. Deceased was twice married. Was a Lan cashire man. Left no property. Daniel Vestie deposed that he wis the son of last witness, and was a labourer. Was 30 years of age. Had known deceased 18 years. The remainder of the evidence of this witness was simply corroborative. Dr. Aickin was rifcxt examined, and de posed that he did not know deceased. Had examined, the body; found no marks of violence. He appeared to have suffered from a congestion of the right lung. The features were not livid ; no froth at the mouth. Did not think he died from suffo cation. Death must have been passive and quiet. He could not say that he died of apoplexy, but should say he died_ of congestion of the lungs, which was sufficient to have caused death, considering the man's advanced age. To the Coroner: He did not say from excessive drinking. Had he made a post mortem examination be could have spoke with more certainty. Constable James Rist gave evidence as to being called and iiudiug the man dead. The jury found a verdict of " Death from natural causes."

MOUNT ALBERT WESLEYAN SUNDAY-SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.

The eleventh anniversary of the above school was celebrated laat evening. The new Wesleyan Church was crammed to excess. The trays were sumptuously weighted with tempting viands, and bouquets of flowers were arranged tastefully along the tables, and added to the pleasantness of the scene. The trays were given by the ladies of the district. After the tables were removed the chairman—the Rev. H. K. pewsbury- began the proceedings by ask ing the choir to sing one of Sankey's sacred songs, and called upon the Key. Thomas Buddie to engage in prayer. Then, in a few brief, but well-chosen remarks, the chairman introduced the superintendent, Mr Garlick, who read a most interesting report of the doings of the schooJ, show ing the progress it had made. The scholars, he said, had been blessed, the teacheis had been encouraged, the library had been greatly increased, and a new organ added' to meet the wantaofthoderotioiial exercises. Mr Garlick then gave some of his own ex perience as chief officer of the school, offering some valuable suggestions for the future working of the institution, The Key. Thomas Buddie was called upon, .md spoke most earnestly upon the relationship of the parents to the school. Mr Buddie was very practical in his re marks, urging tho parents to give proper, co operation to the teachers in the training of their children. The home was the place that first gave the impression for good or evil. It home training was neglected, then but poor results would follow the teaching on the Sabbath. He introduced some suitable anecdotes to illustrate his state ments. The address made a good impres sion upon the audience. Mr Beaumont also addressed the meet inc. Mr Fry in a speech upon music, &c, most aptly set forth the claims of church music, showing its effect upon congregations. He also, on behalf of the congregation and school, pre sented Miss Monk with two beautifully bound volumes ; one was] Tennyson's songs set to music by choice composers, and the other was "Keble's Christian Year." Mr Phillipps, junr., responded on behalf, oftke recipient, thanking them for their, kind gift. Mr Stevenson was happy in an address upon "The Duties and Responsi bilities of Teachers." He gave in a speech of about 15 minutes excellent advice to teachers and others, which, if carried into practice, would be fruitful in good for the future. Mr Slade'a address on " Refrastory Boys" was calculated to impress all who heard him. He urged kindness as the great prescription to amend, refractory youth, and illustrated from his own ex perience Jthe power of kindness upon himself in winning him from evil. He said kindness could do what nothing else could, while harshness broke the spirit and aided all that was naturally wrong in the hearts of the boys. He gave examples of unwise teaching—teachers who used harsh ness, defeated their own object. Miss Hirst and Mis 3 Moi.k sang some songs during the evening. A vote of thanks to the chniiraan, choir, and speakers was proposed by Mr Ewinpton, and seconded by Mr Allen. Carried by acclamation. Finally the benediction was pronounced, and the meeting terminated.
