James Hicks was charged with the larceny of a bottle of whiskey valued 5s 6d, the property of Mary Coyle, yesterday. Prisoner pleaded guilty.

Mrs Coyle returned in time to see him going out of the door, and she gave information to the police. Sentenced to 14 days imprisonment with hard labour.

Arthur Baldwin, a youth, was charged with the larceny of a silver watch, guard, and locket, value £7, the property of Robert Fountain.

Mr Pardy said the prisoner had admitted having committed the offence, and ho would ask that the value of the property be reduced to £5, in order that the case might be summarily dealt with. The alteration was accordingly made. Mr Pardy stated that prisoner had lodged in the same boarding-house as prosecutor, and while there he appropriated the pro perty in question. He was a new arrival. Sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. FAILING TO CONTRIBUTE. William Roberti was charged with fail ing to contribute towards the support of his child in the Industrial School. Prisoner admitted owing the sum of £10 10s.

In .assenting to the remand, Mr Sub-Inspec tor Pardy stated that the police were deter mined to put a stop to this practice of gambling in public-houses. He considered the ruin of a portion o£ our young men was to be attributed to this cause, and therefore the offenders in every instance would be prosecuted. APPLICATION. A man named Murphy applied for the release of his child from the Industrial School. It appeared, however, that the lad had been committed in consequence of having been implicated in a larceny case, and not for being a neglected child.

LOVING A WHOLE FAMILY.

(From the "Detroit Free Press.") " I DON'T want to make any trouble, but there is one man in this city who ought to be gibbeted !" began a blunt-spoken woman of forty-five as she stood before the officials of the Twentieth Street Station a day or two agWhen they inquired for particulars she handed out a letter and said : "Observe the envelope. That letter is addressed to me. You will see that the writer calls me his jessamine, and he wants me to set an early day for the wedding. " When the captain had finished the letter she was ready with another, adding : " And this is addressed to my daughter Lucretia. You will see that he cal s her his rosy angel, and he says he can. t live it she doesn't marry him. Its the same man." , . , 80 it was, and his letter was as tender as spring chicken. Thatfinishod, she handed out a third, with the remark: "This is directed to ray daughter Helen. It's the very same man, and in it he calls her his pansy, and he says he dreams of her. " Why, be seemed to love tho whole family," remarked the captain. " That's just it. I'm a widow with two daughters, and he was courting us all at once and engaged to the three of us at tne same time. Oh ! what wretches there are in this world."

" Yes, indeed. It's lucky you found'him out."

"Yes,'it is. If I hadn't he might have married the whole caboodle of us. It Lucre tia hadn't opened one of my letters, and if I hadn't searched the girls' pockets while they were asleep we'd have thought him au in nocent lamb."

" And do you want him arrested ?" " No, I guess not. But I want this mat ter to go into the papers as a warning to other women. Just think of his sitting up with me Sunday night, Lucretia on Wed nesday night, and Helen on Friday night, and calling each one of us his climbing rose! Uh ! sir, the women ought to know what a deceiving animal man is 1" " Yes, he's pretty tough." " It has learned mo a lesson," she said as she was ready to go. " The next man'that comes sparking around my house has got to come right out and say which he's after. If it's the girls I won't say nothing, and if it's mo it won't do 'ema bit of good to slam things around and twit me of burying two husbands 1"

Melancholy Accident.

GORED BY A COW.

A most unusual and painful occurrence happened at Penrose this morning. Mr Hall, a cooper, resident in that district, went into his paddock this morning 'to remove a calf from his cow, when ho was savagely attacked by the latter animal. Hall is a very old man—about 70 years of age, and he was knocked dowa by the first rush of tho cow, which then trampled on him and at tempted to gore him. He was perfectly help less to protect himself from tho savage attack. A neighbour who had observed tho occur rence at once ran to the assistance of the uufortuuato man. Ho had considerable difficulty in driving off tho infuriated cow, but at last succeeded. Hall was carried into his house adjacent, and Dr Scottscnt for to Onehunga. On examination of the in jured man, the doctor said that several ribs had been broken and had perforated tho lungs, from which air was escaping. Ho held out no hope of recovery.

Sergeant Greene, on hearing of the acci dent, went out at once to take a statement of the circumstances attending it.

A Marvellous Marksman.

WONDERFUL EXHIBITION OF SKILL

BEFORE ROYALTY,

BERLIN, June 20. The well-known American marksman, Dr William F. Carver, is exciting much in terest here. Iv England the Prince of Wales and the nobility attended his exhibi tions. The Prince gave him valuable presents, including a scarf pin and a costly belt. In Paris his feats were witnessed by thousands. The man who could put a rifle ball through the centre of a silver quarter as it spun through the air, and who could break glass balls with a-bullet almost as fast as a mail could hurl them at him, was one to please the Parisians. The men praised him, and the women, attracted by tho romance of his early life among the Indians, and by his maulineas and modesty, showered him with attentions. Pictures representing him in hunting costumes were sold everywhere, and while he remained in Paris ho was all the rage.

In Germany he has been received with even greater favour. Honors havo been heaped upon him on all sides, royalty itself coming forward to do homage to his skill. After Dr. Carver had won all the lcadiog prizes in several contest?, and had given exhibitions of his rifle-shooting on foot and horseback, and had shown his skill with the lasso, the Emperor William nsked him to give an exhibition before the court. He did so on Sunday, June 13. The Imperial family and many of the nobility were pre sent. The programmes were printed on white satin, a foot long and six inches wide. They were headed: Schless—Probe vor Seiner Majestat dem Deutchen Kaiser yon Dr. Wm. F. Carver, " Champion Rifle Shot of the World." Auf Allerhocsten Befhi im Neve Palais bel Pots dam, am Sonnabend den 13 Junl, 1880. The Emperor was delighted with the Doctor's display of skill, and eagerly watched each shot. On the next day an Adjutant bore to the marksman an elegant diamond ring. It was inscribed :

" From His Majesty the Emperor of Germany to Dr. Willia:n F. Carver, June 15th, 1880."

Within a few days the Crown Prince sent Dr. Carver word that the Crown Princess desired to see another exhibition of his skill on horseback. The Prince added that she had been very melancholy of late and the shooting seemed to arouse her. He hoped that Dr. Carver would oblige him. The Doctor took the train for Potsdam yester day. The royal carriage was waiting for him at the dep6t. Servants took charge of his guns and his horse Muldoon, a gift from the Prince of Wales. The exhibition was given on a grassy lawn. A dozen chairs were brought out for the Crown Princess and attending ladies, and the Crown Prince and gentlemen took positions behind them. The Crown Princess is a short, fat woman, about 40 years old. She had a round, red face, and nice, white teeth. She wore a black and gray plaid cambric suit, a black chip bonnet, and dark gloves. She was very pleasant, and freely conversed with Dr. Carver. The doctor's wife accompanied him. Sho is a sister of Lawyer Hugh Dailoy, of New Haven. Their" courtship was romantic. Mrs Carver's brother, John Dailey, was a San Francisco stock broker. When Dr. Carver left the plains and began to give exhibitions of his marvellous skill, he went to San Francisco. John Dailey befriended him. Dailey was afterwards shot and killed by a street loafer. His body was taken to New Haven and placed in the family burial plot. When Dr. Carver came East, a year or two later, ho went to New Haven to procure Winchester rifles for fancy shooting. He visited the grave of his friend. John Dailey. As he approached it he saw a young lady planting flowers on the grave. She was the sister of his friend. They entered into conversation, and, before he had discovered her relation ship to his dead friend, he had fallen in love with her. They were married within a year, and she accompanied him to Europe. While shooting before the Crown Princess the doctor wore a short velvet jacket. A wide-brimmed white sombrero shaded his eyes from the sun. His wife wore a similar jacket and hat. The hat was adorned with a long plume. White satin programmes were used, with the following heading : Snicss—Probe vor Sr. Kaiserlichen und KBniglichen Hoheit dem Kronprinzen dcs Deutschen Keionea yon Dr. W. F. Carver, " Champion Rifle Shot ot the World." Auf Allernochsten Befehl im Neuen Palais bei Potsdam, am Sonnabend den 19 Junl, 1880. The exhibition included shooting with rifle and shot-gun at flying and stationary objects on foot and on horseback., shooting with the bow and arrow, and throwing the lasso. It was very interesting and exciting. The Crown Prince presented Dr. Carver with a valuable scarf pin. It bore the monogram of Frederick and Victoria sur rounded with a crown. It was of rich, yellow gold, set with diamonds and rubies. The visitors breakfasted in the sitting-room of Frederick the Great. The people here are amazed at the Doc tor's skill with the rifle, and the unusual attentions that he has received from royalty has added to his prestige.

THE GRAFTON LIGHTING RATE.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Mr Aickin stated in a late issue of your paper that " There would be ten lamps in the Grafton district, many (sic) of them less than 100 yards apart." Now that the lamps are fixed and lighted, I would be glad if he would kindly point out the localities of the aforesaid lamps, "many of them less than 100 yards apart." The only two that approach are ou the Kyber Pass Eoad, and aie about 250 yards apart; the others from 400 to 600 yards from each other. Personally, I shall have to pay 12s per annum, for this wretched farthing candle business, in addition to the road rates ; and though that is not much, still, I think it too much to pay for what is not only useless to me, but absolutely an impedi ment to me whenever I undertake a little nocturnal locomotion; for I cannot see the abounding stones, puddles, or pitfalls in my way, because of the gleam of tho distant lamps in my eyes. It is aggravating to dissentients like myself to calculate how many yards of asphalting could an nually be done with the £120 yearly thrown away in gas; but the ratepayers have the consolation of knowing that they can, by a united effort, prevent any further fooling away of their money by stopping the gas supply at the next annual meeting.—l am, etc., A Dissentient.

Upon the last occasion he cilled the atten tion of two subordinate official* (Mr Day and Mr Woolfield) to his instructions. He speaks in a very loud manner, as if inten-

tionally to irritate and give offence. He used threats to the effect of keeping mo in my place, and other similar remarks. I told Mr .Offer that my instructions must come from the Mayor or Council. I res pectfully submit that such actions are calcu lated to lower my authority, and to prevent the proper attention of myself and other officials to our duties. For some time I have been very unwell, and I may state that such constant annoyance is unfair to mo, and 1 do not think is desired by the Council.—Yours, P. A. Philips, Town Clerk."

Johnstone, whose son is at present under surgical treatment for a broken arm, caused by a kick roceived last week from one of the horses referred to, while the boy was looking on at a game of football on the Park Reserve. As no provision is made in the existing by-laws for dealing with this practice of exercising horses in such places as the Albert Park, I would strongly urge the necessity for the City 'Council, at as early a date as possible, passing a special by-law to. enable a stop to be put to the dangerous practice in question, as at pre sent, as you are aware, the police are powerless to proventjthe same.—l have, &c., J.

Cemktkry Reserve. —The plan, with particulars of the proposed cemetery at Woodside, Stokes' Point, was received from Mr Hammond, with tho names of gentle men willing to co-operato iv carrying out the samo.

Heroism in Hunger.

Dr. Tanner's fast lias caused a hunt among past records for other marvellous exploits of tho samo kind. Many extra ordinary ones, somo lasting over years, are recorded, but do not seem to bo well enough authenticated. Tho following stand in a different position :—lt has been observed that children and old peoplo endure depri vation of food by no means as well as adults. The fact was noted by M. Savigny ia the case of tho wreck of the frigate Medusa.

AFTER THE WTIECK,

One-huudrcd-and-fifty persons of all ages were exposed on a raft for thirteen days with hardly any food. Out of this number only fifteen survived, among them, M. Savigny and tho children. Young persons and the aged wcro the first to succumb. This Wreck occurred in 1816. M, Savigny gave, in an inaugural the-is, a very instruc tive and accurate account of tho occurrence, which is very gonerally quoted in works of physiology. Dr. Sovicke relates the case of the eight men who were shut up in a coal mine for five davfl and sixteen, hours, with but a half pound of bread, a bit of cheese and two glasses of wine, all of whom survived, but were in a very weak and dilapidated state when rescued.

Berard quotes the example of a convict who died ot starvation after sixty-three days, his only nutriment during this timo having been water.

Dr B. M. Richardson, in tho "Social Science Review and Journal of Sciences," London, has the following : " Weourselvos know an instance in which a man with a disordered mind refused all food for thirty days, and after a short return to food again refused food for thirty-six days. But in this instance, on the second occasion the sufferer died, although he had recommenced to swallow light nourishment.

Austin Flint, Jr., M.D., in his work on "Alimentation, Digestion and Absorption," published by D. Appleton and Co. in 1870, says, in the chapter devoted to inanition : "Berard also quotes from various authori ties instances of deprivation of food for periods varying from four months to sixteen years. All of these subjects were female?, and tho histories of such cases, reports of which are by no means uncommon, belong properly to psychology, as they are un doubted examples of that morbid desire to excite sympathy and interest which is sometimes observed, and which leads to the most adriot and persevering effort at decep tion."

In n foot-note, Dr. Flint fays: " From timo immemorial tho credulous have per iodically been Btartled with reports of wonderful coses in which persons (generally females) have lived for an incredible time without food. A curious specimen of these histories is the case of a girl, ten years of age, who lived without food and drink, and ia whom development,'etc., seemed to be normal. This was testified to by a learned physician in 1542." THE SMALLEST QUANTITY/ OF FOOD upon which life is known to have been supported with vigor during a prolonged period, is that on which Comaro states him self to have subsisted. This was no more than twelve ounces a day, chiefly of vegetable matter, for a period of fifty eight years. . There is only one instance on record m which his plan was followed. Fodcro mentions that some workmen were extricated alive after fourteen days' confinement in a cold, damp cavern, in which they had been buried under a ruin.

There is the well-known case of a hog which was buried in its sty for 160 days under thirty feet of the chalk of Dover cliff, and was dug out alive at the end of that time, reduced in weight from 160 pounds to 40 pounds. In a case iecorded by Dr Willan, of a young gentleman who starved himself under the influence of religious delusion, life was prolonged for sixty days, during the whole of which time no other nourishment was taken than a little orange juice. Dr. Carpenter, in his Physiology, relates a similar case, that came under his own notice, that of a young French lady who was fifteen days without any kind of food, when at last she was compelled to take nourishment. During this time she took a great deal of exercise and her strength seemed to suffer but little.

Dr. Carpenter cites another instance of prolonged abstinence from food that came under his own observation. This time it was a young lady who had suffered severely from the tetanic form of hysteria, and who was unable to take food for three weeks ; the slightest attempt to introduce a morsel of solid matter into the stomach occasioned very severe vomiting and retching, and the only nourishment that could be adminis tered was a cup of tea once or twice a day— on many days this, even, being refused. Yet the strength of the patient rather increased than diminished during this period; her muscles became firmer, and her voice more powerful, THE OTHER PICTUKE. To those who are just now wondering at l che fasting powers of Dr. Tanner it may afford interest to know the limits to which eating may be carried when great eaters try to do their best. Dr Carpenter, in his Phy. siology, has the following chapter concern cerning this subject: Of the quantity that may be devoured at a time it is scarcely the place to speak, since such feats of gluttony only demons trate the extraordinary capacity which the stomach may be made to attain by con tinued practice. Many amusing instances are related by Captain Parry in his Arctic ' Voyages. In one case, a young Esquimaux, to whom he had given,' for the sake of curiosity, his full tether, devoured in four and twenty hours no less than thirty-five pounds of various kinds of aliment, inlcading tallow candles. A case has been recently published of a Hindoo who can eat a whole sheep at a time. This probably surpasses any other instance on record. The half-bred voyageurs of Canada,' according to Captain Franklin, and the Cos sacks of Siberia, as testified by Captain Cochrane, habitually devour a quantity of animal food that would be soon fatal to > anyoneunused to; it, The former ate spoken

of as being discontented when pnt on a short allowance of eight pound* of meat a day, their usual consumption being from twelve to twenty pouuds.
