ANOTHER OSPREY ON RECORD.

(BT TBLBaRAPH—OWN COKBKSPONDKNT.)

Dunedin, this day. .Relating to the question of a vessel named the Oaprey having ever visited Australia from Great Britain, we are favoured with the following extraot from the diary of J. H. Harris, written on board the barque Poictierß, from London to New Zealand, in 1850. Typhus fever had broken out among the steerage passengers, and the ship's doctor (Coward) contracted tho fever during attendance upon them. His life was despaired of for several days, and Captain Beale, of the Poictierg, was very anxious to speak any vessel met with in order to obtain medical assistance for them. ' The following is the abstract of the diary: "Friday, March 15.—Very hot indeed. The doctor is very ill; scarcely, expected to live. Thermometer, 96 degrees in cabin; wind, N.E. Saturday, 16. Rather cooler. Doctor no better. Spoke the Liverpool ship Osprey to see if she had a medical man on board, which she had not. Passed her again to leeward. about suneet. The thermometer 74 in cabin ; latitude, 19 degrees N. B." Poictiers owned by Dun can, Dunbar,

The people of floly Trinity Church, Otahuhu, are bestirring themselves to have their pretty little church improved. A concert iii to be given by the Glee Club of St. Sepulchre's parish at Otahuhy on, Friday next,-the 28th mß^;., and the proceed* are to Igo towards painting the church, The even, ing should be moonlight, and there are to be readings and recitations by gentlemen amateurs, in addition to the musical por tion of the programme, so that a most successful concert is anticipated. It is hoped that the proceeds of the concert will shortly bo supplemented sufficiently from other sources to enable the interior of the church to be painted as well as tho exterior. This church is one of the most striking objects to the eye of a traveller approaching Otahuhu either by rail or road, and when painted and renovated should look very picturesque, situated as it is in grounds nicely planted with trees. At present, however, it is sadly in need of painting, and the concert should be well supported by all in the district who desire to have public worship conducted inra decent and comfortable building. -_-"

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

A meeting of the Board of Education was held on Friday afternoon. Present: Messrs Luke (Chairman), Moat, Moss, Carr, Goldio, and Professor Aldis.

Girls' Hum School.—Several applies tions were received for the Head-mastership of this school. Professor Aldis considered that the names of applicants should not be published, only the names of those who" may be selected from the whole.

On the motion of the Chairman, it was determined that the Board go into Committee at their next sitting, and consider the testimonials and applications. Training College—The appointment o£ a Principal to the Training College was postponed until next week, when a motion received from Professor Tucker by tele gram from Waiwora will be considered viz., "That on the 2Sth inst. the Principal of the Training College be invited to retain his appointment, subject to the same' con ditions as those on which he accepted it."••■-, Inspector's Report.—A report was re ceived from Mr O'Sullivan re writing in schools.—The report, on the motion of Mr Carr, was ordered to be sent to the City- Schools Committee, and, on the motion of the Chairman, that the full report be con sidered this day fortnight.—The appoint ment of a governor to the Whangarei High School was postponed until next week/.

The question of his removal, however,* was deferred until the receipt of further infor mation from the district.

New Zealand would seem to be the, cradle . of a number of gambling games, Buch ca "Bmut," &c.; which she supplies, textile' other colonies. The intricacies of, a he-w game were explained .in the City Police-; Court, Melbourne, the other day, duriig the hearing of a charge against. Jamrs - Sewell in connection with a gun trick gan « on, the Melbourne' Cup day. Detective I Lomax told the Bench that he watchieUa Urge crowd looking on at this game, which is h peculiar one. A small space was.railed off. In this stood a disc upright on a pole. The disc was divided "iljtp:' 26 equal spaces, converging to. ,a ppjiit in the middle. Each space bore a Tetter ' from "A" to "Z," but not in; regular order. The disc was revolved by _ a band from » little steam engine, and ho quickly that it looked like only one blur, although the. spaces were painted in variegated' colours. Twenty-six largo tin tickets, -each inscribed with a letter, were sold at Is each.' One of the purchasers then fired a pin from a gun at the disc, and whatever lettered division the pin struck, the holder, of. tha corresponding letter won the pool, minus. 6s | for the entrepreneur. Mr Kane urged'that . the game is quite fair. Sewell recently - arrived from Now Zealand, after having performed on all the racecourses, there. !Tho l Bench, however, sent him to gaol for » month. ? rS ■-■'•■ •: : -
