MINING NEWS.

COKOMANDEL.

FRQM THE " COKOMANDEIi MAIL."

Nothino very startling has taken place in tho mines lately. In most of the mines the work is of a progressive character j the managers are endeavouring to develop the reefs either at lower level or pick up gold beyond the late workings. So far this has not been very successful, but there is considerable encouragement, and we feel pretty confident that successful results will follow in more than one mine before long.

Queen of England.— This is one of the claims we expect to see come to the front very shortly. The prospects obtained in the winze sunk are excellent; in fact, the reef has all the characteristics of the Success reef, and the show is oven better than it was in that claim in its early days. The manager is now putting in a drive which will cut the reef about 80 feet deep, and should it result as expected the mine will pay at once. Royal Oak.—The above remarks apply to a very large extent to this mine._ _ The upper levels have yielded large quantities of the precious metal, and now it has been tapped several hundred feet below, showing a little gold, the manager is very sanguine of being able to obtain a patch. The stone coming to hand is first-class, and has every appearance of being rich in the precious metal, and no doubt when it is better opened up it will turn out well. Tokatea.—The main drive to cut the big reef is dragging its slow length along ; the ground is still very hard, but every week is bringing the contractors nearer the desired haven. We trust sincerely they will get gold, or at least sufficient to induce the com pany to thoroughly test its value, as in this case a very small percentage would pay well and would be of incalculable value to Coromandel.

Kapanoa.—The manager is evidently de termined to thoroughly test the value of the quartz in this mine and has put on a largo number of miners to break out a quantity of stuff. If he i 8 only fortunate enough to come upon a rich patch of gold it will have a material effect on the future of the mine.

Matawai.—The manager is steadily open, ing up the mine. By the time the road is fit for traffic he will be in a position to keep the battery going. There is an enormous quantity of stuff now on hand ready for the mill.. The drive north is going on very slowly, ground very hard, and has not yet reached the supposed shot of gold. Matawai, No. 2.—The manager has not yet succeeded in picking up anything pay able. He has a fine reef in hand, from which he can obtain.good prospects. Vizabd.—Getting first-class gold in stuff from little leader, and will be having a nice crushing before long. As soon as the road is finished they will also try a parcel from the big reef.

Makiebel.—The manager is getting out a lot of stuff from several parta of the mine, gold showing pretty freely, and he is very sanguine it will pay well.

Homewabd Bound.—The tributers, Gale and party, have had a nice little crushing of 28 ozs. from the small leader, but a parcel put through from the big reef did not turn out so well, barely payable.

Union Beacii. — The manager reports getting a very nice reef in the intermediate level on the Green Harp leader. No visible gold has been seen at present, but good prospects can be got in the dish. There ia no particular change in any other part of the mine.

SUSPECTED MURDER.

Brutal Outrage at South Melbourne,

Melbourne, May 26. A woman, whose nama is unknown, was found lying dead in a swamp at the back of the Trades Hotel, South Melbourne. From marks on the body, the case appears to be one of murder, and this suspicion is confirmed by traces of a straggle which took place close to where the body was found. Later.—The woman's body waa dis covered in the main drain which crosses the Sandridgo Road close to the Castlemaine Brewery, near to which the crime was com mitted. Not many yards from the spot where the body was found the ground was soaked by the recent rains, and bears un mistakable signs of a violent struggle having taken place. 'SCesterday the footprints of several persons were plainly visible round a place where the body of a woman had been pressed against the soft earth, and here was found a woman's hat, and near by a portion of feminine apparel and a pocket-handker chief. The detectives were early on tho scene, and the black trackers were sent for to examine the footprints, which are very numerous; and lead in all directions. The body, which bore no special marks of violence except in one part, was that of a middle-aged, stoutly built, strong, healthy woman, whose features are familiar to some of the South Melbourne police,but they are unacquainted with her name. A female re sembling the deceased, and supposed to be identical, was seen in the company of four or five half-drunk young fellows on Saturday night close to the spot where the outrage took place. Three of these larrikins have been since arrested for insulting behaviour, but there is no evidence, so far, to connect them with the more serious crime which has created a great sensation in South Melbourne.

RELIGION GONE MAD.

Disgraoeful Salvationist D*monatr»U*n at Adelaide.

An Aslnino Exhibition-" Hallelujah

Oalloys."

Thx Salvation Army at Adelaide appear* to be taking leave of its senses. A monster demonstration which was held the other day in Hindmarsh, a suburb of Adelaide, was characterised by disgraceful blasphemy and buffoonery. The procession was hsadtd by a bra*» band, and about thirty coryphees dancing and playing tambourines. In front of these rod* "Captain* Gore, who joined the main body at tie Gas works Hotel. He was mounted on a donkey, in imitation of Christ's en try into Jerusalem, and he wore a scarlet tunic anfl cap. At a signal from the crowd bo touched the ass with a whip, with the intention of making it go; but the ass objected, and a large congregation of larri kins, who were in the immediate vicinity, began to yell and deride the wretched creature. The ass persisted in its refusal to go, and about forty or fifty of the people who surround&d Gore attempted to push it. In the confusion which followed, Gore was n«arly thrown upon his head, and tho animal, having become frantic, attempted to force a passage,for itself through the crowd, and vainly endeavoured to jerk Gore off. After further difficulty the ani mal's obstinacy was overcome, and the pro cession proceeded a considerable distance to Brompton Park. There the ass abso lutely refused to go' any further. A ring was made from among the hoodlum and rough element, which formed the majority of the procession, and Gore, singing a bloodthirsty hymn, attempted to ride into it. As the animal declined to go, Gore dismounted, and the crowd lifted it lup by main force and carried it into the ring. Gore remounted, and then began an acrobatic performance on its back, amid the chants and hallelujahs of the soldiers. As the ass refused to be a participator in this ludicrous proceeding. Gore, amid cries of "Amen" and "Praise the Lord," seated himself with his back to the donkey's head, and grasped madly at its tail, in order to keep his position. He got nearly half killed for his trouble. Gore varied the pro cecdings by sitting on the donkey side ways, and was again thrown. The crowd by this time had reached over 1,000 persons, and became quite hilarious at the ineffectual attempts at the captain to re tain his seat. The unfortunate ass was now discarded, and the crowd moved off to a vacant piece of ground, where another ring was formed. The proceedings which en sued were on a par with what had preceded, and at times were of a disgusting charac ter. They consisted chiefly of ,what were termed "Hallelujah gallops," in the shape of jumping and dancing to tho strains of a band and the tinkling of tambourines, while others, arrayed in imitation of niggers in a minstrel performance, danced a number of jigs to the strains of several concertinas. This was followed by a "Hallelujah merry go-round," of the lowest musio hall type. A decrepid drum and a thing described as a flag were placed in the centre of a ring, and the male and female soldiers danced round it, throwing their arms and legs about in a manner which called forth expressions of disgust. This disgraceful orgie terminated with what was billed as a " Praia* the Lord corroboree," which, consisted of the hideous clashing together of a number of

musical instruments and a dance afte* the -manner of a blaokfellows' enter tainment. After this cama the ordinar* collections and tea and public meet* ings, in the Army's own barracks in Bowden. The press this morning proteßt in the strongest terms against this horrible painful travesty of religion, the like of whicli has never been ceen in Adelaide, or, indeed throughout the whole of Australia. Ade' laid* at the present time is overrun with these religious maniacs. '

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE.

Home Lessons for School Children.

At the usual meeting of the Auckland branch of the New Zealand Educational Institute held at the Wellesley-street School last evening, Mr Worthington presided. The paper on " Proposed Amendments to the Education Act," by Mr B. Bailey, wag generally approved, and opinions were ex pressed that printed copies should be for warded to members of the House of Representatives, Legislative Council, Chair men of Committees, etc. Mr H. Worthing ton then read an interesting paper on "Home Work." He said there were various opinions hold among per sons as to the desirability of giving home lessons, but the teacher could not permit any parent to dictate to him in the matter. In fact, the writer uaed this expression, " While the teacher exercises that, discretion and judgment must be the law of the school in Home lessons as in every thing else." To the first standard he would give no home lessons at all; to the second, third, and fourth standards only those of a simple character, and on work which had been thoroughly learned in Bchool. There should be no puzzling element in it,' To higher standards the work could be of a more advanced character, because it might be given to those that are better able to bear it physically and mentally. Messrs Harri -Bon, Bailey, Mason, and Hoskina took part in the discussion which followed, anil generally approvon of the expressions used.—Mr Harrison announced that at the next meeting he would read a paper on " Corporal Punishment," in which he pro poses to consider the various forma of punishment adopted in the public schools. —Mr Worthington stated that in the early part of next month the .annual meeting of. the Institute would be held, for the purpose of receiving statements of accounts, electing officers for 1884 and 1885, and to elect dele gates to represent Auckland at the Confer ence of School Teachers to bo. hold hero lit June next.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Harbour Board and the Ferry Company.

(To the Editor.)

Sib, —Re your paragraph in last night's paper on the conveyance of horses on the North Shore ferry boat*, I am pleased to see th« members of the Harbour Board now see the absurdity of their action in practically restricting the time for carrying hersea to and from the North Shore to about one hour in every fortnight, and hope there is yet time to remedy the evil, other wise it will cause great inconvenience to the whole district from the North Head to the Wade, as with. thesft restrictions neither a business man nor settler can buy or sell a horse outside the district with any chance of getting the animal to or from the North Shore wjthin a reasonable time. The Ferry Company hava conveyed horses upon the hurricane decks of their boats—not upon the bridges; the boats trading to the North Shore have no bridges—at such times as the tide will suit for many years past without a single acci dent to either passengers or horse | therefore such stringent measures as the Board . have imposed are quite uncalled for, and the Board's allega tion that it ii for the safety of the public is strangely at variance with their r.ction in refusing to allow the Company t« erect bar ricades on the wharves at holiday times, when the .necessity for such has been proved time after time, and no longer ago than the 24th May. In America the ferry services have been brought to perfection, and there they not only carry horses at all hours, but they are enabled to drive right on . board, horses, and vehicles together, to say nothing of carrying railway train filled with passen gers. Our ferry service is not yet equal to this, but if the Harbour Board would give increased facilities (instead of placing ob stacles in their way on every occasion as at r present), I have no doubt the Ferry Com-, pany, who have displayed considerable. enterprise, would respond, and in a few, years the service would equal any in the, world, as it now does excel any in iho colonies.—-I am, etc., Devonpoet.

'; ' Dear Sirs,—l beg to acquaint you of a marvel lous cure following cm the use of St. Jacobs Oil, which has taken place in my own family. lam a poor man with eight children, and for years have been a great sufferer from sciatica. My. wife was advised to try St. Jacobs Oil. She procured a bottle, and Ihave been using it of late with good results, but it is of my eldest daughter, 13 years of age, that I wish to tell you. She retired one night, about 4lnonths ago; in her usual good health, but the next morning she could not speak. I thought it was cold, and applied the usual remedies, without effect. My wife took her to Inverell to see Dr -^—, 'who said that it was not a cold, but that her throat was ulcerated low down, and he prescribed cod liver oil and other medicines, and also advised her to inhale the fumes of Stockholm tar, say-, ing she might never recover her speech again. At the expiration of a fortnight, the medicine having been finished, another visit to the Dr. was made, who again prescribed for her, but told my wife he had no hope of her over being able to speak again. We began to despair, but the day I used the oil—about three months after she was taken ill—l persuaded my wife, after we had retired, to use the oil. She got up and gave the girl two drops in water, and rubbed it on het throat. Next morning we were delighted to find that she could talk as well as ever, and has been able to d o so ever since. I remain, gentlemen, gratefully yours. JAS. R. HATCHER, j £100 Reward. , ' £100.—A cash reward of one hundred pounds will be paid by tbe CharlOß A.
