A boy of 11 years, named Carson, was drowned on Sunday while bathing at Oamaru. The yield of gold in Victoria last year was 640,0720i#, being 142,7990zs less than in 1885. Bret Harte has written to a friend in Auckland, staling that he contemplates an early visit to the colonies. Another unsuccessful attempt has been made to float the sunken dredge in Otago Harbour, The severe heat in New South Wales had led to destructive fires, and over 100,000 acres of eplendid grass were destroyed." An important discovery of quartz reefs has been made on the north-eastern slope of Mount Rangitoto, a few miles from Cedar Creek reefs, in the Hokitika District. The cricket match, Englishmen y. i eighteen of Bathurst, New South Wales, i finished on Saturday in a draw favourable I to the visitors.

An examination of the memorial which is beinff prepared for presentation to Messrs Hazel! and Hodgkins by the unemployed has led the secretary of Dunedin Trades and Labour League to the conclusion that it_ is the work of one man, and that the sig natures to it are not genuine. It is alleged that the executions of the four Sydney "larrikins" for the Mount Rennie outrage were carried out in a bung ling manner. The post mortem showed that only one victim had had his neck dislocated, death in the other cases super vening by slow strangulation.

Mount Eden Highway District.

The Water Supply Question,

A meeting of the residents and ratepayers of the above district was held last night in the Volley Koad School-room. The busi ness under consideration was the advis ability of obtaining a water supply. There was a large attendance, Mr R. Udy presiding. He stated that he had' waited upon the Mayor of the city with regard to receiving a supply of water from the city, but he had been informed that the matter wouldrequire to be discussed by the Council.. The Mayor stated that he saw nothing in the Act to prevent the Council from supplying the water. If the district obtained the mains and plant, the city could supply the water at Is 3d pei thousand gallons. The Chairman then submitted the following estimates:— Total lengths o£ mains,2 roods 242 chaias.divided as follows: Main road from junction of city main near Mr Puckey'a residence, 56 chains, 9 inch pipe; View Koad to Mount Koskill, 14 chains ; Mount Koskill to Prospect Terrace, 42 chains; total, 242 chains on Mount Roskill side and main streets, 166 chains Mount Eden side, 76 chains smaller pipes, for side streets 182 chains. The cost of pipes was estimated at £3,086, and a balance up to £7,500 would be expended on purchase of valves, &c, and laying the pipe track. He went on to say that there .was an ample supply at the Western Springs, as there was sufficient running to waste to meet the requirements of all-the suburbs. The estimate of cost provided for the laying on of water to every house in the prescribed district, which would be rated for the water. The average cost would be 15b per annum, allowing ten gallons per day to' each soul. After some discussion, Mr S. W. Hill moved, "That this meeting is of opinion that the district should be supplied with water, and that a poll of the ratepayers interested in this question be immediately taken to decide whether their proposed scheme shall be carried out o not." Mr Markham seconded the motion. The Chairman stated that the water would not be available until next summer under any circumstances. He pointed out that the money could be obtained from the Government under the Loans to Local Bodies Act. The requisite steps to obtain the money were explained by the Clerk of the Board. An amendment was moved by Mr H. M. Sheppard to the effect "That it ia desirable that the district join the city." The Chairman ruled this not in order, but the mover persisted in speaking on the sub ject. As there was no seconder, the amend ment lapsed. The motion was then carried unanimously. ■■

RESCUE FROM DROWNING.

A gallant rescue from drowning took place the other day at Cheltenham Beach, North Shore. It appears that) Wilfred Harbutt, a seven-year-old boy, had. taken a dive from a boat, nod knowing that he was beyond bis depth, and being unable to swim, was in danger of drowning. Other two youngsters of about the same age, who were in the boat, set up lusty cries fcr help, and in response' a youth Darned Frederick Hubbard, son of Mr Hubbard, C.E., bore down in a boat to the rescue. Meanwhile, the struggling boy in the water bad sunk twice, and young Hubbard, without waiting even to doff his coat, leapt in, and catch ing hold of him, took him safely to shore. The little boy was in a very ex hausted state from hia struggle with the watery element and Dr. Kenny, who was called in, jiidvhis escape from death was very narrow;- /(jut he has .now quite re cuvered from the effectfl of his immersion. .
