Andrew Spillard, who is reported as missing from Waikari, and supposed to have gone prospecting on the hills, ia well-known m Aahburton, where for several years he carried on the business of a cabinetmaker, and was an enthusiastic prospector of the adjacent mountains for mineral wealth. He was an old colonist, and one of the first ferrymen on the Waimakariri river. la recent years he has given much attention to prospecting the ranges for precious stones and gold. Mr Spillard's wife and family reside at Kaiapoi.

The weather which Captain Edwin greatly teared has come upon us—a day too soon, He aaid we might look out for squalls from the north between July 26 at noon and July 28 at midnight, and to-day a fine old nor'-wester of the 1878 brand was let 'oose upon us. It filled the air with all manner of things from thia morning's issue of the daily papers to the last emptied korosen* tin. It shifted fences that had become frail with age, and much used by the lounging gossip. It laid over trees with a land tenure not bo secure as an "eternal lease." It brought to earth telegraph poles along the railway line, and cut off communication with the Bouth. It sent clouds of dust and scraps of paper scudding over the town, and the leeward fence of every man's property looked as if it had been bombarded with an exhaust pipe supplied from the back yard rf a lawyer's office. It got the Domain water into a rage, and although the waves did not rise mountains high, they spread themselves tar enough over West street to be disagreeable. It cleared the streets of pedestrians, and some of the shop girls going and corning to luncheon had an experience of the nor'-wester which waa at least airy. Captain Edwin is not done with us yet though, for he includes rain m his malign prophecy. It hasn't come, but it may, probably will. Can anybody say what is the good of keeping a weather clerk who cau give us no better weather than what Captain Edwin sends us ?
