Proof that the deer herds at Stewart Island are very numerous has been given recently, several score of deer having been shot by island residents and visitors. A week or two ago two young men went for a tramp from the Fresh Water River to Hellfire Bay after deer and ambergris and secured 27 deer for the trip. The little Virginian deer are multiplying very fast and are not so timid as their bigger brethren the Red Deer. The Virginian deer arc evidently at home in the water as they swim out to the little islets either for fresh food or out of curiosity.—Exchange. A Christchurch housewife bad an unenviable experience last week. She was attacked at her home by a caller, who. however, must bear a wound on his head for some little time as a reminder of the encounter. The woman answered a knock on the door and found a caller, who .stated that he bore a note from her husband telling her to give tbe man money (relates an exchange). She refused, and the man threatened to knock her down and search the house. She still refused, and the man started to put his threat into effect.. There was a struggle, but the woman managed to reach a poker, and with this defended herself. She hit the man hard over the head. The blow boat him off, and when he received a second sound crack he made off.
