Bayley, Chief Inspector of sheep for the provincial district of Otago, reports the number of sheep in Otago for the year ending September : 3o, 1875, at 3,008,348 that the shecip are entirely from scab, and generally healthy. He, however, observes a great want of attention on the part of sheepowners to the necessity of dipping their sheep for the destruction of vermin, as well as the provision for supplying their stock with feed during the winter arid early spring. From these causes, together with I over-stocking, a great loss is shstaihtdin the \ wool, and that the stock becomes enfeebled, and diseases engendered, that ordinary care and attention would avert.—We glean that the lambing this season ih this district will ■average between 80 and 90 per tent.-,-and that the clip is full.

The members were walking to the Railway Station when one of them commenced to punch his wife in the face and otherwise ill-use her. Mr O’Brien, who is well known as the Company’s lecturer, remonstrated with the poltroon for his unmanly and disgraceful conduct. The individual thereupon changed the object of his cowardly attack, and poked 'the small enil of his umbrella into Mr O’Brien’s left eye. As may readily be imagined, Mr O’Brien suffered dreadfully •from the pain. Besides fainting several times, he had a heavy fit. He was brought to town, and carefully removed to the Trines of Wales Hotel. It is as yet impossible to say whether Mr O’Brien will entirely lose the right of bis left eye.
