DUNEDIN. 2nd December.
A cako nf gold, weighing 5180z., has been obtained from 328 lous of stone from tho Cromwell Quartz Mining Company's claim. Sir Juliu3 Vogel, in acknowledging tho receipt of a copy of the New Zealand Anthem, writes to Mr. Woods, its composer:—" I think the idea is excellent of associating our colony in the minds of children being educated in this country with a pleasing mebdy they can never forget, and the remembrance of which will bring before them Britain beyond .the seas." * An inquest was held at tho Taieri to-day on the body of a man named John fc'cannel, found dead under mysterious circumstance?. The result of the inquiry went to show that death was caused by exposure while under tho influence of drink, and by asphyxia caused by tightness of the shirt collar.
