A young lady from Melbourne named Miss Williams was killed while inspecting the Imperial mine at Buninyong. In company with the danghter of the manager, Miss Chapman, she was lowered by what is teohnically known as a horso whip. A couple of seoonda after the backet had left the month of the shaft Miss Williams' dress caught in one of the knockers, and in endeavouring to release the gown, she lost her balance, and, stumbling, overturned the buoket, and both ladieß were thrown. The mishap proved fatal to Miss Williams, for she was precipitated down the shaft a dopth of 100 ft, and was subsequently picked up dead, with her neck dislocated and her arm and shoulder broken and frightfully mutilated. Miss Chapman almost escaped without injury, for, fortunately, she in her fall caught hold of a ladder in the shaft, and, with great presence of mind, clang to one of the rungs until help arrived. Mrs. Aldis, wife of Professor Aldis, of Anokland, has written to the New Zealand Herald, strongly protesting against the aotion of the University Senate ia regard to retaining the works of Terenoe for the B.A. examination. Another lady, Mrs. Kelsey. writes to the same journal as follows :— "I was very glad to see Mrs. Aldis'a letter in the Herald of this morning, on the subject of the objectionable books decided to be retained by the University Senate for the pass examination of B.A. These works of Terenoe have been condemned by leading men in Christchurch and other cities as ' filthy,' Ac. It is surely a hopeful sign that there are those who are still agitating this matter, and it is most devoutly to be wished that all such efforts may be sueoewful in having purer works substituted. It does seem a piece of wanton wickedness on the part of the authorities in forcing such books upon the students. All honour. I say, to those who would rather give up all hope of passing than familiarise their minds with bucli polluting influence. If my children oonld gain de?recß in no other way than by studying moh works, then I would let the honours go, oounting them too dearly won at snoh a price." A prominent military officer in Kingston, Canada, has received a letter informing him that there are 3500 Fenians at Buffalo drilling with a view of making a raid on Canada. Meesrß. J. H.
