Advices have been meived that the dispute at the Linton coal mine, near Nightcaps, Southland, has been satisfactorily settled, and that, the miners are now hack at work.

i On the |>rojK*rty of .Mr K. Maxwell, smith of Itahotu, in a live-acre paddock iji which were running six pedigree Jersey cattle belonging to Mr M. G. Maxwell, a strange occurrence took : place, presumably during the thunderj storm on Monday night ('says the “Taranaki Daily News”). The paddock is an open level grass paddock, and towards the middle of it was found on Tuesday a hole about 5 feet across, giving the appearance of having been blown out by explosives, much soil being thrown out in a south-easterly direction, some* to a distance of a chain and a half. From the edge ol the hole, extending to a distance of half a chain towards tin* south and south-east, run several peculiar branching and very irregular zigzag tracks along the surface. Each branch end terminates with a hole about the thickness of a shovel handle, all descending into the ground with an outward incline. Towards the north-west a slightly raised rib ot Girl, Pi feet long, with one hole about the middle and another at the end, indicates the track of a discharge that has passed along under the surface. The cattle were not injured. , These H.H. goods at sale prices until Saturday next: Strong denims, were 16, s C>d, now Os lid; strong tweed trousers, were 26s 6d to 32s 6d, now 20s to 21s 6d; .hoys’ shorts 8s lid to 9s lid, men’s Uyeed overcoats were 95s to 120 s, now 65s to 88s; men’s rain coats, were 105 s, now 765; superior quality band shirts, were 12s 6d, sale price 7s lid; at the N.Z.
