The following report from tne mine manager of the Big River Company came f •> hanl la?t night :— Have>struck another block of atone above No. 3 in a place wore T was rising to get filling for the stopes undernea'h. I cannot say anything about the size or quality of it tfntil I get the rise timbered up, and more work done on the stone. He also reports the completion of the erpclion of winding engine and shed. Steam was got up on Wednesday and everything worked smooth and well. A London co-respondent, writing on October 18th says:— " The New Zealand race horses arrived by the Tainui, having been sent by Mr: Gollan, the well-known New Zealand sportsman. They have come in splendid condition, and look remarkably well. 1 hear that Mr Gollan has put the horses in training for next season, under the care of Mr Arthur Yates, Alresford, Hants, and Mr Gollan expects that next year he will be ip a position to astonish the natives and make the English horso owners sit up. The fifth horse is being L trained as a hunter s , and will probably be used by Mr Gollan in the next hunting season." \ Regulations a£e gazetted under the Public School Teacher's Incorporation and Court of Appeal iM-oflast session.

Another proof of tbeir fair dealing is to be seen in the fact that although the duty on tea has been reduced, i;hey, as the producers' have not gained the advantage, but have let the consumers! have the benefit of the reduction. Tliis is, of course, how matters should be,' but as this is an age in which everyone iis eternally trying to get the better of . else such little items as thesd are worth msntion* ing. In another column appears a list of the alterations in|price of the Empire Company's tea 3 which we may remark en passant still maintain their desert vedly high reputation for quality and unapproachable valtj'e. , Oscar "Wilde is described by a London correspondent as a model convict. He is very deft with his hands and is employed making bags of a fecJierche description. The prison fare is agreeing with him and he has lost the bloated look that distinguished the arch?priest of setheticisni, when the pet of society.
