The many friends of Mr J. W. Martin, who on the 3rd inst. fell over a highfaced claim from the narrow track which led to his home at Larrikins, will regret to learn that at about eleven o’clock last night he succumbed to the injuries he had received from the fall. During the last few days it was hoped by his most intimate acquaintances, who had been to visit him at the Hokitika Hospital, that the worst was over, as his outward bodily wounds were healing up ; and although his medical attendant was aware that his internal injuries were of a very severe nature, yet the naturally quiet and uncomplaining patient would not let the worst be known, and after lingering, no doubt in great pain, for a fortnight and a day, he expired last night. Deceased was a very old colonist, and one of the first miners to make his way to the West Coast; and he was very greatly respected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. His remains are to be interred iu the Stafford Cemetery on Monday next, the funeral procession leaving the Masonic Hall, Hokitika, at 12 o’clock noon. Members of the Loyal Orange Lodge, of which deceased was a brother, are requested to attend in regalia.

The death is announced of Mnlkerji Rao Holkar, Maharajah of Indore, a Mahratta principality of Hindustan, with a population (in 1881) of 1,055,217. His predecessor Kumdl Rao Holkar dying without heirs, the East India Company assumed the right of nominating Mnlkerji Rao, who had been educated under the auspices of the British Government, and who had displayed great ability since he assumed the reins of government in 1852. On the breaking out of the mutiny in 1857, he took the field in support of the British ; yet his troops mutinied, holding their prince as a prisoner in his own palace, and butchering many Europeans, men, women, and children, in cold blood, and he was thus prevented from rendering any effective assistance.

Commander Edwin wired at 3.27 p.m. yesterday —“ Bad weather may bo expected after 12 hours from now between north-east and north and west; glass further fall, and rain.” And to-day, at 11.27 a.m.—“Bad weather is expected between north-west and west and south ; glass further fall, with very cold weather, bnt glass rise after 1G hours.” It is stated that three shocks of earthquake were felt at Sheffield, Canterbury, on Wednesday. What might have been a very serious accident (reports the Argus) happened to Mr John Courtney, waggon driver on the Crey-Kaiinara tramway, on Thursday afternoon. It appears that by some means the horses shied, and Courtney

thrown against the wheels of the vehicle, sustaining injuries to his thigh, by which he will be most likely incapacitated for some time. The Christchurch coach arrived at the usual hour this afternoon. Lovely Climes. There are lovely climes and places in which the evening zephyrs are loaded with malaria and the poison of fever and epidemics. To dwell there in health is impossible without a supply of Hop Bitters at hand. These American Co.’s Bitters impart an equalizing strength to the system, and prevent the accumulation of deadly spores of contagion. Be sure and see Malarial Fever. Malarial fevers, constipation, torpidity of the liver and kidneys, general debility, nervousness, and neuralgic ailments yield readily to this great disease conqueror, American Co.’s Hop Bitters. It repairs the ravages of disease by converting the food into rich blood, and it gives new life and vigour to the aged and infirm. See
