Good Luck.—An old resident of Castlemaine has recently returned from New Zealand, and had the good fortune to bring with him no less than thirty-six pound weight of gold. The most of it was obtained under great deprivation and suffering at Cardrona Creek. In journeying towards the Shotover, gold was seen sticking in the earth of the above creek. Of course the tin dish was immediately in requisition, and the result so gratifying that our townsman and his mate determined to remain. At one time they were reduced to four biscuits, but fortunately they fell in with a wild sheep, and succeeded in killing it with stones. While travelling they scratched away the snow, and built up walls of stone, on which they pitched their tent to cover them during the night. The severity of their sufferings have left traces that will require great care and time to obliterate. Another party, recently returned from the Shotover, brought with them many thousand pounds worth of gold. They averaged for some time 150 ozs. of gold per day—-a pleasant sequel to eighteen months of doubt and hard work.— M. A. Mail, June 23. A cart stuck in the mire of Dee-street nearly opposite the Prince of Wales, on Tuesday last. It was dragged from its somewhat forlorn position by the novel expedient of tying a rope to the horse's foreleg, and pulling 4 the same forcibly, thus inducing the animal to make several violent plunges, which had the effect first of a complete boulversement, and then of extrication.—lnvercarfjill Times, June 10.
