[ All crt-High School pupils—and they are to l>v found in every and corner in the Province—will read the telegram in anotiier cohtmn in -cference to Mr. Pope, who for inar-y ye.-rs filled a responsible position in the High School at Dunedin, with sincere and heartfelt regret. He left Dunedin about twelve months ago to fill, as was generally

.xttpposed. a superior position in Victoria. The sad result is detailed in our telegraphic columns. The people of Dunedin deserve great ered.'t for their prompt response to the call on their sympathies- and their pockets, and we are sure that subscriptions will roll to from every part of the Province.

A telegram in our issue of yesterday iufonii'.d us that the landlord of the Royal Georgo Hotel, Dunedin, hail been stuck up and robbed. The statement of tiie landlord (Mr. \V. J'.

"What immediately followed is not stated, but the men are alleged to have assaulted and throttled the landlord, and to have taken €0 from his poi-ket. The statement of the men is that they only went into the hotel to have a game of cards, in which the landlord joined, and that they neither assaulted nor robbed him, but simply took the money ofl the t;bb\ as a sen file ensued, in which ail parties ph.id.
