THATCHER, THE INIMITABLE.
Nature, a high-class scientific journal, published m England, has a very eulogistic obituary notice of the late Mr. Charles Robert Thatcher, who'will be well remembered as a vocalist on the Australian diggings and through New Zealand. After refering to his discovery of an entirely new genus of shell, which Mr. G. F. Angas named '•Thatcher mirabilis," the notice concludes—"There is no greater loss to conchological science than this gentleman's death, as he was undoubtedly the most successful collector of his day." It. appears from this that Mr. Thatcher was something more than a mere rhymester.
