Sad Intelligence. — It is with deep regret we learn, by a telegram from Napier, of the death of young Caro, a regret which will be shared by all old College boys, who knew deceased. After a most successful career at Nelson College (wbere he was a general favorite) deceased went to England to Cambridge University, where be passed his examinations brilliantly, and with high honors. He started on bis return to New Zealand, via America, but the fell destoyer overtook him, and at Michigan be was cut down by brain fever. The bereaved ones mu6t feel keenly this terrible aod sudden blow, and we feel sure they will have the warm sympathy of all Nelsonians in the hour of their great sorrow.

The fiat reef continues about the same as when last reported on, three feet wide. I may state that the mine generally is looking better than when last reported on.
