(PER PBESS AQENOYi)
Wellington, Monday. The Government are about to {it up an ice house on board the'Hinemoa,' for.the purpose of distributing about a million white fish, expected from San Francisco by the next mail steamer. The principal portion of these fish will be sent to Invercargill, for the lakes and rivers in that district are consideed more suitable, the northern parts of the colony being too warm for them. The 'Hinemoa' will probably leave here for Auckland on Thursday next, when she will take the Commissioners of Higher Education, to obtain evidence there. Mr E.J.Duncan sells reclaimed land to-morrow. Tenders will be called in a few days for the first five miles of the Greymouih and Hokitika railway. Poxton, Monday. The bar is greatly improved. The 'Jane Douglas' found nearly eight feet of water. The ' Glenelg' leatres to-mor-row morning for Wellington, where she will take in 70 or 80 tons of coal to give her grip on the water, returning to the ' Hyderabad' on Wednesday, The' Pelican' is expected to be got off to-morrow morning.
