Mb J. H. Smith, one of the directors of the Prince Imperial Co., has. kindly placed the following telegram at our disposal:—V All arranged. Graham settled with for £1000.— D. Or. MACDOHHEIiIi."

THE snaremarket baa taken a sudden start, and there ia a great; deal of fictitious excitement. Prince Imperials are not worth a whit more, according to the mine, than they were a week ago, yet they have rsen IC3 per cent. The same remark applies to both Crosses and Deep Levels with even greater force. If there is any reason for the former sharos jumping from Va to 30s within two or three days we have not heard of if;. Not a pound of stone has been broken dojjn in the drive in the Imperial mine going towards the Cross boundary, nor has there been any discovery in the Company's winze of importance sinre they stood at the former figure. Strange to say, when the excellent crushing of 12ozs to the load of quartz taken.from the Cross winze was known nearly a fortnight, ago, the. news had but a trifling effect.-master-hand " bulling" it. Oae word of option Either the market has gone m »d or there is a to investors : Don't lose your head ; consider before you buy if the slock is at a legitimate value. The Bay of Plenty Time say»:—Tho coach for the Thames yesterday left with a goodly number of passengers, most of them on the through ticket for Auckland. No lees than five left en route for the metropolis, and most of. those will return overland again. This shows plainly how badly overland communication with the Thames has been wanted, and we trust to.seethe coach service become the success ita enterprising proprietors so richly deserve.

A SOMEWHAT lengthy account of the death of Father Nivard appears in oar morning contemporary, enclosed in mourning borders. Strange to say an exactly similar article appears in the New Zealand Herald of the previous day. We wonder it' the Herald copied from th^-A-ttvertiser without acknowledgment. ' There is one mistake which shows the - writer thereof was writing from hearsay. It is stated the public meeting to bid farewell to Father Nirard was held at the Theatre Royal, whereas it took place at the Academy of Music. G-eoh&e Michael Morgan, of Waimate, ' was found dead in bed from heart disease ' yesterday. . i Th£ Te Awamutu Cheese Factory has j announced .a commencement of operations. | HABBX, Blunter, who was alleged to hare attempted suicide by. takiogf: rat poison, phosphorous paste, cleared out from Auckland for Melbourne by the.Ringarooma. -*'

A HATHBB singular instance of prescience of approaching death came to light in the course of an inquest on an old m«ii named Evers at Christchurch on Tuesday. The day before his death it appears that Evera had become convinced that his end was approaching, and had drawn out a will bequeathing the wholo of 'his worldly goods, worth about £200, to Mrs Mary Ann dmspbel, a neighbor of his who had shown him kindness. He called the lady in, and requested her to fetch two witnesses, in order that the decument might be properly att ited. She told him it was all nonsense this idea of his i nmediate dissolution, and dissuaded him froi- his purpose. The next day Evers dieH, and hit property, instead of going to his friend as he wished, will be dealt with b, the Curator of-Intestate Estates.
