A STONE-THROWING MYSTERY.

A B'nnr-'hrowing mystery, is reported from Glunbirro, near Manilla (N.S.W.), where the house of Andrew Michie, m. boundary rider, is nightly bombarded^' A special watch has been kept, and although alert watchers simultaneously rushed from Beveral doors they could not discover anything. The houae^ which is situated on a grassy plain in a lonely spot, and is fronted by a small waterootfrae, fringed 'with clustering oak trees,' is being disßgured by the stoneß, some of which are of unusual size. A door hat been smashed off its hinges, windows have been broken, the iron roof dented, and ■labs splintered, and still the bombardment continues. On one-occasion a missile shot through the front door, striking one of iho daughters on the head, and inflicting a nasty abrasion. The efforts of the police and black trackers have proved un« availing. A pair of trousers and a comb were left outside one night. On the following morning half the trousers and half the comb were missing. The articles, however, were returned a few evening '■ later. They descended on the roof, attached to a large stone.
