James Hates, who received a sentence of two years' hard labour for conspiracy to defraud, at, Hokitika, is the same storekeeper who, some twelve months since, asserted that he had been stuck up and robbed of a quantity of gold purchased for the Bank of New South Wales. The bank instituted .proceedings, but afterwards abandoned them. Tfe Licensing Bench at Timiru, seem to be carrying out the Ordinance with some stringency. In the case of an upplicant who was unmarried, the application has been adjourned for a fortnight, to give him an opportunity or remedying that disability. The process of taking the census of the Hansfc would not be a very tedious one. We learn from a Hokitika paper that its population consists of twelve persons ; whilst in the vicinity of the Police Camp, the total muster is four persons — two members of the force, their washerwoman, and a man — who, we presume, is una.ble to leave — invalided with rheumatism. TnE death is reported in the Wanganui district, of a Maori woman named Jenkins, at the ripe old age of 110. She remembered the visit of Captain Cook in 1796, and stated that the natires imagined his ship to be a huge bird, ihe sai's being the wings. Letters from Fiji state most of the carcro of the Macgregor had to be saciificed before she could be got off the reef, and even now it will take £10,000 to £15,000 to repair her damages. Considerable excitement prevailed at Lyctelton by the finding of a man with his throat cut. Inquiries, however, being instituted, it appeared the wound had been caused by his having driven his head through a large square of glass. These is resident at Auckland, an old Peninsular veteran, named Hii], who has attained the good old age of 94. He has been with Moore at Oorunna, and Wellington, at Waterloo. When his term of service was ended, he received a pension, which he exchangedfor a grant of land in New South Wales. This he unfortunately lost, through the dishonesty of parties with whom he dealt. The 'Cromwell Argus' announces another fatal case from the fever so pre\a'ent in that town. Mr John Milns, a nephew of Mr Hallenstein, of Wakatip, injwhose employ he was, is the last victim of the terrible epidemic. A batheb. novel mode of giveng a " broad hint" to forgetful debtors, lias been adopted by aMr McCusker. He has published the names and amounts of about a dozen iv the ' Taranaki Herald,' and adds as a foot-n')te : — "This is only a sample; about fifty more will go in this day week.". A somewhat similar mode is at present in force in Melbourne. A negro has undertaken the collection of doubtful accounts, which he does dressed witn a monster hat, around which appears the pri ited placard : '' Bid debts collected." He very seldom has to call twice at the same house.
