THE Police Magistrate (Captain Townley) is

Line 0.4.1

in receipt of a telegram from the Colonial

Line 0.4.2

Secretary, stating that Monday, the 11th

Line 0.4.3

November, will be kept ss a pabhc holiday by

Line 0.4.4

the Government Departments in celebration of

Line 0.4.5

the Prince of Wales' Birthday, instead of

Line 0.4.6

Saturday, the 9th-the latter, it is presumed,

Line 0.4.7

being an inconvenient day

Line 0.5.0

A LETTES received in town gives some par

Line 0.5.1

ticulars of the last trip of the " Lord Ashley "

Line 0.5.2

which may prove interesting The steamer left

Line 0.5.3

Sydney with IO saloon and 171 steerage pas

Line 0.5.4

sengors, reaching Townsville in four days twenty

Line 0.5.5

hours, and beating the " Governor BlsLksll " by

Line 0.5.6

same fifteen hours Leaving Townsville with

Line 0.5.7

one saloon and 108 steerage passengers,

Line 0.5.8

the " Lord Ashley " reached Gladstone in forty

Line 0.5.9

three hours The letter states that the rnah to

Line 0.5.10

Charters Towers is now over, and that the Pobce

Line 0.5.11

Magistrate at Townsville has had to issue rations

Line 0.5.12

to the diggers, many of whom had no more

Line 0.5.13

than money enough to pay their passages to

Line 0.5.14

Townsville A number or men bave started for

Line 0.5.15

the Etheridge, where there is said to be abun-

Line 0.5.16

dance of employment.

Line 1.0.0

ON the invitation of Mr. Wilson, we have

Line 1.0.1

paid a visit to the Alligator Exhibition at the

Line 1.0.2

Theatre Boyal. The speoimcna of the saurian

Line 1.0.3

race now number fire, consisting, firstly, of the

Line 1.0.4

patriarch Big Bon ; secondly, of a young male

Line 1.0.5

nine feet in length ; and thirdly, of a female of

Line 1.0.6

about the same sine. The other specimens are

Line 1.0.7

of slight build compared with Big Ben, and the

Line 1.0.8

femalo is of much lighter colour than the male.

Line 1.0.9

The two remaining specimens aro preserved in

Line 1.0.10

spirits. They were, it may bo recollected,

Line 1.0.11

hatched some months since by Mr. Easton

Line 1.0.12

under a hen. Altogether the collection is an

Line 1.0.13

imposing one, and woll worth sooing. The

Line 1.0.14

medical faculty in town have oil inspocted the

Line 1.0.15

bones found in Ben's paunch, and they unani-

Line 1.0.16

mously pronounce them to bo portions of two

Line 1.0.17

sots-one of a black gin, and the other of an

Line 1.0.18

adult male, whether aboriginal or European is

Line 1.0.19

not ascertainable. This opinion Is supported by

Line 1.0.20

that of Doctors Innomsn and Bernstein, of

Line 1.0.21

Charters Towers, who visited Rockhampton last

Line 1.0.22

week on the manslaughter case.

Line 1.1.0

ALTHOUGH the rains of last woek have done

Line 1.1.1

very little good in the neighbourhood of Rock-

Line 1.1.2

hampton, we »re glad to hear that there is a

Line 1.1.3

fine spring of grass on the worst parts of the

Line 1.1.4

Poak Downs road. At the Dawson the country

Line 1.1.5

is looking verdant. At Springton the benefit of

Line 1.1.6

the rain is less apparent, but at the Dam Camp,

Line 1.1.7

and thenee to the Mackenzie, the waterholes

Line 1.2.0

have been filled, and in a week or two there j

Line 1.2.1

will be good grass for stock. In this part the '

Line 1.2.2

road was so heavy for some days, as not to be

Line 1.2.3

travcrsoble by vehicles. The mail buggy

Line 1.2.4

was stuck up, and instead of

Line 1.2.5

reaching Clermont on its proper date-Friday

Line 1.2.6

it was crawling through Middleton's bog-115

Line 1.2.7

miles from its destination-on Saturday after-

Line 1.2.8

noon. It is supposed that the buggy was over-

Line 1.2.9

taken by the following mail at the Mackenzie,

Line 1.2.10

and that both reached Clermont yesterday. Our

Line 1.2.11

informant confirms the accounts previously

Line 1.2.12

received of the threatened bread famine, and

Line 1.2.13

assures us that not a sipgle bag of flour could

Line 1.2.14

be obtained a week ago either in Copperfield or

Line 1.3.0

Clermont.

Line 2.0.0

TITE adjourned sittings of the Petty Debts

Line 2.0.1

Court for the present month wera concluded

Line 2.0.2

yesterday before the Police Magistrate and Mr.

Line 2.0.3

J. Macfarlane, J.P. There was but one defended

Line 2.0.4

case for trial-Waltor White e. R. M. Hunter

Line 2.1.0

and Co, money had and received. Damages

Line 2.1.1

were laid at £28. Mr. Milford appeared for

Line 2.1.2

plaintiff, and Mr. B. R. Jones for defendants.

Line 2.1.3

Plaintiff abandoned £20 of the amount set forth

Line 2.1.4

in the plaint. The evidence taken showad that

Line 2.1.5

about the 22nd of August last plaintiff

Line 2.1.6

secured from the defendants, as agents for the

Line 2.1.7

steamship " Blackbird," a passage for himself

Line 2.1.8

and wife to Brisbane for the sum of £8, plaintiff

Line 2.1.9

alleging that the defendants informed bim

Line 2.1.10

the vessel was to go by way of Gladstone. He

Line 2.1.11

had important business to transact at Gladstone.

Line 2.1.12

The vessel left on the 24th August, having been

Line 2.1.13

advertised to call at Gladstone ; and owing to

Line 2.1.14

running aground on the Flats in the river,

Line 2.1.15

returned to the wharf. Whilst at the Flats, he

Line 2.1.16

was informed by the first ofSoer ead the steward

Line 2.1.17

that the vessel would not oall at Gladstone. On

Line 2.1.18

the return of the vessel to Rockhampton on

Line 2.1.19

Monday, the 26tb, he spoke to Captain Torrance,

Line 2.1.20

and was informed by bim that the ressol would

Line 2.1.21

not go to Gladstone. Ho applied to defendants

Line 2.1.22

for the return of the passage mdney paid, and

Line 2.1.23

they refused to refund ft. The defendants' case

Line 2.1.24

, was that plaintiff had taken the tickets from

Line 2.1.25

Rockhampton to Brisbane, and nothing ' was

Line 2.1.26

said about plaintiff's stipulation to call at

Line 2.1.27

Gladstone, The tioket issued to plaintiff was

Line 2.1.28

, produced, and contained no mention of Glad-

Line 2.2.0

stone. Plaintiff stated that he was compollod

Line 2.2.1

to pay £6 to proceed by the " Lady Bowon "

Line 2.2.2

on the 27th instant, to Brisbane by way of

Line 2.2.3

Gladstone. Mr. Jones contended that plaintiff

Line 2.2.4

bad mistaken his course of action j defendant,

Line 2.2.5

as agents, were not personally liable. I'lio

Line 2.2.6

action was one for money bad and received, aud

Line 2.2.7

defendants were bound to account to their

Line 2.2.8

principals. Plaintiff should hare sued either

Line 2.2.9

the captain or the owners of tho " Blackbird."

Line 2.2.10

Mr. Mitford replied, and tho Bench gave a

Line 2.2.11

verdict for plaintiff for £3, with £1 li. pro-

Line 2.2.12

fessional costs, 5s. costs of court, and 5s. for

Line 2.2.13

witness' expenses.

Line 2.3.0

THE irregularity of the steamers has caused o

Line 2.3.1

virtual suspension or postal communication with

Line 2.3.2

New South Wales and the other colonies. The

Line 2.3.3

latest dates from Sydney, by post, is to the 23rd

Line 2.3.4

September, just seventeen days old ; and as no

Line 2.3.5

steamer is expected until Sunday, the interval

Line 2.3.6

of suspension will extend to twenty days. And

Line 2.3.7

this in the latter half of the nineteenth century,

Line 2.3.8

in the days of compound engines and iron

Line 2.3.9

steamships ! Wo have much to be thankful for

Line 2.3.10

in Rockhampton. The town's very existence

Line 2.3.11

depends upon its trade. Yet the transit of

Line 2.3.12

goods by sea is far more irregular, and tho

Line 2.3.13

conting steamers are without exception slower,

Line 2.3.14

than they were twelve years ago. It is an era

Line 2.3.15

of railways, yet we have hundreds of tons of

Line 2.3.16

merchandise lying in our stores, and there is no

Line 2.3.17

means of getting it forwarded up-country. No

Line 2.3.18

wonder trade is dull in the town, or that the

Line 2.3.19

people are almost reduced to the ead necessity of

Line 2.3.20

living upon each other. Bnt there is a better

Line 2.3.21

time coming. The A.8.N. Company are getting

Line 2.3.22

out some new stoamships from England, and the

Line 2.3.23

Government are contemplating the construction

Line 2.3.24

of our railway. Only wait a little longer, and

Line 2.3.25

vee shall see what we shall see, unless in the

Line 2.3.26

meantime all vitality be crushed out of us. Of

Line 2.4.0

that, however, there is not much fear while the I

Line 2.4.1

" Tinonee " runs to Broadsound, and while

Line 2.4.2

Messrs. Fox and Adair continue to minister to

Line 2.4.3

the necessities of our Peak Downs customers.

Line 2.4.4

But just now we, as journalists, have peculiar

Line 2.4.5

troubles. Our files are riddled, and we are at a

Line 2.4.6

loss for »tractable matter. The alligator species

Line 2.4.7

has become extinct in the Fitzroy, the serpentine

Line 2.4.8

race have not left their winter haunts, the

Line 2.4.9

drought is destructive of all hope of big

Line 2.4.10

pumpkins, the alluvial lead lias run out at

Line 2.4.11

Charters Towers, and the world's telegrams ore

Line 2.4.12

flat, stale, and unprofitable. Such wire reports

Line 2.4.13

as we do get are honestly paid for, end we have

Line 2.4.14

got into too deep a "mess with the Courier"

Line 2.4.15

to revel in the sweet delights or pilfered tele-

Line 2.5.0

Line 5.4.1

A ÜBTE ALIA -Weare indebted to a friend whose

Line 5.5.0

veracity is unquestionable for the following

Line 5.5.1

curious story -Some few years ago he was

Line 5.5.2

travelling in Queensland during the dry seasons,

Line 5.6.0

when for months no rain falls to moisteu and

Line 5.6.1

refresh the thirsty ground, accompanied by a

Line 5.6.2

blackboy who was in his employ 1 lie water

Line 5.6.3

failed them, and and tbey were beginning to

Line 5.6.4

suffer for want of it, when they came to the bod

Line 5.6.5

of a creek, which in the wet season had evidently

Line 5.6.6

been a considerable stream, but which was now

Line 5.6.7

pcrfeotly dry. The gentleman was disappointed,

Line 5.6.8

but the boy said " Ncber mind, massa, me find

Line 5.6.9

him prog" Tho master said he didn't want

Line 5.6.10

firog, he wanted water " Nebor mind, me find

Line 5.6.11

um" was the reply, and thereupon he com-

Line 5.6.12

menced with a stick scooping a hole in the now

Line 5.6.13

dried creek Presently, he cried out, " Look,

Line 5.6.14

masse, you no see lum track ? ' The gcntlcumn

Line 5.6.15

oould not make out what the lad meant, lie saw

Line 5.6.16

no trooks At length the mystery of the prog

Line 5.6.17

was solved The boy puts his fingers into a

Line 5.6.18

corner of the hole he had scooped out and

Line 5.6.19

pulled out a fine frog, well distended, taking it

Line 5.6.20

between his finger and thumb, he squeezed

Line 5.6.21

about a tablespoonful of water out of it, and

Line 5.6.22

then set to work again and ought, until they

Line 5.6.23

managed to get a pint of water, which they

Line 5.7.0

boiled and made their toa It is well known

Line 5.7.1

that when the dry weather comes, even in this

Line 5.8.0

part of the country, the frogs imbed themselves j

Line 5.8.1

in the mud, and remain close prisoners until the j

Line 5.8.2

rain comes For a good proof only go out any

Line 5.8.3

evening after rain, and you will hear hon merry
