THE 6777 BY.onOticr.—Lady Buller, wife of
General Buller, in presenting the 67th Regiment with
new colours the day before yesterday, read the follow-
ing :—" Colonel Thomas, officers, non-commissioned
officers, and middies of her Majesty's 67th Regiment,—
The impressive ceremony being over, of consecrating these
new and beautiful colours, I have the honour, in the name
of her Moat Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, to present
them to you. The records of your regiment I hold in my
hand. They are so numerous and varied that I feel it
will be difficult to do them full 'notice. In 1768 this
regiment was raised
by that distinguished soldier,
General Wolfe. He fell in the battle before Quebec.
Since that time, in peace and in war, the 67th
has nobly sustained the fame of having been the regiment
that claimed him 44 its ant colonel. After twee 66retig
in the war Services in 1804, your regiment proceeded to
India, there to take part in the degas of the great for-
tresses of Ryghor and Amenhur, the last-named fortress,
from its vast strength, called the Gibraltar of the East.
The Indian services of the 67th Regiment won lasting
laurels. These splendid colours tell their story. The
royal tiger, and that great word 'lndia,' mark the ap-
probation of your sovereign and your country. Again, in
the great days of the Peninsula, after your regiment had
distinguished itself by many noble deeds, at the end of
the war Peninsula and Barron added new lustre on your
colours. In later times—in 1880—you were so fortunate
as to take part in the war in China, under your distin-
guished Highland 1 seder, Sir Hope Grant. On the attack
and capture of the Pekoe forts, the 67th was the Bret
regiment to plant its Dolours on the enemy's walla, by
their gallant assault carrying all before them, and leading
brilliantly the way to victory. Wheikraos came to _our
arms, ' Pekoe Forte,' and 'Pekin were graciously
permitted to be inscribed on your colours. South Hamp-
shire claims you as her own regiment. It is, therefore,
en interesting coincidence that you should receive. your
colours in this town. May these colours be as preciously
guarded as those that preceded them. As my late father
Sir John Maodonald's daughter, to t colours to the
67th Regiment is indeed a gratifying task. When
Adjutant-General of her Majesty's Forces he had the
Tee honour—and he ' it greatly—of being Colonel-in-
Chief of the 67th ' ent. As a soldier's wife I deeply
appreciate the corn • nt you have paid me this day.
Colonel Thomas, o cars, non- commissioned officers, and
soldiers of her Majesty's 67th Regiment, from my hands
receive, with all honours, these glorious colours."

Suoourro MURDER LN FRANCE.—The keeper of
a small inn in the outskirts of Buxerollee, near Poitiers,
named Gas, and his wife have just been murdered by a
man with whom they were on terms of intimacy, and who
had dined with them on the day of the crime. He re-
turned to the house late in the evening when the couple
were alone, and taking advantage of a moment when the
woman bad gone to the cellar to fetch something which
he had ordered, shot the husband in the head with a re-
volver, and then stabbed him several times in the back.
Thinking Gas was ;dead, the murderer, whose name was
Rabin, went to the cellar, and after breaking the woman's
arm with a pistol shot, and inflicting other wounds, he
threw her down a well ninety feet deep. The husband
before he expired was just able to give an alarm to some
neighbours and to describe the nature of the attack. The
motive for the crime had been to obtain possession of a
sum of 2001. which Gas had in the house, but which Babin
was not able to find, as it was afterwards discovered con-
cealed in a bed. The murderer was soon after arrested.

STRIKE IN THE HOP-FIELDS.-It has invariably
been the custom of Irish harvest labourers be assist in
gathering in the hops, but the early completionef the corn
harvest this year caused many of them to return, and now
that the operation of picking hops has been universally
commenced in Kent, there is an ausufikeency of hands to
secure the crop, and this has caused competition among
growers to obtain pickers. A large number of men,
women and children have migrated from London, and
procured work in the hop plantations, at prices of from
6d. to 6d. per twelve bushels o f picked hops, but on Tuesday
there was a general strike for an advance of war" to
which some of the hop-growers reluctantly submitted, end
yesterday in many plantations the palms quietly re-
turned work. In other grounds the growers will not
concede to the pickers. There ass many groups of
)fit
hop on the reads, making their way down fo the Kent
hop districts. This wall tend to alleviate the difficulties of
hop-growers, who are moot anxious to secure their hop
crops. The pickers are provided with barna and hop-
houses, with clean straw to sleep on, and many ot
them bring their own bedding. The crops are good, and
many families are earning good wages at the advanced
prices.
