NEW GOLD FIELDS —A Nelson (New Zealand)
paper says :—" The existence of an exceedinglY
"
goldfield within 3.5 miles from Nelson cannot now v;
questioned, and we are realising the first firuits of lttr
paying an enormous advance in the price of wages and
the first necessaries of life. In fact, Nelson, Picton,
afar ,
Blenheim seem likely to be nearly deserted by the Mee
the Wakamarina goldfields. Several claims are yielding 1;4
ounces of gold a week per man.. Six men got upsoarh..o-
of 156 ounces during the week; three Maories,
were working nine miles up the river, get 3G ounces e:
one morning; Mr T, Snow and party got on the sate;
afternoon 16 ounces; and Wilson's claim on the same cl 9 1t
gave 18 ounces from the bank, where, in the opinion of al‘
of the diggers, the largest amount of gold will be Oufjci
One party is reported to have obtained nearly five P°°
weight of gold in the course of half an hour. We 'ear-
from Mr Robert Burns who, with his cousins, returned frelll,6
the Wakamarina on Thursday, that they saw two diEe",/
take out in less than two hours 15 pounds of gold. 'Ile;
had felled a birch-tree growing on the edge of the rie'i:
and fossicking about its roots, they came upon thia
prize. It is thought the whole watershed of the relel-
will prove to be rich in gold."
TERRIFIC THUNDERSTORAL—A thunderst°,
suddenly burst over a part of Wiltshire on Sundk7
afternoon, and caused great and anxious alarm. At
minster—over which town the storm hung for nearly
hg
an hour—the thunder claps were terrific, and rho lightnll
was intensely vivid. Rain fell in a deluge, and ist"-
idea of the state of things may be realised when °
tt;
stated that the principal streets were in a few nrrn
some fourteen or fifteen inches under water, and ci-e
tower portions of the houses inundated. The diire,,a—ss
done in the neighbourhood is not so great as might
been apprehended, but still it is severe. At Cora10:0,
village between Frome and Warminster, an old ivtor
was standing at her window in one of a block of
cottages, watching the storm, when the electric
descended, struck her to the ground insensible, and BoverieDer
scorched her arm and side. Almost instantaneousil ;0,
flames burst out, and it was with the greatest difilcultYt
the poor old creature was extricated by her neigllbtor
The flames spread to the adjoining cottages, and all
were soon reduced to ruins.
