A MONSTER NUGGET.-A gold nugget,
weighing not less than 200 lbs. troy, has
been found In Victoria. 1t is doubtful
whether so large Il quantity Of the precious
metal has ever been found before in one
mass. The great nugget of 1858 weighed
only l46 lbs. 1t is noticeable that all these
great Jumps Of gold have been found In Aus
tralia. In 1880 a nugget, thought at that
time to be immense, was turned up in Peru,
but II weighed not more that 60 lbs.

would have done credit TO the middle Of jan
uary, and those who had expected to have
appeared in spring costumes at the various
places Of worship, were well satisfied to re-
sort to winter garments In order to appear In
their places at church. The very Indictment
weather and bad walking had the effect to
cause many to remain at home, and the
churches Of the city were but SHINY attended
at the morning services. About three O'Clock
In the afternoon the storm ceased, and as a
consequence many Of the religious Commu-
nifty appeared in their places In the evening.

gregatlon will learn to know and love him
as a Jealous pastor and an earnest and faith
full minister Of God.

MoRB LIGmT.-From some cause or other
the lamps in several of our pOpulous thor
oughfares have ceased to guide the traveller
on his way" and those passing along them
are compelled to grope their wayas best they
can. Last night many OF our church-going
people had just cause of complaint, in find
ing their clothes sOiled in passing by piles of
old lumber on the sidewalks where buildings
are about being erected. The lnmplighters,
or those whose duty 1t is to attend to the
lamps, should see that they are lighted on
dark nights.

THE New REGISTER OF WnLs.-The Sem
ate having on Friday night confirmed Col.
Amos Webster as register of wills of this
District, he will enter upon his duties early
this week, relieving Col. James r. o'Beirne,
who for some time past has so faithfully
filled the position, and who, by his courteous
manner and thorough business capacity, has
made friends with all who have had occasion
to transact business In connection with the
Orphans Court.
Col. Webster is a native of Massachusetts,,
and entered the army at the commence
ment of the late rebellion as q private in
the LIST regiment Massachusetts volunteers.
By merit alone he won his way to the posi-
ton he had lately occupied as a member Of
the staff of the General Of the United States
armies. 1t Is not doubted that In returning
to civic pursuits In our midst he will bring to
the discharge Of his duties the same diligence
and faithful attention for which he has been
noted since his connection with the army.
1t is a matter of congratulation to our citi-
zens that in parting with so gallant and
courteous q gentleman as General O'Beirne,
they greet one equally courteous and gentle.
manly. And II Col. Webster, In giving W
his soldierly pursuits, is as successful as his
predecessor, we are confident there will b.
no cause TO regret the exchange.
