DREDGING RETURNS;

[By Telegraph.]

Messrs A. and T. Inglis insert a change of ad on page 6 of this issue. While he was crossing the Cardrona River on Sunday evening, the wheel of Mr Warden M'Carlhy's buggy broke. The stream was in high flood at the time and the body dipped down into the water. The horse pulled the buggy out and its occupant got off with a wetting. A meeting of the Upper Clutha A. and P. Association was held on Friday evening and a lot of business was transacted. The show will be held on November 24th. Owing to the length of our court report, we are compelled to hold over a full report till Saturday. A fire occurred at the Kawarau coal-pit on Friday night last at 7 o'clock, by which the engine house was burnt to the ground. The house was constructed chiefly of iron, and the damage done is not so great as was at first imagined. A number of tools were lost. The fire will not prevent the mine from being worked.
We find that our informant was in error in statins; that £3OO had been voted towards the sand fund. The following is the telegram received by His Worship the Mayor from Mr W. Fraser, M.H.R. : " Have got £IOO as pound to pound subsidy for removing sand." We were busy on. Friday nic»ht and were unable to see the Mayor for fuller information. Great credit is clue to Mr Fraser for the trouble he ha 3 been to in the matter. We shall have more to say about it in our next issue.
