THE PIRATICAL ÁTTACK ON A
JUNK.
Mr. Wodehouse held an inquiry this morning, at the Magistracy, into the circumstances attend- ing the death of Chong Achoi, who died on Monday from a gunshot wound inflicted by pirates the previous evening.
Dr. Marques deposed that he made a port- mortem examination ofthe body, and found that a bullet had gon dhrough the abdomen, entering
at the back.
:
The captain of the junk which the pirates attacked said that he left Hoihow for Hongkong on Saturday, and about 6.30 the following evening, when about nine miles from Cape D'Aguilar, he saw a junk approaching, from which a shot was fired. He hid himself in the hold, and shortly afterwards the men on the strange junk came on board. They remained a short time, and after they had gone witness emerged from his hiding-place, and inspected the deck. He found that three men among them the deceased-were wounded, and 37 sacks of turnips taken.
One of the passengers said that he saw the junk approach, and tried to get into the hold, but it was already filled by the captain and crew. About half a dozen shots were fired at them, and afterwards about 'ten men came on board. One of them hit witness on the head with a club, because he was lying on a bag of turnips, which the man wanted. Three other passengers were injured, one being shot in the body, another in the calf of the leg, and a third in the head. No shots were fired after the pirates came on board, as they were only armed with knives.
Inspector Mackie sald he found the wounded men lying in a lodging house, and removed the deceased, who was the worst injured, in the Hospital, where he died next day. He was 25 and said he was a firmer from Hoihow. He said he had been shot by pirates, but could not identify any of them.
His Worship found that deceased had been wilfully murdered by some person or persons unknown.

SORGHUM SUGAR A FAILURE.
For more than twenty-five years farmers in the Northern States have been encouraged to believe that there was profit in raising sorghum for the purpose of making sugar and syrup from Orientalis juice. At first they were informed that there was money in the domestic manufacture of these articles. They accordingly bought crust.ers and evaporating pans at most extravagant prices, and sought to combine the manufacture of sugar and syrup with the production of cane. The losses resulting from these undertakings amounted to millions. At one time the majority of the more wealthy firmers in several countries in this State were making or trying to make table sweets from sorghum. As sugar and molasses were. then high, they felt BK: their undertakings.. A large number of persons peracvering in interested in the sale of sorghum sced, crushers, evaporators and books of instruction helped. kerp up the excitement in regard to sugar. making in the North. In this they were aided by the agricultural papers;

HERE is no feature of our civilised life that strikes a thoughtful man with more forco than the neglect of LIFE ASSURANCE. BY payment of a small quarterly subscription any man of good health can secure a very large sum to his family in case of premature death, yet hundreds of families brought up in comfort- perhaps in luxury-are left in extreme poverty every year from, the bread winner having neglected to assure his life. In the East many a man lives up to his income, knowing well that if death cut him off suddenly, his wife and children would be left almost wholly unprovided for. All this can be prevented by Lifa Assurance.
