WE note there is quite an epidemic of rabies amongst the canine species in the neighboring. colony of Singapore, and that some awful deaths from hydrophobia, principally however confined to Chinese, has been the result. Stringent measures have been adopted by the police of the Straits Settlements against all stray dogs with- | nut collars or owners, but the Press say this has had but little effect, and it now advocates the muzzling of all does accompanying their owners into the town. The disease is said to have heen introduced by imported dogs from England. We commend the attention of our Police autho

Logan and his men kept a look-out, and o searching a small engine-house forward, saw these tins of oplum locked in, "Capt. Lelavour was called, and had the tins removed to a

The question for the Lefavour did his duty under the circumstances or magistrate to decide was whether Captain not. If he ruled that in future it was the Captain' duty on discovering opium to at once give notice to the excise officers or the police that should be done.
Mr. Webber pointed out that it should have been handed over at 7.30 when found. The boat left next morning before the office opened, Captain Lefavour wanted to carry the opium to Canton, where the Imperial Maritime Customs would give him half of the value.
Mr. Robinson-I have no evidence to that effect, before me.
Mr. Webber. Well they say the Opium Farmer is a smuggler-it is a mean and contemptible insinuation,
Mr. Robinson-I have no evidence of that either.
I went to the chief officer, and after a conversa- tion went to the defendant. I told him I had information that there was a quantity of opium on board and asked him to hand it over to me.

Mr. Walter Knaggs writes to Singapore Free Press under the heading the "Ancient Mines in Pahang":-With reference to your enquiry as to the existence of old workings in Pabang similar. to those you describe'as having been formed at Kolar mines, beg to inform you that they most certainly do exist. On the Jelul, where I am opening mines for the Malayan Pahang Conces sion Co., Limited, of London, there are some of extraordinary interest, which have been described by the two experts who were sent out by Messrs. John Taylor & Sons, the eminent mining engineers, of London, as being of greater extent than any they had ever seen or heard of, Imagine a hill something like Bukit Timals, honey-combed with pits some 6o to the acre, and sometimes only three feet apart. So close are they that it is really dangerous to walk between them. They attain a depth of from 100 to 200 feet. By whom these pits were dug is a mystery. They show no traces of the use of gunpowder nor have any implements or utensils been found to throw light on this subjects. We are driving tunnels in from the foot of the bill: and have already struck very valuable reels, We find the old miners took out everything until stopped by water or foul air. The whole place is now a mass f dense jungle. Tradition does not go far back in Fabang; and everything before the advent of the Malays is ascribed to the Siamese ; but I am more inclined to give Hindoos the credit for this vast work ; as I am informed on good authority (although I have never seen them) that the nose rings which are in general use with them, have been occasionally met

PECULIAR ALLEGATIONS.
By the Court-There is no permit for this opium.
Mr. Francis, in defence, said that under ordinary circumstances he did not suppose that that case would have been desended, and Mr. Webber's statement that the Opium Farmer merely wished to have a nominal penalty im- posed as an expression of his Worship's opinion as to the duties, of the parties would have ben-sufficient. But, the cit cumstances of the case were rather peculiar, and as there had been similar cases of a rather grave aspect that case was defended really for the purpose of getting an investigation of thore matters. The Hongkong and Macao Steamboat Company and Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, who were associated in the Canton traffic, bad the gravest reasons for believing that among the principal smugglers of opium out of the Colony were the Opium Farmer and his licenses. Mr. Webber-I strongly object to this, unless you are going to prove it,
Mr. Francis-I am going to prove it. Mr. Robinson-Does that affect the issue ? Mr. Webber-No-it is a mean, contemp'ible insinuation.
Mr. Francis-I want to shew that a permit does exist with regard to this opium that it came on board from a licensed shop, having authority to have boiled or prepared opium; that it was put on board by the servants of that shop with a view to being smuggled to Canton, and that it was lawfully in the Captain's possession

Mr. Francis-Well, I think by the time 'I have concluded you will see that it does,
Mr. Webber proposed that Mr. Francis should give an outline of the case he was going to
present.
Mr. Francis resorted that he would present bis case as he thought fit. For a long time the Company's boats had been liable to heavy fine, and even forfellure. in consequence of smuggling In very recent cases opium had been smuggled on board and found by the boat officials and each time that had been done people came directly from the Opium Farmer's, with full knowledge that it was on board and seized, and claimed it
