We read of a very strange adventure which has happened to a party of engineers boring in Wash ington County, in the "neighbourhood of Pitts- burg. The company had for six weeks been working a drill in quest of "ile." They had gone down over two thousand feet, and were about to give up the search in despair, when the drill and the tools, the framework and the men engaged in the business were sent auddenly flying up in the air. The searchers had struck gas. For six weeks past a stream of pure gas has been escaping from the bore hole, and no one has been able to stop it. If the engineers drive in a plug that impediment to the flow of BEFORE both Magistrates sitting together, ans suddenly shoots out like a cannon-ball.

CALCUTTA, 14th August, 1882.

Editor,

How easily persons of fervid imagination may be led into untruthfulness by any attempt to To ROBERT FRASER-SMITH, Esq., " rival them in the inatter of marvellous narrative is demonstrated by the following veracious apec- dote. During the Servia's last passage across the Atlantic, two of her passengers, an American and an Englishman, were conversing one day upon sporting subjects. A casual mention of Hurlingham afforded the American an oppor. tunity for stating that on one particular occasion he had shot 999 pigeons running. Upon his in- terlocutor observing that "he might just as well have said a thousand whilst he was about it," he rejoined, "Certainly not, I should scarcely tell a lie. for the sake of a single pigeon!" Upon this, the Englishman, giving rein to his fancy, recounted at considerable length the extraordinary achievement of a man, unknown to him by name, who had swam all the way from Liverpool to Boston. "Did you see him do it?" asked the Yankee. "Of course I did. As I was crossing the Atlantic with some friends our steamer passed him a few miles outside Boston harbour." "Well, sir," exclaimed the American, smiling exultingly,

The Hongkong Telegraph. DEAR SIR,-1 perceive by a recent number of the Calcutta Englishman that Herr Bandmann has prosecuted you for libel. I have read the statements made at the trial by the witnesses Mrs. Ogden, Mr. R. E. Inman, Mr. W. R. Schmidt and others, and beg leave to state that I am in position to confirm the greater portion of their evidence As Herr Bandmann, Miss Beaudet, and two other persons were recalled to rebut the statements made by the witnesses above named, you will perhaps allow me, an entirely disinterested person so far as any differences between Herr Dandmann and yourself are concerned, to give the public of Hongkong my personal experiences. As my name was mentioned by several witnesses during the heating of the case, perhaps you will consider that I have some claim to be heard

It is a reply to a letter sent by Mr. Martin Simonsen, who was at that time performing at the Princess Theatre, Dunedin, with his opera troupe, and whose business Bandmann tried to spoil. It will show how well Herr Bandmann can write broken English when it suits his purpose against those whom he conveniently claims to be his own countrymen. If you analyse the letter you will find that he quotes from "Dragic Bower" and other articles that have been written at dif- ferent times.

I could tell you many other similar occu ences to the above, but I think it is hardly ne cessary, I trust, however, that you will win this case with flying colours, for if ever any man de served to be shown up, it is Herr Bandmann. In any case, I hope this sketch, which I solemnly declare to be the truth in every particular, may be of use to you in justifying yourself in the eyes of the Hongkong public.

I enclose for your perusal a true copy of the last letter written by Miss Raymond to Band- mann, from which you will see what a contemp. tible coward he was to this poor girl. It is a private letter and not for publication.

Yours truly,

We are inclined to think that Sir GEORGE PHILLIPPO did not quite appreciate the actual strength of his sentence. Two months' imprison- ment as a first class misdemeanant would.be rather a treat than otherwise to many idle people, but to an editor of a public print in this part of the world, where persons qualified to conduct the general affairs of a daily newspaper are few and far be tween, it would, unless under most except tional circumstances, mean absolute ruin.
