A new butcher started business at Townsville! Queensland,a few weeks ago, and reduced the price of beef and mutton to 2d per lb, which is half the former rates. The other company now advertise meat at l£ i per lb. L'he satisfaction of the residents is immense, as prices formerly ruling were far too high. The Church aud the Ring are at loggerbeads in Sydney. An appeal has been made to the Premier to atop boxing in the City. The Church Representatives declared ttTkt “ two fellow creatures had been endeavoring to pound each other into jeby.” The Premier said that all that he could do was to see the Inspector General of Ponce did not allow the law to be broken. Tne Church evidently is not up to ihe wrink es of the ring. The pugilists do not usually make each other soft—it is the public that is most often the aof y, and it gels bled accordingly.
