THE ABORIGINALS.—We have had a good,
sprinkling of blackfellows and their lubras
amongst us for the last week or so. On
Saturday Mr. Coles kindly sold them a few
opossum rugs—thus making them acquainted
with some of the advantages of this species of
sale, as their rugs fetched on an average 15/ to
16/ each. In the evening these sable visitors
held a corroboree in the yard of the Sir John
Franklin Hotel, at which there was a large
gathering of spectators..
