On Saturday evening the aborigines, in ac
cordance with an advertisement In the Oncer,
dian, held a corrobboree at the rear of the Sir
John Franklin Hotel before a moderate atten
dance. At first their antics were gone through by
the light of a bonfire; but as that was against a
by-law of the Corporation, it was soon doused.

minded individuala procured some fundlns,
which made the darkness visible. The perfor
mance concluded about quarter-past 9 o'clock.—
