We learn that Mr. Montagne Browne, who lor a period of over two years has ftlled the sub-editorial ohair of tho New Zealand Herald, is about to leave Auck land for Dunedin, to flll an engagement on the Guard'ian, a leading daily mom ing paper. Although young in years, Mr. M. Browne ranks am )ng the smnrt estneWllplloper men in the colony, or any of the neighboring colonies, and from our personal knowledge of that gentle man, if he did not possess all the quali l1cations for newspaper work, we should say: .. More ahrune to Wm I\ Mr. M. Browne was born, somewhat premature ly, in an editor's room adjoining 0. news· paper printing omce, and hru! been con nected with the newspaper press from that hour to this. At three weeks old a girl, to whom the child had been com mitted, let him fall into a keg of printer's ink, and it was days and clays belore he could be r08tored to his original oomplexion. At twelve montha old nothing would pacify him so quickly as to give him a pot of paste, a pair of soissors and an old newspaper. At three years he escaped froD} his nurse, and \ pied\ seventeen galleys of type. At seven he colU'ed his sister to bo plnced on a printing press, and was about tak ing an impression from her, when he was discoverod by his mamma, who did nQt fail to make an impreBBiol1 on him. At twelve YCIUS old our youthful jotU'Illllist did his first atrooious murder, in which he caused a mother, the keeper of a sausage establishment, to slay her ohild and oonvert it into BBusages, the whole of which she dispoBed of to oustomers. This murder sold l1vi h1Ul· drcd additional oopies 01 the newspaper it was printed in. A month after that he perpetrated the great bank robbery, which will not yet have diod oat of 'he memory of om readers. This was fol· lowed by a dreadful oonflagration, and afterward by a mimcnloas e8C1Jpe of a young lady from being carried oft' by a female dlsguised as a man, in a fit of jealousy, for having attempted to. wean the nil'ectious of the gentleman to whom she was engaged. It was a thrill· ing tale. The talling 01 a ohild down a three hundred teet shaft, the mother jumping do'nl after her, and both heing broaght out aUve, was a most affecting narrative.
