RESIDENT MAGISTRATE’S COURT, TEMUKA. ; when the rain did come it was This is now proved by the thin, short heads and the thinly-stooked* fields that one sees all round. The average for this district, as well as the Pleasant Point and Geraldine districts, must be a lower average than was lately looked for. The grain will be good if the weather for the next few weeks proves favorable, but at present it is not promising What with short crops, low prices, and high wages, the farmer has his troubles. Indeed labor cannot be got, for wo know of more than one farmer who has Iris grain Ling upon the land for want of hands to tie and stock it—this, too, when men are to be seen in crowds “boozing’’ in every roadside inn. While on tin’s subject it may not be out of place to give our opinion of this difficulty. We would have every able-bodied man that is found idly loafing about any public house or other resort ordered to go to work somewhere, or take them to the lock-up as vagrants. It is really not to be tolerated the way they idle away day after day at these bars, while net only their bread, but the bread of others, is lying at the mercy of the existence ; too late to do much good. weather. There can be no compelling a man to do his hardship in share of his country’s works as others who, if they do not work with tiicir hands, are expected to work with their heads. If a house of ill fame is reported the inmates are punished for keeping open door to idlers who can show no lawful way they.have for making a living. Why should sturdy loafers be allowed any greater privilege 1 If our policemen were set upon them and compel them to go to work or to gaol fewer would be found wasting that precious time given for gathering in the fruits of the earth.

He has apparently accepted the Atkinson parly as his friends—perhaps his social companions and he no doubt felt wounded at the mortification of that party as such. For this and other of Lord Normanby’s evident proofs of partiality he would have much difficulty in finding- an adequate excuse.

What are our police doing to allow such transactions to take place in open day, and before most people are out of bed in tiro morning ? The condition of the city poor is something appalling. In Venice there were, in 1870, 35,728 paupers, eighteen times the 1111111061' there were last century, 13.000 more than in 1860, and 2000 more than in 1867. In the pearl factories of the Queen of the Adriatic” workmen are paid from 26 to 30 centimes per day, while the average earnings of the 900.000 Lombardian female flax-spinners is only one franc per week ! The Melbourne ‘Daily Telegraph’ of the 28rd says t c< The depreciation of property and impoverishment of labors, which is special to Victoria, must be caused by yurely local and artificial causes. Drought, rust, dearness of money, and the paralysis of trade, which is affecting the whole commercial world, has been felt in New South Wales, South Australia, and Queensland, as much as in Victoria. Yet in none of these colonies is there a fall in the value of real property, of from 50 to 70 per cent. In none is trade so bad that insolvencies are becoming chronic ; that employment is shrinking, and labor augmenting. In none are arc there gatherings of unemployed, or a constant stream of emigration of those who are not too impoverished to escape from the colony. In none is the domi- TEMUKA THE ,[Rrom Exchanges.] Mr Parkes unwed a Bill in the New South Wales Parliament to outlaw the Kellys, and punish their accomplices. He stated that joint action had been taken with Victoria for the arrest of the Kellys, but the arrange- ments were secret. The New South "Wales Goverment offers a reward of £3OOO and the Banks £IOOO for the capture of the Kellys. Victoria offers a similar amount, making a total of £BOOO. Numbers are proceeding to the border. In the Assembly last night Sir Henry Parkes continued the statement as to an in- creased reward being offered for the capture of the Kellys. He intimated that the Government woidd probably ask the Assembly and Council to suspend the Standing Orders to Pass the Outlawry Bill in one sitting. The brig Raymond, from Newcastle to Timaru, with coal, has been wrecked on Cape Howe. She sprang a leak and ran ashore. Three lives were lost.

The English Eleven, without the professionals, beat the Bohemian Fifteen in one innings, and won the match by 255 against 228. The Englishmen will not play another game in Sydney. The Garonne’s news confirms the Zulu disaster, but removes anxiety for Hie safety of Natal. The British reinforcements occupied the field aipong their dead comrades, and the Zulus were held in restraint. The British vainly fought with desperate valour. Twenty-live thousand Zulus swooped down on them. The Governor laid the foundation stone of the Sydney International Exhibition. A boat-load of pleasure-seekers frollicking on the Avon, Christchurch, on Wednesday last, were upset, and got a sound ducking, and but for a passing boat would have resulted fatally, as two of the number wore women and another a baby. The water was deep and swift at the spot. The interior Canterbury railway is to be commenced at once, instructions having been given the Railway Engineer to begin the earthwork on the Temuka-Rangitata and Oxford-Malvern sections. By the recent San Francisco mail the Railway Department has received advices of the shipment of fifty additional sets of iron work for roadside wagons, per G. B. S., from London. These wagons are intended for the Christchurch section, and as the vessel sailed on the 12 December, she may be expected to arrive in the course of two or three weeks.

Unger, of Minnesota, writes to the ‘ New York Sun’“ In times past you have published numerous articles On the cure of drunkenness ; but none of them, as far as I have been able to discover, have resulted in relieving the victim they intended to benefit. With your permission, I will now give to the world-, through the ‘Sun,’ a sure and speedy cure for drunkenness-a cure that has been tried frequently, and always successfully. Let the inebriate—it matters not whether he is just getting off, beginning it, or is on a spree—begin by taking every two hours one drachm (teaspoonful) bf tincture of cinchona (Peruvian bark). This will make him feed good.

On the pinioning being completed, "Walsh was escorted to the place of various druggists where he drank it that he was fighting, and would conquer, the .greatest demon on earth, but they .could hardly believe him. Yet he conquered, and the appetite for drink vanished. He was never nervous, never lost his appetite or sleep during the siege, and came out of the ordeal in perfect health. During the time the fever lasted I gave him two or three doses of simple medicine for his general health, but the tincture did the business.

One of our landed aristocracy (as I wish to do him unqalified honor I might reveal his name —Allen M'Lean) has, in consideration of the poor season, reduced the rents of his tenants from ,50s to 15s per acre. Mr M‘Lean has taken the initiative in a course which will be highly appreciated by those directly benefited, and which I hope to see largely imitated by wealthy landlords occupying similar positions. A story is sent to me (writes Atlas,” in the ‘World’), about the late Mr M'N’ab, Curator of the Edinburgh Botanical Gardens.

THE Having spoken and written so frequently and distinctly on the education question, it is not now necessary for ns to write many words on the subject. You know your duty in this matter, and we are happy to he able to testify that you have bravely and nobly cone it. It only remains for us, then, to exhort you to persevere and to be prepared to •snys: —“ the future, if necessary, even greater sacrifices than you haA e hitherto r made. The faith of your children, your salvation, are at stake. Secularism is determined, if you permit it, to destroy Christianity, make men forget or own ignore God and their own eternal destiny. Its obiects is the unchristianising of the world, and the Teintvoduction of Paganism. Be not deceived by the sophistry and hypocritical professions of its •advocates. We are hound to be Christians and Catholics above all other things, and we should never forget the words of our Divine Redeemer, He that is not with me is against me.’ All Government schools in these dioceses are godless and hostile to the Catholic Church. Catholics cannot frequent them without exposing themselves to grievous dangers Of these to their faith and morals. schools, therefore, Catholics cannot avail themselves, except in cases of very great and when—such necessity necessit} being supposed —every possible precautions is taken to ward off all danger’s to faith and morals. Parents and guardians should bear in mind that they are responsible for the children uuder their charge, and' often reflect on these words of the Apostle 4 He that neglects his own, particularly those of his own house hold, has lost the faith and has become worse than an infidel ;’ and again on these words of our Divine Master : What will it avail a man to gain the whole world if he lose his own soul, or what will a man give in exchange for his soul V We therefore most earnestly exhort all to exert themselves to establish and maintain efficient Catholic schools wherever it is possible to do so ; and we call upon the clergy—who, indeed have not been wanting in this matter—to exert themselves with the greatest zeal and perseverance in the great cause of Catholic education. Nothing but Catholic education can save the rising generation from the baneful influence of the infidel systems of education so characteristic of this century -and so fashionable in this Colony,” A. M. Bailey, of Paris, has (according to Nature’) invented an electric spark pen which possesses some points of interest, If a sheet of thin paper is attached to a plate of copper or zinc, it is stated that an engraving may ho made with extraordinary facility by means of ‘ r , ; £ j I i ‘ Lorff machine is attached to the plate atid the other to the upper end of the pen current will ran through, and in drawing tlie paper is perforated. When the drawing is finished, ink is laid on with an ordinary roller, and the greasy fluid penetrates through the holes. The plate is then plunged in water, which detaches the paper, and it is ready for immersion in the acid. The advantage claimed for this method is that the artist does all parts of his work, and has no more trouble than if he were working with an ordinary pencil. He can even work in a dark room without any other light than the glare from the induction spark. The Bishop of Manchester, preaching at Eccles, said that people began to think, not so much in the days of prosperity, when trade was brisk and money was coming in fast, but when trade was dull and we were obliged to open soupkitchens. When adversity overtook us, then in a foolish and superstitious way we said an extra prayer or two, and God by some ex■ thought to propitiate ternal ceremonies ; for Christianity had degenerated from its early spirit. Instead of learning righteousness, and doing what was right'to their fellow men, and acting upon principles that would restore confidence—-for it was the utter loss of confidence that had broken down and depressed trade—men turned to their superstitions, and they muttered ■prayers, forgetting that the prayers of a wicked people were an abomination. Any clergyman of the Church of England in these days who ventured to speak as plainly as Isaiah did would be said • either to-be preaching politics or to he saying a good many things which were extremely uncomfortable for a great mass of the congregation to hear. We were now passing though our discipline, and the sooner we recognised it for ourselves the better. It was a severe and painful discipline, affecting all classes, and it was well that it should affect all classes, for all needed it. Such things -as intemperance, dishonesty, falsehood, luxury, and licentiousness were the causes of disaster and decline and ruin to any nation. The San Francisco correspondent of the Dunedin Times ’ writes as folI need not shock your readers lows: by any recital of crimes this month, although I have only'too much material at hand.

The shots were fired at such close range that the flesh was burnt. The two men were found upontheground, locked in deadly embrace. Estrada’s head was pulled under Glenn’s left arm. while the fingers clutched the hand with the desperation of death. In-a letter to a friend, dated Pietermaritzburgh, Natal, November 4, Sir Bartle Frere writes :—“ There can be no doubt that there is a great empire in the future between the Cape of Storms and Gardafui I wish you could aave come on here and seen what part the southern provinces of such an empire promise to play hereafter. It is not easy to make a great fortune out here in a few years, but a as in Australia or America bare subsistence is so easily got, and one so comfortable, that the less ambitious are soon content, and cease to work energetically, Hence the danger of a large proportion of the white population falling into a state of easy-going lotus-, eating epicureanism. But the northern races thrive here as the Kaffirs, who are quite the finest race physically on this cast coast of Africa. But they require ruling. An Arab conquest would bo a groat help, and still better a Scotch immigration. But even now there are I hope, the elements of a great dominion which, under the Crown of England, may be greater and more progressive than either Australia or America. We have here many tidings that are wanting there. The Dutch are naturally Conservatives ; the natives may become an excellent labour class, and there is little of the rowdy or Communist element. There are plenty ■ of good public men, quite equal to all the requirements of self-government. The unsettled native questions, the vast distances, the scattered population, and the local prejudices are the obstacles to progress and if I have done something to remove them I shall not regret my dreary seven months in the barracks at King William’s Town last year, or my even equally unexpected detention here this year.” We (‘N. B Agriculturist’) learn that in order to improve the breeding, and encourage the proper training of sheep clogs in the northern counties of England, the Earl of Bectivc is taking an active part in the movement, that has for its object the formation of an association entitled The Northern Counties’ Sheep Dog-trial Association,” which will organise a gathering each autumn at some convenient place selected by the managing committee. It is proposed that annual subscribers el two guineas will bo patrons of the association. How many persons would you think were drowned in the inland waters of England and Wales during the year ? We see inquests every day in the papers. They are so freqent that they are hardly noticed. Yet most people will be surprised to discover that nearly 2700 persons are drowned in our rivers, canals, or lakes. Of these the majosity are lost in rivers, about one-third as many in the canals, and 600 in lakes and ponds. And pet children are so seldom taught to swim. “ “ ; “ 4000 4-, 6-, and 8-tooth Merino Wethers, delivered at Silverstream 1800 full-mouth Merino Wethers, delivered at Mackenzie Country 2700 4- and G-tooth Merino Wethers, delivered at Rangitata 300 cross-bred ewes, full-mouth, delivered at Otaio 420 cross-bred Ewes, 2-, 4-, and Gtootb, delivered at Pleasant STEWART.

EARLY IN MARCH. TONAS, HARTf AND YYILDIE, instructed by Mr Henry Holloway, will sell by public \uiction, at his Farm, Lord Dufferin’s praise of the governing capacity of Irishmen, and his regret at being able only to make out that the Marquis of Lome was next door to an Irishman—being a Scottish Celt of the West Highlands—are fresh in the memories of the Canadians. A deputation from the St, Patrick’s Literary Society (says a Home paper), which waited upon the Marquis of Lome at Ottawa the other clay, was therefore somewhat surprised to receive a reply from the Governor-General showing that he is not content to be placed in the inferior position assigned to him by Lord Duffcrin. Personally, I need hardly tell yon,” said the Marquis, that the welfare of Irishmen is desired by me for I claim no inconsiderable share of Irish blood, and should not be here to-day had it notheeivthat a lady of Roscommon visited London during the last century, and consented to be taken to Scotland.” This allusion is to the wife of John, fifth Duke of Argyll.

And now their perfect innocence has been established. This is an example. Details are not wanting to make other coldblooded murders and lynching vie with, even in this atrocity. But I forbear.” Replying to a deputation at Cromwell respecting the opening of land for settlement, the Hon. Mr Stout is reported to have said r— ■“ It was not an enhanced price the Government wanted so much at true settlement in the country, and he found in other districts that agricultural leases were not altogether satisfactory in this respect. He thought, seeing the large extent of country the Government was now, and would be, opening, that entirely new regulations for its acquirement would have to be made. The two systems at present in operation —deferred payment and agricultural lease—were widely different, and on one side very unjust. Under the deferred-payment system, as compared with that of agricultural leases, more than double the price was paid, and stringent restrictions imposed as to residence, cultivation, &c.; whereas, under lease, the terms were much easier, and little if any restriction imposed, thus giving room for clummyism and acquirement of large areas by capitalists. He thought agricultural leases should be of two classes ; the first class (superior land) imposing certain improvements and cultivation, with residence on the land in not less than two years from acquirement the second class (medium and inferior lands) imposing a stated cultivation and improvement withoutresidence. However, these were matters for future consideration but meanwhile little time would be lost in affording means for settlement within the district. Several blocks would be opened in time for next season’s harvesting operations,” Mr Fredrick Turner, the oldest brewer in the United States, in his address before the Brewers’ Congress in this city last Wednesday, brought out a fact which may explain the cause of the rapid decay of the Turkish Empire. Mr Lauer said::—There are examples of nations that have practised prohibition, but it has invariably been to their great disadvantage. The Mohammedans adhered to total .abstinence for a period of 1200 years. They -constituted the principal population of Turkey on the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and the Turks, as a rule, have faithfully adhered to their prohibitory laws. We find as a result that of all the nations on the earth they are the most stupid, sluggish, slovenly, and even the most filthy. They are as far back in civilisation to-day as they were when they conquered Constantinople, nearly 900 years ago. Being a nation of waterdrinkers, they have become as a stagnant morass —an offence to civilisation.’ The Rassians, it should be understood, are good solid drinkers. They are what might he termed potable people.’ In a conflict with a weak water-drinking nation they naturally proved conquerors. The Germans pro hably whipped the French for the same reason. The Germans drink beer and good solid wines, while the French do very little in the way of beer and are given to light wines. The Britains are a nation of drinkers, and they whip everybody that, they can lay hands on. In our own country we have seen how the beer-drinking North walked off with the temperate and light-tippling South. We might go on in this way multiplying examples indefinitely. There is evidently a good deal in beer.” An English paper remarks that the agitation which lias been set on foot against the remarriage of divorced persons in church gives some interest to the figures which follow. From the last annual report of the Registrar-General it appears that during the sixteen years ended in 1876 there were G 96 marriages of divorced men and women. Of these marriages 77 percent, between divorced men and widows or divorced women and widowers while only 2 per cent, were between divorced men and divorced women. The number of these marriages appears to be vapidly increasing. During the eight years ended in 1868 they numbered 225, while in the succeeding eight years ended 1876 they had increased to 471, or more than 100 per ; ; lIAik 1 * ; & Session ■— , Lost, BOOTS!
