There was a slightly animated finale to the meeting of the City Council last evening. At about half-past eleven Councillor Devine withdrew a. motion standing in his name on the order paper, understanding, as he afterwards explained, that no further business would be taken, and that the council would adjourn. Councillor Fletcher, however, proceeded to address the council in reference to. the motion next, in order on the paper. This .aroused the ire of Councillor Devine, and drew, from him an instant protest. It was disregarded, and he tackled the situation by le.iving his seat and the chamber. There being no longer a quorum present, tho council had perforce to adjourn. "I call that a shabby trick," remarked Councillor Fletcher.

Carters and driyors may not be awaro of the fact that it is illegal, in feeding a horse, to placo the bag on tho ground. The reasou for - this is that as tho horse eats down it may not bo able to reach tho food at tho bottom of the bag, and very often' the sides fall in in such a manner as to prevent tho animal getting at tho feed at all. Tho proper method of feeding a horse in the street is to place, the feed in a noso-bag, which is slung over tho horse's head. In this way ho cannot be robbed of his meal, anil neither can the wind carry off half the chaff, as is not infrequently tho case when tho feed-bags are placed on the ground. There has been a laxity in this regard among the vehicle-drivers of Wellington, which is not to be allowed to continue.
