Beneath the ••ale of men entirely jaib The pen is mightier thar the sword.

For a time at leaat there should be no complaints from the indigent and needy on the score of want of work. We are in* formed that at every station in the County .men are wanted to join the noble army of rabbit*r*. We do not know if any fixed rate of wages is laid down, but wo understand he must be a very poor man indeed who cannot earn 30s a week, with fuU run of his “ dover ” at the game. It was incidentally mentioned at the sitting of the County Council on Wednea day last, that before the next meeting both Councillors Jolly and Colclough will be on their way to the Old Country on a business trip, and that in all prob ibility they will return to the Colony in twelve months. We have rec ived copy of a speech delivered Mr J, Vl Dargavdle, M.H.R.; at the Choral Hail, Auckland, on the ‘"Proposed Australian Federation.” A lespectable looking old man named Joseph Limbrick, on the charge of attempted suicide, was tried before fudge Ward in the Distiiot Court Invercargill, and bound over to be of good behaviour for 12 months. The first contest this season between the , Blacks and Clyde Cricket Clubs will take place to-morrow on the ground of the foimer. The Clyde team will leave the Port Phillip Hotel corner at 6 a.m., so as to arrive in Blacks in time f. r the game to commence at about 10 a. m. The following will represent Clyde Bradshaw, Evans, Hogan, Holden, rVI ‘Connochie, Miles, Mac george, Morrison, Stevens, Tuomson. Voak. In the Government Gazette of the 12th inst., the appointment of Mr R. Keele as Postmaster, Clyde, is gazetted as from Ist inst, I At the annua] meeting of the Mamototo Flour Mill Company last week, a dividend of 10 per cent, was declared. . At the R.M.

When Sir John Robsrtsvi wis last in office, (says rEgles to the Atutralatian) Mr M‘Slummock part him a visit, bis object being to obtain for himself a Government appointment. Now, rumour has sail) (and rumour, you know, never lies) that Sir John of Clovelly is not a blue-ribbon man, or, at any rate not a begotted abstainer. He is also supposed to be free in the use of expletives when he desires to be emphatic and is resolved not to be misunderstood. Mr. M‘S had the same peculiarities, and, somehow, Sir John, who expected the visit, kn«w the fact. So, after the applicant had set forth bis own personal merits and piivate virtues, Sir John, with a stern air, thus addressed him. “ But I hear, sir,” that you drinkget drunk I am told ; and by , sir that won’t do.” “I armit taking a drop now and again," pleaded M‘S., “but I never get drunk. Fact is. Sir John, yon hear so much about getting drunk that, you can’t believe half cf it 1 have been told; Sir John, thateven you get drunk sometimes, but, by , I don’t believe a word of it I” “That’ll do, sir. Come round and see me to-morrow.” He visited the genial old gentleman next day and now draws the Queens pay. A i< act Worth Knowing Are you suffering with Consumption, Coughs, Severe Colds settled on the Breast, Fneumouia or any disease to the Tbroat and Lungs ? If so go to your druggist and get a bottle of Bose dee’s German Syrup. The people are going wild over its success, and Druggist all over our country are writing us of its wonderful cures among their cus tomers. It has by far the largest sale of an y remedy, simply because it is of much value in ail aff otioua of this kind.’ Chronic cases quickly yield to it. Druggists recoimnend.it ana physicians prescribe it. If you wish to try its superior virtue, get a Sample Bottle for 6d. Large size bo tie 3d. 6d. Throe does will relieve any case. Try it. The crew of the Swedish barque Natal have imprisoued the captain at Brisbane for their wages. It will be remembered that a mutiny occurred on board this vessel at. sea, when the captain's son was ki led an,i thrown overboard, the captain subsequently shooting one of the murderers. Strange to I say it hj s been fouu I impossible to bring! the remainder of the mutinous to trial in I the colony, 1

Any doubts as to the profit derivable from frnit-growinr in Otago can bo solved by a visit to Mr J.J. Pryor’s establishment, George street. For some time past large ' piles of cases containing .fruit of various : kinds may have been seen in stock, and j supplementary supplies have been received I once an ! twice weekly. The appearance ; of the cases would convey the impression I that they wen, importations, Untonexamit nation each will be seen to have the lettered address, “ From John Tamblin, Coal Creek,” or “From Joseph Tarablyn, Coal Creek.” ATe. learn, from Mr Pryor—who has done a great deal to encourage the industry—that the Messrs Tamblyn are noted growers in the Te'viot district of this prov•ii.ee and that ha receives fruit from them weekly to the value of £l5O. The cases contained varietl s of the following:—Peaches, apricots, nectarines, pears, plums (seven qr eight sorts), apples, walnuts, and several kind* of grapes. Of the apples, Mr Pryor declares the ribeiona much superior to the noted Hobart aorta It is gratifying to know that, notwithstanding the heavy supply, Mr Pryor frequently finds it difficult to fill-orders on hand. The Melbourne ‘Age’ reports that a party of American trappers recent'y arrived at Harrow, in the Western district, having with them eleven horses, eighth ferrets, and about a mile and a-balf of netting Their plan of operations is to spread their netting and drive all the animals into it, forming of course with netting, men and horses, a large circle working towards the netting. They capture the animals alive, and send them to the Melbourne market. To land owners troubled with rabbits their terms are very reasonable, and they ask nothing for taking the rabbits off the ground, but grass fur their horses free and meat to purchase at a reasonable price. - Fueb and Bros,—Beetles, insects, ants, roaches, bed-bugs, rats, mice, gophers, lack-raboits, cleared out by *• Raugh on Hals.' The N- Z. Drug (Jo., General Agents, A clergy man in a neigh boaring colony, a few days ago, acknowledged in a newspaper certain contributions towards the erection of a church, returning thanks therefor. But being a practical man and familiar with his Concordance, he wound up with this text from I. Coro nicies xxii. 14and thou m iycst add thereto.” Could he have said anything more appropriate.
