THE GOLDEN BAY ARGUS. (UPHOLD THE RIGHT.) SATURDAY lst December, 1883.

A A quiet unassuming lirtie industry is Iveoghans Paint Manufactory at the Anahau; lint we are glad to say that through the push and enterprise of the proprietor it is gradually drawing ahead, and already this paint is in demand in the Nelson Christchurch and Dunedin Markets, the material has been tested by experts, who all pronounce it an excellent commodity and most suitable for the purpose: we have therefore much pleasure in drawing the attention of the trade and those interested to the Testimonials received by Mr Keoghan, and which are published in another column.

We are sorry to hear that many of our subscribers complain that they do not get their paper regular!:-, at present we are under a compliment to the Packers, who kindlv deliver them, and t iking into c.moderation the bad weather and the wretched state at the Tracks we cannot expect them to go out of their way to deliver them, as it is we are exceedingly obliged to them, and trust sh irtv to no in a position to run an express through ihe district every Saturday morning.

We congratulate the shareholders in the Success Company on the successful flouting of their venture: the shares are all taken up and the company iu p rocess of registration, there was quite a run on the shares in Reefton.

It is reported that gold bearing stone has been struck in both drive and shaft in the Johnstons United Bedstead Company, we are glad to hear it, and we are quite certain that Quaitz Mining will revive during the coming year.

What a picture of one of the most striking features of modern life is aiibrdC't (writes the Pall Mall Gazette) by the simple statement that no fewer than 22;J0 trains leave the Lbtuion stations every 24 hours. Every hour between 10 in the morning- and 1 1 at night 1060 trains start for the various inilwny termini in L union that is, at. the rate of 120 and more every hour, or 2 a minite all day long, of the 2200 trains despatched daily, 1750 serve the suburbs and a suburban region of 30 miles around the city. 15 leave for Scotland and Ireland, and 10 for the Continent 212 trains start from Victoria-street, 321 fro//? Jdverpuolstreet, and 351 Broad-street such at least, is the calculation of the statistician of the Revne Genarale des CUemins de Fer, from which Uiese fi<r—nres are taken. What a living tide thus surges daily in and out of the great heart of the Empire, for as many trains arrive as depart, and the motion to and fro is never stilled. We are sorry to hear that diptheria is very prevalent in Motueka and that in no less than seven cases the disease has proved fatal.
