Tho Cromwell Argus says that tho mortality amongst horses all over tho Molyncaux district is exceptionally heavy. From causes as yet unexplained, oven those who taka scrupulous care of their stock fall victims to substantial losses in horses. Some say that tho sand may be the cause of much mischief in the direction indicated ; others that the snow water is accountable to some extent for tho evil which has hitherto been a substantial tax on the carriers. Tho Canterbury 'War Fund has been formally wound up. After dealing with a sum exceeding JE15.000, tho executive found itself with a balance in hand of £8 17s 7d. How to devote this balance it was for some time uncertain, but ultimately it was resolved that the money should bo handed to the Jubilee Memorial Fund, a fund whose objects include the provision of a memorial to Canterbury men who fell in South Africa. Thus the balance of tho war fund will not be diverted from its proper purposes. Greymoutb, like Glasgow, is placed between a ditch and a coalfield, and, like Glasgow, is proceeding to mako the port a 11 full-blossomed " tidal river, and there is every reason to believe that success will crown the efforts being made. Twentyyears ago, the average depth on the Grey bar was eight feet, and on one occasion it was so bad that 50 men with long-handled shovels were put on by two of our local merchants (Messrs Kennedy and Glenn) to dig out the channel. Now the depth is 22 feet. This is the result of 20 years’ work and an expenditure of £250,000. Glasgow started harbor improvements 150 years ago, and has spent £40,000,000. A good deal less outlay and a great deal less time would make our port better than Glasgow. —Greymouth Star. Only 5s Gd !
