The recent' warm weather has* brought- on the grass splendidly, in the Lower Valley (Wairarapa). A miner named John. Birch cut his throat at Helensburgh, New South Wales, and died subsequently. At tlis Pohangina County Council meeting, during a discussion on the small bird nuisance, it was stated that some fowls consumed the poisoned wheat without any injurious effect, and appeared to relish it. At Cuff’s Harbor, New South Wales, while a party of men were felling a tree, one man (Edward Fuller) was killed, and his mate (A. Gower, of Coromba) was seriously injured. The tree fell on Fuller and carried the scaffolding on which Gower was standing to the ground. Why is money lacking for a Gis-borne-Rotorua line, a Paeroa-Waihi, a North of Auckland Extended ? The solution' is easy. The Govdrum'dnt has been using the name of the colony to endorse expenditures of loan money which of themselves would have obtained no financial assistance in London. So long and so often has this been done that there is now a difficulty in obtaining funds for the most necessary and desirable works. We have to pay highly, to be content’'with little, because we have neglected, and still neglect, the rudiments of business in our borrowings and our spendings alike.—Auckland Herald. -
