The Tuihapo Post says:—“At an early hour our reporter was given to understand that tho expiring Coun- | oillors and Mayor would offer themselves for re-election.” Undo people are nuking whore tho election will take place, and what office is vacant? “A pot shemo of my own” is what Mr. loghtfoot, one of the f.ahor candidates for the Wellington City Council, terms a proposal of his that greater publicity should bo given to meetings of the council. Ho considered that one of the local papers should bo subsidised to print a verbatim report of tho mootings, so as to enable ratepayers to keep thoroughly in touch with tho. work of the council. What" gives promise of proving a valuable industry has been brought under our notice, says the Thames Star, by Captain Norgrove. It is the treatment of the Max of tho cublingo tree. Put through ;i process somewhat similar to that of the ordinal— flax it can hardly lip distinguished from the dressed fibre. It is if anything finer, is equally as strong, and appears likolv to prove a valuable marketable commodity. A suggestion made by the Wellington Chamber of Commerce, that the Hostage on postcards should he reduced to a halfpenny, has been considered bv the Acting-Postmaster- , General, who states that, pending tho ascertaining of tho results ol tlu* re-duet-ions made in postage and. telegram rates in November last, it has been thought desirable to defer favorable consideration lor a time. “Thou shnlt not kid—war against war” is tho heading of a circular issued by tho recently-formed Wellington branch of the International Arbitration and Peace Associttion (says the Post). “Wo have days dedicated to all sorts of tilings—some important and some not,” it is stated. “Why not a day dedicated to. Peace? Hie Men of a Peace Sunday throughout the land ought to commend itself to everyone. Tho Sunday preceding or following tho assembling of the delegates to the International Peace Conference at the Hague would he most appropriate.” Tho danger of sheep dips was referred to at the last meeting of the Wellington Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The inpectoi- stated that Dr. Tiaughlin, VI.It.C.V\S.. in evidence before the recent imiuiry on arsenical poisoning by sheep dips, stated that one farmer iost lifi'v sheep after dipping. Hie dip penetrating unsound skin. Another allowed 869 sheep to run to grass 'inmediately after dipping, so that Hie dippings fell from their skins to the grass, and fatally poisoned SSO sheep, two horses, one don'key, and a large number of poultry which subsequently grazed there. The postmortem examination revealed arsenic ; p. their intestines, On tile other hand, five sheep, with perfectly sound kins, were dipped in strong solution three times without injury.
