Ji'Oli READY REFERENCE. THE FENCING ACT. ERECTION OF FENCES. A fence of any of the kinds mentioned in the Second Schedule is a sufficient fence within the meaning of the Fencing Act (5.7). The occupiers of adjoining lands uot divided by a sufficient fence are liable to join in or contribute in equal proportions to the erection of a fence between suc-li lands, although such fence may not extend along the whole boundary line. But no occupier is liable to contribute to any fence which is not, as far as practicable, oontinujus thioughout its length. THE RULES OF THE ROAD. The Rule of the Road is a paradox quite; For in driving your carriage along, It you bear to the left you are ..sure to go right, If \on turn to the right you go utoiil;. But in walking the streets 'tis a diil'ereii t cube; i To the right it is light woii shojld steer, On ;ii<j left should be loft enough of clear space For the people who wish to walk there. LEGAL TENDER.

Tender of lnonew may legally be made —in the ca i eoi : bronze coins, for any amount noi exceeding Is; ill the '.-a.se of silver coins, not exceeding 10s; in tli eease of gold coins for any amount, unless coined prior to the reign of Queen Victoria (33 and 3-1 Vic. e. 10, see. -i, and Royal Proclamation Nov., 18D0). I'.uik notes are not legal tender in New Zealand, although made a first citaige on the assets or the bank oi \-r>ue '„ k Miauk N,ite Issue Act, 1593 iec. 3). sTiiiking iio.sk rrrnxG.s. Aii i;i;poi taut element of success n : Irikikng rose iMttuigs i.'i .stiuiiiie: - i* kecping tlieiu perfectly fresh- i.'i , they must lie just as fresh when placed in the soil as when cut from the trees ; v. fact, the work can not be done too r;uickly. !f once the cuttings shrivel and they shrivel rapidly—few will grow; but If quite fresh, well select"d. Mud rightly inserted, rcrv will fail. This esentia! of perfect freshness van L>e maintained when the number of cuttings is limited. THE SEASONS. Autumn begins on March 21st; AVin- . ier on June 21st (the shortest day); Spring commences on September 23rd; Summer on December '22nd (the lo.agotvt day). From observations, extend itig over a number of years, it appears that, on tho average, the hottest period is from the 21st to tho 25th of January, and the coldest from the 20th to the 21th of July. These r>er- ' iods, therefore, are the natural midsummer and midwinter. IMPOUNDING CATTLE, ETC. All trespassing cattle may be ini--1 pounded by tho occupier of the land ; on which they are trespassing; but m [ the case of inifenced land, the occupier is not entitled to claim any damages except fees for driving, or for giving notice of the detention of such J cattle, as provided in the Second Schedule. If the land is fenced, the occupier may claim the trespass rates provided ir. the Second Schedule, or he may claim and sue for tho amount of act'iai damage sustained. TWELVE O'CLOCK AT NOON N Z.
