THE KAIKOURA STAR. KAIKOURA, JUNE 22, 1894.

Shortest day of the year over. Letter to tbe Editor, Cable News Condensed and other matter on page 3. Magisterial, Protean Papers, and Addington Market report on page 6. The posting-box at Kaikoura House (Mr F. H. Flower’s premises) is now open for use by the public. It will be cleared daily at 4.30 p.m. A start was made on Wednesday by Mr Cooke with the Dairy Factory building, Mr C. Haswell being in charge of tbe work.

The formation of a Dramatic Club here is contemplated ; is indeed, in course of completion. We commend the case of Mrs Templeman to the consideration of the members of the Club.

Action is being taken, by School Committeemen and others, collectively and individually, in opposition to the proposed reductions in salaries in the North Canterbury Education district. The country school teachers will suffer the most. Notwithstanding that the road was in a very bad state, the south coach arrived here about 6 o'clock on Tuesday evening. Mr Creed met with a good fall of snow on parts of the road, there being fully six inches about the Green Hills. The Whale's-back portion of the road was decidedly bad, almost dangerous at the Conway end. From a pamphlet received by Mr J. A. Parsons we gather that the Brookside Patent Milker, the invention of Messrs Withell & Son, has been so far improved, and in a great measure perfected, that tbe machine now does its work admirably. It promises to be of great service, especially when the number of cows to be milked is beyond the ordinary capabilities of a staff of farm bands.

Rumour has it that an owner of a large area of Suburban land is making provision for materially aiding the dairy factory. It is stated that he is prepared, or is preparing, to assist in furnishing about 200 cows, together with the requisite land and necessary buildings, to enable milk from that number of additional cows being supplied to the local factory. Whether this be exactly the project in view, there is good reason for believing that there is something cf a highly satisfactory nature in the statements current.

Mutual Improvement next Tuesday evening. A paper will be given by Mr Walter Gibson.

When the weather cleared up, as it did on Wednesday morning, the ranges were seen to have the thickest coating of snow —and lower down than has been observed in June for many years past. Const. Smart is to be congratulated upon sheeting home a couple of charges of taking money from a drunken man, or, at any rate, one who bad not touched intoxicants for some time, and who soon after indulging became oblivious regarding what was going on around him. The sentences imposed upon the two men who eased their companion of his money, and the remarks passed by the Justices, should act as a warning to others. There has long been a suspicion here that occasionally after men bad too freely partaken of liquor—which no one should be allowed to do if it can be prevented—their pockets were rifled.

Our old friend Mr J, Inglesby, now resident at Cheviot, got himself into a little trouble tbe other day through using a cancelled stamp on a letter posted by' him. The case, which came before the S. M. Court in Christchurch, last week, is thus reported : James Inglesby was charged with affixing a penny stamp on an envelope at Cheviot on May 5, the said stamp having been previously cancelled. Mr Cresswell, who appeared for the Post O ffice authorities, said the post-master at Cheviot believed that tne breach of the Act on the part of the defendant was more tbe result of carelessness than design. In reply to the Bench defendant said he was shortsighted and was not aware that he put a cancelled stamp on the envelope. He bad unused stamps in his possession when he addressed tbe envelope, and did not know how he got the cancelled stamp. The Bench accepted defendant’s explanation, cautioned him to be more careful in the future and dismissed the case.
