Manawatu Herald. TUESDAY, JAN. 15, 1895.

The s.s. Queen of the South arrived in port on Saturday a full ship, having 600 sacks of wheat for Messrs Richter, Nannestad k Co. and 600 sacks of wheat for the Messrs Chamberlain. She left yesterday afternoon with a full load of wool and tallow. On Sunday morning as the Messrs Carter's milk cart waa on the road to the creamery, the shaft horse dropped down dead. The heat is supposed to have affected itß heart. Another horse waß quickly obtained and the milk arrived only an hour late. The other day the Liberal Government after closing the Printing Office for some two weeks or more, during which there were certain publio holidays, forgot to pay the persons employed therein full time. If private persons did such a thing they would be accused of trying to evade the law. Liberality is again to be displayed towards the publio by a Liberal Ministry at the cost of their employees. The Wellington Government organ says " The business of the Telegraph Department has increased to such an extent that it has been found necessary to open the principal offices in the Colony for ordinary business between 5 and 7 p.m The ohange will be of material convenience to the public, and it will at the same time entail no additional cost." How so ? If employees have to work from 5 to 7 o'olock extra there must be increased cost; unless they are not to be paid. Duncan Calvert Monteith, going by the name of H. Brandon, was arrested on Thursday in Palmerston and brought before the Justices Court on Friday on the charge of defrauding Henry Border by means of a valueless cheque. He was remanded for a week. The cheque was for £_ odd and purported to be made out by Mr John Kebbell. It appears there are other charges pending against the ac- j oused. | Messrs Gorton and Son hold a stock sale j pt Awahuri on Friday.

fr— A general meeting of tbe Foxton Lawn Tennis Cleft will be held at the Masonic Hall on Friday evening. Mr Eddy's abilities have not been so far recognised by the South Eastern Railway Company's shareholders tis to cause then, fo appoint him their chairman. Much disCus.ion is going on about our ©olonial "treasurer desiring to visit London On private business. Some papers say he will be missed, the government papers suggest he will not be, especially as tbe Premier will attend to his department in his absence. It is asserted that Mr Ward should resign, the Wellington Government Organ thinks no one will begrudge him tbe necessary leave of absence on fall pay. Ministers take so many holidays At the expense of the State to make us used to ih »nd ft might be, better for the colony if all Ministers would go and leave ob in peace; An advertiser wants to bay or lease an 8 or 10 h.p. engine and saw milling plant. The genus larrikin is unfortunately yet to be found in Foxton. The other night some of these sons of the Evil One entered a flower garden in the Avenue and wantonly tore up and destroyed certain plants. Why? The Magistrate's Court will be held on Thursday. Something of interest to the ladies is likely to appear as an inset in Thursday's paper. In the third international oricket match at Adelaide the Englishmen put up 124 runs in their _rst innings and the Australian had 145 for four wickets* The late C_ar of Russia had the ambition to be, not a great sovereign) but td be the sovereign di a great pßople, whose reigrl was unstained by a single war. In Scotland women have won another victory in connection with medical training. Colorado first, New Zealand where ? After the blow of Ihe Premier's about this colony being first in giving women the suffrage, it is unfortunate to find thatjin Colorado they are eligible to sit in the legislature. An English papor says "it is not to be expected that New Zealand will long persist in excluding women from the Colonial Legislature. ' Chitrai, the scene of the murder of the Mehtar, by his brother, is a town in Northern India, situated on the river Kooner, and close under the Hindu Kush mountains. It apprars lo be situated in a mountainous Country, and to tlie south west of the town lies Oabul and Afghanistan. Messrs Linton and Mowlem, of Palmsrston, have dissolved partnership, Mr Linton taking over the business on his own account. The drought has completely broken at Coolgardie, and three inches of rain has fallen. All will now be able to get a wash, which would be needed. Our would-be representative, Mr Donald Fraser; has written a long letter to the Advocate ab >ut the Horowhenua Block and the last election. In it he desires the electors to look upon him as more of a Statesman than they did, as in mentioning his wonderful conversion io the Government side he asks " Did the British public, or any of his friends or supporters cast reflection upon Lord John Russell when on the 22nd November, 1845, he addressed a public meeting in which he stated he had changed his mind upon the greatest political question with which the Briiish Parliament has ever had to deal ?" As Mrs Malaprop would say " comparisons are odorous." " The Labour Laws of New Zealand " is the title of a neatly-bound and portable little volume which is just being issued from the Government Printing Office. It deals with the laws passed by Parliament. To be complete, there should be an addition made to it, containing the law according to the Hon. Mr Reeves whioh, judging from reported interviews, appears to b? s >mewhat different. The Australasian says:— What may prove to be Victoria's opportunity is the falling off in the number of pigs in the TJnitid States. The returns show a reduction of about seven millions below the highest point reached of lale years, and thi. with a rapidly-increasing population. As pigs are now slaughtered at a younger age than formerly, it follows that a larger stock is required if the United States is to keep up its export and home consumption With our vast dairying industry and mild climate there is no country in the world that can raise sound, healthy pigs more economically than Victoria. The pigs can be produced readily enough ; what is wanted is the proper management of the raw material after it has left the farmer's hands. W. A. Hunt, one of the pioneers of the Thames Goldfields, has pegged out a fine reef at Dundas. The bulk of the samples taken from the reef — which is over 12ft wide— have been treated at Coolgardie and yielded nine ounces to the ton. Mr Thomas Lawson Thompson, of Johnsonville, is appointed an officer under the Fisheries' Conservation Act for the Counties of Hutt, Horowhenua, Wairarapa North and South, Pahiatua, Oroua, Mana* watu, Kiwitea and Pohangina. The decided aotion of the Midland Railway Company in bringing its dispute with the Government to the isßue of arbitration, certainly raises, says the Post, another serious obstacle to Mr Ward's intended departure from the colony, or at least to hU leaving the Treasury in charge of Mt Seddon. Certainly the most effective medieine in the world is Sanders and Son's Eucalypti Extract. Test its eminently powerful effect in Coughs, Colds, Influenza ; the relief instantaneous.

Trust in this approved article and eject all others. — [advt.] The announcement made in another parof this paper that a sale of greater magnitude than ever yet attempted by Te Aro House is now being held should arrest the attention of everyone in this part of the Colony. Te Aro House has long held the premier position as tbe "Leading Family Drapery Warehouse," and further developments are now taking place to inaugurate the year 1895. Early in the year Mr Smith admits to a partnership in his business a commercial gentlemen who bas long been associated with the London buying for Te Aro House. To thoroughly reduce and prepare the stock previous to the partnership stocktaking sweeping reductions will be made in all Departments, the stock must be reduced by £15,000, and this splendid Drapery Stock at Te Aro House will be offered, to the public at most tempting prices.
