At many of the diamond merchants and Weist-end nouses in London it is the duty of the porters to note ddwn the number of each cab that pu'ls up with a fare, in ease Of subsequent complaintSi shop-lifting &c. During the period from Ist April i 892, to the 3lst March 1895, there wer • exported from the colony 18,006 cwt. of fish of the value of £19,207, and oysters to the value of £8,873. Wellington people p'ide themselves on being supplied with vegetables from the Hutti. wiiereas ft very large quan ity are served from Fox on. The other day Joe Tos sent awny six sacks of green p as to Wellington, besides a quantity of o.her vegetables. A shocking tragedy occurred nt Newtown on W dnesday morning, a bricklayer named Isaiah tfake shoo-ing and seriously wounding his wife, and then committing suicide. Mrs Fake is progres-ing satisfactorily, but her condition is s ill critical. The mountain toi'rents are not easily contro lable. We have reported the me-s the Otaru has made to the Shannon road, and now we learn that the Tokomaru Creek washed three fords and one footbridge away all in two weeks. The People, published in Wellington, says : — " The Hon. R. Seddort ha* evidently made Up his mind to contest Wellington at the nxt election. He i* tired of the importunities of the West Coast rs, to whom he has been a faithful servant." This <a good. The real fact is that the hon. gentleman has provided for his strottge-t supporters, whose employment keep-" them away for the sectoral district, and the Arm ho d Mr Seddon one* had on the West Coast has got a bit shaken. It he does not stand for Wellington, he may for Otakii Shannon, as it ought to have, has a Registrar of births, deaths and marriages. In the latter line his ledger is at present a void, but rumour has it that very shortly he will be called upon to dip his p?n into the ink and make the score of much moment to two young people. An office gained by the votes of one's neighbours shou d always i c deemed honorable and worth striving for. We notice that in the Old Country the fiarl of Warwick has consented io become mayor of Warwick for a second year, and the Marquis of Exeter has been elected o the alderinanic seat in the Peterborough County Council, vacant by the death of his predecessor in the title. Because public men get more of tenor blamed than praised many shrink from the position, but the duty they owe to the State demands otherwise. Some one confidently ass. rts that there are seven millionaire editoi'3 in New York. We can just a* confidently assert that thero are none in this colony. Mr Rhodes' adv- rtisement appears in a changed form to day. TrouWe i 9 brewing if it haa n t " brewed " between a well-known settler and tin Manaw ttu Railway Company about a right-of-way. Some 40 tende-s were received by the County Councillors at Shannon for for ning two roads, one down Ihakara's Reserve, and thi! other towards Toko am The successful tenderers were Messrs Peter Richardson and T. Young Th ■ amount of the ten ers was not allowed to be publish -d. Mr Chamberlain ha 3 informed ihe Agent General th it he is wi ling to promote a joint commission to enquire into the i'de.lic cab , or give aid in wha ever -hope hey wish. He agr d that it was desirable to show America that Bri ish competition was probable. Another tittle war. T c King of Ashantee refuses to yield, and is purchasing or compelling anknees with silr oundng S ates. A draft of w'-iite t oops will accompany Coion 1 Scott's punitive c ipedition, which sai s immediately. The t-tal force araoun.s to 1400 men. All Burg sses who are desirous of serving their >own as Mayor are reminded that no minations must be in the hands of the R - turning Officer by noon of Tuesday. The annexation of Bechuanaland has been formally proclaimed. The dreadful news arrives by cable that Mr Chamberlain, replying to the Imperial Defence Committee, paid he was considering the suggestion that the colonies should contribute io the navy. That good young man must be called on to leave New Zealand out considering the plunging we have indulged in in bank matters. Shearing has commenced on the farms along the Manawatu Railway Line between Levin and T komaru. Some little difficulty about prices haa arisen. Another man who has made his fortune. The Wanganui Chronicle says: — We understand that Mr Kelow has sold his interest in the Rangitikei Advocate and contemplates going in for farming.
