Over the leader will be found an altered advertisement of Mr W. B. Khodes. We are in receipt of the first number of Hansard of this Session. The colour of the cover is changed from salmon to blue, to commemorate, so Mr Pirani suggests, the ohange in the Premier's views on the liquor question. This is good. " The heiress's consort and the landlady's husband are not as a rule examples of masculine independence. But their lot is dignified compared with that of the man who is wedded to an Emancipated Woman." Passers-by must notice the excellent show of garden seeds in Messrs P. Hennessy & Co.'s windows. . >

An American authority recommends bran for the scour in lambs. One of the secrets of successful potato growing is to plant fresh seed every two or three years. Some more nonsense about Mr J. G. Ward. " Thirty-three carters of Dunedin have presented Mr Ward with an address expressing sincere Sympathy, and the conviction that he would come out all right in ■j the end despite the unscrupulous efforts of political and private enemies." Just bell hold, even these 33 carters have been educated up to the belief that " political and private enemies " mado the Ward Farmers' i Association borrow £30,000 on oats that were never in store. I An exchange says — Mr Jay has brought back to Greymouth African orders for about 3,000,000 feet of tirobdr for mining purposes. We learn, says the Post, that a motion will be made this week in Banco, notice of which has been filed, to commit tot Contempt of Court the manager and the printer of the New Zealand Times, for comments on the case of Crabbe v. New Zealand Times. Last new thing in potatoes. A large s^d firm offer to send potato eyes by post, * arid guarantee them to travel safely. It certainly enables a change of seed to be I obtained economically. i The repression of the tick plague in Queensland promises to prove much more difficult than/was expected. The authori- i ties have received numerous convincing ! proofs that the plague infests and is dis- > geminated by wild ducks and other birds, and also different species of wild animals. It has also been discovered that, when infected, the cattle plunge into thickets, and are thus spread. t Mr Ward's resignation of his seat in the House of Representatives, as well as of his place in the Ministry, we considered to be inevitable from the moment the disclosure ' of his insolvency was made. A favourable decision by the Court would not havo altered our opinion in the slghtest degree. . ... In the interests of the Oolony, of the Liberal cause, and of Mr Ward himself, that step should have been taken much earlier. Oil Mr Ward's own admission before the Court, it ought to have been taken 1 at latest in August last, when he must have realised the hopelessly involved condition of his own and his Association's affairs." — Lyttdlton Thne3. Though the Otaura stream at Shannon ' is silting up, the Wirokino Eoad Board is so frightened of litigation that they decided at their last meeting to act upon the legal advice received, and let matters take their J course. Happy this for the man whose j property may be damaged. Mr John Davies, as chairman, has promised to see to the Paiaka road complained of by Mr R. Gardner. Some large blocks of stone were brought - down by the train from the Gorge to repair the filling at the south end of the wharf. Extraordinary damage to roads. Under ! this heading the Wirokino Road Board ■" have decided that Messrs Rogers and R. It. Dunn be requested to pay for three days' ! filling ruts and one and a half days' metalling on the Horowhenua West road in satisfaction for damage done by their timber drays. * The Municipal Conference'has agreed to the following resolution :— " That the 5 Local Government Bill does not meet with the approval of this conference, and that the Government be requested to re-intro--5 duce the Municipal Corporations Consolidation Bill as promised to this Association."

Also 1 with knowing that one, John Ahem, was a . prohibited person under section 167 of The Licensing Act, did procure liquor for the , said John Ahem, contrary to the Act. Messrs Loveday Bros, are inviting ten- * ders for the erection of an addition to ■ their drapery store. Mr J. R.

Trust in this approved article aud ejeot all others. — [advt.] One of the drawbacks of country life, at least to the small settler, is undoubtedly the inoreased price he has to pay for any articles of clothing or general drapery, by reason of the extra charges for freight or carriage. This drawback need exist no longer, for extra charges are done away with under the new parcel system which has been inaugurated at Te Aro House, Wellington. Under this system any of the parcels advertised will be sent to any address in New Zealand, post free, the prices charged being exactly the same as those at which the goods are sold over the counter in Wellington. As may be imagiued, however, this liberal offer is only extended to cash customers, and all orders for advertised parcels must be accompanied by cash for the amount, before the order can be executed at Te Aro House, Wellington. In illustration of the system we will give an example. Take for instance No. 7 parcel, which contains 7 yards of double width stylish fancy check tweed -, 2 dozen buttons and silk and twist to match ; 2 yards of body lining and 4 yards of skirt lining. This complete parcel will be sent, post , free, to any address on receipt of 15s 9d, j i from Te Aro House, Wellington, ' i
