The idea of avenging France for the losses it BUBtained in 1870 is said by a Paris paper to be by no. means popular among , young mem their opinion is Bammed up in ihU wi3e : We wew born after the war of 1870, know nothing about it, and think it is best to let bygones be bygones. Methodism embraces throughout the world adherents to the number of 25,000,---000. Hard luck! It ia only the other day that Mr Douglas Gardner leased a farm near Aahurst to get away from the water at Faiaka, and he had not been there many days before a fire ran over the place and destroyed the fences and the feed. It is an instance of " 'E don't know where c are." How the teetotallers would have rejoiced—had they been- there— but the place being a public house, why of course they would not be. At a flre at an hotel near Woe, Victoria, the supply of water was exhausted, and beer was used to extinguish it. It seems to me (says Mr Labouohere in Truth) that dvocates of teetotalism make a great mistake when they indulge in such outrageous remarks as the following, which I take from a speech delivered by the Rev* L. M. Isitt at a rccfent meeting at Liverpool : "Ha confessed before God that, great as was his hatred of slavery, he would rather be a a'ave owner, a kidnapper upon the African Coast, than he w»uld sell this poison to his fellow-countrymen for common consumption." It is, of course, a matter of taste. If this reverend gentleman would sooner be a slave dealer, than a publican, I can only say that I do not admire his choice. To my mind, moreover, such language as ho used is !ike!y to do the cause of temperance far more harm than good. ,_-No one wants telling that we are having most extraordinary weathe/, yet it i 3 worth while recording that on Thursday snow was lying on the ranges and low down. Peculiar for the beginning of February. In a paddock at Motoa Mr Langdon has a very fine crop of oats which if ripened shou d yield 70 to 80 bushels to the acre. He has contracted with Mr Ju ian for the reaping and stacking, and a start will be made in a few days. At Wanganui Sir Robert Stout explained that he was resigning his seat purey for private reasons and in the interests of his family. As to a bargain that he was to get payment from anyone, that was a fabrication. The bush fires in Victoria show no signs of abating. Mr J. A. Henderson, poultry expert, died of pleurisy supervening on influenza. He had only been ill a week. The Lincoln rams at the Palmerston Fair sold fairly well at prices ranging from one to six guineas. The stud rams went from seven to twenty guineas. Messrs Abraham and Williams hold a stock sa!e at Shannon on Friday. The Good Templars gave an entertain* ment on Thursday evening but, possibly from an oversight, the usual courtesy of an invitation was noi sent to this office, so we are unable to give a report, , The Te Anau, which arrived at Wellington from Sydney on Thursday, met the full force of the southerly gale on Tuesday morning. The deck was constantly awash, and one sea flooded the saloon. There were 23 horses on. board for Ounedin, of which 14 were down at one time, >nd~ th^ crew had great difficulty in getting them on their legs. Tin worst part of the gale lasted six or seven hours. In Tatteraall's Sweep on the Launceston Cup, the first prize, £2700 was won by Hearn, of Mo'.esworth Street, Wellington.
