A calf-birth extraordinary -has occurred at To Kiri, a v, d its accuracy (says the Opunake Times) is vouched for by Mr Fred, Watson. A cow gave birth to a heifer calf. Incidents are known of twin calves being born, but a period of nine weeks between the first and second birth is an occurrence remarkable for its peculiarity And whilst nature was exalted in one instance it has been depressed in another by reason of the mother of the calves going blind in the teats. The judgment of the Privy Council in regard to the New Zealand case of Clouston v. Corry, had a very curious feature. When the case came up before the New .Zealand Court of Appeal the Chief Justice dissented from hia own direction in the Court below, and condemned himself for misdirection of the jury. AH his brother Judges, however, disagreed with him on this head and held that he had rightly directed the jury. But now the Privy Council has decided that the New Zealand Chief Justice was right in bolding that he himself had been wrong and that the other New Zealand Judges were wrong in hold! -g that he had been right I It sounds a lit'le mixed.

The Choctaw Inquirer, in order to do justice to a great subject, rises to the occasion thus:—“Texas is a whopper. She is a peach. She’s the widest, broadest and longest country on earth, extending from *ast to west and also from north to south She could put Rhode Island in her vest pocket. She could swallow throe or four states like Maryland, and wash ’em down by drinking the Mississippi dry, and could digest ’em without ever having the colic. Texas is the empire state of the union, without anv Kaiser Rill for an Emperor. She is the chie f cst aramg ten thousand, and altogether lively, wild, reckless. She’s the D'-bhle on the bench. She’s o-m n f the old hhv* hen’s o'rck 'ns She’n the c >ck of the wa’k. and the democrat of the work!. She’s a wolf, aad its her day to howl."

To recover the body of an infant at Waimate (Canterbury), Constable Wade permitted himself to be lowered down a well 50 feet deep, and all that separated him from probable death was !i fruit windlass, which was liable to gh» way at any moment. Men who know the locality well were heard to declare in Waimate that they would not have done wiiat the constable did, even if a £SO reward were offered for the task.

The Dannevirke Advocate says:— “ A painful impression was created at the Rfles’ camp recently by the discovery of a blunder which, had it remained undetected, might have caused serious mischief. It appears that blank cartridges were being served out when one of the men noticed that his package was heavier than usual. Investigation revealed the fact that the parcel contained rounds of ball cartridges. It is understood that the ammunition came from Wellington, and strict enquiries •mould be nude into the whole mattei with tho view of sheeting home Ur ■responsibility for the blunder to the pioper quarter."

Charles Nuttall, who recently left Melbourne for America has established himself in a New York studio, and has received a number of commissions from ! eading American journals. In the current issue of Dr Kitchen's “ Life ” for January, Mr Nutt.dl writes a chatty article, giving various glimpses of life in New York, illustrated with a number of clever drawings, the result of sketches in the Boweryand the Ghetto. In the same number, an Australian who kuows what to write and how to write, gives the first of three articles on the colonisation of Fiji. Dr. Htchetf himself contributes a charac teristic aricle on “ The Most Imperial ■sight in England,” and under that title d. scribes a Sunday morning service in the chapel at Eton. “It was oleasant,” says Dr. Fetchett, “ to walk through the hall, the library, the inner quad-buildings on which lie the memories of ne mly five centuries, and five centuries, too, of schoolboy life.

It quite maintains its standard of excellence as a review of the world’s press, whilst its original cont ihutious make it of value as an Australian publication.
