There is only one WOLFE’S (the original) SCHNAPPS. There was considerable excitement at New Plymouth on Monday, when it was reported that oil was freely flowing from the petroleum bore. Upwards of four hundred gallons were pumped in twenty-five minutes. The oil is a splendid sample, completely free from water, but the sand in the bore has not yet been quite cleared off. The rods will be again lifted to allow of fitting new washers on the plunger. The pressure of gas is increasing greatly.

It was ridicule that Killed the bill for the whipping of wife-beaters, which was defeated at Washington by 163 to 157 votes. The Telegraph says that one representative declared that mors women were in pain because they were not married than because they were beaten. Bachelors were really causing more suffering among the fair sex than all the wife-beaters. Another representative proposed an amendment directing that men who failed to support their wives should bo put on the rack, that wife-deserters should be pinched with red-hot tongs, and that unmarried men above 20 should be pilloried unless they promised to take a wife.

A c isa of considerable interest to friendly societies was decided by Mr Brabant. S-M, at Napier yesterday. The Dispensary Society sued a member of the Oddfellows for the cost of certain proprietary medicines supplied on the doctor’s prescription. The defendant held that under the lodge rules the dispensary was compelled to provide afl medicines free, but the dispensary rules showed an exception in the cares of all patent medicines. The Magistrate held that the dispensary rule was clear on the point, and gave judgment for the amount claimed. An appeal will probably be made. The " Opotilii Guardian " announces on reliable authority that the Government is about to acquire a block of naive land of good quality in tha vicinity of Torere, consisting of 20,000 acres. This block has been voluntarily offered to the Government by the natives themselves. Mr Carroll promptly accepted the offer, and will take immediate steps to acquire the property for the Crown. The importance bf this transaction to Opotiki, remarks the “ Guardian," will at once be generally recognised. The Government has a block adjoining the one to be acquired further inland of about 15,000 acres, making 35,000 available for settlement. Magistrates are very particular about ss--uing prohibition orders on the application of persons who are not to be prohibited. Recently a Southern Magistrate asked the applicant if he was sure the person for whom a prohibition order was sought was injuring his health or wasting his substance. " Well," said the applicant, “ I don’t know so much about that, but he gets drunk and lies in the gutter all night, he’s pawned everything barring two chairs and a table, his wife has gone to live with her mother, neighbours have taken charge of the three children, he set fire to his stable last week, and the doctor says h - is consumptive. Of course, If you think he ain’t doing no harm, you can go on letting him have beer,’’ The Bench made the order.

The captain of the Salvation Army at Greyrnouth writes to the Grey River Argus as follows“ While on my visiting rounds during the Easter holidays amongst others I called to see an old couple who live some distance out of town. The old gentleman has been out of hea’th for some time, and is ye r in a weak state, and while there I found some young men who had ridden out to see if they could be of any service t ' him, and to my delight they were at if with maul and wedges, helping n friendly neighbour to burst up a winter supply of firewood. Then they harnessed up a horse to a sledge and drew the wood to the house. This, I think, is a very commendable piece of holidaymaking."
