, A minister recentlj' visited a local Sabbath School, and was questioning the children. “Who owned the grave where our Lord was’placed?” queried the man of cloth. No answer was forthcoming. To help them on he' said, “ now who owns the local cemetery ?” One little fellow immediately held up his hand, and snapped his fingers, while his eyes bulged forth like poached eggs. “Well sonny, you tell the class,” said the minister. “ Please sir, Mr Jonson.”—To those not well up in local history, we may mention that Mr Jonson is our undertaker.

At Wellington on Wednesday, the Chief Justice gave judgment in the case of J. Reed v. G. Simpson, in which the parties were partners in a flaxmilling business at Waitatapia, near Bulls, and Reed had issued a writ for dissolution of partnership and for accounts. Five days afterwards Simpson gave a bill of sale to Levin and Co. over almost the whole of the partnership assats, and the question was whether that bill of sale was valid so far as the share of the assets belonging to the plaintiffs was concerned. His Honour was of opinion that the case was not brought within the class of cases in which estoppel arose. The bill of sale only assigned the goods that were owned by Simpson. The question had been raised that as the business was a paying one up to a certain date and from that date very small profits were earned, whether the court was to assume that larger profits must have been earned. His Honor was of opinion that the receiver could not allow a certain amount of interest on Reed’s capital on the assumption that it was earned, It would be his duty to ascertain what in fact was earned qnd how Simpson disposed of the money. Five guineas costs were given plaintiff, against Levin and Co., and costs of the action were deferred. Women who require a stimulant should try WOLFE’S SCHNAPPS. Lives of some great men remind us That we will, if we are wise, Leave our modesty behind us And get on and advertise.
