STruly, as 'Mir Stout' says, the colony is lacing mad. The m6flt»sreliable reports. :.on the wheat crop of America indicate a shortage of 1<50,000,000 bushels.? This should prriduce a. forward movement m prices. Mr Stead's sentence, it aopears, (says She Wanganiii ':< Chronicle) was ( three TnontM imprisonment— not three years. Oiir authority ftfr saying so is not absolute, but it is sufficiently convincing to •'leave veiy'little "doubt upon the subject. Itiis>t<Pihe New Zealand #erasthaf 'We are indebted, for the discovery. Our (Contemporaryih 5 going over its files of .its) Australian papers, took the trouble i ta -compare the message referring to Mr -Stead's case with that published m New 'Zealand, and found that the former read as; follows : — " The charge against the prisoners of indecent assault upon Eliza Armstrong wa^ .tried to-day. Tip following sentences were passed :— -For ab- ; duction and assault, W. §tead, three months' imprisonment; Jacques, one 'month's imprisonment ; Bebecca , Jatrrett arid Madame Mourey, each six, months' imprisonment, the last-named with hard 'labour." r . . :Wif|tefi a correspondent:-^— u . ls it a Ij wprthy '"motive ' for a candidate for May oral honours that whether he wins or slopes, it, is a matter of very little oonße,^uerice, as'tbe, faq,t' of 'Mi candidature .will be a good' and cheap advertisement foje !hiin. . .

The Bank of Varde, Sweden, suspended on September 16, m consequence of the loss of almost its entire capital ,by fraud. .-, One of the directors of the bank is the largest defaulter. Several of the bank officials have been arrested. .Exhibits for the Indian and Colonial Exhibition to be held m London will not bp snipped later than January.

Wi owe an apology to our Bunny* ilkuji. friends for an inadvertent omission. On last Wednesday we received a l-tnr authorising an insertion m Saturday's issue of an entertainment to bo given at the local school-house this evening, m aid of the prize fund. The letter was accilentally mislaid, and the matter lost si ht of until tdis afternoon. We are sorry the omission took place, and trust the antcrtaiumeot will not suffer m consequence. - A prominent feature was to be views from" Mr Ferguson's magic lantern, win oh would be looked forward to with much pleasurable anticipation. The charge of admission, is fixed at the low rate of Is. The meeting of the Factory Company stands iwljonrnud until "next Monday, there having b<?en no attendance .this afternoon. Should it lapse than the curtain will have finally dropped on the sceue. i The available space m .the Standard Illustrated Almanac for 186 lias nearly all been applied for, very few still remaining .for which early application should be made. Our Saturday's issue was short of requiremeutti, wo regret to leurii, though it was thought an ample number had been printed! With a good puper mid acapital supplement, tho demand at our agents was exceptionally brisk. We up- i plied, early m the afternoon to one of our towu agents for the return or a few copies to make up parcels, the number i being short, but he was compelled to decline our request, not being able to sparo ■ one.

Ho ■■ thinks the prospects of the field have been seriously -retarded by opinions of non-experienced men. ; The interesting serial story •' His One | Mistake " will be concluded m Saturday's Supplement." The final scenes are capitally depicted and the denouement forms a very pleasing conclusion to the I series of incidents comprising the tale, j fye believe Mr Bray has expressed j hioiself better satisfied with the. pros- i pecjts of Pohangina during his late vwit.., thfih on any previous trip.
