CO-OPERATIVE IN COMBINATION.

The Waikato Times of the 22nd ult says:

The announcement made by us yesterday that the Thames Valley Cooperative Dairying Company Limited has virtually decided to merge with the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company Limited will, we are sure, be received with gratification by the suppliers of both companies. The combination will make the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company Limited the largest concern of its kind in the world. It will have an output equal to about one-third of the whole ot' New Zealand, and it is .anticipated that it_s tuvnover fur the eivuini: will reach the stupendou" figure of >::i,i km 1,000. Being conduc'.ed on purely co-operative lines it means the best possible price for the suppliers, whij't special advantages will accure.

• It w;ts held in a case in New Zealand that a woman whose husband was continually, day after day, week after week, making groundless charges ofv misconduct against her, and thus rendering her miserable, had sufficient cause to leave his house," his Honor Mr. Justice Herdman. said in the Supreme Court at Wellington. "But when a woman marries a man she marries him for good or ill. Mere tits of temper, threats of suicide, petulance of manner, rudeness. are not sufficient reasons to justify a woman in taking that step. If they were, women would be leaving 1 their husbands every day in the week, and this Court would have a busy time listening to petitions for dissolution of marriage. The sanctity of the marriage tie must be observed." ,
