Cockburn's property and no doubt will be attended by many desirous of spending a day's outing in the country. The receipts from the benefit entertainment hold on Wednesday at Marton amount to a little over £oo— highlv satisfactory result. In connection with the stage management, we omitted to mention this was in the experienced hands of Sir F. Dunne, who i.s deserving of a word of praise, as the programme went through without a single hitch, and scarcely a moment v.'as lost between the items. The combined orchestras were under the capable conductorship of Mr A. F, Sharpe.

He has not vet decided in what part of the colony he will settle. \ largely attended and enthusiastic meeting at Grcymontli, alter an address by Captain McNauHit, decided to form a Greymruth "branch of the National Dei fence League. A strong committee i w's formed, and the branch, winch j h;is alrcasdv a large membership, | promises to'be a great success. For November the AVcstporc Coal Oomnany's output of coal was 45.504 tons and export -19,65!) tons. The State colleries output was 4331 tons, export 257? tons, briquettes fi!s2 tons.

At a meeting of Fcilding Athletic Club's committee, held last evening, it was decided that the luncheon and cordial booths be conducted by the chib under the management of Mr W J. Jones. The tender of the, Fcilding Brass Baud for supply of music was accepted; and that donors of -SI is or upwards, cash or trophies, be sent complimentary tickets. AVe have received from the puoPshers. Messrs Abel & Dykes, of Auckland, a, copy of a small book entitled 30 years' experience, in colonial gardening, by Mr William Lew of Waikumote. AVe can strongly recommend this work. It contains ruauv practical hints of great value

on the growing of vegetables aud fruit. The writer has avoided diffuseness and evidently writes of what lie knows. The attendance was very satisfactory at the opening day of Marton Hose Show and visitors were deliuhted -with the choice display of blooms. A fine collect-ion of Rhododendrons was shown by Mr H.

I The full report of the show appears on the fourth page. The death occurred yesterday at his residence, Pakaraka, of Henry Wililams, ex-M.L.O. Deceased was the third son of Archdeacon Henry Williams, _ouc of the early missionaries. He was horn at Paibia in lf.v-J,"5, aud was 8-1 years of age. He was chairman of Bay of Islands County Council from 1870 to 18!)!'. He is survived by his brothers E. i\l. Williams (Hawke's Bay), aged 1)0 years; aud T. E. "Williams, of Auckland. Two voung fellows. William I. Barnes 'and 'Edward D. Foreman, were charged at Duuedin this morning with deserting from H.M.S. Pioneer at Lyttelton on December •Jlhl. Barnes said they were not deserters, but- merely leave-breakers, but would bo. deserters on Monday, making seven days after leaving the ship. It would be better for them if thev were sent north to day. They were remanded to Lyttelton, aud proceed by the midday express. An Apia correspondent recently stated that Dr. Soli', Governor of German Samoa, had tendered his resignation. Though the exact cause was not made known it was believed that the support accorded a certain candidate at the election for councillors was partly responsible, this candidate having been formerly an open antagonist of the Governor. In-' formation has uow been received that Dr. Self lias agreed to withdraw his resignation. All but eight of those who voted for the distasteful councillor have withdrew their endorsement. The Governor's decison has given groat satisfaction." Erom the evidence heard at the Cbristchurch Supreme Court last week during the hearing of a compensation ease there would appear to be some strong men iu the railway service. One" witness incidentally mentioned that ho could, with ease, push three empty trucks. The modus operandi was to pull out the piu aud then bump one waggou. into the other, which thou bumped into the next one. Tims the whole three were sot going. Another railway emploveo said that it would he au almost impossible effort for one man to start three trucks. A subsequent witness rather taxed the credulity of the Court when lie remarked that not only could lie push three empty waggons, but he could push them loaded. "He must bo a Sandow man." was the comment of a solicitor. I

in to-day's issue will be found some advertisements relating to John Hogg's celebrated whisky, which is claimed to be superior to any other on the market. From a printed reference to it we extract tho following:—"Those interested iu the technique of high class distilling will have no difneuiy in discovering why 'Loclmagar' whisky is such an unique product.commamling a higher price than auy 'other Scotch distillation on the market. In the first place the water supply of the mountains around is not only of crystal purity,

but is peculiarly suitable for distilling. All the 'barley used, too, is grown by tho farmers of Deesirle, and the "peat for drying the malt comes from Loch Muich on the Royal estate, a privilege accorded by Her late Majesty. But, as usual, the personal equation comes in, too, ami in no small degree the reputation of 'Loehuagiu - ' whisky is due. to the genius and skill of Mr 'Sandy' Taylor who, for half a century, filled the position' of distiller in chief. It is not generally known that the |

delicate processes of malting and fermenting involve constant attention, and a peculiar insight, and it was his genius in this direction that

made Mr Taylor one of the chief assets of the 'distillery. As regards the plant, it is of fclio standard pot still typo, hut this Jias very little to do with fhe exeolleiioe of the product. The average stock held is about 500.000 gallons, most of this being \\-Ju.sky undergoing the maturing process under bond in tho bonded warehouses of the firm, situated at tho distillery, and in Aberdeen, and Glasgow." Messrs H. Wollermau «.'c Co.. Wellington, are sole agents for Wellington., Tarauaki, Hawke's Bav and West Coast of the South Island.

Ycrt%<3 or dizziness is generally symptomatic of some other disease, such as Indigestion, or Torpid Liver, more frequently the latter. The patient is seized with a sudden sense of swimming in tho head, everything appears to turn rouud, ho staggers, and is in danger of falling down. Sometimes there is a fooling of sickness at the stomach, with an inclination to vomit. Various treatment lias been prescribed for this ailment, but nothing succeeds so perfectly as Impey's May Apple.

County Court Judge Fitzgerald, who awarded Lord Ashtown £l5O. compensation fcr the, bomb outrago at his shooting lodge, is rtinarkablo ' lor hi-: quaint, and at times, rather, injudicial utterances from tho < Bench. During the hearing of Lord Ashtown's claim there was applause Li the Court, whereupon he ordered the police to "hurl the ragamuffins out.of Court. " On another occasion the jury brought in a verdict which displeased the judge, and in dismissing them he said: "Good-bye, now, gentlemen, and I don't care if I never see you again.'' Miss Gladys Yauderbilt, daughter of the Ameriaean millionaire, is said to be extremely sensitive about the origin of her family. Once at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel she noticed her father, the Old Commodore, as lie was called, talking affably to a lady whom they had formerly known as "one of the tradespeople." "Why, father." protested the girl \ afterwards, "fancy talking to that j woman in a public hotel. Don't you j remember she used to sell us j poultry?" "Certainly, my dear."] responded the old man imperturb- • ably, "of course I do. I :'--..ember] voiir mother when she sold rr.-jt beer | while I peddled oysters way up in I Jersey." Miss Yauderbilt protested uo more. j The wonders of up-to-date scicnti- i tic machinery will never cease. At, an exhibition, recently, a bread- [ making machine was installed, ' which "is nothing short of marvellous, lit will mix, shape, and bake 3000 I loaves an hour; that is, 500 loaves i a minute, or 30,000 in ten hours—■enough for an army of 50,000 men. i The flour is siiot into a huge coinI partmont over the ovens, from whence it is conducted, mechanically, through a sifter into another compartment. Hero it is automatically "mixed with water, kneaded, fermented, and shaped into loaves, which slide along moving trays into great ovens. From the time tlie flour is put into the machine, uutil it comes out in the form of loaves, I it, is not touched by human hands, the whole process being worked by electricity.
