The funeral of the late Mrs D. D.

The chief mourners were Mr Macnicol and Mr A. W. Edwards, husband and brother of deceased, respectively. The Rev R. F. Macnicol, father-in law of deceased, and the Rev S. Griffith, conducted the service at the grave-side. Thefuneral arrangements were in the hands of Mr Dtvey. .

We have to call the attention of our Presbyterian friends to the notice in another column of a Farewell Social, to be given to Mr Wright, 8.A., on the eve of his departure South. The following is the team chosen "to play for Te Aroha against Waitekauri on Saturday next r Pavitt, senr. (capt), Pavitt, ji\, Lewis, Burlace, Hirst, Lipsey, Bygrave, Pilling, Bell, Eigar, and Timmins.

Our report of Miss Powell’s address, which formed a marked feature of the N.Z. Alliance meeting on Monday evening in the To .Aroha Wesleyan Church, is unavoidably held over on account of pressure on our spec'', j A very instructive and valuable contribution to our columns in - the form a letter from the pen of the Rev R. J. Wright, M.A., Te Aroha, on the work of the. British and. Foreign Bible Society appears in another column of this issue. Mr Wright speaks as one having authority bis father, we believe, having long been connected with the head-quarters of the Society, Bibb House, 146, Queen Victoria street. London, E.C.

. A tramway about a quarter of a mile long baa been made from the Grand Result S.Chto the County Ira. -A and it will not be long bef.re it is put in use for conveying qua’tz from this property to be treated by the Rev Joseph Campbell at his reduction works in Te Aroha.

The nffi< era of the Northern Steamship Oampany will, from this week, appear in uniform. For Coughs and Colds take Wood’s Great Peppermint Imre. 1/8 and 2/8. At Gore recently Mr. E. S. Hawkins, S.M., disbelieved the evidence given by a woman named S.irali Buch anan, in a civil case in which her husband was sued for wages, and committed her for trial at the next sittings of the Supreme Court at Invercargill. He felt,.he said, the gravity of sending anyone for tria< for perjury, and he deeply regretted the Government or the Legislature did not deem it wise that the Magistrate could deal summarily with such cases, for it was a serious matter to send anyone for trial for perjury, where the penalty might be seven years’ imprisonment. At Monday’s sitting of the Police Court, Auckland, Mr. Theo. Cooper, who was defending a prisoner brought before the Court on a charge of theft, took occasion to refer adversely to the practice indulged in of bringing prisoners, who at the time wore serving sentences for other off- nces, into court in prison garb. Counsel expressed the opinion that such a course might tend to have a detrimental effect in cases, and was unfair to the accused. The annual general meeting of the members of the Gordon Special Settlement took place on Saturday last, and the following were elected to form the Committee for the ensuing year Messrs Montague, chairman; Squirrel], secretary; Osborn, treasurer; Newsome, Foughey, Brady, Davry. It will be seen by the Church Notices that special services will be held in St. Mark’s Church by the Rev J. Campbell on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Tiie service on Good Friday evening at 8 will be o-f a very striking character. After a short introduction, consisting of prayer and praise, the lights will be lowered, and by means of a powerful lantern, pictures 10 feet in diameter, will be thrown upon the screen and addresses given by the preacher. These pictures are copies of the world - renowned paintings of Carlo Dolci, Leonardo da ■ Vinci, Rembrandt, Rubens, Bore and others, which Mr Campbell has col- ; lected during his travels, and they illustrate in a manner more forcible than words the chief events in the Passion of our Lord. The Privy Council has granted Mrs Develin, the plaintiff in an action for damages from the Waihi-Silverton Company in [respect of her husband, who was accidently billed in the mine, leave to appeal in 1 forma pauperis,’ and the papers will be sent to England and the case determined without, cost to the plaintiff. We have little doubt that it was owing to Mr Seddons’ representations in this case that the Council was able to arrive at the laudable resolution of hearing Mrs Develin’a case free of cost to that unfortunate lady. The usual eost in such a case would probably mount up to anything between £SOO and £IOOO-. This, is why it is so difficult to fight a corpc ration. Having the means a corporation will carry a case from court to court until the plaintiff, win or loose, is ruined. A corporation, however, on their side, can plead that they represent the widow and the orphan whose sole means of support are derived from investments in the business it controls, and that it would be negligence on their-part to allow a dangerous precedent to be established against them on a question affecting their rights and trading privileges, and which might at any time crop up to the corporation’s serious detriment and the shareholders’, who can ill afford it, loss.

From Mr John Evans we have received a long and very interesting letter, on a subject which has led to much discussion amongst local apiarists just now. The dread disease of |‘foul brood,’ which is [causing such trouble in almost all parts of Australia, is by no means, uncommon in New Zealand. From the conversation of the local bee-keepers at the Waitoa sale on Friday, amongst :, whom, some agitation was excited by a rumour that a number of hives were being offered for sale ia which some years ago the bees died of foul brood. From the tone of their conversation it y?as evident that the disease was regarded as incurable. It appears, however, that science has provided a remedy which consists in administering a medicated sugar syrup, in which phenol appears to be the active ingredient. This syrup is given in two ways by (1) the Chesshire method, and (2) by the Muth method.

Phenol is a hydrocarbon produced in <he distillation of coal tar, and may be procured at Mr Robson’s. We are requested to publish a letter on t’ & subject of the administration of tho cure, written by a Mr Bouney, of Adelaide,, which Mr Evans enclosed for our perusal. Although we have not space in this issue to do so, or even to epitomise the South Australian expert’s letter, it being of some length, we hope to be able to insert it in our next issue. We have not space to do more than reassuie the beekeepers of Te Aroha, if, indeed, the majority of them are not already acquainted with the fact, that foul brood is a disease susceptible of cure when properly treated.
