Mr Faull's idea of the Auckland Education district boundaries, and their 0 iver Twist tendencies: They go to tho N' rth Cape in one direction, to the East Cape in another, and hang me if I don't think taey'll go down to the South Pole next.

There was a large altemlance of fanners, Mr H. J. If. Okey presiding. Our report will appear m to-morrow's ISnUf. Mr Kyle, <i judge at the '.oral slow, tels a good story of an erst-.v.iik fellow-judge at an agricultural show. tie asked tne raconteur how li • got the joints of the cattle. —Mr Kyle retorted drily, ''You do tne judging." It turned out later that liie old gentleman was a sort of icserve judge, who was kept on hand to (ill any gap caused by the nonappearance of a judge in any section. There was notliing for him to do that clay, -o he was just palmed off on the cattle judje as associate. At Wednesday's meeting of the Education Board, Mr J. D. Morrison made an explanation concerning some remarks made by him at tin; October meeting. He had, he said, remarked Uiac Lie application to make Makahui a full - time school should be eonsiderld on itmerits and the same concerning I'uniwhakau. He was reported to have saiij, however, that Makanui shoud have been made a full-linn' school even at the lisk of closing Funiwhakau. The sudden rise to wealth of a railroad employee is described in a prcso despatch from Escanada, Mich.

An agreement was also signed by Mr Devlin by wliich he *.vi' receive £2O fur fifty days to superintend the construction of the fitst engine.
Sheep farming on the Auckland Hands has not piovc-d a pioiUable speculation for Mr Fleming, of I'ou Levy, Canterbury. About two years ago (says a Wellington paper) Mr 1- leming placed 2000 sheep uti one ol the i-.anUs, and built a huge woolshed uicie, but lei 1 no one 111 ciuugc of his propelty. Last month uu AgucuHural Department despatched one ol Us inspectors (\[r Mckelluij 1.1 lue Aucklands i.j inspect tne sh-cp. and his a-tonis.imcht may be imagined when he found iluu the Hock had been letluced to nine! Demi sheej) iint found in all iliiecliuns, ant! 11 was evident 'hat ly >si 01 tneui had died througH starvation con-c----quent uii their inability owing to tiieii long' fleeces to make .niotign tne bush. Since the ll.nemoj -.\a-. .Ast in Auckland-, the roui of tne wootshed'had be-n b.own off aLowmg so much watu- to enter me building mac the tools and liardwaie placeu inside the sued- weie uticity milieu, tap-am fucker, ol Gisboinc. who leased Campbed is.and from tne Government lor sheep farming, nil- b-eu moic loi'luiiate tnan Air Homing. Uiitn the ilineiii'ia called at Hie islands two or tiiiee weeks ago Captain Bolians found ihut the -heep theie were doing sp.endidly. Tae llock numbers 7000. and it is said mat u-e island is capable of running 20,000iiie steamer lauded scvciai snearcis who had beeu engaged by the ie-scc. Dealing editorially with the appointment, of Ur hindlay as Auurneyi General, the Duncdm "Star" says; "it is quite conceivable thai suci' a busy piaetiiioner as Ur Findlay may find 11 difficult at certain periods 01 the year, when the Court of Appeal and Pari.anient are sitting simultaneously, to give to the business of me Council the close attention it icijuires, e pecially towards ihe end of Hie session. i'nal contingency 's very like y to arise, and Cabinet 'ought io be prepared to meet it by giving him the assistance 111 piloting Bills tnat he will as-urcdly require. 1 licit- is nothing to prevent the Government from seeking honorary assistance from one of their sup-peiteis, much in the sanje way as the Hon. iir Montgomery, before the weaknesses of advancing years fell upon him, was distinctly sciviccab.e to Sir P. Buckley, when he fiU'-d the Altuiney-Geiieralship and led the Council. So long as the paid members of the Executive do 1101 exceed tight, sucn an appointment would be perfectly valid, and evidently this view was present to Sir Joseph when he intimated the possibility of an additional but honorary Minister being appointed ere long. Running our eves over the rota of th e Council we can see none more likely to fill the bil than the Hon. \V. C. Carucross, who, by reason of his intimate acquaintance with parliamentary procedure, his devotion to his party, and hi" personal popularity would, wc venture to say, be accepted by both side- of the Council, and prove a capable as-'slant to the new Attor-ney-General, 1 '
