~ Buyers are already offering TaraJf naki butter factories as much as Is "" 3d per lb for their winter output. The hearing of the General Labourers' dispute at various places in the Wellington district has been indefinitely postponed. The Forty Mile Bush Athletic • Society's Sports, which were to have been held yesterday, were postponed . on account of the wet weather.

A correspondent, "Advance," writes:—"Why not make a temporary la"'n with Band Rotunda on the vacant section of land near the Court/house, opposite Mr Heron' 3 store." Our Tinui correspondent wrote yesterday as follows:-Heavy warm rain is falling here, and is likely to last. This is the first heavy fall we . have had since 9th November last. A man, named Frederick Hasse, aged 28, committed suicide at 6.39 ■ o'clock, yesterday morning, by blowing himself up with dynamite -in an ■ old whare at Taomri, a few miles from Feilding. There is still a stringency in the butter market. The Wellington "Post" states that larga shipments of local butter have been bought in London and are on their way back to New Zealand. Local requirements will be 40.000 boxes, and of this .quantity only 25,000 are in store, and only 10,000 of this total are owned by New Zealander.-*. The population of Victoria on December 31st, 1907, was 1,258,140, an increase of 7,344 persons in three -jnonths. On December 31st, 190R, v»ie population was 1,237,998, so that thera had been an increase in 12 months of 20,142. Victoria during the 12 months gained by migration from -other countries to the extent of 3,263. On Saturday week, there arrived in Sydney by the new Orient steamer Astnrias, from England, '46 servant -girls and 42 farm workers. The office •of the Intelligence Department was besieged between eight o'clock and noon by a great number of employers who sought maids. When it was discovered that there were only 46 girls, the anxiety to have an early choice became acute, and the would-oe employers were literacy tumbling over one another. Over 100 girls could •easily have been placed. At the Women's Christian Temper- ' anee Union Conference, at Auckland, on Wednesday, resolutions were passed strongly protesting against the totalisator, and urging that no-license should be carried by a , bare majority vote; also recognising the faithfulness of the police in disc larging their duty under the Licensing Act, and u"ging the Alliance to take action with reference to Commissioner. Dinnie's letter to the [Licensed Victuallers' Employers deploring the increase of drinking amongst young men and women. Tressider, the Australian sculler, left Wanganui, yesterday, en route for Newcastle. He was the recipient or: Wednesday evening of a travelling big and rug, and his wife and children received jewellery. He has not yet whether he will return to the dominion. He says he has not the slightest intention of rowing again, and will hand over the Australian championship title to Thoroughgood, who has challenged him. He ridicules the suggestion of Fogwell (an Australian sculler) and others that he was not properly fit when he rowed Webb, arid is convinced hi is as ever, and 1 rowe3 up to test form on the day, but ! met a better man. Mr Barclay, addressing his con'Stituents at Dunedin, stated that he generally approved of the Government's policy. He thought that the re-distribution of seats should only take place every ten years. He regretted the Blackball strike, but the miners, he said, were insulted and tortured by the dismissal ' of seven of their leaders. The 1 speaker was satisfied that these seven men were marked because of their exertions on behalf of their ; fellow employees, and because of the posithn they took up in endeavouring to assist them to better . then- condition. A vote of i thanks and confidence was unanimously passed. The head office of the New Zealand "Farmers' Dairy Union states a Press Association telegram from Palmerston North, indignantly denies a statement of the Masterton correspondent of the "Dominion," that the Union had recalled from Home 1,700 boxes of butter to meet the shortage in New Zealand, and further that the Union is not making enough butter for local consumption, and that twenty creameries will close down in the course of the next two weeks. Mr Bendall, secretary of the Union, states that there is absolutely no truth whatever in the ' Btatement, and the present output is still sufficient to meet requirements. The recent rains have checked the decrease in the milk supply. No creameries will be closed down so long as there is sufficient milk to keep them going, and it is anticipated that the present rains will have the effect of keeping the creameries going for a longer period than was anticipated a month ago. Mr Bendall also says that the statement by the "Dominion," that several creameries are sending milk to Wellington at 8d per gallon, does not apply to th 3 Union creameries. TWO SOVEREIGN REMEDIES. THE FAMOUS SANDER AND SONS PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EX- | TRACT was proved by experts of the Supreme Court of Victoria to posses curative properties peculiarly its own, and to be absolutely safe, effective and reliable. Therefore do not aggravate your ' complaint by the use of one of the many crude excalyptus oils which are now palmed off as "Extracts," and from the iise of which a death was reported recentlv but insist upon the GENUINE SANDER & SONS' ISUCALYPTI EXTRACT, and reject all others. For wrinkles/sunburn,' pimples, blacfchoads, freckles, cracked hands, dry and inflamed skin, use SANDER & SONS' SUPERBA SKIN FOOD. No lady should be without it. Allays irritation, produces a clear and spotless complexion, and a smooth and supple skin.

Of sparrows as well as blackbirds a good cook can make a dainty dish to set before a king or a commoner. A Dunedin caterer wants 1,000 of these mischievous yet likeable birds, with which to make a pie for a banquet to be held there shortly. Sparrow pie is not exactly a novelty in New Zealand, says the Dunedin "Star," but we do not often see it at big dinners. Orchardists would be pleased if it came more into favour.

A Wellington syndicate, of which Mr J. Pomeroy, an old hand in the Bluff oyster trade, is manager, intends to dredge for oysters in Cook Strait. Years ago some very fine oysters were got there. There is en? bed supposed to be nine miles long and a mile and a-half wide in places. The biggest bed, oft' Stewart Island, which has been worked for about 40 years, is 14 miles long. Mr Pomeroy says the Cook Strait oyster is superior to the Bluff article. He expects to find a bed in Cook SLrait about 20 miles long.

"No bush land for me!" said a settler to a "Taihape Times" reporter. "I have seen something of the back blocks, and I am off to Canterbury." Tr.i; man was in quest of some bush land, but after his brief experience of the Main Trunk fires he has become a convert to the advantages of a more open country. Accosting a friend on the road, near Ohakune, the reporter inquired how the fires affected him. "This is all that it left me," he said, looking down at a seedy pair of old pants. "I must go into Taihape to-morrow to get some new clothes."

An experienced shepherd is elsewhere advertised for.
