Thompson, or any member of tho committee TheOpotokiteleKraphlinaisdown.andit is more than likely the eruption has extended in that diroction, and losses may yet be reported from there. There is no news vet from Ofakei Eorako, which is south of Lake Tarawera, and on the rotten lino dip. Wairoa, the scene of tho volcanic eruptions, is a school settlement. It gained its importance owing to the Rev. Mr Spencer having built his miasiou house there many years ago. This is probably the most thickly populated of any part there, as a native school has existed there for many years. The school was opened by Mr A, D. Cowan (well known in Maateiton)in 1872 of 1873. He was known there as Dr Cowan,

Wo colonists in the remote corner of the earth, so far removed from th« centre of civilisation, cannot be too thankful for the blessing of the electric telegraph. This week the important intelligence was flashed through the wires that the Prince ot Wales had been graciously pleased to accept the present of some gigantic Queensland shells, Only a few years ago we should have had to wait in ignorance of this astounding fact for possibly two' months—at any rate until the arrival of the next mail,— Ellesmere Guardian. Mr James Ross, of Masterton, the wellknown agricultural implement maker and coach builder has made some slight amendments to his " patent auto matic poison layer," which he decided was necessary after the first trial. At the second trial he attached the poison-layer to a single plough, and the alterations were found to be a decided improvement The ground on which the trial took place was rather stony, but the plough worked well. A furrow was turned up, and the automatic poison-layer deposited at regular intervals of seven or eight feet some dozen or so of poisoned gram on tho top of the furrow, The quantity of gram deposited can easily be regulated by a very simple contrivance from half a dozen grains to a handful. The poison-layer is likely to prove a great success. It is cheap and effective,

The Ofago Times writes :—•' Waste after waste, leak after leak we have been shown. Will they be stopped this session ? To those already shown we will add a few more, foremost among which are the rates on Crown and Native Landß, for which last year £62,258 was voted, This is money taken out jf the consolidated revenue and paid away to Counties on the valuation of Government and Maori lands in their boundaries. The original idea of tho Bill was just, but of late its application had inflicted much hardship. Otago and Canterbury supply a very large amount of the Consolidated Eovenue Nelson and Westland contribute very littlo. Yet Nelson and Westland did each receive £19,589 and £17,080 during ft givon period, whilst Otago received only £7,815, and Canterbury £4,404; yet Westland pays £484 property tax, and Canterbury £il,3i)4. Very much of this money is taken out of the pockets of Canterbury and Otago settlers, who want the money for roads, and is paid away in making roadst-often useless—on dying goldfields Moreover, some of these counties once struggled to get a further undue advantage by getting their valuator to assess the slopes of snowclad mountains and glaciers at 10s per acre; but this ingenuity was discountenanced and rendered useless by the Treasurer of that day, There were murmurs anent this Act last year by some members but wo want more than action taken. Members should insist on the repeal of an Act the incidence of which is so glaringly unjust." The American papers report that in the course of last year nearly a million pounds of willow leaves, made up as tea, were sent from San Francisco to Shanghai, to be shipped thenco to Europe as Chinese tea. This is right pleasant news for tea drinkers. Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, &c„ are quickly cured by using Baxter's celebrated 'Lung Preserver." This old established, popular moilicine is ploasant to tho palate, and highly extolled by the raombors of tho medical legal,. and olorical professions. Sold by a!' Patent Medicine Vendors.

Sxudt Economy.—Hearing from everyone I mot that the Wairarapa Clothing Factory was tho cheapest and best House in tho district for Mens', Boy's and Youth's clothing, I thought I would give it a trial, which I did, and to my surpriso I got a tweed suit, all wool, Crimean shirt, flannel undershirt and pants, a French felt hat, collar, handkerchief and sox, for the Bmall sum of 655. I've paid elsewhere for tho samo goods £slos, My advice, therefore, to everyone is to call at the Wairarapa Clothing Factory, next the Empire Hotel, where overytliing is good and very oheap,—Advt.
