The Southland correspondent of tlio Christchurch Weokly Press referring to fruit growinf,says:-"ThoNapior people aro promoting a company or association for the settlement of fcho Konnadecs—a capital idea, They could give ua oramies and m take a lot during the year. Then there aro lemons, and what a sale there would bo for new potatoes early in the year | Then there is ohioory, and many other things for which there is a constant and ready sale. I think the Napier people have struck a good thing, and wish them ovory success.

Thero is money in tho rich semi-tropical products, and if tlw association goes carefully to work their undertaking should be highly profitable to all concerned; besides they have their laws ready made for them, and may be assured of every reasonableassistance from tho colonial Government, and, above all things, they can count upon a splendid market for their produce." We learn that several porsons intend going to the Kermadecs, among others being Mr Carver and family. Notwithstanding'tho assertion of the "oxperts" that Mr Irving Bishop must have been dead when the American doctors performed his autopsy ivith such indecent haste, there will always he a feeling among a large section of the public that the certainty is not nearly so clearly established as one would ljkeit to be.

She says;-" lam subjec't'to the same cataleptic trances into which my boy often fell. One can hear and seo everything, but both speech and movement are paralysed, 3omo years aoo 1 was in a trance for six days, and I sow the arrangements being mado for my burial.
