Dr Newman moved at yesterday's meeting of the Eucation Board, " That for scienoe lessons thore shall be taught chemistry appropriate to tho manufactures of the district, and in tho country schools the chemistry of agriculture.'.' He thought the Board Bhould now tako up tho question of technical education, and if the resolution was given effect to it would be a step in the right direction. Mr Feotham, who seconded tho motion, suggested that a committee should be appointed to confer with the Inspectors as to the best means of carrying out the proposal. Mr Buchanan failed to see how anything more than the olemeutary principles of chemistry could be taught m the country schools. It appeared to him impossible to carry out tlio proposal properly. Mr Beetham proposed that the following addition be made to the motion :—" That a committee consisting of the Chairman, Dr Newman, Mi Young, and the mover, be appointed to consult with Messrs Lee and Fleming as to thß best means of carrying out the ■ooject, and report at next meeting." Mr Lee (Inspector) expressed his strong sympathy with the resolution. Eventually the motion, with Mr Beethain'n addition, was agreed to.

By a majority of ono a resolution was oarriod that tho preas be not admitted to tho meotings. On Saturday last (says tho Foilding Star- of Tuesday) a young man named Scliwasa, who'hve3 with his parents at Halcombe, was riding towards homo on a somewhat restive horse. Ho passed some young ladios who wero also mountod, and thoy obsorvod that the horse the lad was ridincr was beyond his control. Shortly afterwards thoy overtook him, and saw that he had boon thrown, but ono of his foot was en* tangled in the stirrup. As tho lad hung hoaa downwards the hsrso was kioking furiously at his body. Presently ho fellclear of tho horao, and one <tf.the young ladies ran to tho near<JKhouse for watar, and to obtain assistalllS. Ic was evident to them Sohwass was badly hurt because his mouth was full of blood and a pool of it was under his head.

'JAII right, fire away." "We intend to work only 44 hours instead of 48." "At what pay ?" "Oh, the same, of courso, we'll do just as muoh work," " All right, fire away." "Tho foreman has been rather hard on ub ; we want him sat upon." " All right, fire away." "That's all sir." " No, it Isn't; think again, I'm sure there's something else." "No, sir." "Well. I'll, just toll jou then. You've arranged your hours of work ?" " Yes, sir." " You've arranged youp rato of pay 1" "Yes, sir." "You've arranged to have the foreman reprimanded?" "Yes, sir." " But you've forgotten one thing, and that is to arrange to pot some . •» foci to sign your cheques on Saturday, for 1 won't, Good morning," Exit deputation. Evidently Downing-stroet has grasped tho idea that they are a sporting peoplo in Victoria, says a Melbourne papor. Dowuiug-street does grasp"idea 9, though slowly; the Barnacles are not wholly obstuse, and if tho charaotor of a community may be studied at Lord Epsom, Barnacle is sedulous. Our elevens havo spread our fame ; Mr. White's horses, albeit defeated, have spread it; as a consequence the Govornors whom Dowmng-streot has sent us of late Have been warranted judges of horse, flesh and true lovers of sport.

It would be a patont of nobility, or next best thing to it, and if only their Excellences would coaio togothor on the field, and our friend might see in Tho Leader, ''Snobling, b Lord Hopetoun o Lord Jersey," he would bo as happy as Thackeray pictured himself walking down Pall Mall with a Duke on either arm,
