This account of the men's troubles throws blame upon the Labour Bureau, and is, we think, grossly unfair, We have inquired into the oase, and ascertained that while the men did un-

doubtedly encounter hardships these were in no Way due to the neglect of the officera of the Bureau. They were caused by the exceptionally tempestuous and inclomont weather which prevailod in the North Island last month.

On another page will be found a

business notice from Messrs Cook and Gray, of Auckland and Wellington. This firm is rapidly extending its influence and connection, having at the present time properly appointed agents in all parts of this Colony, in Australia and in London.

A very powerful man, standing about six feet two inches high, by name John Cuddy, called upon Constable Roche at Eketabuua about midnight on Wednesday night. After ÜBiog Borne very filthy language he challenged tho constable to fight, at the samo timo using the moat disgusting expletives within the hearing of women and children, The constable attempted to effect his arrest, but had great difficulty in doing so. Eventually (with the help of some gentlemen who had come upon the scene) the man was secured and placed carefully under lock and key.

The Masterton E,M. Court was occupied several hours yesterday with the hearing of the case in which George Benton sued Heniy Burling, of Alfredton, for a breach of contract and for the return of certain materials left in the house which he was building. The claim for breach of contract was M 7s Bd,whilst the value of the materials was set down at £l}o. Evidence was given by a number of witnesses, and the case was closed at a late hour. It was decided

to reserve legal Hrgumeut until this morning.

Something decidedly novel in tho way of prohibition orders was applied for at the Otaki aitting of theß.M. Court. The application was made by Mr and Mrs To Ret, against thoir daughter. Mrs Te Rei stated that her daughter bad been drinking heavily for about ten years, and was injuring her health by s'i doing and also wasting her money. Her father stated that his daughter was a nuisance, that both Europeans and Natives Bupply her with drink, and that they had had several narrow escapes of being burnt to death through her being intoxicated. The order was made lor ono year, to extend over'tho Otaki Ridiug. A Wellington debtor swore yesterday that his ioability to pay the obdm for which he was sued was due to his having to pay £l7s Cd per month interest to a money lender on a loan of £27, wliioh he had obtained on the security of his furniture, a dray, and some cows, valued at considerably over £IOO. The amount of yearly iutoresc payable would consequently be £l6los. Such usury speaks for itself. A well-known Napier publican is now minus a stable, and the thing happened in rathor a peculiar way. Ho pulled down the buildiog to Bhift it to an adjoining sectioD, and after the sides and roof had been dismembered he learned that under the building by-laws of the Borough he could not re-erect on the adjoining section, unloss in brick, fie then wrote to the Corporation, asking if he conld re-erect oa tho spot where it formerly slued, and where the walls and roof then lay. However, tho Council could not permit of this being done unless tho building was constructed in brick. So there the matter stands. As showing the disadvantages under, which the proprietors of dairy factories in New Zealand have to labour when

oxporting their produce to foreign markets, we (Taitri Advocate) give an instance of how some butter is placed upon the market as" beat tactory-mndo butter," A short timo back a wellknown dairy proprietor was in Dunedin and while there witnessed a roan stencilling boxes. "Best factory madeOhau Factory I" Knowing that such a factory was not in existence, he satisfied himself that, tho stencilling was done with no other object than that of misleading the home buyers, and thereby greatly injuring the dairy industry, but 8s no branding Act was in forcej and as no offence was being committed against the laws of tho Colony—nlthough commercially tho offence was a holnous one—our friend walked on and gravely pondered. It is bolieved that the Colonial Oflico will not veto T,ord Glasgow's decision with reference to the appointment of additional members to the Legislative Counoil of New Zealand.

A numerously signed petition was presented to Parliament on Wednesday, praying for road and bridge communication between Woodville and Mangahao, via tho Woodville end of the Manawatu Gorge. At the Bruce County Council meeting on Thursday tho matter of organising in county districts to counteract tho socialistic tendency of city trade unions with regard to land nationalisation and other subjects was discussed. The Council wirmly approved of the objects of a Farmora' League formed in Canterbury, and passed a reaolution, the idea of which was the formition of likelv bodies in the various ridiugs in the county.— Herald.

Thore Is a terrible pathos (remarks the Pall Mall Gazette) in this observation of a juryman at the recent inquest on a dooker's infant, whobad died from "want of food and badly developed lungs." Tho father had practically done uo work for a long time, because he could not get it to do, and there was no fire or food in tho plaoe when the baby was born. The relieving offiGer had been to the houeo, but the dread of the workhouse was so deeprooted in these people's minds that no ono dared to toll him that they were starving. And so it came about that with a sixpence borrowodfrom a noighbour to pay the doctor's fee, the infant was taken to the surgery when too late, That human beings, as oue jurorput it, should bo "taken ill and allowed to dio like dogs," is sad enough; but that Blow starvation should bo endured by so many with sealed lips is one of the most touching of characteristics in all the dreary annals of the poor.' A Waikato correspondent writes tQ the New Zealand Herald that Mr Ticklepenny, of that place, has in past years well provisioned himsolt with ensilage mado from green maize, and has kept up his milk supply through the winter when the cows of other farmers went dry, or nearly so, Bis emilago is made from maize, cut soon after it has come into flower, and iB soft, sweet, and succulent, and is greedily devoured by the cattle,
