Profeaaor Garrnclouerb, of Wellington, introduced a new corn cure and during tho twelve months it has been in operation it hat mfldo his name famous. For further particulars we refer our readers to nuother column in which appears a testimonial from Mr Fred. Wright, of Masterton. Professor Barraolougb's Masterton agont for the sale of his celebrated remedies is Mr H, E. Eton of Queen Street. A. few hours after the Wellington Shooting Tragedy occurred, we received from an enterprising oity firm a portrait which for a time puzzled us. We were in doubt as to whether it represented our new Governor, the Hon, Mr Bollanco, Sir Patrick Buckley, or some leading light of the sporting world. We could see that it wanted a name stuok under it to identify it, beoause tho outline was so hazy that it would not appeal to tbe popular eye without sn explanatory note. However, a letter, offering us a true, faithful, and correct stereo of H. W. Finley, the assassin, explained the mys» tery. Wo would take the stereo, but it hardly, looks fierce enough for the person whom it is supposed to depict. It might do, if kept in stock, for tbe next celebrity whose demise is cabled out from home. The Wellington Liberal Association met on Tuesday night and resolved ''That tho (ilovernment be urged to establish a femalo branch in connection with the Labour Bureau { that in the opinion of this association it is not desirable that the franchise should be ox> tended to females unless the question be brought before the electors of the colony, and the majority arc proved to be in favour of th«»»»?"'.

Mr D. Crewe adds to his stock salo list at Eketahuna, store bullocks, springing heifers, pigs, and a largo number of young stock,

Mr J. 0. Hay ward informs us that the owners of the dams of Brook Geld, Comet and Osman have decided to dreed from Ins sire Derringer this season.

Tho well-known thoroughbred stallion "Lord Mandeville" is again this year placed at tho service of breeders, This splendid sire was pronounced by Professor Lichlwark, the renowned horse trainer, to be ono of tho handsomest horses he had seen in tho Australasian colonies.' ■

An intimation from Messrs Chapman Fitzgerald, and Tripp,- Solicitors of Brandon Street, Wellington to the effect thai they have monoy to Jand on freehold security at current .rates of interest appears over the leader in this issue. Mr W. Preston's coach servico between Muuriccvillc and Masterton will be resumed on and after '3rd October. The coach will run from Mauricevillo every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 8 a in., leaving Masterton on the return journej at 3.50 p.m.

The blacksmith's shop at the south end !of Queen etreet, where Mr MoEwcn carried on business so successfully for quite a number of years, has just boon Ire-opened by Messrs A. Fraser and B. Nee—both of whom are well known as thoroughly good and practical workmen, and mon of large experience in their business, The shop has been re-fitted and new tools imported. Horso shoeing will be made a special feature, andstoe! shoes will be always kept in stock. All kinds of agricultural implements will be repaired at reasonable rates. We have no doubt Messrs Neo and Fnisas will obtain a fair sharo of patronage and truet their venture may prove a successful ono.

Mr T. K. Masdonald is vary sovere on the Wellington City Council for sanctioning and taking over streets of less than forty feet in width, Mr Jno. Taplin, of the Taueru, has decided to stand his well-known draught "Young Bir Colin Campbell" again this season at the Taueru, Mr Taplin has received expressions of satisfaction from everyone who obtained Young Bir Colin's services during tho past two seasons. His stock is turning out well. The horse is a splendid tempered animal andu thorough worker being driven by Mr Taplin in ono of his teams during the greater part of the year. Parliamentary amenitiesMr Allen: " The Minister of Public Works shakes his head," Mr Fish; " There's nothing in it, sir—there's nothing iu it." Sotnn of the recipients of Stato charity in this city have very luxurious tastes. A case in point has been mentioned to us. A woman got an order for 7lbs of meat, and on taking it to the butcher she wanted to know if she could not take out the value of the 71bs of common meat in pork sausoges or rump steak, as sho had always been used to that kind of diet, Bump steak and pork sausages, atßd per lb, hardly coino within the category | of necessaries fur a person who. has to depend on charity for the baro means of subsistence.—Ohristcliurch Telegraph.

Rccont official statistics show that in the province of Buonos Ayres there are come 50,000,000 or 00,000,000 sheep, of which about 1,600,000 are shipped .as foreign mutton, whilo tho calculation has hitherto been that a flock of sheep should doublo itself in four years. Hides show an increase of over 50 per cent, in Bix years. A new feature of tho export trade from Buenos Ayres is the large number of livo animals—oxen, horses, and aheep—shipped seawards, and this, it is said is likely to becomo au increasing trade," as animals woll cared for during the long and sometimes very rough voyage havo done well in many instances," and this has induced beginners to continue, The trade in frozen mutton show? an increase of 2805 tons, while jerked beef has dcolined by 4.196 tons, comparing the years 1890 and 1891. English butohers still resort to the trick of selling foreign<lamb as English. Thisoperation involves a curious artifice. New Zealand lambs are imported and sold to West End butohers and others without caul or feet say at 6d per lb. They aro sent out with tho addition of a big foot attached to each joint, and the price charged is lid per lb. The same clever conjurors, who must needs be paid for their legerdemain, buy New Zealand sheep at the low prices quoted and sell them as Scotch, at the top price ol the market. When asked' How camo this Scotch mutton to be frozen ?' the reply is' We aro obliged to keep it in a refrigerator during this hot weather. 1 This is tho way they at the West End of London.

. Wo direct tho attention of our readers to the entries for Mr I). Crewo'e stock salo at Eketahuna on Saturday next, the 24th instant." Persons requiring dairy and store stock would probably do well to peruse the list which appears in our advertising columns. A distressing case required attention at the hands of the police in Masterton earty thiß morning. At about half past six o'clock word was eont to Sergeant M'Ardle that a woman was behaving in a strange way in Church streot, and was thought to bo crazy. Tho Sergoant went across and found a woman whose uarae appeare to be Emma Jane England, and who comes from Johnsonville, but who more recontly hna been in domestic service at Aohonga, on the East Coast, barofooted, bareheaded, and in her nightdress, The woman by this time wan walkine towards Queen 6treot and was talking incoherently, leaving little doubt as to her unfortunate mental condition. She was at onco taken to the police station, and is to bo medically examined as being a lunatic wandering at large aud believed to bo dangerous, She has, it is said, on a provides occasion, been an inmate of a lunatic asylum. Aran tho deluge ot waters we have ex perionced for the last two months wo may nope that now "Spring, mild etherial spring," will visit the land and prove to be ino transient guest, Everyone wants fine weather, Everyone wants to see the radiant I sunshine, and every laJy in the city is doubtless most anxious to see the wonderful and attraotivo spring fashions now openout at l'e Aro House.
