There ia more than ono Richmond in the field now ready to establish dairy factories and creameries, in places where farmers are willing to give a reasonable guarantee of an adequate supply of milk, The Provincial Far. mers' Co-Operative Association is endeavouring to do things on n large scale, but it is still at tbe provisional stage, and it is, as yet, an open quos.. tion whether it can bo made a profitable conoern, When the price of butter is low, a factory giving a proper guarantee can obtain as much milk as it requires; but when the price rises, farmers are apt to do a little private dairying on their own account, giving themselves tho favourable turn of tbe markot, and the factory the benefit of the unfavourable change, Such is human nature I Tho Wairarapa Farmers' Co-Operative Association endeavours to 'meet the difficulty by a profit-sharing project. The local association will organise a company in any district where three hundred cows; are available, advance capital to it, provided owners will take up shares in the undertaking, The milk to be paid for at three pence per gallon, and profits above this price to be divided

between the parent association and

tho milk suppliers organised under its auspices', It may bo said of the propoßfll that it ajmjj at being a fair arrangement between the capitalist association and the milk supply company and that the members of the latter have a direct interest in making a factory a success, Perhaps neither proposal i? perfect, but experience will show the beetwny of working factories in {the best interests of the producer, We are almost disposed to believe that the lines on which the Wellington tyeaj; gxpprt Company became a marked success could be adapted to butter and cheese. If when butler was, say tenponcea

pound in the London market, threepence per gallon werea fair advance, to make on milk, when the price rose to s shilling why not pay fourpence per gallon or whatever sum might fairly represent the difference in price ill the London market, We do not sgo why milk suppliers should not receive tho yaluo of their milk as represented by the price of butter or cheese in the London market, less the cost of manufacture and export. Wool growers get the approximate value of their wool odvauced in the colony, and meat growers can obtain advances proportionately to its rates paid iu London. It scorns to us that if milk suppliers wero placed on a similar fooling more encouragement would be given dairy enterprise. It would be well if farmers in this neighborhood would meet and carefully discuss the lines on which both the Provincial Association and the Wairarapa Association are prepared to establish factories. e see no reason why a factory should not bo established in this neighborhood and worked to a profit.

A recent criminal trial in Paris, wherein a fourtcen-yoar-old gir 1 named Blanche Deachamp was convicted of murdoring and robbing another girl, her companion, namod Fhilomene Lambert, waß remarkable for the revelation of an extraordinary attempt to compound tho orime.

The Grand Lod?o of Minnesota, & very powerful Masonic body in the United States, has rosolyed to extend fraternal recognition to tho Grand Lodge of New Zealand.

Dukes performing tho ceremony, and a large number of friends and sympathisers (.ttendiug tho funeral. Mr Pinhoy has been singularly un'ortunate of late, and although ho is a Bteady hard working man, and doeß his loveliest to moot bis difficulties fairly and squarely, it almost seems as it ill fate would never leave him. During the last nine months his home has been destroyed by fire, his Btock have died in a wholesale manner, and now ho is left with motherless twins, only a few weeks old. Let us hope a change for the better is in store for him. Mr Turnor, butcher, of J3ketahuna, is about to erect a bootmaker's shop, and dwelling for Mr Hansen, adjoining his butcher's shop. Mr P.

Ho plunged in and brought the policeman safely to dry land, Then it was the turn of the policeman to bo generous. He offered to represent the matter to the proper authorities, with a view to obtaining a life-saving medal for his preserver, Tho latter, however did not seo tho matter quite In the same light. He claimed his liberty, and the other one agreed that ho had earned it, and, giving him a couple of marks for himself, dismissed him with a blessing, The fugitive has not since boon recaptured.

The population of Western Australia, though admirablo in quality, is believed by experts to bo capablo of improvement in the matter of numbers, and it is held in influential quarters that the colony offers great attraction for young femalo soryants, who may in timo see fit to be married and thus advance thn interests of their now home, In accordance with this yiew, fifty-four young women, with morals as unimpeachable as their hardy constitutions, wero brought out by arrangement with tho Government of Western Australia by tho steamer Gulf of Taranto, whioh arrivod in Melbourne yoßtorday. Tho staamer sailed on 25th January, but tho first real pangs of parting wero not felt until the 27th, when she was off Cahant in a heavy S.W, gale, It wan sad, of course, to leave England, but the emigrants' farewell was still farther embittered by the Bight of four dozen fowls and Beveral Bheep disappearing overboard in a huge wave, which swallowed a considerable portion of the fresh meat laid in for the whole voyage at ono fell gulp. The waves broke on board I without ceremony, and did a good deal of promiscuous damago beforo ruthlessly carrying off tho very bathrooms which had been orccted for tho use of those fifty-four, by this timo, most unhappy young women. A ftor a little the weather cleared, but later on the Qulf of Taranto ran into a cyclone, and tho deyoted band of domostic sonants had to put up with revolving squalls and waterspouts seven hundred feet high, beforo which tho terrors of tho nursery and the washing day paled Into insignificance. The emigrants were all landed safoly at Freemantle, togethor with thoir wutching duenna, not unappropiiatoly named Miss Monk,—Argus; Tho Manaia Witness says i-Stoate aro becoming plentiful in this district. A Maori visiting Mr J. E. Stewart') placo yestorday for the purposo of soiling some tomatoes, observed tho baby playing with a strango animal. On attention being drawn to it, it was discovered to bo a young stoat, and was at once captured and placed in a cage, Tho little animal was oxtremoly vicious, and how tho child escaped being bitten Is a inarvol.

The following clipping from tho Sydnoy Morning Herald will give sonic idea of how Chinamen herd together;—A Bpeoial meeting of tho Botany Qouncil was held on Monday afternoon for tho purpose of making an inspection of tho Chinese quarters, Thirty one tenements were found to contain 145 men. One man kept a gambling establishment, the remainder styled themselves market gardeners. With ono or two exoaptiona the interiors, of the premisos wero dismal, wretohed-looking, and dirty, with httlo or no ventilation. Several caaes of vegetables wero found Btowed in bedrooms under the beds,aud in ono case peas wore lying on the floor covered with a blanket evidently juat pullod off tho bed and thrown over them, On enquiry it was ascertained that those vegetables were for market next morning. Opium smoking was ovidently carried on in ono or two ilaceß.

English Churchmen have heen groaning, in Convocation and olsewhore, lately about tho Impoverishment of the olergy. Two or three spirited young Deans suggested in the Canterbury Convocation that the Bishops, Deans, Canons, and other well-remunerated dignitaries should tax themselves at the rato ot 6 por cent, on their plethoric- revenues in favour of the poor parson, whose lot they bewailed. The first prelate to accept the challenge is the Archbishop of York, Dr Maclagan has just Intimated that he will surrender £IOOO from his income of £IO,OOO on condition that lay parishioners of the clergymen to whom grants are made subscribe an equivalent moiety in each case,

Nature in nor wisaom has so ordered that nil animals and birds aro provided with a change of clothing to suit the season, Human beings alone being left to their own devices; but in order'to 1 atone somewhat for this neglect, she has invested some with the brains to design,'and others with skill to execute.

A correspondent in the Daily Graphio writes:--" In Austria tho system of providing dinnors well cooked, well served, and inexpensive to those who caro to send for them has been long in voguo, overy publichouse making this a branch of its business, Your order half an hour before the timo till procure a meal served in a cylindrical wickor basket about two foot or more in height, capable of containing dinners of two or three courses for two or three persons. These baskets havo a double metal lining filled with boiling water to keep the food and plates hot. In the courso of two hours the baskets and ctookery are called for, and thoro is no washing up to be done, To single folks and small families this system is a great boon, and in case of illness or loss of a Bcrvant quite invaluablo,"

Describing a visit to Dulwich College, , Mr Walter JJeaant aske in the Queen:- , "Would you liko to know how achoolbnya wore fod in tbetimo of James I. f Bere ia the ordering of Alloyno, the ' founder, Every morning at eight they ' woro to have a oup of beer and Boz of i bread.

On Sundays they had, at ' open timo,' roast beef for dinner and roast mutton for supper, ' Open timo' meant the summer, because from October till April there was no frosh meat, No mention is hero mado of vejetables.

Tho facts wore admitted that the plaintiff 1 was entitled to the £2OO claimed as his commission on the sale of the Makahokaha oatatea, but he had ontered into an agreement with the defendant to tako a piece of land in lieu ot the monsy, Through some dispute about the title tho agreement was not completed and the present action had been brought to recovor tho monoy, Mr Beard for tho defondant, eontondod that the plaintiff was barred from tborcoovery of the £2OO by tho fact that ho had signed the agreement to take tho land. Mr Pownall, for tho plaintiff, submitted that tho agreement was no discharge of the debt, unleßs tho agreement itself and pot the land was the thing taken in satisfaction. Here tho land was bargained for, and until tho agreement was carried oat by tho land being conveyed, tho plaintiff w)s not in any way barred.
