A fresh advertisement from Mr J. Watt, bookseller and Btationer, of Queen Street, appears in another column: Intimation is given in our advertising columns that Mr Hermann Olsen, for eight years lecturer and dairy instructor tor the Government of Sweden, hss arrived in New Zealand and intends travelling through this Colony on behalf of the De Laval Separator. Settlers who desire to place themselves incornmunica. tion with Mr Hermann Olsen can dp so by writing to him o/o Messrs Mason, Struthers & Co., Clmstchurch. Mr J. Carpenter requests ub to state that he is opening up a consignment of Norwegian slippers in all sizes. Tenders for road formation and drainage are invited by the Alfredton fioad Board,

The following details of the enrolment of unemployed in Wellington up to date has been given :-New Zealand 170 | New South Wales 14; Victoria 8; Queensland 6 ; Tasmania 3; South Australia 1 ; Western Australia 1 j England 6 j Ireland 2; India 1; total 210. In addition there are 20 names without particulars.. The Post says :- It is remarked as a singular coincidence that since it was decided that the Labor Bureau should Rive preference to New Zealandera and married men, it has been found pety difficult to find any Australians or single' men, and that the younger the man the larger the family he claims to possess. After the Wakatipu left the Wellington wharf on Thursday Bhe stopped while she was Bearohed for stowaways. Two men who had no tickets were brought back with their swags, and were iminedi. ately surrounded by a knot of curious people on tho wharf. One of them being asked by a bystander whether he was not afraid of the punishment he would haye received on the other side, he said "I'd have got a month in Sydney, but I'd sooner do. ft month there than stay another week in this country." Evidently, BBys the Post, the Premier had been too much for him,

Sir Francis Dillon Bell, whose position I for several years »b Agent-General in 1 London for the Colony of New Zealand ' gavo him exceptional facilities for gauging the opinions of tbe leading English Bnanoiors (says the Argus) takes a very hopeful view of the present position of ■ the colonies. While a number of hoßtilo critics never lose an oppor» tunity to decry Australian securities, the feeling of the soundest financiers in London is that tho colonies,' although overwhelmed by depression and panic, are in a perfectly solvent condition. " They consider," remarked Sir Francis Bell, at a brief interview on the R.M.S. Polynesien, at Melbourne," that with careful nurture, a cautious State policy, and the vigorous development of your ineihaustible sources of natural wealth, the intense depression will eventually bo succeeded by a period of prosperity that will not prove ov»nMCimt and artificial, because it will necessarily have its origin in sound economic conditions, Remove the congested population from the cities," added Sir Francis," settle the people on the land, and the aspect of affairs will soon change for tho better, This'has undoubtedly been the chief instrument in the rapid advancement of New Zealand," Information has been received at St. Petersburg (saya the Daily fAroniffe'j j correspondent) of the burying alivoof a peasant in the village of Maruten, in the Government of Kalooga, The victim, who was shortly to be married, happened to fall asleop in a stove, tho fumes of which partially asphyxiated him and rendered him unconsciouß. His relatives, thinking he was dead, had him buried without delay. Shortly after the funeral, some one passing by the cemetery heard sounds proceeding from tho newly-made grave. When, after considerable delay, the grave was opened, the victim was dead, the body presenting a terrible spectacle. The'unfortunate man had torn his grave-clothes, had torn put one of his eyos, and bitton off one cf his fingers, while his face was literally jii shreds. .

Mrs Murry-Aynaley, wife of Admiral Murry-Aynsley, who left Lyttelton on the 13th May in the steamor iloric, committed auicide on the voyage. She cut arteries in her arm and bled to death. The cause is attributed to dependency at her husband's losses by the recent failure of Australian banks.

Mostof the seamen employed on the Victorian fleet are total abstainers, The Auokland 'Herald' points out that as early as 1812 the question of abolition or non-abolition of grand juries was referred tu by the Chief Justice of the culony (His Honor Judge Martin) in the coursu of his judicial dutioK At the criminal sessions of the Supreme Court at Auckland, in that year, something ap» parenlly .occurred wkioh led him to oxpress the opinion that grand juries would bo better abolished; that they were a disadvantage rather than a benefit, as their loaning to mercy led not in« frequently to guilty persons escaping punishment,

A run on the C'alifornian banks has caused many of them to sup&nd, they beingunable to realise their funds on real estate and other investments,. The Great Eastern's dimensions as to length-have been exceeded iu the specification of the now liner Gigantic, which Harlandand v Velffare building fortho White Star Company at Belfast, The Gigantic is to be 700 teet in length, surpassing for the first time the Great Eastern, which was 680 feet long. In the matter of breadth, however, the latter still holds the record for displacement, as the Gigantic will be only 68 feet in breadth, as against 83 feet of the Great Eastom. A contrast of the engine power shows what enormous strides have been made in marine engineering, The failure of the Great Eastern was due to her small amount nf horsepower—only 7650 —which was not proportionate to her length, breadth) and depth, There need be no fear of the Gigantic breaking down, ns sho is to have engines exerting a foroo of 45,000 horsepower, and is being built to run at the ratoof 27kno's-just a trifle over double the rate of the Groat Eastern, Thotendenoy to increase the horsepower on our liners has once more been demonstrated, fur the Gigintio will

possesa 15,CD0horaepower more than the latest Cunardere, the Campania and the Lucania, Mr E. M. Smith, Taranaki's selected, is nothing if not modest.; but modesty, he evidently thinks, must be sacrificed, no matter at what cost to oneself, when the interests of the colony demand it. Hence the following notice of motion by thattjentleman:-~Thatthe Government at an early date give the House full and fair opportunity to pass a resolution to appoint Mr E. M, Smith to be a Commissioner to proceed to England to lay the question of the mineral resources oi the colony before English capitalists with a view to interesting them to undertake the establishment ofmanufactones in the colony to work up the ran natural products, and by so doing, kill the unemployed question.—Evening Prees. Mr Scobie Mo Kenzie says that he cannot see hsw, with land leased for 999 years' land could be provided for the growing generation. Ho did not believe that there was a young man in Aahburton who was quite prepared to wait 999 years until the first of tho new leases happened to expire. The Albany (Auckland) correspondent of the Herald states that thore will not be much done in the way of extending orchards in that district during the present planting season, tho low prices lor even first-olass apples being a poor inducement for settlers to plant that olasß of fruit trees, and the exportation of apples to London does not as yet offer

much encouragement to orchardiats to ship their produce to that market One grower iu the neighborhood sent fifty boxes Home; and realised, after deducing expenses, the magmheient sum of 9d per box. The fruit rejected in packing in the shipment was sent to the Auckland market) and brought from Is to Is 2d per case. The following extract from a lotter

rum a landowner iu Kent, written to a

well-knoivn residentin Sydney, has a practical bearing of our exporting in-

dustries: " I hear a queer thing iu farming to-day- Thore is a man at Medium,l Sussex, who has a herd of 80 cows. He sendserety drop of milk to London, and buys Australian butter for his own family use. As ho says, it is better than the English butter he can buy, and cheaper than making it at home. The Taurangaandßay of Plenty districts are reported to be unusually prosperous.

An insurance canvasser told the Oatholio Times the Mowing tele, illustrative

of the cunning of a frog, tie said that he knew a man whose brother was quite intimate with the animal, the scene of the affair beint; somewhere in Taranaki. Be was a man over 6ft. and weighed 16 Btone, who related the incident, oonse< quently we refrained from comment : A brood of chickens was fed with mois-

tened meal in saucers, and when the dough soured a little it attracted a large number of flies. An obsorvanfc frog had' evidently noticed this, and every day , towards evening ho would make bis ap< pearance in the yard, hop to a saucer, climb in, and roll over and over until he was covered with meal, having done which he awaited development* The flies, enticed by the smell, soon Bwarmed around tbe eohoming batrachian; and whenever ono passed within two inches or so of his nose, his tongno darted out and. the fly disappeared, The plan worked so well that the frog made a regular business of it. Iho meetings of the Masterton Mutual Improvement Society are evidently growing vory popular, bb evinced by the very largo attendance at the usual weekly roeoting held in the Wealeyan Schoolroom last evening, on which occasion tbe lad ies of the Sooiely were entrusted with the programme of tho evening,. whioh comprised musical and literary items as follows:—Miss Wilhauiß, wading; Miss Pearson, pianoforte selection ; Miss Dukes, recitation; Mias Lily, song (encored); MissWrigley, recitation; Miss Dixon, reading; Misses Dukes and Prentice, pianoforte duet ; Mrs Dukes, reading ; Miss Pearson, Bong; Miss Prag- '< nell, riddles; Miss Ferry, songs Mibb 1 Tibert, reading; Mrs Aitken and Miss Perry, vooal duet; Miss Prentice, recitation ; Miss Lily, song.

The oommon cold (Bays an English ' paper) is one of the scourges ot our : changeable climate. It is, therefore important tu ascertain the causes tmd . the host means of preventing or modifying this prevalent complaint. Thecold is caught It ia supposed, from germs floating in the atmosphere The predisposing causes are wet clothes, wet boots, and uneven clothing of the body,, which causes lowering of the temperature,consequently of the vital energy. Olothand leather when dry are non conductors of heat bub when wet conduot it away rapidly, Fatigue also conduces to catching cold. The first symptoms are the sensation of cold creeping down the back Mid causing au involuntary shudder, which is popularly attributed to someone walking over your grav& This is followed by'heaviness or pain in the forehead and eyes, lassitude, fevcrisbness, and thirst. At this stago prompt measures will in many cisea prevent the threatened attaok. Take a hot bath, or Boak the feet in hot mustard and water, jump into bed betweon the Man-1 kets, and drink off a glass of steaming wine negus. Ton drops ot tincture ot aconite iu a tumbler of water sippod at intervals will lessen tha feverishness and clear the head. Breakfast in bed in the morning, and spend the day indoors in i a warm but woil ventilated room, By these means our insidious foe may bo defeated at the threshold. The ten-

dancy to catching cold may be lossened by a cold sponge bath eveiy morniug, and a Turkish one once a week. It 1b also lessened by wearing suitable cloth-, ing, which keeps the whole body at an even temperature. Remember that a cold is highly infectious; so, if you have ono, kiss no ono who is not your enemy. The Greytown Quadrille Assembly held the first of a series of invitation dances at the Palace Theatre last oven-

iiig. About fifty oouplca occupied the floor, and a most enjoyable- lime was spoilt, The amount raised by these dances will be devoted towardß the Greytown Fire Brigade funds. We understand that the Ancient Order of Foresters intend following in the footsteps of the Quadrille Assembly, and holding fortnightly invitation danooH at Greytown in aid of their own funds. Mr J, Hillier having waited on His Worship the Mayor of Greytown (Mr F, H. Wood) and asked permission to place an eight day olook in the Public Beading Boom, his request was granted, and Mr Hillierhaskindly presented the clock. Special attention is directed to Mr 0.

The Manawatu Times of Thursday eaysi-A largely atttonded meeting of shareholders in the Farmers' Alliance was held in the the Occidental Hotel to-dny. Mr J. Bryce occupied the chair. After a long and somewhat heated discussion it was decided on the motion of the ohairman.sooonded by Mr Johnston, that the balance sheet and report as read bo adopted. An amendment proposod by Mr Gardiner that the balance sheet be referred back to the dirootors as unsatisfactory, was lost. A remuneration of 20 guineas was voted to Mr Kcmbcr, the retiring auditor, and he was reappointed auditor at a remuneration of 35 guineas. The chairman announced that the dircc
