Ihe Savants and Philosophers declare that while Frenchmen consider themselves at tho very head of civilisa tion, ihry.die off more quickly than the people of anyother European community. It is necearary, thry say, to raise a nolo of alarm, for unless f<ictß are looked in iho face. Franco may even perish. • In tho B.M.

The case Woodrooffe v. Williams, a claim under the Fencing Act, was called on in the Masterton R.M. Court this morning, MrO. A, Pomiall appeared for the defendant and asked for an adjournment on the ground that an important witnes was not in attendance, It was finally deoided to tako evidence for the plaintifi, to Bave the necessity of witnesses attending twice. The case arises out of a dispute between 6, W, Woodrooffe,owner of section 81)-in the Master ton Small Farm Settlement Block, and Edgar George Williams, owner of section 87 adjoining, regarding n boundary fence between the two, which the plain; tiff wishes to erect and to compel the defendant to share tho cost of. The Court is asked to decide the proper boundary and the kind of fence to be erected. Mr Bunny for complainant, alleged that a fence at present existing is not a proper fence within the meaning of the act, and also if it was it is not on the proper boundary. Technical objections were raited by Mr Pownall as to tho notice to fence served, on the defendant being informal, and also as to the Court's jurisdiction,andsaid if It was con. tended that the fence was not a fence within the meaning of the Act, the Court could not order the removal of something which did not exist, His Worship decided to hear the facts of the case. A, J. Rawaon, surveyor, gave evidence to the effect that he has "urvcyed the section of the parties to the action, and f jtind that the boundary, fence between 37 and 39 encroached on Bectbm 40, which was Mr Woodrooffea property, Mr Woodroofe also gave evidence, after I whioh tho case wsb adjourned until next Court day, costs being allowed plaintiff and his counsel, fib Worship undertook to visit the ground jii, thorneantirne, j Snbrmo at Te Aro House means getting the choice of tho largest etook of new fashionable Drapery.* It means'you-aro buying at.the lowest cash price and getting a bonus discount..
