I Jtr Mclwan, the Government Dairy Expert, stated at the seltiers meeting last evening, that in Canada dairy produce is sold weekly or fortnightly by auction, under the auspices of a IJoard of Trade, where English and Continental buyers regularly met and purchased for their firms. A system of this kind should be adopted for the Colonial produce, when the highest price could be obtained at a minimum cost. Local bores! The man who is too mean to buy a newspaper and greets you with the irritating enquiry "Well, old chap, what's the news ?"; and the individual who when he has indulged in that extravagant luxury and has spent over an hour in reading every interesting item of news twice over and the advertisements at least once, hands you the leading daily paper with the mendacious comment, "'Here's the Times: there's nothing in it!" These provoking peoplo, alas, arc common everywhere, and in Mnstcrton as much as in any place, Way they take the hint and reform is all the harm—or good—we wish them.

We regret very much to learn that Mr C. L. Gardiner, 8.A., head-master of Woodcoto House School, H'ohson-street, Wellington, bus been very seriously ill indeed with a sharp attack of typhoid fever.

Mr Gardiner has therefore decided to close his school at the half term -10 th March. As soon as Mr Gardiner's health will permit he intends to re-open the school in the country within easy dislanco of Wellington. Many Wellington families will regret that this excel leut scliool has been closed, even temporarily, Wc wish Mr Gardiner a speedy return to complete health. This is not an ago in which people arc content with a feeble glimmer of light. Everybody is constantly seeking after a j full light on every subject; but the light which is just at present the most sought after, is (hat which illumines our homes when the curtains arc drawn, and the fires burn brightly in the long winter evenings, Then the question comes in, where can wo get the best light for tho least money. This is not very hard to answerjor undoubtedly tho wonderful mechanical 'Hitehoock Lamp,' gives the brightcstlight of any hitherto introduced into tho market, There is no danger from explosion, no smell, no smoke, and tho' Hitchcock Lamp' is guaranteed to give a far better light than gas, at onethird the cost. Dwellers in towns and villages, on tho farm, the station, or in the lonely bush hut, should therefore consult Mi G. M. Xerox, of 17, Willisstrcet, Wellington. He is the man who ,has brought a light to lighten our darkncss, in the shape of the wonderful i'Hitchcock Lamp.'
