By an amcn.liwnt in tho Mining Act the obftiicle Minding in the way of tlm erection of an abattoirs in Waihi liiih been icmovod, ami there i now seems lobe no reason why the work should not bo proceeded with , It will bo remembered that the ' cause of delay wan the fact that the \ l-loroiiidi Council bad no title that t would secure lo it tho absolute sur- ' face rights of the abaitoir site, and } il was thought advisable to defer the I erection of tho building till the v titlu had boon sooured. Through i

the efforts of the Council, supported by Ibo Warden, the amendment necessary to give this security was inserted by the Minister and passed by the Lower and Upper Houses and the Council has now the indisputable right to the surface. The granting of the title is thus only a matter of form, and we understand that the formality rests chiefly with the Wanton. If this is so we trust that no time will be lost in milking any inquiry necessary, so that the title may be granted and the work commenced. It is incumbent on local bodies to see that the food supplies are as pure and wholesome as possible, and in reference to meat this can only be done by systematic inspection, and the condemning of carcases unfit for consumption. This is the purpose of the abat'ohv. where all the killing is (lone and where the mini is inspected by someone appointed by the Government, The necessity for inspection is recognised all over the colony, and the benefit, derived from it is proved by the numbers of carcases condemned, indeed, the returns frequently published in this and other papers of the meat condemned as unfit to eat are a revelation. The Wailii butchers are as careful as any in the Colony in tho select ion of stock for killing, and we predict that when the abattoir is in opera!ion the per centage of condemned meal will be found to be lower than the per centage in most, other places; but thai, of course, is no aigiimentthat the meat should not be inspected. It will be all the more to tho credit of local butchers if the sheet month after month is shown to be clean, From ail we can gather we believe that in most of the towns in which abattoirs are operating the public have reason to be thankful for their existence, for if only a small per cenliige of the meat condemned had been, consumed the effect on the health of tho communities would have been injurious, We do not say that the inspection is as perfect as it might be, for it is said that the per centage has fallen off since the Government have been compensating for losses on condemned carcases. This implies, if the rumour is correct, that prior to compensation coming into vogue the inspection was too keen, or that since then the inspection has been 100 lax. Possibly the cattle aio in better health, But from the number that are still condemned it is evident the inspection is doing much good, and we hope soon to learn that no town is without it.

A month or two ago Mr Richards was in Waihicanvasdng on behalf of tho Wniinunga syndicate. That gentlonian now advises us to-day by wire that tho Waimungn Gold Mining Company has been duly registered.

A man who bad been reported dead writes to tho editor of a country paper aa follows: -" Sir,—l desire to call jour attention to a few errors in your obituary of myself of Wednesday last, I was born in Palmcrsion North, not in Now Plymouth, and my retirement from tho wheat business was not duo to ill-health but to hard times. Tho causo of my death was not pneumonia,"

From Athens comes the news that tho daughter of the Greek Minister of War, Mile.

Tho Haygarth Comedy and Dramatic Company conoludod tnoir visit horo by staging tho most amusing comedy drama " Dearer than Lifo," Mr. B. D. Havgarth, in his impersonation of the iuquisttivo and irreprossibloTwiggloton.who was forever poking bis noso into other people's affairs, kept tho audionco in a continuum stale of laughter. In this ho was ably assisted by Miss Polly Haygarth, in the character of Whilelminn. Miss Verne Lorraine, as Mrs, Aubrey, was good in tho interesting character, her clear onunciation and pleasing appearance making tho part most effective. Tho other characters, which were taken bv Messrs. G, Kensington, G, Gardiner, and J. Coghlan, were well sustained. Tbo company left for Waikino to-day.

For years past the marriage rate in Stoekho'm has been dwindling, and it ij now tho lowest in Europe The authorities aro (.'really exercisod as to what is the most practical remedy. The men betray an increasing disinclination to ougago themselves in hymeneal bonds, partly owing to the dosiro to oscapo responsibilities, but probably also for other causes. Curiously enough, tho divorco laws of Sweden aro extremely elastic. When incompatibility cf temper reachos ilia oulminating point one of tho patties procoer's to Copen!m«cn tho noarost foreign town, which is only twolvo hours distant, and remains thore for fourteen days, notifying Ihc Swedish Consulate, which circumstances aro regarded as legal cv'dcneoofdosortion and siillioiout ground for divorco.

Tlin Waipawa correspondent of tho Ilawkes Bay Hornld writeslt is jual. as well that everybody should understand tho alloration caused by tho now Licensing Act, in forbidding any persons othor than those exempted to bp on licensed promises during closed hours, and making them liable if found out, This may work out humorously. I 1 young follow may not go into tho house to court one of the landlord s daughters or the servant, T havo heard of Hvo narrow oscapcs that occurred on Sunday evening, I don't sav where, but in one enso a constable wns standing talking to a friend on tho subject near a hotel door, and refureneo wau tiwidn to a certain young man who was courting •ho publican's dangbtor. fbon next uiotnoni tli.it individual cuuio forth, What happened I may not say, but it seems likely that in futuro tho lad will have to whistle and the girl cuuie out to be courted oil Sundays, or love's young dream may be rudely disturbed,

Now and tbon a deputation (remarks the Wellington Post) says funny things in tho ardour of its advocacy of whatit wants. One eloquent member of a shops and offices deputation, which waited on the Premier, spoko with some heat of the small shopkeeper who keeps open after (j pan, and snares the lute shopper, "Every toll'ce shop, every widow woman, every poor creature who has a bit of a shop," replied the Premier, "should, according to your ideas, put up tho shutters on ihn s'roko of six o'clock." "This willow woman of yours," replied the, depu!a> tionist with great heat and excitemont, "this widow woman that yon aro always talking about, is spurious I' 1 The notion of a "spurious" widow soir the Premier into a wild fit of laughter. " Befor marry her straight off," suggested Mr Dulhie, with wicked frivolity.
