By adopting this very obviously necessary rule much inconvenience and many mistakes would be avoided. Mr Sat-Mon, Butcher, of Hamilton, has a fine lot of German sausages on sale in Victoria-street.

The London c Tablet' says :—" We are most happy to be able to announce that the question of the elevation of Dr Newman to the Cardinalate is settled in the affirmative. His Holiness has been graciously pleased to arrange for the removal of the difficulties which stood in the way of Dr Newman's acceptance, and we have reason to believe that his creation will. take place immediately. Among other precedents existing for the residence out of Rome of a Cardinal not the Bishop of any diocese, we may mention that of Cardinal De Berulle, the founder of the French Oratory. The Consistory, it. is reported, will be held shortly after Easter." Death of the Racehorse Master. — The racehorse Master, belonging to Tuakara.ina,waß being ridden by a Maori, up from the Wharf at Cambridge, at about ten o'clock, on Saturday, and on coming up the cutting at the foot of Duke street, he bolted, and ran into a horse and cart which was coming down the hill. The Master was impaled upon one of the shaftSi of the dray, 'which entered qaite eighteen inches into his breast, killing him instantly. The horse and dray were knocked right down the side of the cutting, but, strange to say, not capsized. Neither the Maori riding the horse, nor the driver of the dray were hurt. The Waikato Cavalry are warned by the officer commanding to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to Auckland to receive the Governor. Major Jackson's Sale of Live and Dead Stock.—We would again remind our readers that this important sale by Mr J. S. Buckland, takes place to-morrow, at Te Awamutu. The millers of Minnesota have (says the 4 Cincinnati Commercial •') been annoyed a good deal of late by wire in the wheat, caused by the use of wirebinding' harvesting 1' machinery. At one time the matter had become so troublesome that they thought seriously of advising tho disuse of such machinery. But a way has been found out of the difficulty, by the invention of a simple aud exceedingly ingenious device, consisting of two gangs of horseshoe magnets, four in one and five in the other, placed in a spout through which the wheat passes. Numerous pieces, from the size of a pinhead to an inch in length, were counted, and mixed with a quantity of wheat, and being passed through the spout, the exact number would be found on the magnets. The millers were highly pleased with the workings of the simple device, and it will be undoubtedly introduced into all-tho mills. A point of interest in this matter is the fact that this device is not a patent. The hint thus given should be taken advantage of by our Auckland millers. The wire binding machinery has been introduced into the colony, and it is likely to become more extensively employed in subsequent-years, and small pieces of wire are likely to pass the threshing machinery into the dressed wheat. It has been proved that properly placed magnets will remove them.
