Tbia case was adjourned from last court day to obtain Hutchinson's evi"vMnce' on the question of payment by defendant of costs and summon*. — J. Hutclrimon, sworn, said he had settled the claim with the defendant, and had agreed to reduce his account, owing to the dispute about weight of hay, rather than go to court. Ho had reminded Mr Kunciinan of the costs, and the defendant Mvid it was only right he should pay them, and agreed to call on Mr Dyer and pay them. No amount had been specified, but he agreed to pay any expense plaintiff had been put to. —By Mr O'Neill : The summons had not then been issued. He had not seen Mr Dyer's letter claiming 10.s Gd. If he had known the amount he would havo included it in the P.N. from Mr Bunciman. Judgment for plaintiff with costs, £6 Is. \ S. J. Thompson v. J. W. Parker.— Cldim £31 5s lOd. Adjourned from la<it conrt sitting. — Mr Macgregor Hay, for plaintiff, iuid a set of! of £11 7s 2d had been put in which was a wrongful claim. — Plaintiff was sworn and said the set off was a claim for the erection of two additional rooms to his premises^ which had been badly finished, and which be had to complete at his own cost. He had credited the defendant's store account in error with a wrong amount. He discovered his mistake the next morning, and i wrote to defendant to explain. He was astoni.Jied to find the defendant claimed that ns a set off.— By Mr Dyer : The nmount £11 7» 2d is not for extras. He did . nut know what it is for, but the defendant nays it is for the additional size of the house. He was liable for alterations and extra expenses. — Mr Dyer, for defendant, confessed judgment, less the set-off. — J. "Parker, defendant, was sworn, and stated > he bad contracted to put up additions to plaintiff's storo at Tamahere, and that an important alteration had been made in the original plan by making the passage run alongside the building instead of through the centre of the building. This made a considerable incrca«o in the size of the rafters and superficial area. The plan was altered by Thompson, who knew there would be extras charged for.— John Batlcin, s worn, ttftid he was present at a conversation about a plan drawn out on the counter of (»th'e«tore. Thompson sketched a plan of the passage, and he suggested it shouU go the whole length of the house, longer than in the original plan. It was done. The altei ation would be an extra expense, and £11 7s 2d was n reasonable charge. The passage was donblo the original intention, " and would alter the size of the building all round. — Defendant, re-called by the conrt, " said lie did not agree to put in a double chimney. A third party had been called to arbitrate, and he decided the double chimney shall not go in, but a single one. — By Mr Hay : Mr Thompson papered the passage himself at his own request. — Mr Dyer addicssed the court for defendant, and Mr Hay for plaintiff. — Judgmerit for plaintiff, the court thinking that the single chimney erected instead of the double one originally intended in the contract wns an equivalent for the extra costs, £7.

He had since obtained a syty .elsewhere. —Mr Dyer asked for' a non-suit and quoted Roscoe on Delivery in support of his argu.thent that no delivery had been effected. r-^The court said that was law, but there must be a remedy for a tailor who cuts his cloth r and makes clothes, for which be v receives no payment.

At a ceitiun battle of the late war a Federal chaplain happened to fret into the •Yiqjnity of a battery of artillery which wav .hotly engaged. Tho Confederate Bhflls were ploughing furrows about tho guqig,, and the canoniers were grimly and actively at work to answer ahot for shot. The chaplain addressed himself to a set - g«tnt, who was very efficient, but at the tamo time rather profane, in the following wdrda : "My friend, if yon go on in this way can you expect the support of Divine Providenre ?" "Ain't pxppotiti 1 it," fluid the sergeant ; " tie Ninth New Jcr'■ey has been ordered to suiport this 'battery."

I The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is true of a family medicine, ami jfc i« positivn proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and the most valuable family ; medicine on earth, many imitation? sprunp up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. BY, and in every way trying to induce suffering- invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and 'good name of 'fl. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to .jp. 8., with variously devised names in Which the ivord " Hop" or " Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. AH rWieh pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is and especially those with the word "Hop" or " Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them, lonch none of them. Use iid-,j thing but genuine American Hop Bitters,, with a cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Sonle's ria'mei blown in the glass. Trust nothing elte. • Druggists and Chemists are warned •gainat dealing in imitations or counterfcits,

A MODEL LANDLORD.

Loud Tom-kmac'iik (snva the Liverpool Mcicuiv of Dcjcii Hit 12) celebrated liis i SOth Mitiiday on Moiftlav, at Peckfoitou Cu.stle, Cheshire, amid the eonpra t illation •« of hi* friends and tenant* y. 11 is LonUhip has completely jecoveied I'iOiii tlio p'Vious illness which he passed through h short time since, and h nga n .\\>h; to pmoinlly attetid to the improvements whu-h he i« cmistintly making on tin- Peukfui ton estitc. Lord Tollemne'ie po*s<.'«Nf'S about 4.),09!) acres of land in' Cheshue, and it is a most striking h'stnii'iiiv to the vilno of jiis supervision tli.it dining the whole of the ngricultnial depiesM'm fiom 1877 to 1885 hi* Lordship had neither a \acant farm nor a temn f < in arrears. ' His estate in ' heshire has, duriiii his lifetime, been cut up into sizeable farms of about 200 acres in extent, his lorrl«hip considering that a thnfty farmer, with sons and daughters, could do excellently on a 200-acic faim, while they would suffer severely on a smaller holding. In order to break up his estate into farms of that size he built or rebuilt between 50 and 00 farmhouses, at the enormous cost of £148,000, each of these farms and homesteads costing Lord Tollemaohe about Jb'2,Boo, including all extras. But, in addition to tlm, it may be observed' that Lord Tollemache has built no less than 260 cottages for the accommodation of his labourers— an act which haa satisfactorily solved the labour difficulty on the Peck foiton estate. In regard to the education of children on his estate, an anecdote, which has the advantage of being perfectly true, is told of hid lordship's practical common s<?nse. Lord Tollemache was very anxious to provide mixed schools for the education of the farmers' and the labourers' children, but after they had been built, at considerable expense, his Lordship found, that the tenant farmers, from "caste" feeling, ohjected to send their eons to the same schools with tho labourers' children. Having listened quietly to the masters' complaint, his Lordship said, " There is only one way out of the difficuity; I will scud my own sons to the school ;" and for nearly two years Lord Tollemache's children attended the school, and, he adds, with a merry twinkle of his eye, " to their undoubted advantage,"

An experiment, (says the Post) the the result of which will be viewed with interest by pastoralists generally, has been determined upon by some of the large sheep breedeis in the Australian colonies. We refer to the shipment' of stud sheep to the Argentine Republic. The animals selected are now in Wellington, having arrived by the Manapouri yesterday. The flock numbers forty- 1 two, aud the breeds represented are the merino and Border Leicester, two of the best kinds of sheep in the colonies. Sixteen merino yams and six ewes are from Messrs Gibson & Son's station at -Scone, near Perth, in Tasmania, and five rams and five pwes of the same breed come from one of the best pedigree (looks in Victoria. The remaining sheep "are Border Leiceaters, and were bred by -Mr Robert Griev e, of Southland. The latter lot computed fixe rams and an equal number of ewes, which weie shipped on board the Mauapouri at Port Chalmers last Tuesday. The flock, which ia in charge of Mr William Bateman, an experienced Victoiian Sheep farmer, were transhipped to the Doi ie as soon as the Manapouri reached Wellington yesterday, and will be conveyed to Buenos Ay res by the former vessel. Should the enterprise under notice prove successful, others of a like sharacter will be ebmarked upon.
