CAMBRIDGE.

Tut; Coin. in Moth. — Many orchard owners in the neighbourhood hare been for .some time past catching large numbers of moths night after night by various processes, but in many eases a doubt has existed whether the insects captured were the veritable carpocapsa poinonella, the dreaded Codlin Moth. With the view of familiarising all who desire it with the appearances of this scourge of our orchards, Mr Thomas Wells, has had several specimens poisoned, so that the peculiar markings of the insect should not be destroyed in the lirncess of killing it, and lias one on view at his office in Duke-street. Mr Wells has also forwarded specimens to Mr George Fdgecnmbe, of Hamilton.

Retirement oe an or.n Resident.— Mr J. W. .Merrick, of Victoria-street, Cambridge, has announced his intention of retiring from business. Mr Merrick is one of the oldest established Cambridge storekeepers, and having amassed a competency, has determined to spend the evening of like untroubled by the anxiety of business affairs.

Garden Produce. —Some very fine samples of broad beans have been displayed during the last few days, by Mill. J. Neal, the pods averaging fifteen indies in length, and containing seven beans. The variety is Webb’s Burly Mammoth bean, and the specimens exhibited are from different growers, MrColwill, of Cambridge West, Mr Pepperson, of Gwynnelands, and Messrs Gillett, White, Bright, and others residing in the township, being among the exhibitors. The quality of the bean is said to be excellent, and the size of the samples shown, and the earliness of the date of maturity tend to show that its title is well bestowed. - A Beautiful Piece of Handwork.— A very beautiful specimen of art needlework, in the shape of an embroidered cover for a chair-, was to be seen at Mr Well’s store yesterday. The embioidery. which is the work of a young lady from Auckland, who has recently been a guest of Mr and Mrs Wells, represents Japanese lillies with wreaths and foliage, and is worked on a silk plush ground. The cover has been worked for disposal at the forthcoming fete of S. Andrew’s, where it is certain to find hosts of admirers.

The Carnival Fete.— The approaching fete in aid of St. Andrews Church which is being organised on such an extensive scale, is being looked forward to with great expectations owing to the great novelty and variety of its numerous attractions.
