The Society is in a very flourishing condition extending its membership to all parts of the province. We desire to draw the attention ot settlers who contemplate sowing whoat this season to an advertisement of Mr Parr's Hamilton House, notifying that he has now imported a line of Clark's Carbulized Wheat Pr jtector, so highly recommended by Mr Seddon of Knighton, Hamilton, who in a letter to the Waikato Farmer's Club some time ago thus referred to it, " I used it most for oats and always found that my crop was free from smut when my neighbours were black with it. In view of the recent outbreak of " pinkeye" among horses in New South Wales, tho following extract from the South British Agriculturist will be of interest :—." The question whether or not the disease amongst horses known as " pinkeye'' should bo scheduled under the Contagious Diseases (Animal's Act) was discussed by two provincial Chambers of Agriculturo last week, viz., tho West Riding of Yorkshire, and the Lincolnshire Chambers. In both cases a reply in the affirmative was given, and it was agreed to support the Central Chambers in any steps which it might take to press the matter on the attention of the Minister of Agriculture." The Sydenham Licensing Committee, Christchurch, on Thursday last, refused six out of eight renewals of publicans' licenses applied for. On announcing the decision, the Chairman said that the decision of tho Court was that they refused the renewal of six out of eight applications, on the ground that the committee of their own motion, and after hearing evidence, were of opinion that the premises were not required. With respect to the two remaining applications, tho committee were inclined to grant them, but postponed their decision until June 22nd. Notices of application for adjournments were given in six cases, and absolutely refused. We would remind the members of tho Waikato farmers' Club, that the annual meeting takes placo at Cambridge in Monday next at 7.H0 p.m., when the election of oilicers for tho ensuing year takes, placos.

The adjourned meeting of the Hamilton Horough Council, which wan to have boon held last night, again fell throne;!). At 8 o'clock there- wer« preent in the Chambers: Ci-h. Slade, Kcid, Duy, Tippeu, Jones, l'arr, Scott, Woods and Moll. In the absence of the Mayor, Cr. l'arr was voted to tho chair. Cr. Tippen said that if the Mayor could not attend he would not sit, and Cr. I ley and Keid agreed with him, and left tho Chamber. Crs. Slade and Bell did not take their seats nt tho tuble, and consequently tho meeting lapsed, there not being » quorum. The meeting was then adjourned till Monday evening, at 7.30. Several of the councillors expressed themselves as being very dissatisfied with tlio conduct of the Mayor in not attending. A. Cambridge correspondent forwards the following: While the entertainment waa going on at the Catholic school the other night a number of small boys and hoodlums—young men they would like to bo called no doubt, but I would say hoodlums of the deepest dye, graduates for Mount KJeu—conducted themselves in a most disgraceful manner, insulting the ladies at tho refreshment tablo with their foul language, and upon being remonstrated with for their conduct some of their number went and maliciously smashed the lamps erected for the convenience of tho public, ly taking it down from the post and kicking it about, breaking the glass and extinguishing tho light. Such conduct should not be allowed to go unpunished, and I am pleased to hear thai the police are going to take proceedings against three or four of the specie and I hope the Bench will infliot such punishment as will deter those pests of society from like conduct in the future. It may interest these young larrikius to know they have, under the " t'olico Offences Act," rendered themselves liable to a fine of tlO or three months' imprisonment.
