The recently-formed Lockerbie Coursing Club has not been long starting operations, and a meeting will bo held at Morrinsville on Tuesday, July 19th. There will be two events, one for all-aged dogs and one for puppies. Nominations will lie received up to the loth inst., and the draw will be made on the 18th. A good day's sport is anticipated. We would call our readers' attention to Mr A. La Qucsne's card in this i;:sue, notifying, that he has removed his chemist's and druggist's business to one or the new shops in Mr Howden's buildings, Victoria-street, Hamilton West. The shop is one of the best situated in Hamilton, and has been fitted up in an elegant and nutetul manner. We feel sure Mr Le Quesue, who is well-known in this district, will receive a fair share of support.

The 'X'uhikaramea Road Board iiro having a very useful work carried out just now. This is upon the now line, which was recently laid off from Williamson's gate to the beginning of the swamp, on the Tuliikaramoa road. The work in question —consisting of siding cuttings, etc., is being done by Mr T. Jones and will, when completed, be a very great improvement upon the old track. Those who have grown wheat for home consumption in the Hamilton district since the Kiwi Mills were burnt have felt the loss of time and the inconvenience of having to send the grain either to Cambridge or Te Awiimiitu to bo gristed. Those interested will be dad to hear that this will soon be ronifdied as Mr Short, Hamilton East, in addition to this crushing lant is now engaged erecting a roller plant, capable of turning out an article that will compare favourably with that from othor establishments in Waikato.

A somewhat peculiar case was heard at tho Cambridge Resident Magistrate's Court, yesteiday. It appears two dogs belonging respectively to Messrs W. Tucker and J. Hamilton worried some sheep belonging to Mr .). Burn-Murdoch. The owner of the thief followed up Haim.ton's dog but it reached home, and Mrs Hamilton had fastened it up before Mr Burn-Murdock arrived, however, he shot the dn:r with the partial consent, of Mrs Hamilton. Messrs Tucker and Hamilton paid £0 for the sheep destroyed, and then sued for £G as the value of the dog, The Magistrate reserved his decision.

We believe that the nuisance, unfortunately fast increasing—of furzo encroaching on the main roads has occupied space in our columns before to-day; but, even at the risk of repetition, we would draw the attention of the Waipa County Council to the damage which the fur/.e is causing upon the road leading from Frankton Junction to Diusdale's bridge, on the Hamiltou-Whatawhata Road. Tin's line has been in good order for some time past, but. in a few places the fur/.e is now crowding the road up, and at thu same time shading it from the sun. The result is that these spots are becoming very bad. A few days' work would effect a decided improvement.

We understand that an unusual amount of sickness is prevalent in Waikato at present, which is generally attribute to the rough and cold weather that we have been experiencing. A number of natives have lately succumbed to pulmonary complaints in tho Waipa districts, and the tangis over them have followed each other in quick succession. In this connection there seems to be considerable truth in the assertion that people living in the northern portion of New Zealand are so accustomed to n genial climate that they get very careless in the matter of self-protection against the sudden and severe changes of temperature which occur during, the autumn and winter. It is exposure to these which generally does the damage, and no one can really afford to neglect their health.

Those of our readers whose teeth require a dentist's attention would do ueli when in Auckland to consult Mr Joseph Martin, surgeon dentist, Karangahape Road. Mr Martin, who is a son of a very old and much-respected colonist (the late Mr Antonio Martin), has an advertisement in this issue. He was articled to Mr Chatfield, of Auckland, and obtained his diploma from the university of Ota#-'. Mr Martin is a skilled operator, and is quite an fait as a dentist generally. His sets of teeth are thoroughly well nra a Rood lit. and very durable. He is prepared to provide an upper and lower set for £o, for which some other professional men charge £10. A half set he provides for £3 10s. At the inspection parade of the Hamilton Light Infantry on Thursday evening by Lieut. Grant, there were 42 on parade out of 54, the full strength nf the company, und?r Capt. Reid and Lieuts. Kirk and Dyer. Capt. Reid, who was siiftV.riric from a severe cold, handed the company over to Lieut. Kirlc, and after the inspection Lieut. Grant took over the men and put them through a number of evolutions out-ode, all of which were well executed. The brass hand, under Bandmaster

Meachern. were present, and played a number of selections in a creditable manner. Limit. Grant addressed the men, and complimented them on their steadiness and the cleanness, with a few exceptions, of their arms and accoutrements. Previous to the company being dismissed, Capt. lieid proposed Messrs B. King and H. L. Hooper for re-election. The teas imported into the United States embrace aume of the choicest varieties grown. We pet all the Formosa teas, the best black teas grown in China, as well as all the Fuchan teas, which are the next best oolong tea* to tho Formosian teas. The importation of Amoy teas, the, lowest grade of oolongs, is steadily decreasing. We get all tile Chinese fancy green teas, which are Brown especially, year after year, for the CJr.ited states, and ill addition almost all the entire crop of tea exported from Japan. Indian teas "f the finest quality can be procured here, but there is little demand for them. They constitute the teas so much admired by the English, and, as they come largely' from English plantations, whose owners and all interested h*\'e praised them at the expense of the Chinese product, it is not difficult to discover a reason for their popularity ill England and English colonies. Chinese t'»as are much preferred here Philadelphia Ledger.

The following paragraph is from the clever pen ot the, writer of " Political Notes " in the New Zealand Times, m comment., well written throughout, uu-n the death of Sir If m-y Atkinson " TUcru is off tho Speaker s room an alcove with a bed lighted by a window at its (ie, id. On that bed they laid him, they received his last sign with the few broken words that none could understand, they closed his eyes, and all was orer. Soldier rest, thy warfare o'er, Sleep the sleep that knows no breaking. Dream of fighting fields no more, Morn of toil, nor night of waking. The words seem to float above him as we stand reverently by that bedside watching that last majestic sleep. It is tho sleep of intense weariness, deep, s-'lemn, calm, and oh ! so tired. It ever man died of overwork, if ever human creature was worn out by overstraiu of faculties, physical and mental, by overstretch of unceasiug toilsome duty, it is he who lies on that quiet bed in the little darkening alcuve, for whom there will be no further disturbance till tho Crack af Doom."'

We lately visited tine shop of Mr Augustus Aley, china, glass and eari.henware merchant, Karangahapo Road, Auckland, and were much pleased with the beautiful spectacle which the stuck in this establishment present-". The tout ensemble is very striking, as the Roods not only are of great value and variety, hut are nil of the newest and most exquisito designs, and made by the English and continental makers. The sight presented by Mr Aley's window when lit with gas is a strikingly handsome one. Some of the sets of toilet ware were particularly noticeable. One of the most ingenious and original articles we have ever seen was a coffee jug, which combines in itself all the properties of a complete put. There is a coffee strainer in it, and the lid and jug are made of the best brown Devon ware. Mr Aley has a great variety of tea sets for afternoon tea, seme of which are hand-painted in a most avtistic manner. He has also a great variety of Japanese travs and tea set<, and siuglo tea-pots and cups and saucers. Mr Aley, who was lately in Europe, purchased his stock from the very best makers, and is, therefore, in a position to give the purchaser the benefit of the saving thus effected. The stock embraces so many lines and is so extensive tint it would Iw impossible in the limits of this paiagrai,!, to describe it minutely. \V,..i<ato p,-.o|-:--rrquu'ing goods in this line would do v.v.1l when in Auckland to pay a vi-it ui Mr Aley's shop 111 Karangahape Road, the tram faro from Queen-street being only 3d.

The proceedings were complicated by being brought by the widow, whose personal interests were not affected by the alleged fraud. The judge ruled that she could bring the action without authority from tho other beneficiaries. The case, w;i« removed to Christchurch for argument.
