» Mr Robert Francis, proprietor of tho Musical Exchange, has given a gramaphono for the use of tho leper patients on Quail Island, in order that the disc records already donated might bo mado available for the entertainment of the patients.

At Lyttelton on Saturday Detoctivo Livingstone arrested a seaman belonging to the brigantino Rio Logo on a charge of assaulting Captain Spenco and breaking his arm. The offence is alleged to have been committed shortly after tho vessel left Dunedin on Thursday. Our Wellington correspondent tele-graphs:--Tho Prohibition party is making a strong canvass for Mr G. Laurenson's bare-majority Bill. One candidate at tho coming election, who has always supported tho party, and has contributed liberally to its funds, was told that if he did not support the Bill a candidate would be put in the field by tho party to oppose him. The Timaru agent of the Press Association telegraphs:—Three cases of breaking and entering wero reported to the police on Saturday morning— at two bakeries and a confectioner's. At ono of the bakers £7 10s, and at the other 30s, was stolen. The confectioner's till was broken open, but it contained nothing. The offences are supposeu to be tho work of juveniles. A memorial tablet to the memory of the late Mr Joseph Pat trick is to bo nnveiled at tbe St. Albans Methodist Church at 7.30 o'clock on Wednesday evening. Mr Pattrick, who died on Juno 19th, 1880, camo out in one of tbe first four ships, and was one of the first members of the Wesleyan Church in Canterbury. At Wednesday evening's service addresses will be given by Mr C. S. Howard and the Rev. H. Bull. Saturday's Wellington "Post" states that for the past few weeks the police havo had to deal with an unusual number of persons suffering from one form or another of mental disease. On Thursday four cases, and yesterday an equal number, were committed to mental hospitals. Police Inspector Ellison stated to a "Post" reporter that, though there certainly were very many cases coming under the notice of the police at present, it was only a temporary phase. It not infrequently happened that sudden deaths, crimes, and suicides camo in similar waves, and passed away again. The members of the Canterbury Scouts (to the number of thirty), under Captain Keddoll, and of the Civil Service Rifles (to the number of twenty), under Captain Pavitt. paraded for Divine service at St. Michael's Church yesterday morning. Tlie preacher was the Yen. Archdeacon Averill, who, in tho course of an inspiring address, emphasised tho fact that in order to lead a man must know what it was to obey. Some of those present had faced death in defence of the Empire. Those who had not 6een active service should remember that it was an honour to stand and be ready for their country's call.

At tho Wellington Magistrate's Court on Saturday two wharf labourers, Charles Lawson and Joseph Wiggins, pleaded not guilty to a charge of stealing from tho Ruapohu eight bottles of beer, of the value of Bs, the property of the New Zealand Shipping Company. Evidence was given by the fourth officer of the vessel that at about a quarter to fivo in the afternoon of Friday he noticed Wiggins suspiciously handling a case of beer. The caso was found to have been broached, and about six bottles were mis-ring. Wiggins admitted having taken two. Later on witness sa\' Lawson drinking from a bottle. With Constable Lecky. witness searched and found three bottles planted in various places. Tho defence was a complete denial of the charges. His Worship inflicted a fino of £5 each, or in default 21 days' imprisonment.

Mr John Frcebody, of To Wharau, Wnirarapa, formerly a Carterton farmer, is petitioning Parliamont for a sufficient sum as compensation for wrongful imprisonment, which will enable him to tide over the period within which ho falls short of residence in the Dominion to entitle him to the old aie pension. Tho petition indicates that Frcebody has had a particularly unfortunate experience. It states that on April oth, 1860, ho was jointly charged with two others with having stolen three calves, and sentenced to imprisonment for two years, and to a further term, of two years on a charge of receiving stolen property. During his incarceration enquiries were instituted (unknown to him) in regar.-. to his innocence, and he was discharged by special permission of the Governor. He is 75 years of age, absolutely penniless, and has no relatives to assist him. The legal expenses incurred in connection with his trial largely contributed to his ultimate poverty, but ho has never received any compensation.

"Vaccination is only in its infancy, but that has nothing to do with niy present case," said Mr Treadwell at the Magistrate's Court at Wanganui on Thursday. His "present case" was ono in which a well-known citizen of Wanganui (Mr Hope Johnson) refused to obey tho Health Department, and have a daughter of his, aged four years and six months, vaccinated. His reason for objecting was that another of his children, a boy, was vaccinated, and since that tiino had been sickly and lost his health. Mr Johnson therefore considered it was unwise to allow his other children to risk being unhealthy through vaccination, he considering that parents were able to judge in tliis. matter as well as a medical man. His Worship said that "in these cases the parents were the worst possible judges," and ordered the child to be vaccinated within fourteen days. Mr Treadwell stated that his client did not intend to have the child vaccinated, praferring to pay the penalty of disobeying the law. Mr Purser" also appeared before the Court on a similar charge. Mr Gordon acted on his oehalf, and produced a doctor's certificate which stated that the child was not in a fit condition to be vaccinated at' present. An order was made to have the child vaccinated after the lapse of three months.

The Tramway Board will meet this afternoon at four o'clock. Mr Haskins has presented an invalid's chair to Nurse Maude for tho District Nurses' Institution. The entrits for tbo Nelson Poultry Show number 1155, constituting the show the second largest in the Dominion, it being only exceeded by the Christchureh one. Gold and silver havo been found at Tringhani's property, near Featherston. It is thought that thero are no payable quantities, but a good reef may be struck. At a meeting of the Waimate A. and P. Association held on Saturday, it ww decided that the services of Mr Beckett, as secretary, be retained. Consideration of the question of salary was deferred. A meeting of farmers was held in the Ashburton A. and P. Association's rooms on Saturday to discuss matters in connection with the farm labourers' dispute. The business transacted was of a private nature. At the Supreme Court at Wellington on Saturday, in the case of Searl v. Lyons, a claim of £1000 damaeos for alleged slander, tho jury brought in a verdict, which Mr Justice Cooper said amounted to a verdict for defondant. Costs were given against Searl on the higher scale. Tho funeral of tho lato Mr James Irvine took place on Saturday afternoon, and was followed by a large cortege of vehicles to the Addington cemetery. The burial eerrieo was conducted by tho Rev. J. Mackenzie, assisted by the Rev. J. Maxwell. Many beautiful wreaths wero sent by friends of the family. Only about a score of people attended a public meeting held at Ashburton on Friday evening, which had been convened for the purpose of discussing tho question of electric light and power for tho town and to protest against tho Borough Council extending the concessions to Messrs Craddock, Sims and Co. to twenty-one years. A hostile motion was lost, and an amendment expressing satisfaction with the proposed agreement with Messrs Craddock and Co. was carried by 12 votes to 7. Tiie members and friends of the Bud of Hope Ix>dge of Druids held a social in tho Templar Hall, Rangiora, on Friday evening, it Wing the twentyeighth anniversary of the lodge. Parlour games, musical and vocal items, and dancing comprised the evening's amusements. Tliere was a good attendance and a pleasant evening :k spent. The occasion was also taken to bid farowell to D.P. Bro. Bridget, who is leaving on a trip to tho Old Country, and he was presented with a travelling rug. A peculiar circumstance directly concerned with tho stoppage of Waipori power was observable by thoso whose duties took them abroad in tho early hours', of Friday morning (says tho 'Otago Daily Times"), .cully half a dozen business places had their shop windows electrically illuminated during these hours. Tlie explanation seems to be that the shop attendants had switched on in order to light up during the previous evening, and had left tho switches turned on. Then when the steam plant power was put on the mains to supply the Post Office officials in their early morning work, these customers got an unexpected supply. At tho monthly meeting of the Ashburton Hospital "Committee, Dr. Huntor reported that during the month of Juno 15 patients wero admitted to tho institution, 15 wore discharged, and there was one death. There were 14 patients remaining in tho Hospital on June 30th, and during the month fivo operations had been performed under anaesthetics. Messrs M. Stitt and J. W. Dickio were appointed a visiting committee for tho month. A hearty voto of thanks was accorded Mrs D. Wood for the great interest sbe had takon in the Hospital as lady visitor during her term. Mrs H. Davis was appointed lady visitor for the ensuing term. Our Hanmer correspondent writes: — The Department of Tourist and Health Resorts having taken over the Rogerson high-pressure water supply, has levied a water rate on the householders at the following rate: —For every half-inch supply pipe at the rat© of £110s per annum, with an additional 10s per annum for every stand-pipe for garden purposes. For thoso houses with a three-quarter-inch supply or upwards, a meter will be fitted, and the charge will bo ls per 1000 gallons, tbe minimum charge in tho latter case to be £3 per annum. Tlie supply itself is excellent, and the pressure obtainable for the past six months has fully justified the large number of householders participating in the additional expense. Many of the Native clergymen and superintendents who will attend th 6 Maori Congress in Wellington hope'to speak in Wellington churches on' Sunday, July 19th. At tho meeting of the Wellington Presbytery a letter was read from Mr A. Ngata, M.P., secretary of the Congress, asking that arrangements should be made to place pulpits at their disposal. Mr J. G. "\\. Aitken, M.P., said ho thought that this was an admirable idea. Tlie Congress would be a very important gathering, which should result in much benefit to the Natives in the future. Mr Ngata was ono of tho best Maoris whom ho had ever met, and Sir Robert Stout was also taking a great interest in this matter, and would preside ovor tho Congress. Ho thought that the churches 6hould sei7,e the opiy>rtunity which the presence of these ministers would give. It was decided to make an allocation of pulpit*.

Tho poultry industry is none too bright at present (says Saturday's "Otago Daily Times"), and particularly as regards the table variety thero is a decided scarcity. As a result, cockerels for table purposes are now selling at as high as from Gs 6d to 7s per pair locally, and it is doubtful if tho same class of birds would bring any more, if as much, in London. Tho almost prohibitive price of fowl feed has been responsible for a very limited production, and more cockerels have been killed this last season so soon as breeders wero able to distinguish them from pullets than probably ever Itefore. simply iiocause it would not pay to roar them. Thoso who were fortunate enough to retain tho cockerels have of course, benefited by the high prices which have been created by the pronounced scarcity referred to. Existing hitrh values will, however, have a tendency to encourage more people to £0 in for breeding next season, even if feeding is dear.

Writing on Friday. the Bluff correspondent of the "Otago Daily Times" stated: —Last month's take of fish at the Bluff represented a market value of, say, £1200. There were one or two spetlsof broken weather, otherwise the takes would have been perceptibly larger. Blue cod and groper were, of course, the staple products, both fish being in excellent condition. Groper this season has been wonderfully plentiful. All along the coast from South Riverton to \Vaipapapa Point they have been exceedintrly numerous—far beyond anything previously known. Unfortunately, they do not run into as much money as the cod, but their number and quality this season make fairly good amends for the deficiency. The Scout, a Port Pegasus fish-station craft, arrived with a loading of 300, and other carrying crafts have been arriving from tho islands bringing similarly good takes. There has boon an exceptionally good ucmand from the north, which these extra hauls have enabled Bluff fish merchants to cope with. Tho weather, which was cold and blustering for a few days past, has now settled down into the northeast, with every appearance of a line spell, and altogether the fish prospects are satisfactory.

The ordinary meeting of tho CH* Council takes place this evening. :,m Our Dunedin correspondent wirffi that the master bakers interviewed . "u| that city said that they preferred dajl baking to night baking, and that thi former would probably be adopted i*l Dunedin. |; Mr Frank Buckingham, an English concert and amusement ontreprcneaj of wide experience, during his reeea| visit was quite estonishod at the fontf* ness of Colouials for amusement.

By consent between th© pan; ties, a case has been stated for the A* ]R*al Court, and the law jK>ints will &■ argued at the coming sitting. The Sydenham Rifles held their »m nual euchre, party, social and dance _ the Caledonoian Society's Hall on Frfc day evening. The guests were received by Captain Murphy.

Although the eleven floggings order- £ ed by Mr Justice Lawrence to be in- ( j flicted upon prisoners at tbo recent Gla- . Morgan Assizes are unprecendented in point of number since the old garroting days (says an English exchange), the actual whippings themselves will not bo nearly so painful as thoy then were. For at that time tho army-pattern "cat," as it was called, was tn use. This was made of whipcord, and was furnished with "blood knots," specially designed to lacerate the flesh of the culprit. The modern cat, on tho other hand, is made of a special kind of strong twino, carefully bound with silk at the ends to prevent it unravelling, and as it is destitute of knots, it does not break the skin, much less injure the underlying tissues. Nevertheless, the punishment inflicted by it is not exactly pleasant; for each of the nine tails is, of course, a separate whip to all intents and purposes, so that a sentence of twelve lashes means 108 distinct cuts. Floggings nowadays, it , may be mentioned, aro inflicted out of sight and hearing of tho other prison- ' ers, so that the culprit's "pals" cannot jeer at him afterwards for having whimpered before he was "seized up," or for having "given tongue" during the operation. Neither does the sufferer carry with him in after life evidence of having been flogged, as was - the case formerly, when the peculiarly shaped cicatrices which were left on his back by the healing of the wounds made by the blood-knots wero such as y wero easily recognisable ever after- --. wards by any prison governor or other gaol official. r ' FIRE-WALKING IN INDIA. Fire-walking is a religious observance which never fails to arouse tho curiosity and interest even of those who arc most sceptical as to the genuineness of the performance. An account of the : rite as recently performed ►in Madras : is published by the "Times of India," which says guardedly :ir-"We give the . telpgram exactly as it reached us. It comes from a correspondent whose accuracy we have no reason to doubt, but «c accept no responsibility for the facts set out herein." The story itself is as follows:—A unique and extraordinary fire-walking ceremony took place at Nagercoil, the parties who took part in it being members of the Sowrastra or silk-weaving community. For some days there had been ceremonial reading or the Mahabharata, which was followed by tho festival of Drounadi and Ar)tma. Devotees numbering forty underwent partial fasting for fortv-ono onvs. Images were carried in procession through the principal streets, after which came the fire-walking ceremony in a large pit 17ft by 12ft. Forty cartloads of fuel wero burnt from* early Qornmg, and blazing coals nearly 2ft 11 ?i Cre B P rcad ove r the pit and levelled. The devotees, who numbered forty, bathed, and dressing themselves in saffron-coloured clothes. walked straight into tho nit, shouting, "Go- - J? n ' la! , Govindal'' and came un at tne other end, after making a few circuits over the fire. The heat proaoced was intense, and the iron railings ► fc Placed round the enclosure became redDot.
