On Saturday evenftfg groceries valued at about £2O were* stolen from Bishop and Clark's grocery store at the corner of Holmwood road and liossall street, and a baker's and confectionery shop in the same block of buildings, the Rossall Kitchen, was broken into and goods worth about £5 taken. Twenty pounds in money was stolon from Mr H. C. Barley's home in Tui street, Fendalton, on Saturday morning, while all the occupant's were away. Entrance was gained by the thief forcing a back door. A motor-ear, owned by the Rev. P. N.

The main door was then opened. The ear was recovered at tho Bealey on Sunday, and the occupants,. two brothers named Coad, were arrested.

An extraordinary run of whitebait was reported in tho Waiinakarivi during tlio week-end. Large shoals of herring of more than average size were also observed; In one hour's rod-fishing one man landed over 100 herring. The life and work .at tlio Canterbury Agricultural College at Lincoln from the students' point of view is fully described in tho December issue of the College magazine. The editorial deals with that well-worn subject, the depression, but the rest of the magazine, with its usual college notes, its records of tho college's successes on tho playing fields and in the agriculturaK show ring, is n-orn cheerful in tone. The College prize list, full sports and a list of the prizes won at the various country shows are full of interest and, in addition, there are articles on technical agricultural subjects, several photographs of new buildings at the college and of football teams, and any number of original and humorous articles and verses. There is also a section devoted to the doings of old boy8 t as well as staff notes and notes of the house activities at the oollege.
