In adjudicating ;on a dispute between a master and a servant in the Magistrate's Court, says the. "Lyttelton Times," Mr. Kettle, S.M., said that disputes between masters and servants, which were too numerous, would be rare, and much of the time of tho Court would be saved, if employers,' when engaging. servants, entered in a book to bo kej)t for the purpose, and signed by both parties, the name of the eorvant, date of employment, rato of wages, how and when payable, how service was to be determined, and the naturo of tho sorvices to be rendered by the servant. A ■ copy of tho entry should be handed to tho : servant. , The attachment of a dog to .his master is proverbial, and this canine trait received a further illustration (says the "Tuapeka Times") in connection with the death of James Quinn, which occurred recently. When the party which wont out to bring 111 the body reached tho scene of tho accident they found deceased's dog mounting guard over his late master, and no amount of coaxing would induce him to relinquish his post, and it was with the greatest reluctance that the party was compelled to destroy the faithful animal before they oould get possession of the body. ,
