. Now Zealand will not be represented at the meeting of Promiors about to bo held in Hobart to disoußs tho free exchange of Australian products. Another report has been recoived by the Governmont from Mr. Freyberg, in London, relative to tho use of New Zealand timber for wood-paving purpoeos. Mr. Freyberg Strongly urjjeß that ovory Btep should bo taken to send Home a quantity of timber Buitable for pavements, and predicts a ready Bale for it at remunerative prices. Tho French Consul in New Zealand, Viscount Jon ff ray D'Abbans, is convinced that if the morits of New Zealand woods wore brought bofore his Government considerable quantities wonld be used in Pariß, and ho intends to move in the matter at an early date. As to the cauße of the late mortality among fowls at Lyell Bay, Mr. W. Skey, of the Colonial Laboratory, writos as follows :—: — In rogard to this matter, I would liko you, in the interests of the owners of fowls, to publish the fact that, upon the same day, I nad tho contents of tho crops of Botno of thoßO fowls handed to mo. I reported to the owners of these fowls that I had found some flying ants in these contents, and I attributod thoir deatbs to their having eaten flying ants. I have seen fowls die almost immediately after eating these insects, nnd with tho samo symptoms that I hear were manifested by tho fowls examined from Lyell Bay. When those insects are about, it is well to give tho fowls a good feed, or shut thorn up. TWO HUNDBED AND FIFTT POUNDS 1 worth of Christmas presents to bo given away by Mr. C.
