The Ngapaeruru block, near Danevirke, comprising 13,730 acres will be offered next month. Eleven hundred and thirty-three acres have recently been acquired from Mr J. N. Williams, being a part of the Frimley estate, near Hastings ; and 760 acres of The WillOwß estate, near Gisborne, acquired from the Bank of New Zealand, both of which properties are new under survey, and will be opened for selection about the beginning of April. The warships Eoyalist aud Tauranga arrived in Napier yesterday. In oonnection with the deserters from the Tauranga at Auckland it is significant that when the vessel left the Northern city the band played "Auld Lang Syne" and "The Girl I Left Behind Me." The Tauranga is to be relieved on the New Zealand station by the Mildura at the end of this month. Captain Leslie C. Stuart has been appointed to rep\ace Captain Browne, in charge of the Tauranga. as the latter's term expires next month. Captain Stuart has served on the Australian station before. Most householders in Napier and Hastings have during the last few days had delivered to them sample packets of Brown and Poison's "Patent Corn Flour" and "Paisley Flour." The first mentioned preparation has been before the public for over 40 years, and has become as familiar in their mouths as household words, but "Paisley Flour" is a comparatively new article, which, however, is rapidly becoming an indispensable adjunct to the culinary department. It is claimed for "Paisley Flour" that it has all the advantages of the best baking powder, besides possessing special qualities which render it adaptable for every branch of cookery. Captain Edwin wired at noon yesterday: — Wind: Gale from west to southwest and south at all places northward of East Cape, Taupo, and Eaglan within next 12 hours, and also southward of Timaru and Queenstown, but after from 12 to 20 hours at all other places.

Our Waipawa Cftttespandent says^ fbe Waipawa Volunteers are ordered to Miserable and parade in marching order it 4 o'clock on Monday morning at the Softool grounds. Thence they proceed to the cafflp for seven days. Mr John Watte is appointed caterer, and 'will have an establishment in the camp_. On Wednesday next the volley firing ia to take place, and visitors will be permitted in camp during the afternoon, and I believe afternoon tea will be served. Nest Sunday there will be a church parade. I undeis stand that between 40 and 60 will take up their qnartera in camp, in which great interest is taken by onr young men. fitttaffifg are current here (writes our Danevirke correspondent) of a couple of burglaries alleged to have taken place, on Wednesday last. . It appears that the. house of Mr C. Skelton was gone through first, and a number of small articles appropriated. The house of Mr Wooi« house was similarly visited, the window being forced and broken. The latch, was slipped with a knife, and the house was left by a window on the opposite side to that by which the burgjars entered. The extent of their depredations is unknown here, as the owner is away for a holiday. Mr Skelton's house was also entered by means of the window, it being prized open with an old spade lying about the premises. The police are, lam informed, on the track of the perpetrators, and we may expect shortly to hear some more about the matter. An inquesfc wag held at Hastings yesterday afternoon before Mr Beilby, J.P., deputy-coroner, into . the cireumstancea attending the death «f the infant Charles Cosflop lane. Mr Hnafc waß chosen foreman at the jury, and Constable Butler conducted on behalf of the police. The mother of the child deposed that at a quarter past 2 on Thursday she went in to make the bed. She had not been in more) than two or three minutes when she returned to the door and called the child. She got no answer, bo looked round and saw his' feet sticking out on the edge of the tub. Slheran down and pulled him out, shook him and rubbed him, ran inside and got a jacket, ran across with him to Mrs Moore's. Mrs Moore came out and took the child. They then pnt him into a bath of hot water. Mrs Moore then put him on the table and rubbed him. Mr Moore was called, and he went for the doctor. Dr. Linney stated that he found Mrs Moore had done everything that was possible before he arrived, bnt the child was evidently dead before he got on the scene. The jury returned a verdict- of accidentally drowned. ' < Students are now being enrolled foe the next session of the Lincoln Agricultural College. As this college is the. only ' institution of its khid in the. colony, and young New Zealandere can obtain there • a thoroughly scientific knowledge .of farming in all its branohes, and the number of students' admitted is limited, those intending to make application this year should notify the director,. Mr J.» Bayne, at once. Panning is no longer the haphazard occupation it used to be. To succeed the farmer requires a much more complete education than' _is necessary in many other pursuits. Knowledge as to the germinating power of seeds, the analysis of soils, and any of the sciences attending agriculture, dairying, or veterinary work is an absolute necessity in farming of the present day to make it a profitable pursuit. Mr J. Bayne, M.A., ~B.Se. in agriculture, is the director of the establishment, and he is assisted by a number of able assistant professors in land survey, bookkeeping, natural science, physics, and innumerable other branches of necessary science. The College is one of the finest buildings in the colony, and is . surrounded by a large area of land, which is worked by the students in order that they may obtain practical knowledge, and is farmed in such a way as to include everything appertaining to all classes of colonial farming. Students attend lectures during one week, and the next week go out ana do nraotioal work. ,The students who have been through 'Lincoln College are in great demand, aa their studies have fitted them for any position in connection with farm work. Consumption is responsible for more j deaths than any other disease. No less than 623 persons die annually in New Zealand from consumption, and aa medical authorities now nold the disease to be not - merely preventable, buts curable, the directors of the Australian Widows' Fund Life Assurance Society . nave had 100,000 copies of a pamphlet, by Dr. P. Jamieson, printed for gratuitous circulation. The society intimate that a copy of it can be had at their office on application, personally or by, letter
