This will give the publio an idea of what the steamship companies • have to contend against to keep going in i the present coal crisis. Referring to Mr M. Herrold's appoint- | ment as manager of the New Zealand Insurance Company's branoh at Napier, the , Auckland Herald Bays :— " Mr Herrold ia widely known in football and athletic | oiroles, and though pleased to hear of his ( well-merited promotion, his many friends; will regret that it will necessitate his removal from Auokland." . Eats are evidently very numeroim in . the Tuapeka district, Mr S. Henry of [ Lawrence (so the Bruce HeraU is mii formed) destroyed over 1600 of the rodents while threshing operations were being carried on at his (Bellamy) estate Closely-woven wire netting was placed round the stacks while the grain was being threshed, to prevent the rats from escaping. It is said that Mr John Roberts, of Tuapeka Mouth, trapped over 1600 rats around his staoks durine the winter. . & Much interest is being taken in musical circles in the visit of Miss Lili Sharp and M.

We have received the eighth annual report of the New Zealand Department? of Agrioulture. The Government have recently issued some fine publications ut this is assuredly the finest effort yet made in this direotion. The farming and stock industries are exhaustively dealt with, and the volume teems with information. No industry is neglected and many that are in their initiatory stages are dealt with by experts. The Government has done well in publishing such a record. It should go further. anS see that every farmer is provided with one. It abounds in photographio plates -'* explanatory of the text. Anything a New Zealand farmer wants to know in reference to hia calling, can be found in this handy book, whioh should be widely distributed. * A London paper sarcastically remarks : r The latest War Office exploit of gazettl ing a dead man-Sir Henry Meux-aa second in command of the Eoyal Wiltshire Yeomanry, has provoked a burst of derision everywhere ! The more so as theMarquis of Lansdowne himself is Colonel and Mr Long, Lieutenant-Colonel of tht» regiment! Possibly some latent ™ of^ m 6aroaam suggested to the J« Office clerk that blundered; that any dead 'un was good enough to supersede these doughty warriors! No wonder the War Office gazettes dead men to the oommand of regiments I With characteristic promptitude, it has just awarded the India 1854 medal with olasps to William Sheppard, once of the 32nd Foot, and now, at the ag&of 78 living at Dronville, Oodner Park, Derby* shire. Writing of the " Forty Pounds Steal" the Post says : -« Eleven members of the House had the courage to vote against the Premier's propoa.il, and the friends of honest administration should make aoareful note of their nameß. They were. Messrs Atkinson, Buddo, Collins Ell Herries, John Hutcheson. Lang, M'Guire^ Piram, Rhodes, and X W. Thomson' Many members thd. not vote, some probably being absent because they were, worn out by the loDg Bittinßs indulged in. for the ia=t few weeks of the session, while others could not uummoa up th* necessary oourage to oppose the Premier and torn a deaf ear to tk> pleadings of their importunate colleagues. The 35 members who aotwlly recorded their votes in tavov of the -loot" were Messrs U|eK^ b ?V^ • prising to m^VA a U D ZZI the three ' labor '• members for Dunedto on t^e one hand, and representatives Mto < Messrs.
