Worth Seeing To. —ln reference to tho warning to fat mors recently g 'veil by’ Professor Ivey, of the Canterbury Agii-cvUu-al College, as to some seed winch was sold:as wl'ito clover proving to bo Trefolimri minus, Mr M'Queen, manager of Knapdale, has informed the Matin'-a. Ensign that lie had ordered a sample of seed represented as being n mixture of trefoil, win to clover, andals'kc, and seeing the professor’s waiffing had his suspicions aroused.

It is perhaps unnecessary to add that tho order was at once countermanded, and a saving of about £SO made, thanks to Professor Ivey’. The professor, who examines for farmers without charge, stipulated in tho above case that it shoffid bo made public as a warning to others.

Boxing Matqii.— We take the following from the Canterbury Press On Monday evening a glove contest took place in the Oddfellows’ Hall, Litchfield street, to decide tho middle-weight championship of the South Island. The competitors were J. Laurie, who is well known in South Canterbury as a professional pedestraiu, and who has gained some notoriety o; the West Coast ns a boxer, and J. Jones, a recent arrival from Sydney, The stakes were £2O aside. Some local amateurs amused the audience for an hour, and thou J ones and Laurie stepped into the ring. The latter’s weight was list Bld, and the former’s list, MiMartin Tay’lor acted, as referee. Laurie took up a position with his left side to hjs opponent, liis bead bent forward and his hands low, Jones made a little play’, and then got in a quick swinging blow, which caught Laurie on the side of the head, and brought him down. Tho blow must have dazed him somewhat, as he seemed powerless to prevent its repetition. Jones got in a second lighter blow, and then another heavy one which rendered Laurie senseless for a few minutes, and as ho was not able to come up to time Mr Taylor awarded the match to Jones, the time occupied in fighting being about two minutes. Laurie evidently did not take his grewelling kindly’. Guilty’ of Wrong. —Some people have a fashion of confusing excellent remedies with the large mass of “ patent ,i edioines,” and in this they arc guilty of a wrong. There are some advertised remedies fully worth all that is asked for them, and one at least we know of; Dr. Soule’s Apierican Hop Bitters. The writer has had ooca ion to use the Bitters in just such a climate as we have most o f the year in Bay City, and has at way." found them to be first class and reliable, being all that is claimed for them. “ Tribune,”
