Concluding its description of the attempts made io save the man Clegg who jumped from the top if the building at the fire at Hordern's, the Sydney " Evening News " says :— " One more wild effort was made by his fellow-employea to save his life. hey dashed forward with tarpaulins on i he roadway in front of whare he stoed, and shouted to him to jump. This was a hope, though a desperate one, for the apparent ly doomed man, but it nas rudely dashed aside. The police authorities considered it was useless, and they thought the building might fall on the rescuers. The latter,were accordingly diiven back, and a few seconds afternardf, through the raging flames and smoke, Clegg descended to his death. The onlookers, and the "Evening News" represent at iire have the names of several, say that the body fell to the ground on ( he exaoi, spot in Gipp-street over which they had held the tapaulin." Canvassing on behalf of candidates for Parliament is forbidden by the Electoral A.ct of last year, ani the iest notion took effect for the first time at the byelections of last week.

"I have," telegraphs the Dunedin correspondent of Christchurch " Truth, " "good authority for stating that the recent count of th- sheep in New Zealand shows a large increase for the year, and the figures, at any THte for the South Island, will give a complete answer to the pessimists who foretold tha the freezing industry would result in bringing down our flocks. The increase is chiefly noticeable in in Canterbury, but Southland has also a good return to show. It is averted by the " Hawkes Bay Herald " that hundreds of acres of that beautifully marked w 'od, the rewarewa (native honeysuckle), are being desi royed in New Zealand every year, and yet cabinet - makers are pa>iog la to 2s 8d a foot for tho best pieces o£ the timber. The chief demand for re ware wa is for picture-framinjr, the roughly-finished lengths of mouldings readily selling at 3d a foot. The Canterbury sheep bnyers are apparently still operating freely in Southern Otago, and a large number of sheep have been purchased in the Milton district by them during the last few days. I he gross purchases so far as the " Bruce Tlerald '' can ascertain amount to some SOuO sheep, no less than 5000, consisting principally of ewes, wethers, and small lines of lambs, having been taken by one speculator from Pleasant Point. The sheep will be sent north in special trains. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in Chicago.
