The annual meahgof the I'arnellOrpin ||'| Home was held last evening. There wait |g| good attendance, and the Rev. C.

"" ' p A very considerable amount of time to occupied by the hearing of a claim for £27 j '2< Bd, fur fenc*)g, before Mr. Clendon, j Resident Magistrate, at the Resident !' :i , Magistrate's Coin*:, yesterday. During the }, progress of the caie a co nsiderable amount l« of friction took phcebetv«3n Mr. Mahonr, |i : : solicitor for the plaintiff, Mrs. Colonel Dawson, and Mr. Jackson Palmer, solicitor for Mr. C. R. Tylden, the defendant. Indeed, so much time was taken up bj ' - these disputes, that the Bench had to ' remind the two solicitors that " These m ; fe»sional amenities wasted a good deal of time." The evidence upon several on* tions of simple fact was unusually conflicting, and, rather unaccountably, a great deal of defendant's examination was can coined with Colonel Dawson's title, ana : with military titles generally, a consider able amount of unnecessary warmth beic; ', displayed upon both sides. On one ce» |M sion Mr. Mahony appealed for the prottf ■ tion of the Court again.-1 Mr. Tyldan ;|M manner in the box, but Mr. Tylden said it !j*i| was he who wanted protection against Ml IB Mahony. Judgment was reserved. :|H The man Grant, who attempted toictdt ||| in the Domain by taking poison, still liesit SB the Hospital in a precarious condition. The ;L?| same dispute has arisen in this case MB |M| that of Tabrum, between the Hospital a»i' !||! the police authorities. Dr. Somerriii«i mi house surgeon, applied to' Sergeant Gamble M for a policeman to look after Grant j; If!? That officer declined to accede to tk'";;;',', request, on the ground that the businestof the police was to obtain for the man prompt medical treatment, and that with the Hospital authorities lay the responsibility fa the care of the patients. He further stated |i;| that Grant had had no charge laid again* fc-t him, and not being a prisoner, the poller w were not available. Dr. Somervilie I* |: reported the matter to the Hospital and I f Charitable Aid Hoard, as the Board has 1 passed a resolution that no persons attend I 1 ■< ing suicide were to be admitted as patient* ■ '' unless the police would agree to look aft* I them.

In an article in the Woodrille Examiner, antitled "Jh Gaol for Liter," Mr. E. H. Hajjgen writes :—Amongst iheso men who Decupled the Hospital ward at night was one who had been in a good position on the West Coast. He was under sentence for his third offence. The man was a finely-built, intelligent-looking fellow, with a good side to his character. But he could not keep his hands off other people's property. His last escapade gavo him a lot of work and trouble. He had a fine shop and good business in a West Coast town. Across the street was a. merchant's warehouse, on tho contents of . which he. sot longing eyes. He conceived the plan of making a tunnel under the street from his place of business to the warehouse, Hecarried out the work at night, and a tedious, heavy piece of work it was. However; 'with per««v«m\c& <KotU\y of 'a'" better cause, Be fin\»\wd the tunnel and entered the warehouse. At last the owner began to miss tho goods. Search was made but nothing found, and the police were communicated with. Detective Campbell was sent to investigate the mystery, and stationed himself in the warehouse. During the night ho was scared by seeing a bright light rise out of the earth followed by a man and a long stick. Under the cicumstances he did nothing but kept his position under cover, carefully noting his man. When the enterprising burglar had departed, tho detective secured the assistance of the police and secured their man, who is now in the Torrace Gaol. He is a tinsmith by trade, and a capital workman, and tho authorities make use of him by giving him the tin-plate to make and repair for tho prison. Does Dr. Richardson'* theory of two brains explain such a mysterious case T

The Christchurch Press says: Recent visitors to Auckland have been struck with tie marked signs of revival to be witnessed in that city after a prolonged period of depression. There are several causes contributing to this improved state of things, which there is every reason to hope will be lasting. The most gratifying cause, and the one giving most hope for the future, is the fact that more attention is being given to utilising the land of the province. Improved methods have been brought to bear on the urea estates in the Waikato, for example, MM chiefly by the aid of turnips, their sheep»carrying capacity has been enormously increased. The dairy industry promises to confer great advantage on the settlers of Auckland district, as well m of other parts of the colony, and the benefit of the improved prices for wool has boon found there as well as elsewhere. One special factor from which Auckland derives tho •Mire benefit is the boom in kauri gam.

A new method of dressing wheat for destroying bunt and smut is thus described : —Let sulphur be placed on a plate in a largo cask and ignited ; when the cask is quite full of the sulphurous anhydride fumes the lid is taken off and the sulphur removed; tho barrel is then half or threequarters filled with the wheat, the lid is again pub on and the cask rolled about. The spores are destroyed in a few minutes, whereas the vitality of tho wheat grains remains for the most part unimpaired even after three or four hours' exposure to tho gas. Only the feebler grains succumb to tho attacks of the gas, bub this is by no means a disadvantage.

The Liverpool Journal of Commerce reports that Mr. McMillan, tho European agonb of the Manitoba Government, had stated that while the returns for 1892 show a large falling-off in emigration to the United States and Australasia, the emigration from Europe to Canada had increased by about 2-1 per cent, as compared with 1891. A larger percentage than hitherto of this emigration had been to Manitoba and the North-West. Last year several thousand Americans crossed the international boundary and settled in Western Canada. In view of the agricultural depression existing in the United Kingdom, it was the intention of the Manitoba Gorornmonb to fcako steps to draw the attention of farmers to the resources of that fortilo part of the British Empire.

The seating capacity of the church, and porch, I and vestry was inadequate to accommodate ! the number of people assembled to do honour to the occasion. The Rev. G. B. Monro presided at the after meeting in his usual happy maaner, and humourous and stirring addresses were given by the Revs. A. M. McCallum, I). J. Steele, H. Bull (W'esleyan), and R. Ferguson.
