Apples.—A Tokornairiro paper anticipates that in a year or two apples will be as cheap as potatoes in the southern districts of the province, Pheasants.—The crop of a pheasant killed at Cabbage Tree Swamp was left at the N. Z. " Herald" office by a gentleman with the following memorandum :—" This should surely plead for their protection." An examination of the crop showed to us nearly two hundred caterpillars of various kinds, over a dozen pupse of moths, two or three worms and slugs, and some young trefoil leaves. Not a single grain of any description of seed was to be found. Of course we need not comment on this. Extension op Borrowing Powers op the City Council.—The Christchurch City Council has passed the following resolution:— " That this Council is of opinion that it is advisable to obtain an amendment of part No. 16 of the Municipal Corporations Act relative to borrowing money, and to apply to the General Assembly for an act empowering the Council to borrow money for permanent works extending over a period not exceeeding fifty years."
