To the Editor of the Otago Daily Times. Pin,— Knowing you are ever willins to lend your', useful columns for the public good, I beg you will it joVe publicity to this statement of our grievances. |l I am an Arcadian : that is to say. I live in that dense: i evening resort oal'ed the Arcade. Every one must be aware this place is crammed with people every.] evening, from dusk until midnight: some come to| buy, some for a stroll, some for a lnrV. tm'l many to: : get up a row, and, taklncr advantage of tne same, tO| Meal : others make it their business to annoy everyifemale who may be walking through. lam sure thnt , tho fact that we have not a policeman on the beat, i must be owing only to want of thought on the part of tlie authorities, for in no part of the town is there mich a stem necessity for their vigilance, and T know the very Fight of the'blue coat and shiny bat will tendj to keep the mob within the bounds of dconcy. I With apolo.z>' for takina up so much of yonr_ vain- ■ ablo spivce, and hoping this may prove a step in the proper direction, I sign myself, yours, kc. Pupfaway. j, Dun&din, Feb. 24, 1862. i

CABBAGE BLIGHT. To the Editor of thu Daily Times. Sir, —A preventive of th« cabbage blight, if not «j complete remedy, may be found in the application of sulphur. The recipe, as stated in the Yeoman, is as follows : Steep the early Enfield ninvket, and Shepherd's largo early cabbage, and cauliflower seed for twelve hours, in sulphur, dissolved in a littlo water, when it will bo ready for sowing. Shade the tender plants from the fierce rnys of the sun, and occasionally apply water and liquid manure from guano or pigeon's ' dung; perhaps fowls' duns would do as well. Should the aphis, or eablmue blight, subsequently appear, it would be worth while, as nn experiment, to see what would ba the effect of a watcrinar with sulphur water, strengthened with a mild liquid manure as above. A dish of cabbngo impregnated with milphur would not be a bad tiling—especially in the BPrine\ Anus. ■■
