The Examiner, in its last issue, made an unwarrantable and impudent attack on the Bush District Farmers’ Flub, and falsely asserted that the funds of the, Club had during the year been wasted on dinners and liquors. It further stated that the meetings were entirely unproductive of good and that members only attended for a lark.” The Examiner’s own columns have borne a refutation of the latter malicious and lying statement, in the shape of papers read before the Club and a report of the discussion tlu reon —-in every instance both the papers and the discussions being of interest and value to the farmers and settlers. A glance nt last year’s catalogue of the Woodville Pastoral and Agricultural Society’s show reveals the fact that the Club offered no less than t'lf> 15s in special prizes, which effectually disposes of the slanderous assertion that the funds had been wasted in dinnersand liquors. The most practical and progressive of j tin* farmers of the whole district are | ivgular attendants at. the Club’s met l j mgs, and the exchange, of ideas has in i many instances led to a better and j inon profitable working of properties j J ..K pi t . ious’y. rime and again tin j Farmers’ Club has amply juiti- ! lied its existence, and had testimony of th • * llicacy and popularity of its ! methods.

Abraham and Williams advertise entrios for their Palmerston Sale on Thursday next, when some extra good lines will be offered. Messrs Abraham and Williams call attention to the sale of Mr Orr’s dairy stock on Wednesday. . This is a splendid opportunity for procuring some really first-class stock. Hawkins and Oudaille’s stock sale tomorrow will afford buyers an opportunity to invest in all classes of stock. The auctioneers add to tho list to-day more dairy stock and 3002-tooth Lincoln ewes in lamb to Lincoln rams. A very succueeful sale of fruit trees was held on Saturday afternoon by Messrs Abraham and Williams. The trees were from the well-known nurseries of Messrs Polglase of Pahiatua, and Hale of Nelson. Mr J. Wwodhouse, clothier and mercer, has a replace advertisement in this issue. Hie establishment is well-known in town as containing nothing but the very best of goods. Three millions of the Bank of New Zealand stock were subscribed by the public in small sums. Mr Lee Smith, tho New Zealand delegate to the Ottawa Conference, thinks that New Zealand might give Mr Iluddart £ISOO additional upon sentimental grounds, if the other.parties contribute equally. Mr Foster, of Canada, considers tho benefits to bo derived from the eventful rivalry and quickening of tho Suez route a strong argument in Mr Huddart’s favor. Messrs Abraham and Williams make e xtensive additions to their Pahiatua stock sale to be held on August 7th. The usual fortnightly meeting of Court Pahiatua. A.0.F.. will be held this evening in the new hall. A deputation from Makuri goes to Wellington to-day to interview the Minister for Lands Valuations. A petition is also

Colonel Dennison, of Ottawa, addressing the Federation League in London, urged that it would be necessary for the British Government to grant preferential rates to . m Cam wm by closer bonds there would be a danger of her breaking away. America was intriguing to that end. It is rumoured the Colonial Office is convinced that the annexation of the Ni cker Island by Hawaii was the result of an incautious disclosure of the Government’s intention by an eminent Australian visitor to Honolulu. The press unanimously expects a peaceful solution of tiie Coreati quarrel. The great Powers are exchanging notes on the subject. A telegram from Shanghai states that war has actually been declared between China and Japan. Several Chinese warships have met with mishaps. Information :s meagre owing to communication with Corea being interrupted. Lloyd’s have received a telegram confirming the declaration of war. Bir J. Bogle, in an article in tho United Service Magazine, urges that it is imprudent of Great Britain to nag at and intimidate the colonies iuto contributing to the Imperial naval defence. Tho report of the Kanaka rising in New Caledonia turns out to be unfounded. It arose through 3000 natives assembling at a feast to celebrate the yam harvest. The settlers'became alarmed at the size of the gathering, and telegraphed for a warship. Tho quarterly meeting of the Bush Districts Farmers’ Club took place at Woodrille Friday evening, Mr s. Bobos presiding. An excellent address on the dair> jplustrj w;i'given by Mr Roberts, l ■ Union, and was afterwards discussed. Altogether a very pleasant evening was spent.
