The Timaru Herald. FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1886.
Some months ago it was asserted m the columns of 'one of our .contemporaries, who should have been better informed, that scab had at length been stamped 7 out m New Zealand. The joyful intelligence was at all events premature, and eVen now, though the desired end appears to be rapidly approachisg, it has not yet been attained. The., importance of getting rid of the 3 disease was forcibly put- by Mr George Clifford m words quoted last week m an interesting article by the special reporter of the Lytielton Times. "It has r always," said Mr 'Clifford, -"seemed strange to me that the Otago and Can- . terbury men have taken so little interest m the question of the. presence of scab : m the country. It is quite true it does not exist on, their own runs, but it effectually closer a great market to them. You will remember the terrible drought that came npon the Australians a year ago. At that time ewea were m great demand there to replace those killed off by the heat. There would ; have been a good market then, but as 0 long as the New South Wales Govern- ° ment shut their ports to sheep j coming from an infected country, it was impossible to send sheep over. Oae scabby sheep on D'Urville Island was quite enough — if there were not an absolutely clean bill from New Zealand they could not be admitted. But the runholders here said nothing; they made no outcry. Yet it is perfectly possible to make an end of scab by energetic attention." Not that Mr * Clifford blames the department, for he adds : — " The inspectors, as far as I have had anything to do with them, I have found to be active and intelligent men, and well fitted for their share of the work." It may be interesting to many of our readers to know exactly how this scab difficulty stands at the present moment, and what is the prospect for the future. Tbe situation can be summed up m a very few sentences. There is m reality no part of the North Island m which the disease is known or believed to exist, though - as yet it has not been considered advisable to declare every district clean. By proclamation under the provisions of the Act, Auckland, Taranaki, Wanganui, and Wellington ore still deemed to be infected, but that is only as a measure of precaution. A very careful watch is being kept, and m all probability, after another thorough examination by the Inspectors, the whole of the North Island will get a clean bill of health. Remembering, however, the false conclusions which were arrived ' at some years ago m that division of the colony, just before a change of officers, it would be as well for the department to be m no hurry to claim a perfect cure unless on the strongest grounds. Napier and Rangitikei are not deemed infected, and m the latter district there has been no scab for several years. We do not remember that scab ever made its appearance m Napier. Iv the South Island no scab is to be found except m portions of the Marlborough, Westland and Nelson districts. In Westland there are still a few infected sheep ; there are a few more m the rough country of the Sounds ; but the principal remaining seat of the disease is m the Kaikoura sub - division. Altogether, scab has been brought into a, comparatively, very small compass. It is believed that by the end of March a clean sheet will be shown for Westland and the Sounds ; and m Nelson the disease will be confined to a very few sheep > which may be called wild. In short, it is expected that the evil will have been entirely got rid of except m a small belt of country round the Tophouse, and m the Kaikoura district. In the latter the work of destruction is still going on, and, if the efforts which are being made are persisted m, as we have no doubt they will be, hopes may be entertained that, before the lapse of many months, - scab will be entirely stamped out. But t here, again, a word of caution is necessiry. It is no easy, matter to attain certainty, as to the extinction of the disease, especially m the class of country to which it seems now to be ' limited m New Zealand. A favourable verdict, pronounced honestly but m too great haste, might lead to an enormous amount of mischief. There have been 1 blunders enough made m former years, . find though we have very great confidence m the present executive of the department,' a knowledge of the difficulty of .cleaning a rough country, tempts ua once more to express the hope
that there will be no claiming of complete success, until all doubt on the subject bas been removed.
The little Dust Pan has romoved to next door to this office. Inspection of the splendid stock on hand is cordially invited. Major Stuart Ncwnll, District Adjutant, notißcß m our columns that tho Timaru rifle rnngo having been reported as dangerous, all firing on the samo is strictly prohibited. A meeting of the Board of Heviowers will be told at the Courthouse, Waimate, at 11 o'clock on the 30th instant, for the purpose of hearing and determining objections m respect of property m the County of Waimate. At a meeting of the Geraldino County Acclimatisation Socioty on Tuesday evening it was resolved that the season for shooting native game be opened on the Ist April, and for imported game on the Ist May. Mr Jacob Young, baker and biscuit manufacturer of this town, notifies m our advertising columns this morning that his bread is still 6d a 41b loaf for cash, and his biscuits are as cheap as ever. Yesterday was the day appointed for the nomination of candidates for the Licensing Committee of Hakateramea. No interest whatever seemed to bo taken m the election, and no nominations were sent m, consequently there will be no election. Our , Waimate correspondent writes : — Early yesterday morning a very welcomo shower of rain fell m the Waimate district. The rain guagos recorded four-tenths of an inch, a fall which, if not as much as might be desired, at, any rate will do immense good. On account of the inclemency of the weather yesterday, His Worship the Mayor and Borough Councillors did not go to inspect the water race. If. the weather proves fine on Monday next it,is thought probable that they will then make the journey. A special train; from the Wnshdyke to Invercar^ill, consisting of ' between 80 and DO trucks, oontauung about. 2000 ihcep, passed through' Timaru yesterday afternoon. Another of the same size .will, go South to? day. . The sheep. are for Ben More station.; We have received for publication an unsigned letter from an unknown correspondent who insinuates a breach of the law on the part of a firm m town. We must know a good deal more about the case ."before we ifiscrt the communication, and the writer must tell us his namo and address. '• ' ' • M The distribution of prizes to tho children attending the public schools, Geraldine,' takes place at the schoolhouse this afternoon. The prizes consist principally of handsomely bound volumes of standard works, all! of which should be duly appreciated by those who have by care and attention succeeded m carrying off a prizo. , In our report of the Scotsburn Sohool Committee, we mentioned W. Longford npd J, Pythie as being present. It should have read W. Langford and T. Pythie. We ij«o said the percentage of marks was 74.1, which should have been 94.1. This r&flects groat credit on tho school teacher for bringing the scholars through an examination with such a high percentage of marks. Yesterday morning, before J. Manchester, Esq., J.P., a Waimate man who had imbibed too freely of the seductive Walker, and !in consequence became slightly effuiivo and troublesome to more sober citizens, was fined Ss or m, default 21 hours. He had not the shekels wherewith to discharge ibis obligation, and spent the ensuing day and night m retirement. Tho low prico or sheep m tho South Canterbury district is causing much uneasiness. At the recent monthly sale at Malikihi hardly any purchasers turned up, and large numbers of sheep could not be sold at any price. A privato telegram from a run to the north of Waimate County says that a squatter there is prepared to give away four thousand head to anybody who will come and take them. Threshing operations are still being vigorously prosecuted m the Geraldino and Temtika districts, moat of the farmers being determined to have their grain bagged as speedily as possible. At many of the railway stations the grain is coming freely to hand, and the large number of teams moving about makes the district have a very busy appearance. Tho Hey. Mr Clark, who has been having quite a long round of farewell services and soirees m tho Temuka and Geraldine districts during the post week, left the Orari yesterday morning for Feilding, Manawatii, North Island. Mr Clark had been for more than two years m charge of the Primitive Methodist churches at Geraldine and Temuka, and wub beloved by all his parishioners as well as by many belonging to other denominations. Tho fine hot weather experienced lately m tho Temuka and Geraldino districts gave way early yesterday morning to rain, which fell more or less heavily all over the districts named till mid -day, when fclio suQ once more shone forth m all his brilliancy.' About two o'clock, however, heavy clouds covered the Bky, and a good downpour of rain, accompanied by ' peals of thunder, again occurred but did not last longor than bolf-an-hour, when tho sky became once moro clear, and the remainder of the afternoon fine. A rifle match between teams of ten men each, belonging to tho Geraldine and Temuka Rifle Corps, is to bo fired off at the range, Temuka, to-morrow afternoon. The Geraldine team are : — Lieutenant Ward, ColorSergeant Hughes, Corporals Hardcastlo and Millard, Bandsman Word, and Privates Ferguson, Erskine, Shaw, and Gould. The Temuka team — Lieutenant White, Bandmaster Harrison, I.ance-Sergeant Smith, Corporals Levens and Larcombe, Privates Whitehead, E. S. Smith, J. J. Heap, A. Harrison, and Cleaves. The Geraldine team will drive to Temuka, and all the men are expected to roaoh the range at 1 p.m., when the match will be immediately commenced. The match should prove an interesting ono. The Secretary to tho Acclimatisation Society informs us that the young salmon that were lately liberated m the Tomuka river have been frequently seen m shoals of 20 and 30 ; that they have grown to a considerable size, and have travelled as far up the river as McCallum's. In all, we may add, 3000 salmon have so far been liberated, viz., 1000 m the Temuka river, 1000 m the - Opihi and 1000 m the Eangitata. Late on Tuesday night a fire was discovered at the back of Mr Cook's chemist shop, Geraldine, by Mr Raine, but as it had not got a firm hold it was soon extinguished. The charring of a few weatherboards was the only damage done. It was fortunate the fire was discovered m time, for had it got a firm hold nothing could have saved the Crown Hotel and other buildings adjoining.' The cause of the fire is a complete mystery. Just now the insurance agents interested ore making inquiries, but the Police are not aware whether an investigation will be held or pot.
All the white fish ova recently chipped to Nelson are dead. . . The monthly meeting of the Timaru Agricultural and Pastoral Association will beheld tprmorrow at 2 p.m., to consider the annual report and routine business. < The Governor has been petitioned to constitute a Savings Bank. in Wellington. We. cannot imagine why this Btep has been talon. The Post-Oflico Savings Bank does all that is necessary. The acceptances for the Waimate races, which wo published yesterday, must be very gratifying to the handicappers, so many of the entries accepting their -decision. The general impression of the sporting public seems to be that the handicaps are remarkably fair, and that good racing should ensue. A one innings cricket match, betweon the 0 Battery Artillery and the N avals and C.V.. Cavalry, was played on the South Canterbury Amateur Athletic Club's grounds yesterday afternoon, resulting m the defeat of the Artillery by one run. There was A large attendance of ladies. The Hon. Secretary to tho Pleasant Point Jockey Club notifies this morning by an advertisement that the acceptances for the Handicap Hurdles and Cup and entries for tho Maiden Eaco are due to-day. ■ Owners are requested to describe colors to be worn by jockeys, letters bearing to-day's post-mark, will be received. TJp to Wednesday evening we have been experiencing very fine weather, m fact it has been too fine to suit a great number of people. Nor'-westers have been prevalent which, added to the heat of a scorching Bnn, has mado it anything but pleasant. Early yesterday morning clouds began to : gather round and gave every indication of a wet day, which it afterwards proved to be. In fact the rain came down m torrents m the njorning, and again about eight o'clock m the evening. It will do ah immense'amountof good. , . The following is vouched for: '.by a, gentleman m Timaru. ■ A few days ago he was travelling m a second-class ■ carriage to Waimate, m company with a hard-working,- son of the soil, whonvwe will call Smith. At Waimate Junction another man of the same ! name entered the carriage^ and our informant introduced' one to the other. After' a few minutes'- cduyeftalfon one Sttiith asked the other what pa,rt, of the Old Country he came frotn, and '"ofter somo further conversation thoy discovered themselves to be brothers. It appears they came out to Melbourne many yean ago, and lost sight of, one another, each giving the other up for dead. Tho strangest part of all b that they have both ; been working m different parts : of North Otago and South Canterbury for the last four or five years without meeting. i Some rather' amusing scones occurred m the. Magistrate's Court yesterday 1 during' the hearing of the esses against Alleged owners of unregistered dogs. . In two instances the defondants were widows who said the dogs had been left on their hands by young' men who, had " gone to the other side," and they 'could not afford to pay for supporting them, let alone registering them. " The Bench were hard hearted enough to fine them all the same. One man caused some amusement by stating his dog was dead. The presiding Justices asked if it had died since the constable visited his house' to -which defendant replied m the negative, adding he had found it dead before ho was summoned, indeed : it was juat being buried as he was being served. He could not afford to keep it so he had it drowned. The tragic talo of the end of the animal did not avail its master, and he too was mulcted. Possibly had he known what the verdict wag going to be poor Caosar would have been still m tlio land of the living Another man explained he had tried to get someone to kill his dog, but though he did his best he could not find anyone before the policeman came on the scene. Later on a person who did not appear was represented by a friend who said tho defaulter had only just come out of Hospital and had no means, and what was more had to trust to the two dogs for his living. On the Bench inflicting a fine, he told them they were " doing very wrong," a statement which did not disturb their equanimity m the least. Tho very next person called was the "friend" himself, and he had the satisfaction of paying for two of his own dogs. In the lost case but one, the defendant, after pleading guilty, was honest enough to admit that it was through sheer neglect he had not registered, and one would have thought this open confession would have had some effect, but all the thanks he got wa3 to bo told it was all the more reason why he shonld be fined, and fined he was. Wo understand the police ore atill on the war path, and more victims of the Act will have to suffer next week. The population of Victoria on December 31st, 1885, was :— Moles, 529,826 ; females, 462,013 ; tosal, 991,839. The wife of George Foster, of Llanelly, a working man, recently died m great agony through blood poisoning, which resulted from the scratch of a cat. The poor woman received the scratch m the. palm of the hand threo weekß ago, and the wound became filled with washing bluo while performing her household duties. * Mr T. P. Gell, M.P., adduces some startling facts and figures m proof of the growth of landlordism m America, where it appears there are a quarter of a million more tenant farmers than there are m Great Britain and Ireland ; and he assorts that there is an alarming analogy between the agrarian condition of the United States and that of ancient Rome. The Serald is altogether wrong m stating that the tobacco manufacturers of Australia carry on a profitable trade with New Zealand. The manufacturers who do so are olio importers, and they therefore ship the imported article hero, while that manufactured by themselves supply local wants, one result of protection m the tobacco industry m Melbourne and Sydney. An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Caswell Sound Marble Co. is to be held on the 30th instant to consider the advisability of winding up the Company. We trust that the shareholders will pluck up their courage, and not abandon what might, with the expenditure of a little more capital and tho exercise of a little more patience, be made one of the best paying industries m the colony. Some likely-looking Band found by Captain Fairchildinoneof the bays to the north of Auckland was sent Home to be tested at the Manchester Flint Globs Works. The following reply was received last mail : — "Excuse our delay. The sample of sand submitted by you is good. The Talue, as compared with that now here, would be 21s per ton delivered here." Captain Fairchild says that millions of tons of the same quality can be obtained m the bay, and it is thought the discovery may he utilised by sending the sand, Home as ballast.
Typhoid fever has made its appearance m Beefton, induced by the insanitary condition of that town. ADr Whitten, writing to the Serald, draws attention to the numerous fruitful causes' of disease. The handsome sum of £20,320 3s 4d has been handed over to the Trustees of the Gordon Boys' Homo by the Lord Mayor of London, being the amount collected at the Mansion House as a national memorial to General Gordon. A military balloon service has been organised m the Russian Army, and the first experiment was made recently m a trip from St. Petersburg to Novogorod by two lieutenants of sappers, accompanied by a professional aeronaut. The journey of 106 miles was successfully accomplished infive.hours. Mr Duncan Macfarlane, the warden at Jackson's Bay, m Westland, who is at present doing temporary duty at Hokitika m the absence of the Resident Magistrate of the latter place, brought up from the South samples of stream nickel found m the Gorge river. The same locality produces tin and gold, and men working there are making fair wages. The West Coast Times sayß that there is room for a larger population, but the difficulty of obtaining provisions is very great. A private letter has been received from a passenger for San Francisco by the R.M.S. Mariposa, on her last trip at tho beginning of February. The letter says that the Samoan chiefs who visited New Zealand were landed at the Island of Tutuila, about 80 miles to the eastward of Samoa. Thence they were to be conveyed home by sailing vessel. They said tboy wero extremely pleased with the manner m which they had been received by the New Zealand Government. A return which was laid on the table at the hist meeting of the Ashburton - County Council, showed that for' tho year 1885-6 a total of 321,772 Bmall birds' eggs had been collected, at a cost to the Council of £241 6s 7d, the Council allowing Is 6d per 100 for the eggs. . In addition to this, the. various Road Boards gave Is per 100, thus bringing the cost of collection up to a trifle over £400. The eggs collected m the various Boad districts are as follows : — South Bakaia, 35/750; Upper Aehburton, 60,746 ; Xorigbeach, 93,793; Wakanui, 121,450; Mount Hutt, 15,033. A Southland paper says :— Some idea o! .the influence of dairy factories > on. the prici of stock may be gathered from the follow ing : — About three months ago a farmer re Biding a couple of miles from Fairfax was ii negotiation with a neighbor for the purchasi of a dairy cow, but, owing to some; cause o) other, the transaction was not completed al the time, the price • wanted for the anima being £3 10s. About a fortnight ago, however, negotiations were again opened, and much to his disgust, the purchaser was asked and gave £7 for the beait, which he cotilc have bought a couple of months before foi half the -money: ■ ' : v A' well-to-do tradesman of Masterton havihj occasipn,~says the Daily Times, to refer to ai old ledger wbich-was but seldom called inti requisition 1 , drew it forth from its locatioi under the cash draw counter. On blowinj off the dust, he. discovered a half-sovereign ■which must have been there some considerable time, judging from its 1 coating; " Tin worthy tradesman then searched on the flooi and at the back of ;the book-stand, when, U his astonishment, he found no less than twenty half-sovereigns there. He examined the cash till and found the subdivision foi gold containing a crack m it which was just large enough to allow a half-soveign to pas: through. Henco the result. Moral — Bachelors should not be shopkeepers. Had this one been a married man it would have been improbable for Buch an event to have occurred. Referring to Australia, a recent number of the Saturday Bevieio said : — lt is odd how we eeein instinctively to turn to Australia when oppressed by gloomy thoughts of the common weal. " And thus, great daughter of the South, we drink to thee across the Flood" — slightly to alter Lord Tennyson's remarks on that elder, but much less sympathetic, child, America. The reason is that the Australians, thank Heaven, are still human beings, and believe m being human beings, that they have the hearts of patriots, that they are not for rampant philanthropy, impossible peace at unendurable prices, and general anarchy with attenuating circumstances, and tempered* by the best oi motives. That is why everyone m Britain who remains a man of the old sort, looks witi confidence to the great colony ; that is whj every Badical visionary sneera at her, and backs Lord Derby m vexing her. In one shape or other, one day or other, . Australia may yet save the Empire, or be the refuge of all m it that is worth saving. In the course of the year there will be a noteworthy addition to tho House of Peers as Enrl Russell, who comes of age on August 12th, will be entitled to take his seat m the Upper House on that date. How many political associations centre around the name of the young peer, who succeeded his grandfather m 1878 at the early age of 13, his father Viscount Amberley, having died two years previously. There will be only one similar addition to the roll of the Horse m 1886. Lord Athlumney, an Irish peer, who comes of age on March 23rd, taking his seat as Baron Meredyth m tho peerage of the United Kingdom. The second title was conforred on his father, who had been Chief Secretary for Ireland from 1847 to 1852, and was a ones well known statesman. He represented Drogheda. for some years, and was finally member for Canterbury m the days when he was known as William Meredyth. We agree with the Evening Post m the expression of opinion' that very general gratification will be felt throughout the colony at the news that a New Zealand bred horse has won the Champion Stakes. The Hon. J. White mußt be both the luckiest man and the best judge of horseflesh m the colonies, looking at his extraordinary successes m the great race 3on the other side. The three Musket colts Martini-Henry, Nordenfeldt, and Matchlock, purchased by him at different times from the New Zealand Stud Company, have between them won almost every one of the most valuable stakes m Australia, including the A.J.C. Derby, tho V.R.O. Derby (twice), the Melbourne Cup, the V.R.C. St Leger (twice), the Hawkesbury Guineas, and the Champion Slakes. Matchlock, who on Saturday put the seal on Musket's fame as a sire, ran five times as a two-year-old and won twice, his victories being m the Trial Stakes and tho Nursery Handicap at the A.J.C. Autumn Meeting. He met with an accident m the early part of this season, and did not run m any of the great events of the spring. It is very remarkable that just as Nordenfeldt, who was reckoned a certainty for tho St. ledger and Champion, l>rea>ks " down, AlntcHlock, another of Mr White's team, should be brought out m such form aa to be able to win bqth thoie OY en t»< . : .. .
A Berlin surgeon lately removed a quantity of dead bone from a man's arm. Immediately afterwards lie amputated the leg of another man for an injury, nnd took a large piece of the amputated leg and put it m place of the dead bone of the arm. The bone became firmly attached, and made a very successful operation. An English exchange says:— The Fontoffice Department confesses to making money very fast — far beyond its expectations — by the sixpenny telegrams, and will, it is said, be able to contribute a round sum — a much rounder one than before — towards the Chancellor of the Exchequer's cash box. The work is much lighter than was anticipated, and people are, it seems, extravagant m their patronage, preferring, for the sake of saving time, to pay. -sixpence instead of sending a letter for a penny. The anticipated difficulty of the address has disappeared m consequence of the adoption of a word signifying an address by modt of the great firms ; those who naturally receive the " greatest number of telegrams. The telegram work has decreased by 30 to 40 per cent m this instance, and, singularly enough, says the Post-office, people do not desire to have their full sixpennyworth, but abbreviate the body of the telegram as much as possible, as well as by a ■ word for an address. The whole thing has ■ resolved itself into " cutting it short," a wny i beloved of Britons. The Post-office has also I obtained a large source of income through i the guinea a year charged for the registry of > a Bingle word to signify the address of a 1 house of business. It has not often happened • that a great change m any public matter hna ■ worked so quickly to a highly satisfactory issue.
