Mr W, England has given notice that at the Hafcfcour Board aaeetifcg to be held on the'2nd proximo, he "will move: " Thai by-law No. 3a, dated November 12th, 1895, be amended i£a the following direction-: 'That wharfage on wheat, oats, and barky, be at th<e> rate of Is per ton of 22*9.1b5. instead of Is *6d as at present.'"

Victoria has recently floated a Government loan within her own borders, New South Wales is going to do the same, and lately New Zealand -raised a loan over there. This 3s not altogether a good sign, says a prominent commercial man. It means that there is less desire to go into new Teurures, and to stick to the well-worn paths of .industry. There was a time when the people' would Jiave used this money in some new venture, but in view of pa6t experience there is not now the same disiposition to lsanfch out.

The case of late manager of the " New Zealand Times " against the company, for alleged wrongful dismissal, was settled out of Court. Counsel for the defendants said that Mr Jenkinson, had been appointed manager for a term of three years, and iis services were dispensed with when a little over a year was unexpired. The removal of the plaintiff from the position of manager was brought about in j connection with extensive ' changes in the j shareholding proprietary of the. company,; and the new directors took over the personal management of the 1 business that!; plaintiff had previously performed. The; question of plaintiff's fitness :for the posi-' tion wsss not in any way involved. The -Ashburton Borough Council have decided to accept the offer of the Canterbury Frozen Meat Company to slaughter for the borough at the Fairfield works, at the following killing rates:—Cattle, 5s per head; calves, 2s per head; pigs, Is 6d perlhead; sheep and lambs, 7d per head,; the" above charges to include Government ] inspection fees. These are for a four years' contract. If the term is made seven years, Mr -Waymouth offers'to reduce them 'by on sheep. He said the new agreement involved- a saving'»of £175 .9s 9d a jear as compared with though the latter place had double the population to work upon.. There was a difference in favour of Ashburton of .2d on sheep, 9d on cattle, Is on calves, and Is 6d on pigs. They'would have the cheapest abattoir in New Zealand, and, he wotdd add, the most effective. •

Speaking of Ngapara, -oil. Monday evening, Sir W, J. Steward said that the time would yet" come when the £)amaru-Naseby line would have to 'be j>ut through, for passengers, from Christchurch- for the centre ,9f Otago would -not be content to go on to Dunedin to get there, when they might so easily make the journey through Oamaru. Thirty;yeais.ago, as Mayor of Oamaru, .he went over ±o Naseby;.and addressed meetings there in advocacy of a railway to . connect Central -Otago' sooth Oamaru, with less thau £0 aniles-of iMne. A survey was made in. this connection, and it was ascertained that the grade would be no steeper than 1 in. 50; there-would be only one tunnel, a comparatively easy one, while the cost would aaawraut to ' oily £167,000. Since that time four -or "five times thatamount had fceen sexpended.in laying down the present- Cental Otago-line, which was even now far- from satisfactory. - -

" THE _-ffi?T:®MQER."; v We have to thank, the - publisher, Mr J. J. Forbes, for sending 'us a. copv of "The Art .-Reader,"--a- series' of readings on art, illustrated %• > reproductions of famous masterpieaes jmpainting, sculpture, and ■ architecture,,.. ..The deader -lias- -beenspecially prepaisd fqrmseiia schools as a supplementaiy reading,-book, by : P.- ~E, Quinn. We gather -from the preface that thq Reader is much Tised in- the schools of Australia. It- 5s je no sense xi text book, and the technical -treatment, of. art and architecture has not "been attempted. For reproduction in ihs illustrations b,nly those works have "been se'ected concerning the merits of which taste is not'-Kk'ely'to change its verdict; and iit 5s loped that the train- - ing of the eye involved in. viewing these reproductions wilL encourage the study of painting, sculpture -and architecture. *The lessons which accompany them are explanatory and historical, rather than critical; and technical terms -have been, as far as possible, avoided. As'the Art. Reader is intended for senior classes there has been no hesitation m ihe tree of quotations from 'English literature, -wshere such quotations seemed appropriate and instruGtrve. The ■-vast majority.-of the children, educated in. our state and private schools ;tep straight 'from the senior classes into Ihe- wor'd '- Comparatively few enjoy tbe yrivilege of pursuing their -studies at- the tmiversity, and it is -fair to assume that the senior pupils in our schools are, at least, well trained 'm' English, and wall' find no difficulty in Understanding and appreciating an-extract from an English -classic 'in • prose or- verse.
