By the first express yesterday Mr and Mitt Joseph Lee and family of a&ven. accompanied by Mrs Edward Lee, all well and favourably known in thsp Temuka township as farmer proprietory of the old established Bolts Head butchery, took departure for Queensland, where the three families of Edward. Jtiitpb and V\ alter Lee have taken op land and will make their homes. By their departure the country ha& lost no fewer/than seventeen souls that it could ill aHfltd to lose, and it is regretted that not ®nly are they a loss, but they are taking with them the savings of years to take op land on much easier conditions than they could do so in this country. /

An eccentric resident of Oanvarn who died recently had long hail a hobby for accnnittlatmg books. He had acquired a heterogenous cbflecliion of some- ZOOO volumes, dealing witit history, theology, philosophy. New Zealand literature, and literary cariosities. It had been his in* tent ion to bequeathe these- to the town in which he spent htt»* hermit life, hat he passed away withoni specifying this wish in a will. Th-a library, therefore, came under the hammer of an auctioneer at Oamara on Saturday. The "Star says that an enterprising hook dealer of Dunedih travelled to OtmanJ. fondly expecting to secure half the collection a* low prices. He soon found that he- had indulged delusive hopes. Th+» residents of the town are neither so poor nor 30 unKterary as her had fancied. Many of the prices offered made his moath water, ami led him to wish that he had taken itis stock with him. instead of his cheque book. Bidding throughout was hnsfc and brave.

Some civil business was transacted at the Magistrate's Court yesterday, when Mr C. A. Wray. S.M.. presided.." Judgment- for plaintiff by default was given in the cases. Xew Zealand Loan and Mercantile' Agency Company r. Daniel O'Boyle, claim £ls and cos!?, and in W. Quirk (Mr White} v. Angus McDonald, claim £8 l£s Sd anil costs, less £5 paid on account. A defended case, which, the Magistrate remarked .should have: been tic'ttliid out of Court, was presented for t.e.i'ing. It was one in which C. -MeKinnon. a horse trainer (Mr Jordan), sued 11. C*. lira ham, an owner (Mr White; for 17* lOtl. The tfbnh* thing was a mixed-tip affair and involved wages, cost of horse expenses and dividends. Thr defendant admitted owing £5 6* which he lud paid into Court- together with ICU ca»ts. but pat in a counler claim for refunds of unexpended expen-e moneyspaid to plaintiff, for tae cost of sort? oat* which McKinnun should have parti out of his wages and .for money advances! for inrestmsnt on tire totalizator. Taking inlo consideration Mr Jordan's objection that this last item was irrecoverable and s-honld he struck out because it wr» money lent or paid in respect of a wager and came;within the meaning of the tiaming Act. and bearing in mind also thai any balaic? from expense money should have been returned to Graham, His Worship gave a verdict for plaintiff for sc. 3d and costs.

As a lot of probable mr.tor car buyers are afraiil of the upkeep they would do well by calling at the Garage of Messrs Skeates and liockaert where they can get full particulars of the new arrangement which this firm has made', and that, is to give a guarantee for the up-keep per year, for every car which they sell; this guarantee includes storage, oil, cleaning, tyres, and in fact everything except petrol. The reason why this firm can guarantee the upkeep is that by the past seven years experience they have found that the Darracq and Dedion cars aro by far the cheapest on the market, as regards upkeep. When one thinks that Darracqs triumph, in turn, in speed races pure and simple, where they have many a time brought off splendid victories in reliability trials, and in tests of petrol competition, it i 3 a clear proof of the multiple qualities of the ideal car, which ha.* parsed its tots in all tournaments open to the motor industry throughout the woild. ...
