Strychnine—for their destruction—can be obtained in; one oz sealed bottles, and full instruction will be given how to prepare the grain. Our process of preparing poisoned grain is easy and very successful. Obtain your strychnine from L. B. James, Chemist, Timaru.... A general clearance has been made in the harhour over the site of the proposed new wharf between the Moody Wharf and the north mole: the coal hulk has-'b»en shifted to a new berth on the south side of the Moody wharf, a hnoy has been taken away "and the surf boats sliifUWl, two of them, in the last stage of decay, having been hauledup on the old landing servic- skids used in ihe days of old. before there was such a thing as a harbour at) Timaru. Yesterday dredge 350 was encased in dredffing out the berths along the sule of the wharf which is to come. Mr Armita<re. on attending ihe Harbour Board's meeting for the first, time yester- .!:.- as successor to Mr .1. Eraser, thoughthe would be given Mr Eraser's seat, but instead' of that a chair w.-.i as-signed him at tlm other end of the fable, in accordance, it appears, with some unwritten law that new members start at. one end of the tableand in course of time reach-the other, where the older members, Messrs Skinner and Th.-w. occupy the seats assigned to honourable seniority. An exception has been made in the case of Mr Manchester, who sits near the tyros, in order to near the fire in the winter.

An analysis of exports of frozen meat from New Zealand, as shown in a, table compiled by Dalgefy and Co. for the Shaw, Savilf and' Albion Company, shows that, for ihe sirs months ended June 30th last, 994,855 carcases of lamb were sent nwav. 2,135.801 carcases of lamb and 21.528.17.i1b5. of bepf, the total consignments of all kinds of meat, including legs and pieces being 151.27.9.0861b5. in weight. When it is. considered that this represents merely sirs months" shipments, whereas the total amount, sent away in 1882 aggregated 1.707.7.281 bs., it will at once be seen what strides the frozen meat industry has made. Tn the Drst period dealt with in the latest tables, shipments were sent from Auckland,' G.'sborne, Napier. Waitara, Wanganui, Patea, Wellington, Pictnn, Lyttelton, Timaru, Oamaru, Port. Chalmors and Bluff. The exports from Timaru totalled 108,484 carcases of mutton (5,537,9541b5.), 410.937 carcases of lamb (14.424,0091b5.), and .7.6931b5. of beef.

Three breaches of the Borough by-law formed a subject of charges at the Magistrate's Conrt yesterday. F. Bak.T, who did not appear but was represented by Mr Cook, was charged with driving a motor car after dark without lights. Mr Cook entered a plea of guilty, bui staled that there had been no deliberate intention of breaking the by-law; the defendant had taken a car out from a repair shop for a trial run, but it broke down when in the country, with the result that fhrdefendant did not arrive back in town until after dark, at 6.30 in the evening. Mr Wray, S.M.. taking the. circumstances info consideration, entered a conviction and discharge. W. Foster and G. Emerson were charged with cycling on footpaths. The first, while pleading guilty, stated that he rode on the path because the roads were so bad, to which" His Worship replied that he knew the state the roads were in, but this did not -justify anyone in taking to the paths with their cycles. He imposed lines of 5s and costs in bot h case.-.

The Harbour Board yesterday spent a long time in disenssing the. question whetlter they should refund to the Westport Coal Company part of the cost of making a passable road into thp company's yard on the beach. The Board ought to have provided an access, by making a part at least of Fraser .street "(parallel with Hayes street), but owing to delays- oyer the construction of a railway siding along the street- the roadway could not be. made. The siding, asked for a, year ago, -was completed last week. But before- this came the great rain storm, which converted the then available access into an impassable bog by softening the clay filling on the section, and Mr Gillies had to do something to enable his drays lo get in and out of the yard. The "simplest way was to make a. short piece of sound road and this he had made by putting down a foundation of spalk, covered with broken metal. The majority of the Board objected to pay anything for this because it is* not on a street lino, and because itwas dono without any reference (o the Board.

So great has been the demand for the wonderful Broadwood Piano-player, that the one selected for Timaru only arrived on Monday and it was disposed of yesterday, and hence it is impossible for the manager of the Dresden to give the eoncert, for which a number of invitations had been issued. It is however, only an opportunity deferred to hear this new invention, for within ten days another shipment is due and the date of the postponed concert, will then be duly announced. Meanwhile many new songs have been received at the Dresden, for which an early inspection is invited, and many bargains in violins, banjos, mandolins attract large crowds daily. ...

The remarkable strides made by the "Lawrence-Kennedv-OiHies" milking machines during the past six years is shown by the fact that 1016 machines have been installed to dale in New Zealand alone. During the first four experimental years, n total of only 142 machines were installed, while during 3906 and 1907 the salfs reached a total of 874 machines. The complete list of names and addresses of New Zealand users furnished by the agents, is certainly unmistakeable evidence of the continued success and increasing popularity of the " L.K.C" milker. .T.
