TOWN & COUNTRY.

The Wellington-Brindisi despatch of mails of April 23rd arrived in London on the night of 28th May. " Yes," said a witness before the Supreme Court yesterday, we came to blows in a neighbourly way, shook hands, and made it up again as men should do." There were large attendances on Sunday last at the services held in celebration of the anniversary of the Wnimataitat Wesleyan Church. The Rev. W. Balimber was the preacher in the morning, and the Rev. D. MeNicoll m the evening. The anniversary tea will be held to-morrow night at <i o'clock, to be followed, by a concert and sale of work. In connection with the latter several attractions will be provided. The following is the Rev. D. C. Bates' general weather forecast:— " A westerly area of low pressure i-! now approaching the South Island, and unsettled and stormy weather is probable, particularly south of New Plymouth and Castlepoint. Northerly winds, strong to gale, are probable in the south, and moderate to strong from the same direction soon elsewhere. Barometer falling everywhere, and especially in the southern districts, where the lowest reading is expected on the 3rd inst."

With the approach of winter comes the demand for indoor amusements, and throughout the world none is more health-giving and recreative as roller skating. With the advent of ballbearing mechanism, skates have made the same .strides as the up-to-date bicycle has made over the old solid tyre plain bearing cycle that preceded it. On Saturday evening next the rink at the Drill Hall will he opened for the season, nnder new management. and those who indulge in this healthy winter pastime will be able to enjoy themselves. The rink throughout is equipped "with the latest hallbearing skates, and with bright music, good management, and an Excellent floor, should be a welcome addition to amusements in Timaru this winter. •The services of the Plunket nurse in Timaru, Sister Alice, are in growing request-, as the number of mothers who have sought her advice has doubled within a short time, over sixty being now on her visiting and correspondence list; The utility of the nurse is to be further extended to mothers who are not nursing at present, and to young women who are contemplating the making of a home, by the establishment- of a class in home nursing and domestic hygiene in connection with the Technical School, of which Sister Alice will be the instructor. Her lesions will, as far as possible, he made life-like by practical demonstrations. They will deal with various matters included in the hygiene of the home generally. but especially directed to the rearing of children. In a course of twenty practical lessons. Sister Alice mnst impart a large amount of valuable information, ,and the fee for the course is a moderate one of 10s. An introductory lecture (free) will be given in."the school at linlfpast three this afternoon by Dr. Gabites, on the aims and objects of the course. At a meeting of the advisory committee of the Public Library yesterday, Mrs McGifford was selected from among thirteen applicants for the post of cleaner. One or two routine matters were dealt with, and the committee adjourned from the Borough Offices to the Library to inspect the reading-room (news and magazines), which is now ready for use. The room looks' very well indeed, and the public should find, their convenience has been well studied in the arrangements made. The official opening has been fixed for 2.30 p.m. to-morrow, when the architect (Mr Panton) will formally hand the key pf the" front door to the Mayor, who will open the Library to the public. The Hon. T. Mackenzie has promised to be present, and the president- of the late Mechanics' Institute .will also make a few remarks on the change from the old site to the new. Given a find afternoon, there should be a considerable gathering. If line the short- addresses will be made outside before the door is opened: if not line, they will he made in the read-ing-room. In reply to an enquiry at the Committee meeting, the librarian said it would take a couple of months at. least to get the book department in order.

The annual concert of the Pleasant Point Caledonian Society was held in the Public Hall on Thursday last and as usual was a great success. Mr James Stewart,, the president of the society, made a first-class chairman. Performers were present from Timaru, Temuka, Hazelburn and Totara. The concert was opened hy Mr Jackman, who contributed a selection on the bagpipes at the opening of the first and second half of the concert. Vocal items were given by Misses Geanev, Beri, Orton and Cartwright, Mesdames W r . Jeffries and P. W. Salmon, Messrs Weatherspoon, Coira, Salmon, Waugh. Chapman, and Jeffries, and a fine exhibition of clnb swinging by Mr O'Donohue. Encores were numerous, and readily responded to, to the accompaniments being plav&l by Misses Oeanev and Beri, and Mesdames Jeffries and Salmon. At the conclusion of the performance Mr George Crozier one of the directors moved a very hearty vote of thanks, to the performers, and this was given with applause. The visitors were then treated to supper provided by the society, after which the hall was cleared and a most pleasant evening was bronght to a close with a dance.' At a committee meeting the secretary submitted the balance sheet of the concert, showing a profit of over £O. which was regarded as very satisfactory indeed. It was decided to hold the annual fancy dress ball on Thursday, 29th July, and that- prizes be given for the best fancv dresses.

A" witness at the Supreme Court yesterday, speaking in stentorian tones and a kind of " conquering hero" air, modestly declared that- he was one of the manliest men in New Zealand with humanity, and would be to the death. Holding out one hand he referred to what he euphemistically termed * hi*

••bunch of fives" and tolcl the Court how he was prepared to break the law with them if need he, in order to avenge what he considered an insult. Again, he declared, 111 reply to a question, that "never in my living life have I exchanged blows with -that man: I would not stain my hands on him." The witness gave the Court to understand that he saved his "bunch of fives" for foes more worthy of him than the man referred to. He repudiated with scorn, a suggestion that he had ever fought with one of the accused persons then in the dock, saying that not one of them was man enough for him. Then turning to His Honour, the witness said: "I am supposed to tie pretty good, and 1 advise every man for his own good, to keep dear of me. As for allowing three men to hammer one, he added, I would commit suicide before. I would stand by and allow such a thing to happen." The Court took the man'." rord for it, and with a broad smile His Honour directed that the business should proceed. When your throat is dry and huskv. a Zymoie Trokey will relieve that (lisairreeable feeling. Zymole Trokeys give the mouth a cleansed and refreshed sensation. 1

Mr Logan, of Campbell and Logan, who have taken over Messrs Barr and Co.'s produce business. Jias been for ma ivy years with Messrs Guinness and LeC'ren, and Mr Campbell lias been for a lons time in the employ of Barr and Co. There is probably only one generally recognised way of driving cattle, but a witness at the Supreme Court yesterday mentioned a new way—one which lie had adopted himself. lie said that he had not hurt a particular i lot of cattle in taking tliem' to the pound, having driven them "like chicken?." Interviewed at Christchurch last night, Mr Clement Wragge said the disturbance' " Buddo.'' at present on the way between Tasmania and New Zealand, was certain to cause very heavy weather in the Tasman Sea. ami when it strikes New Zealand will affect the whole of the Dominion. •' Ngata," another disturbance, should arrive on .Tune 13th. Some accused persons when called on to appear at Court yesterday did not come promptly and Judge Denniston wanted to know where they were. Their counsel said they were witlim the precincts of the Court. "And where might that be," asked His Honour. "My experience is that ' within the precincts of the Court' too often means : at the nearest public house.' "

The senders of wedding cake to Mrs John Wallace, Kilkith Lochaus, Scotland, and of a paper to Mrs John Browne. Meadowside. Ireland, are requested to call at the ]x>st office.

The South Canterbury Harriers hold their weekly run at Teniuku to-morrow, when the club will be entertained by Mr S. Malthus. Members leave by the 1.30 p.m. express. Entries for the cross-country steeplechase close with the .secretary on Saturday. 'l'ne South Canterbury Himt »"et at Fairfield on Monday last and had a good day's sport albeit scent was a little catchy. Several good runs over fine hunting country were enjoyed, and though no kills resulted this did detract from the pleasure of the chase. There was a large following at the hunt, and the riders fully appreciated the capital lunch which was provided by Mrs and Miss Crowe, Sirs Harris, Mrs J. Barker, and Mrs Crosbie.

Court Southern Cross, 3123, of the Ancient Order of Foresters, held the usual fortnightly meeting last evening in the lodge room, George street, Bro. J. G. Broadhead presiding over a fair attendance. The woodwards reported the sick members all improving, and -no others declared on this term. One candidate was admitted as a member of the court and order, and three candidates were proposed for membership. Accounts amounting to £lO were passed for payment. The Licensing Committee at Waimate was asked to amend applications; such mistakes as applying for publican's instead of accommodation licenses, not posting notice at proper time and applications for waiving of conditions were frequent. Evidently the legal profession is either uot up in licensing law or knows enough to get over any mistakes or omissions. One solicitor laughingly admitted a "try on." As Oamaru is dry it is hardly necessary to say where the Licensing Act is best ''got round"—and Oamaru solicitors were largely in evidence.

Last- Monday night the Loyal Makikihi Lodge held its monthly meeting. The brethren from Loyal Heart of' Friendship, AVaimate, • paid a fraternal visit and N. G. Bro. Mines, presided over a full muster. One candidate was initiated by Prov. D.G.M. Bro. Watts, and four persons were duly proposed for next lodge night. Several degrees were conferred 011 various members. The report of the social committee showed that the recent gatherings jhad- been a gjujat cess. After the Lodge closed the visitors were entertained at supper and given a- hearty send off. At the meeting of the Timaru presbytery yesterday, a remit front tiie General 'Assembly was received, ioferrui£r to the need for the election of a chaplain for the benefit of Presbyterian men-of-war when any vessels of the fleet came into local waters. The Rev. T. Stinson. who was elected for the position, said that he had often officiated before on such occasions without any formal election. On the occasion of the visit of the H.M.S. Powerful to Timaru he had preached, and subsequently had been asked to sign a lengthy and formidable document, which he had then to forward to the Commander-in-Chief in Australia. After the lapse of about six or seven months a reply was received, which enclosed the princely sum of 4s 3d as payment for the clergyman's services! Mr Stinson is not quite sure what naval rank lie holds, but- .1 member of the Presbytery suggested that it could not possibly be less than that of Admiral.

Overworked men take Stearns' Wine of Cod Liver Extract to renew their strength and vigour. It gives them a good clear thinking brain and youthful vigour.

The currer.t number of "The \Yaitakian," the excellent magazine of the Waitaki Hoys' Jli<_rh School, is just to hand, and the publication in every , way sustains thf high standard which former nuinlrrs have led recipients to expect. Besides the usual reports of school progress in learning and sports, some well written special articles are contributed, which, with the high-class illustrations, go to make up a whole of which the school may justly be proud. A letter lias been sent by the pupils of the Waihi South School (Auckland) to the Prims Minister, covering a contribution of one penny each to the Dreadnought fund. The letter (evidently. composed by the teacher) says: "Our offering is very small, but if it may be added to the Dreadnought fund we shall feel doubly proud of our citizenship i.i the Dominion and of our partnership in the British Empire and its navv."

It is pleasing to note that the seal, which is at present paying a Msit to St. Andrews, has been received with courtesy and kindness, aud not been shot at, feared. Some residents, who were down on tho bench yesterday, say the animal is very tame and friendly, and allows people ro approach ■ rjuite near. The feal is not adverse to a varied diet, for it ate v ith relish, a quantity of meat that was given to it. The . din of battle raged in ihe Old Men's Home a day or two ago, when one of the elderly inmates, whose fighting instincts had been roused by the imbibing' of certain exhilarating liquids, returned home and set upon another aged inmate, with the avowed intention of giving him "the father and mother of a- beating." Luckily, however, it was a case of the spirit being willing but the flesh weak, and the disturbance was, quelled without any damage being done. A youthful burglar has-been at work lately in Geraldiuc, Mr H. • Moyes, bookseller, being the Victim of the thefts. On last Saturday night, after the shop was closed. Constable'; Bingham s&crete.d himself on the premises. After a wait of about an hour, and between 31 and 12 o'clock, the constable hoard a key turned in the back door, when in walked a youth, with a siiaded bicycle lamp in one hand. He received a great .shock 011 finding the constable, there, and was promptly arand taken to the lock-up. All the missing . articles were recovered with the exception of some of the cash. The lad had made a plant of the stolen goods on the ■'premises of his employer. Accused, who is Ifi years of age. appeareed before Messrs T. and W. A. Sherratt, J.P's., on Monday morning.. and on the ■ application of Constable Bingham, he was remanded until .Tune Bth. Bail was allowed, the father of the accused finding two sureties of £25 each. The deed is snid to he the outcome of reading books not calculated to promote good morals. Mr H.

At a committee meeting -of- the South Canterbury Coursing Club held last evening, it-' was resolved to hold another meeting at ai early date.

The manner in which a young girl gave evidence in » case before the Supreme Court yesterday was an example to many older and presumably more experienced persons—she was clear, unhesitating,,' and audible, and if all witnesses followed her example one of the most arduous tasks of the legal profession would be considerably lightened. A splendid programme has been arranged' for Mr Frederick Moore's pianoforte recital, which takes place on Friday, June 11th. Amongst other numbers, Mr Moore will play Beethoven's "Moonlight" Sonata, Chopin's Polonaise in A flat, and one of his own compositions, entitled " Elfenreigen." A very moderate charge is being made for admission, and it is fairly certain that the people of Timaru will not again have the opportunity of hearing one of London's foremost pianists .at such a. small cost. The class and prize schedules of the Timaru poultry .show, to be held on the 25th find ,26th inst., haye been circulated. The classes (including 15 for cookery and sundries, and 12 for cats) number no less than 370. -Of these 186. are for. breeds, 14 ion ducks, SO for pigeon's (lo breeds)), and 63 for canaries. Besides the ciass prizes, the value of .which varies with the number of entries, there is a good list of special and points prizes: one £5 -os cup, fourteen of £3 each in cash,' and about £l2 in smaller specials.

The " Sydney Morning Herald, ' referring to the number of people crossing over from New Zealand, says:—"The Dominion >vants population, almost ; as much as does the Commonwealth—and for her people to be leaking through to Australia means the putting back of her clock of progress. The development is all the more regrettable, inasmuch as, up till she found herself in financial straits, the Dominion as in favourable contrast to the Australian States in regard to her increase of population, through immigration." " Heraldalso notes that there is a steady migration going on from Victoria to' Queensland, owing in the main to there being not enough land for the people to make homes on. The. Wellington "Post" says that though a mild "meat war" has been declared among the two sections of local butchers—fifty shops against three or four—the hostilities have riot yet been attended with any sensational" slaughter of prices. In these times when " money is money/' many a head of a family, ordinarily too proud to be seen with an armful of goods, especially if wrapped up in a newspaper, is not above saving 6d or Is by being his own carrier. Hence one niav behold high respectability with a v neatly-elothed and mhite-culfed arm lovingly clasped around a nec-k-and-breast of mutton or a rib of beef. Incidentally, some of these pilgrims save car fares, for they mostly prefer to walk with thpir burdens. They do not care to rnn the risk of exposing a. sheep's knuckla-bonc or an ox tongue in a crowded car.

lii past time the first thing done to a burn or scald was to exclude the air. To do this the victim had to either apply ft paste of oil and flour or else bandage the scalded part, thus adding to his sufferings. All that is now necessary is to apply Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This liniment gives immediate relief, also heals tho part in one-third the time taken by any other application; but what is more' wonderful still is that there is never any scar left after Chamberlain's Pain Balm is used. For sale everywhere. ...

Parliament meets iu the course of the next few days, and M.P's could nob do better Than equip themselves with all available information, regarding the boot trade.
