(Per United Press Association.) DfJNEDIN', September 24. TL© Oi ago Cri-ket Association intend employing a coach from Australia for the coming season; moreover, word has been received that an international player, one of tJio best all-round cricketers oi to-day, intends to stttle in Dunedin. He should reach the J}ominion duricg December. The Weather Bureau reports as follows —Northerly moderate to strong winds U- : onin?; wmther probably warmers expect unsettled and cloudy weather after 24 Jioura; soa rough off shore,- ;,ides low. i It is stated that a good many Southland farmers are disposing of their bul!oc,ks, which are being disposed of to northern buyers, as they intend going in for dairying. During the past few weeks 1200 dairy cows have been taken to Southland from Canterbury. It is stated that practically the whole of the flaxmills in the Manawatu and HoI rowhenua districts are now working, and j by October Ist every mill is expected to Ibe actively engaged.

It was -staged in «. la-w case in Chrietchurah^thafc Mr Dawson, inventor of the now well-known "Da-wson eg^-oarrier" — a simple affair of wire fixed in a board, that acts as a spring packing— sold his invention to a company for .£16,000, of which JJ7OOO was to be in cash, and ■£9000 in paid-up sharee. . He, however, received only J62000 in. cash (the company cot being strong enough "to pay more), and he compromised the balance for .£4OOO. Commenting on the Rangitikei election, the Taranaki News soys: — Verily, it haF boon a mighty struggle — a trial o! ntisngth between the Government and the Opposition, and the. verdict has gone to the Government, who must regard it as a vote of confidence, all the more significant and valuable at a time when their star was .'.ommonly believed to be on the' wane. The case pf both parti?® was Aevcr nlaceo m-vr? fully <jr ably before any constituency and the result is one over which the Govo nment may well feel satisfied^ and will rot be without its influence on the trend of public affairs. Blood poison resulting from small is becoming more prevalent. Fven *o slight an injury as the scratch of o ■ in will sometimes cause blood poisoning.
