Deceased was admitted into the Hospital on the 30th August, and Dr. Kenny cautioned the nurses that as he was suffering from heart disease he would be likely to die at any moment, and although death came very suddenly in the end, it was not unexpected.

Mr John Parr has just received another consignment of (ienn's Patent Handy Syringe Pumps and Tree Sprayer, which became so popular here last spring, for the extremely efficacious manner in which they sprayed apple and other trees affected by the codlin moth. These pumps will not rust and with ordinary care will but for several years, so we take 111 iopportunity of recommending orchardwts to invest in one and have their hees llioronghlv syringed with some si,:table specific for destroying the moth and other pnst*. The pumps are also useful in manv other ways ; for watering gardens, washing vehicles, windows, etc. The price, as will be seen by perusing the advertisement in this issue, is within the roach of areryone.

Wβ are pleased to hear that a sudden and somewhat unexpected demand has net in for Cannell'b Waipa lime. J)nrinf, the past f«w days orders have, come forward in excess of tho supply on hand. Mr Cannell is now busily engaged at the works preparing for a further output. On enquiry we find the principal orders have been received by settlers intending to use. lime as a top-dressing for their gnus land. In view of the very satisfactory report from Messrs Ambury aud Knglish, who experimented with this lime last season in this direction, we are not surprised at a demand netting in for this lime, to be applied in the same way.

We direct attention to Messrs Kemptliorne, Prosser and Co.'s new advertisement in this issue referring to their special grass manuns. It is claimed for this particular manure that it contains all tho constituents necessary for stimulating tho growth of grass crops, greatly improving both the quality and quantity of tlw crop. Now is the season for its application. Several top dressings in .small qnantites is recommended before the springs rains are over. It will renew old and worn-out pastures, and its composition has been specially directed to the encouragement of the grasses, and it will be found to largely develope th 3 growth of clovers and other broad-leaved plants.
