At a meeting of the subscribers to the Methven Library, on Friday last, the fol lowing resolution was carried —“ That the whole of the money at ihe disposal of the Library Committee, viz., LIStS, be allo cated for building purposes, and that the County Council be applied to for a subsidy of £ for £.” This was an amendment of a motion put forward, advocating that only Ll6O should be allocated for building purposes. The Committee was also authorised to decide which was the best site for a library. At a meeting of the Committee held subse quently, it was resolved—“ That alternate plans and estimates for a brick or concrete building for a library, not to exceed i L4OO, be called for by advertisement, and that a bonus of LlO be offered for the ac cepted plan.”

The French are going in so extensively for the production of oleomargarine that the butter producers of Normandy may well shake in their shoes. When this “ bosh ” first appeared in Paris (says the j ßritish Trade Journal), about ten years ago, it was looked upon with great dis favor. Now, however, the taste of the public has changed, and margarine is highly appreciated, because it is cheaper than butter and is much less liable to turn rank. The ingredients, too, are not unhealthy. The principal material is good creamy milk, which enters to the extent of one-half into the composition of the product. To this is added about thirty per cent. of “ margarine,” which consists of fresh suet and 20 percent of oil of arachides—a bean imported from Sonegambia, which tastes : something like & hazel-nut. When these ingredients are of first-rate quality and mixed together during cold weather, the product easily fetches 2£f. per kilo., . while ordinary butter brings 3f. 50c. to 4f. Although the number of factories in the country is as yet limited, France manages to send a good deal of this to England and to Holland, and the trade seems likely to increase. Per haps it would be an advantage if the French Government kept their eye on the manufacturers of this new luxury for the breakfast-table.

At the Mount Barker (South Australia) local Court on May 15th, Robert Johns Daddow, Primitive Methodist minister, was charged with having solemnised a marriage between Charles Miels and Eva Amelia Chapman, both of whom were minors, without first obtaining the con sent of the mother of the bridegroom who was easily accessible. Sarah Miels, mother Of the bridegroom, deposed that Mr Dad dow went to her and asked her to Oonsetit to the marriage of her son with Eva Chapman, as certain cir cumstances rendered it necessary, but abb refused to give her consent. He tried to persuade Her, but she said he had better have nothlhg to do with the matter. He then went away, and she heard that he married the couple' within two hours thereafter. In cross-examination the in formant admitted that she had married Her deceased husband’s brother, and that thb boy about whom the action was brought Was his son. Mr Hundey, counsel for the defehce, hereupon said that as such a marriage was illegal the son was really a bastard, and therefore the law recognised no father, and the consent spoken of was not necessary in order to legalise the mar riage. Mr von Doussa, counsel for the prosecution, who was entirely taken by surprise by this revelation, admitted the fata! nature of the objection, and the case Was dismissed.
