NATIVE OUTRAGES AT RARATONGA

Auckland, November 13 Arrived—lsland mail steamer Janet Nicol, with a cargo of oranges and other fruits. She brings news cf native out rages on board the Auckland schooner, Jessie Nicol, oa August 24th wh la at anchor at Baratonga harbor. At II pm. a gang of natives boarde i the schooner and began to annoy the crew. The cook was on shore The son of the cap tain was first attacked, and rendered unconscious by a blow on the head, and brutally kicked Captain Short ai d the crew rush on deck, but being withou* weapons and greatly ontnumV ered, were separated and all badiy maltreated, Makeatane, King of Atiiu and the con sort of Queen Makes, of Batatonga, wbs with the natives and incited them to the outrages, shouting “kill the white pigs.” U bis king visited Auckland last year and was entertained at Government expense After doing a lot of damage and purloin ing some stores the natives went ashore and had a feast. A complaint was made to the British Consul at Baraionga, who fined Makeatane 300 dollars and ordered him to fi d enhst-tutes for several Injured men who had been left ashore. The cook’s condition was so critical that his depositions were taken, but he has since nervered. H.M.S. Pelican has visited the group i nd compelled payment of tha fine aud also exacted a fine of 300 do’lars from the natives of Mitiaro Island who, in August last, committed an outrage ou the captain of the lackland schooner Atlantic by tying him to a tree. Capt. Short’s narrative has been obtained via Tahiti, but the Jessie Nicol was ex pected to arrive at Auckland shortly. When the steamer left Tahiti Earl Dudley’s steam yacht was there, en route for Auckland, Wellington, and Sydney; also Dr Phe'p’s schooner yacht Brendila, which is expected to visit this colony

THE COLLECTION OF TITHES IS WALES.

A large meeting o! farmers lying in the Vale of Olwyd and district of North Wales was held at the national schools, Pentre Celyn, Lainfair, on Slat August, to consider the action they should adopt to wards the rectors of .the various parishes who have given notice of their intention to distain for tithes. Delegates were pre sent frun all the surrounding parishes, and it was resolved that common action would be taken in resisting payment to the uttermost, and to institute a constitu-. tlonal agitation for the t< ti! repaa! of the impost. It was s ated that at a previous Meet at the schoo's thirty fanners en rolled their names, and determined to have their goods sold at public auction before paying. At present, active operations between rectors and tenant farmer ate confined to four parishes, one of which is Llanrhaldr, a little village a few miles out of Denbigh. The vicar, the Rev J P. M-rgari, who has been quite recently instituted, ctatus that a deputation of farmers waited upon him and asked for a reduction on toe tithes then becoming due. He expressed his sympathy with them, but add that in setting such a precedent he had to con sider the circumstances of his brother clergy who had smaller livings. He would consult them, and rep'y latter on. The living cf Llanrhaidr had deprecia’ed more than £IOC e-year in value since his pr;- decessor held it. He and the deputation parted excellent friends, the farmers ex pressing the hope that their conduct would not be like the conduct < f their neighbors at Llandyrno.’. The farmers, however, subsequently held h meeting, and wrote to him demanding h redaction of 25 per cent. He replied tbst it was Impossible for him to en'ertain the demand, and, shou'd they persistently refuse to pay the tithes, he should be reluctantly compelled to a.' t as other rectors were doing The farmers of Llandrhaidr state that of 300 fanners in the parish no less than 250 refu ed to pay the tithe at the audit on i 3 h J ly, ond there is no reason to believe that any of them have sir ce paid the money. They say there h*s been a great fall in the prices cf agricultural produce. In Llanrhaidr parish Mure L an Anti-tithe Association, with an acting chairman and secretary. Tbe gross amount of the tithes there Is £760, which is, however, divided between three livtnaa. At Llanarmcn the rect r, the Rev. Bvau Evans, Is under police protection, several men being stationed in and about the rectory-house. Un Sunday, the So:h nit., as the rev. gentleman walked to the parish church, he was guarded by two members of the Denbighshire con stabulary. The rev. gentleman’s sermon had raferene to the painful dispute in tbe pariah. The farmers warmly dis claim any personal intention of doing Violence to the vicar: The Socialists are actively at work among the di°ag-cted farmers, and have printed a pamphlet and ■own it broadcast.

The tithe agitation in the principally KttA extended from Penbighshire to Cardi ganshire, where memorials to the Ic oambents at Peu.bryn and olh r rural districts, praying for a substantial re daction in lb ; i.—l charges, are being extensively signed by the farmers. A conference of Cardiganshire farmer s baa also been snmmoned for the purpose of considering the ques ion cf rents and tithes.

AGRICULTURAL SHOWS.

As this is the season at which it has long been the custom in this colony to hold the annual shows of the various Agricultural and Pastoral Associations, it may be worth while to raise the question as to whether such exhibitions are really held at the most suitable time and conducted on lines the best adapted to secure the results which they are intended to promote. Taking the last point first we have come across a suggestive article in the Live Stock Journal,%Qxaz of the remarks in which, though of course relating to Home circumstances and conditions, are yet to some extent applicable to this colony, The writer of the article referred to says that the Home societies are not Supported by farmers, because the special wants of farmers are overlooked by them. He then goes on to say : f* No farm can be conducted without ryork-horses. The difference between the day ? s labor got through by capable teams and those where the quadrupeds keep the bipeds back, is the difference of profit and loss to the occupier. What kind of encouragement is there given by shows to farmers’ horses ? The farmer is helped to breed large dray horses for town work beyond a doubt, as he is hackneys for the professional classes to ride, hunters fur the swells to take their pleasure on, and carriage horses to increase the pomp of Sir Gorgious Midas. How much assistance does he receive in the endeavour to breed * first-rate horses ’ for his own use ? There are classes for heavy and light weight hunters ; for hackney pfc}det and hackney over i4st. ; how often does one find heavy draught hbrses sub-divided ? Yet ihe plough horse is as distinct from the dray-horse as the hackney is from the hunter. Where are classes opened for such as suifthe work of the farm, the plough, fjie reaper, the drill, and the waggon,

\ as well as for the lorry and the brewer’s dray ? It is notorious that, for ’busses and tram cars, buyers have to go abroad, * because that class of active hardy r draught horse is scarce in England. What have agricultural societies ever f’ done to make them more plentiful ? . It is sometimes said —‘ Oh, help the r breeder to produce good “ bjg uns ■ ” : there will always be enough fall other ■ wise tor other purposes.’ 1 his is one 1 of the halt-truths, of which Tennyson sang, ‘ A lie, which is half the truth, is ever the worst of lies.’ We believe the , refuse left in breeding * big uns,’ to be ihe worst possible stock a man can have *to work a farm with. We were talking, the other day, with a man who has occupied for over forty years on one .farm the post of head horseman. His father held it before him for almost as long a period. The question was put, ‘Do you think the horses are better now than they were when you first took them ? ’ ‘I know they ain’t,’ was the prompt rejoinder ; ‘ they ain’t so quick ■ they ain’t so handy, and I don’t believe there are three sound horses on the farm.’ This was in a case where five or six foals, yearly, are reared— the sires, which take the prizes at the country shows, being mostly employed. No doubt, several showy colts have been reared and sold -possibly at a profit ; but the stable—those which are left behind to do the work—are dis tinctly worse then they used to be when special stallion shows were not in existence.” Passing on to the classification of cattle, the same writer says : —“ Now, classification, complete and well devised, is the very life of all large co-operative action. In the beginning of agricultural society career a bull was a bull and a cow a cow ; and the managers thought a prize ‘ for the besc bull ’ and ‘ for the best cow,’ a sufficient and satisfactory provision. Within a year or two the Cambridge shire Society’s Show had no other division than this. By-and-by the societies got to distinguish good breeds of cattle. This sub-division increased ! rapidly in neat-stock. But, in horses, j classification sticks fast with the types which the horsey cits delight in, or ( such as suit those fiugc: consumere nati. I The farmer’s wants get little recogni- ‘ tion anywhere ; and as much may be said about the classes for his dairy | cattle. The number of societies which, | up to this minute, administer, with i insight into the farmer’s wants, the i money in the classes for “ Dairy a cattle,” may be counted upon the digits i of a man’s hand who has lost his fore- * finger pnd was born without a thumb.” 8 As we have said, though not perhaps j wholly applicable to the case of New i Zealand Shows, we think that the c foregoing remarks contain useful hints a as to the necessity of greater encour- 1 agement being given to the breeding 8 of horses specially adapted for different descriptions of farm work, and to the a breeding of useful dairy cattle; but, q besides the question of a better classifi cation of exhibits, there is that of the time at which the shows should be held. Probably the reason why nearly 1 all our shows are held in October or ~ November is that the time is just be fore shearing, and admits of the sheep being shown with the full season’s £ fleece, but unquestionably just after the close of winter is anything but a favorable lime for the exhibition of horses and cattle, the latter especially. It is a very expensive process to keep ■ them through the winter months in _ anything like show condition, and we believe that a very much larger number of entries would be obtained if the exhibitions were held at the beginning of autumn, say in the month of L March, Nor would it be at all a disad- jj vantageous time for sheep, as they would then carry from four to five months’ fleece. We have heard prac tical farmers strongly express the opinion that such a change of date for the shows would be a great advantage, and we think the subject well worthy the consideration of the several c societies. t

Listen to your Wife



The Manchester Guardian, June Bth, 1883 says : At one of the “ Windows ” Looking on the woodland ways ! With clumps of rhododendrons and great masses of May blossoms!!! “There was an interesting group.” It inclnded one who had been a “ Cotton spinner,” but was now so Paralysed ! !! That he could only bear to lie iu a reclining position This refers to my case. I was first attacked twelve years ago with “ Locomoter Ataxy ” (A paralytic disease of nerve fibre rarely ever cured) and was for several years barely ab'e to get about. And for the last five years not able to attend to my business, although Many things have been done for me. The last experiment being nerve stretching. Two years ago I was voted into the Home for Incurables ! near Manchester, in May, 1882. I am no “ Advocate ” ; “ For anything in the shape of patent ” Medicines ? And made many objections to my dear wife’s constant urging to try Hop Bitters, but finally to pacify her— Consented ! ! I bad not quite finished the first bottle when I felt a change come over me. This was Saturday, November 3rd. On Sunday morning I felt so strong I said to my room companions, “ 1 was sure I could “ Walk !” So started across the floor and back. I hardly knew how to contain myself. I was all over the house. I am gaining strength each day, and can walk quite safe without any “ Stick!” Or Support. I am now at my own house, and hope soon to be able to earn my own living again. I have been a member of the Manchester “ Eoyal Exchange ” For nearly thirty years, and was most heartily congratulated on going in the room on Thursday last. Very gratefully yours, John Blackburn. Manchester, (Eng.) Deo. 24th, 1883. Two years later am perfectly well.
