SHOCKING VITRIOL-THROWING CASE.

At Manchester Ass'zas a few week ago, Mr Justice Grantham had before him a Jabourer named J-ihi Mills, who was charged with throwicg vitriol on Alice Mills with Intent to do her grievous bodily harm. Prisoner snd the wom?n had been living together, but, finding that he had a wife alive, the we man said that they must part, Next day the prisoner threw some vitriol over her, destroying her left eye and disfiguring her for life. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he then asked far mercy, besause he had only re cently come out of penal eervitade. Tne Judge In passing sentence, said : I Bhould think there is no brute m the whole county of Lancaster ao brotal as you are and so b.utal as you have baen, beoauae this is not the first timo yiu have com mittal an offence ex.otly similar to this, and when yo j ask me to be merolf al to yon because you have only just cime out of penal servitude, you Barely must have forgotten altogether that I »m aware of what that ponlshnvnt waß. I .Is Irue you have just cume out v,f ptnal servitude, for it is now ten yea;s bilco yn weie ■entenoed for throwing corn eivt fljldover your then wife. Yen ill-treated her exactly m the same way ; she also lost her eye, and was dift6gorei for life. It is also s&id that there Is a charge of bigamy against yon, tut that ottenoe is a mere bagatelle when oon : p»red with this horrible crime. The leaßt sentence I can pass upon you Is one that will prevent you repeating that offence to any other poor woman who may be placed m your power. The sentence 1 pass opon you is that you be kept m penal servitude for the rest of your life.

A LUCKY COBBLER.

The story of Patrick Brennan, the Blackbatn cobbler, who has just come Into a fortune of £300,000, discloses a romance In real life. Some months ago a paragraph went the roanda of the papers giving the history of £300,000 awaiting an owner. The fortune consists of the residuary estate of Mrs Blake, who died childless and intestate at South Kensing ton some years ago. This Mrs Blake, whose maiden name wi s Nellie Sheridan, was born of poot parents at Bellow, Oonnty Longford, Ireland. While resid ing thtce she attracted the attention of Genera) Robert Dudley Blake, an officer In the English army, and the result was that they eloped and were married. On hearing of the marriage, the family of General Blake disowned him, and he pro ceeded with his wife to America, settling »t Maafcfield, Ohio, where they eatabUßtied a large millinery business, wbioh proved a great success. Some years ago General fiiake died on a vlait to England, and Lis wife disposed of the business and settled at Sooth Kensington, where sbo resided ontil her death. She became poßseeß3d of all her husband's property, and his estate was worth £300,000 These facts were chronichd m a newepsper paragraph which met the eye of Brenmn, and he at onoe became convinced that he was the heir to tha property. As a child he could well remember the story of tbe elopement of Nellie Sheridan, whose father was the brother of Nancy Sheridan, Brennan s grandmother. Ihe couple after leavlog Ireland were never heard of, but the story wa* often told. Brennan consulted a ■olioltor on the matter, and went to Ireland, where he obtained the necessary proofs. The result was that be estsb lished his claim to the immense fortune, to take possession of which he has now left Blackburn.

ODE TO NEW ZEALAND.

"G.H.G," a Waimate poet, whose initials will readily be recognised by Borne T of out readers, sendß tbe following to the local paper : —

Ma] 68 ** 0 r °H tne ocean wavea around Zea landia'B Ehore, Their thunder on the surf beat coast re sounding evermore, From North Cape sketching forth her band tow'rdß trop : c ocean isles To South Cape, darkly pointing tow'rcls antarcc : c icy piles. Sweeping gainst each rocky headland, and around each winding bay, -"Through strait and " mountain-piercing sound, the waves roll night and day. Along the far extended mountain chain, with crowns uplifted high, The snowy-mantled eummits point, m Bplendour to the sky, While renewing of their bcanty, clouds dark veil from mortal sight, Bat m sunshine glorious pilots of the palaces of light : Down their sides the rushing avalanche, the grinding glacier alow, While the torrents madly foam around the mountains' base below. On thy lonely mountain lakes, how bright and beautiful they gleam ! Reflecting sunshine, mountain, star, and moon's soft silver beam ; Ze&landia'a cups carved exquisite by Nature's loving hand, To store the precious waters for the dry an I thirety land ; They are filled from many wild bush creeks " and streams from mountain enow, And bounteously out-flowiDg, cheer the plains and vales below. Oh the thousand hills of graceful form, with fern or forest crowned, Where moki's rich deep liquid notes, and weka's f cream resound 1 Oh the smiliog vales and winding creeks, enchanting to the view, With flax and stately palm adorned, atd tnsaock's tawny hue 1 Of peaceful flocks unnumbered, the plains and downß maintain ; There grow Columbian forest trees, Europa's fruit and grain. O'er all the grand and charmtDg scenes ; the winds now freshly blow, On their chariots bringing. b^ah, and air, which 89t our lives aglow ; Whether blowing cold and stormy from the dark antarctic eeas ; . Or zephyr-like and gentle m the moitt "*' cool eastern breeze ; Or fiercely m the parching blast of hot nor western gale. The winds blow pure and freshly over meuntain, shore, and vale. Now hoist Zealandia'a flag on high, her sons all rally round, Let f aithfnl>patriotic love m evory breast 'abound j May all her Bons be noble, brave ; her daughters t-ue and fair, Their country's honor to uphold and guard with jea'oas care. Long may your beauty flourish, fairest islands of the sea, And long m peace the happy home of people brave and free.

DROUGHT IN N EW SOUTH WALES

A Wilcannia telegram etateß thatreports from ihe diatriot weat of the JJarllng show that some equatters are unable to get their stock m for BheariDg Owing to the weak ness of tbe sheep from drought. At some Btatlons ibere is not enough water to last a month, but along tha Tlboohurra route the Government tanks havo from four to six months' supply. It may safely be said that there will ba no Jambs this saaaon west of tbe DirliDg, and no wool is going to port, all of It being Btored until rain comes.

Very gloomy reports have been received from Inverel wi'.h regard to the iff ct ot the drought on coun'-iy about the jlver BirwOD. The prolonged dry weather has had most disastrous tflfcctß on the sleek. D«ad Bheep aid catt'e are lying about m all dlrectiona, while the water holes are filled with the bodies of sheep, which were too weak to extricate themselves from the mud.

THE FROZEN MEAT TRADE.

At Last there .appear to be indications that the exporters of frozen mutton are beginning to bestir themselves with a view to putting the trail o upon a more satisfy- ry footing. r lhe only wonder is that they had not done so long ago, for it is perfectly marvellous that they have &o long submitted to the robbery — for it is nothing less — to which they have been for years subjected at the hands of middlemen, who have been pocketing the lion's share of the pro ceeds and returning to the shippers but a miserable pittance. Mr Me Hardy, a well-known sheep farmer of Napier, j is at Home just now pursuing enquiries into the matter, and a few days ago there was published m the "Hawkes Bay Herald" a letter from that gentle men m which he indicates the measures which should be taken to work the much-needed reform. He tells us that the prejudice which formerly existed m England against frozen mutton is dying out, and that were proper arrangements made an average price fully a penny per lb better than present quotations could readily be obtained. He thinks that theprimest mutton would command 6d per lb, and we think it very likely indeed that this is the case, seeing that under existing arrangements present quotations range up to sfd, Mr McHardy is of opinion that there are too many agents engaged m selling New Zealand meat,, and states that Mr Larkworthy, of the Bank of New Zea land, and Mr Thomas Kussell (who is now at Home) both agree with him m that view, He says that the trade is kept back by the agents underselling each other and thinks that "there should only be about three agents for the sale of New Zealand mutton, and that they should be men who would work together. Then there would bo no trouble m getting a payable price. It would be quite easy to get at least ld per lb more if this could be done, and it would mean tens of thousands to the colony. Three agents like Nelson Bros., Borthwick, of Liverpool (who sells a good deal for the Loan and Mercantile), and Filler and Sons, of London, would work together and not undersell each other." .Referring to the competition of South. American meat, Mr McHardy assures the people of New Zealand that they " need not be afraid that the JKiver Plate mutton will run the New Zealand off the market. It will, no doubt, keep the price lower, but the quality is very inferior, and the large sheep are even worse than the smaller ones." There is some fault m the grass there ; it will not produce good mutton. Several large sheep owners from that country have told him that they cannot grow mutton of good quality, and one of the above has been breeding large sheep for the last 16 years. He then goes on to give some useful hints as to how the carcases should be prepared for the English market, and inter alia, says : — " 1 enclose you copy of letter from Mr Borthwick, m which you will notice he mentions the flap of the sheep ought to be turned back. It Bhould be fastened with a small skewer till the sheep gets cold, and it then makes a great differ ence m giving it a better appearance. One of his butchers told me it would be a great advantage if the shoulders were put m a different form, Tha shank ought to be skewed back on the side of the brisket, instead of forward beside the neck. This makes the shoulder look much larger and the carcase wider across the shoulders, but I doubt if it would pack so well m the ship as it would take up more room. A few might be tried." These facts and opinions are all worth noting, as also are others urged by another large flock master and exporter, Mr John Douglas, of Waihao Downs, who has recently been dealing with the same subject m the columns of the "Otago Daily Times." Mr Douglas also recognises— as who does not? — that the producer is being wronged under the present system, and endeavours to point out the remedy. He points to " the present multifarious handlings," and the "practice of falsifying the quality by substituting South American or other inferior qualities for New Zealand mutton," and to the fact that, to a large extent, the same firms are both agents for the seller and buyers on their own account as principal factors m the keeping down of prices, and urges that the true remedy would be an entire remodelling of the whole business. He says: — " As a permanent solution of the distribution difficulty, I propose that we appoint at Home, exclusively m our own interests, a responsible, capable man to take charge of the whole of our ship ments, and who, while ready to sell 'cq butchers and middlemen, would at tbe same time offer facilities to suitable, enterprising men for the opening, of New Zealand frozen mutton stores m densely populated districts, taking security for their intromissions, he guaranteeing to supply them at a fixed price. In witing this I have a case m my mind's eye of a gentleman who left New Zealand and opened a New Zealand frozen mutton store m the South of Eugland with such success that he shortly afterwards started a second, and has now a third, all running successfully. There is nothing m the circumstances to prevent any capable agent ot ours from supplying 500 such stores, and even these would not exhaust a tithe of the field." We think that Mr Douglas is entirely right m these views, and that the sooner he and others interested m this important export take means to carry them into practical effect the better it will be for themselves and the colony at large. *
