Evidence multiplies of the excellence of Ashburton apples, and this season not only is the quality of the fruit very superior, but instances of remarkable size are by no means rare. To-day we were shown a Catshead Oodlin [weighing lib Bsoz. TMb was grown by Mr Albert Roberts, upon a tree supplid from Mr G. T. Smith's Smitbfield Nursery, Information has been received of the arrival of Bishop Selwyn, from England, at Sydney, He at present intends travelling to Auckland, and from thence to Norfolk Island, to take up the winter mission work there. It is within the bounds of possibility that Bishop Selwyn, hearing of the unsettled state of affaire, may come South from Auckland, to take part in the deliberations on the Primacy question, The following telegram has been handed to us for publication :—" Wellington, Maroh 24th.—G. B. Simpson, Esq., Ashburton:— Col. Secretary much regrets that haviagjfixe'd the Ist of May as the opening of the shooting season throughout New Zealand, he finds himself unable to make a speoiul exoeption in favor of Ashburton.—G. S. Cooper." This has been reoeived in reply to a request made by the Acclimatisation Sooiety to open the season the Ist April.

The objeot |a to help forward the extinction of the debt oa the church, which it is intended to wipe on* before Easter.

"f the weather bain« --; Qf Mt £ held in the Bohoolroom where a flag will be placed as a signal; At a coroner's inquest, held in £ondon in 1882, Mr Myers, circus proprietor, in giving evidence respecting the death of a man who had been killed by an elephant, said that he had had the animal for 20 years, and during the whole of that period she had been of a singularly mild disposition unletia provoked. Thirteen years previously a groom in his employ put out one of her eyea witfe' a pitoh fork, for which act of cruelty be waa'dis obarged. Two years afterwards Myers' company were performing in-Jersey, and while there the groom in question oame into the stable in which the elephant was, and, slapping her on tbe side, said: " This is the old brute that got me dismissed." Reoognis* ing tbe voioe, the elephant iottantly pushed tbe man up against the wall, arid so injured bis head and eyes that ever sinoe the man had been what is termed " cross-eyed."

The colored Ministrela had a grand parade to-day. The spectacle they presented was a most) unusual one. They marched up and down Eaet Street the band playing lively marches in excellent tune and time, but this ie not anything out of the way. The unusual thing was to see three single-file columns of men, with at least twelve feet between each 1 man and his neighbor proceed in perfect re gularity, and never once require to correct dißtanoe. First oame Tambour MBJor in a white busby of enormous dimensions, then followed three columns of black Zouavee, armed with rifles and aword bayonets. These were borne at the English •• elope," but with the hammers turned inwards towards the csok of the Zouave, and the bayonets having a cant to the left that would drive Sergt- Major Hayes mad with rage. His turning of the hammer has ot oourse the effeot of inohing tbe heel of the butt inwards, and the whole position is certainly new to New Zea land manuel drill. Af t6r the Zouaves came another Tambour Major, who handled his staff with wonderfaf dexterity. Last, the brass band, keeping tbe same oorreot line and perfeot intervals. A large crowd turned out to see the parade.
