MR SEDDON AT NELSON.

(JTEII PBESH ASSOCIATION.)

Kelson, October 14. The foundation stone of the new Odd fellows' Hall was laid tins afternoon by the mayor, Mr Trask. Among the speakers was Mr Seddon, who had just arrived from Wellington. He spoke highly of the principles and objects of friendly societies, and stress was laid on his utterance that the Government would allow no legation that had for its object an injurious effect on the j present friendly societies. He did not think it wise tor the Government to take up the work now done by these societies, and the Government should restrict itself to watching their flna'ncial position. This evening Mr Seddon inspected fche Volunteers at their monthly parade, and complimented them highly. He said the country must rely on the Volunteers mainly for its protection, and that it had been resolved by the Government to continue for three years the present rate of capitation, which was low erough. .It was contemplated to have but two camps next; Easter, one for each island, but to mass the volunteers round each of the four defended ports and organise manseuvres m which the vessels of the auxiliary squadron might take part So far as the West Ooast of this island was concerned, as Nelson was midway between Marlborough and the West Coast, he thought it would be a convenient position for a camp. He would, however, consult Major Bonar and the others officers before a decision was arrrived at.

ASHBUMON-THURSDAY,

(Before Mr C. A. Wray, K.M.) Cuttle Trespass.- -Peter Keller was charged with having allowed a cow t* trespass on the railway line ab Window. Mrs Keller appeared and pleaded guilty. A fine of ss, without costs, was imposed. Civil Cases.—B. E. Dowle vC. * Fawcett, £2 16s, for making up an over coat and suib of clothes, material suppJuu by defendant, Mr Cuthbertson for de fendant. Plaintiff said Fawcett was now wearing the overcoat, and had taken away the suit, but had brought back the coat and vest for alterations. Alteration?, were made that were apparently satis factory to defendant, who said he would come m and pay the account. Had promised several times to pay, and gave as his excuse for not paying that there had been sickness m the family. .De fendant m the box said the coat and vest had been spoiled, and the trousera were made so small that he had to give them away to a younger brother. Had never promised to pay plaintiff unless the clothes were made fib to wear, lheyhadnot been made sp, and were ridiculously small. An adjournment was made to admit ot ocular demonstration of the fitting of the coat and vest, and shortly afterwards plaintiff brought the clothes into Court, and defendant tried, them on. His Worship was perfectly satisfied the coat and vest were too small, and suggested that the parties should take an adjourn ment for a week to try if an arrange ment could be made. John Paget v. W. Bradbury, £10 6s 6d. Mr Crisp for plaintiff.—Judgment for plain tiff by default. Meaclem v T. Richardson, £110s, loss of time sustained by plaintiff, by non-fulfilment of a con tract by defendant to supply chaft to plaintiff at a certain price. Plaintift had sent his teams to defendant's farm for two tons of chaff promised to defendant at an i,-»reed on price of £2 10s per ton. When the teams were sent defendant declined to sell at the price. From evidence given for the plaintiff, it appeared that defen had promised to sell chaff to plaintiff at a price to be regulated by the Ashburton market. Defendant wr a to sell Ms chaff m Ashburton, and the prico he received on that sale was to be the price at which he would sell two tons to Meaclem, whose brother was to cut the chaff and be the medium of communication between defen dant and plaintiff as to when the chaff would be ready for removal. After ro ceivin" notice that the chaff was ready he gent joy t^<J oW> but it was refused.

William Meaclem was sent for. bub he dii j not respond to the solicitor's invitation > and a subpoena was issued. Thos. Kichard son said he had got £2 15s for the chaff m Ashburton, carting included. Denied hav j ing made any promise to Meaclem at nil, and did not wish to sell any chuff to him. Win, Meaclem now appeared, and s;iid Richardson had told him on f'a';urday to come and cut chaff on the Monday. On Saturday John Meaclem saw witness and < asked when he was to cut, and witness \ said he was going on Monday, but it would not be wise to some for chaff until Tuesday. On Monday Richardson came to witness and askei him to tell his brother that there would be no chaff for him. This message was not sent, an 1 the boys came along on Tuesday. Mr Wild ing for the plaintiff, and Mr H. G. Moore for the defendant, addressed the Court, and his Worship said he failed to see that there had been any contract, and the in formation given on Saturday by Wm. Meaclem to his nephew that cutting was to begin on Monday was not a message from Richardson. Judgment for defen dant.

THE ASHBUBTON GUARDIAN: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1801



At a meeting of Mr Cox's Reception Committee at Christchurch last sight the followingresolution waa passed unamimou&ly, and cabled to the " National Press," Dublin : —"The Irishmen of Christchurch are sorry for the death of Mr ParneU, and they trust that all thn disputes which now divide the party will be buried m his grave. They recognise the right of the majority to govern; support on these grounds alone guaranteed ; confidence m Mr Gladstone's pledges." To-morrow evening a treat is m store for the inmates of the Old Men's Home and their friends. The Ashburton Orchestral Society with the assistance of several vocalists are to give a concert m the Home, and quite a high-class programme has been arranged. Among the items are three orchestral pieces— "Cleopatra," the " Invocation of StCecilia," and Mendelssohn's "March m G" : violin solos by Mr Charles Wood and Miss Sim mons ; a euphonium solo by Mr Marsden; several glees by a select party, and songs by popular local singers. Mr H. M. Jones has kindly lent a piano for the occasion, Mr Charles Wood is to be orchestral leader, Mr Gates conductor, and Major Steward chair man, of the meeting. The Wellington correspondent of the "Otago Daily Times" telegraphs—lt is understood that the Primate has determined to resign 'at an early date owing to his in creasing years and infirmities. He attained the age of seventy-seven years last week, and has been suffering much lately from illness. Twice during the recent session of the Diocesian Synod the Primate had to leave the chair and retire from the hall owing to weakness of the heart's action, but after re storatives had been applied ho was able to resume his duties, although evidently at the cost of much personal inconvenience. I have reason to believe that the Primate intended to announce to the Diocesan Synod before it closed his impending resignation, but that he was deterred by the unfavourable account received of the Bishop ot Nelson's condition which made the Primate's resignation virtually impracticable. Holloway's Pills axd Ointment are particularly recommended to persons who have to pass their lives m confined and crowded places ; hundreds of thousands of our fellow creatures toil from morning until evening m factories and workshops to the detriment of their health, and the de terioration of the race. They suffer m consequence from indigestion, flatulence and want of appetite, and these complaints, if neglected, bring about nervousness and failure of the vital powers. Holloway's remedies can be used by such sufferers to their very great advantage, as they are mild m action, and certain m their effects. No one need therefore lose a day's work when using them, a matier of consequence to those whose daily bread depends on daily toil.

OHEA.P TURNIP MANURE. \J , „ i About Is 6d per cwt on the Farm. Hount Soiners liime KILLS THE DIAMOND-BVCK MOTH. I The Diamokd-Back Moth.—Recently, says the "Manchester Guardian," Mr M. M. Reynard, Inspector of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a series of experiments m the Alnwiek district, i for the purpose of discovering the best : preventive of the ravages of the destruc tive diamond-back moth. As the result I of his observations he has been fled to j think that a mixture of soot and lime applied m the proportion of two bushels of lime and six of soot to the acre will be found to be the most effective and cheapest dressing. Nob only does the mixture seem to kill the caterpillar, but it is also an excellent fertiliser. MR JAMES AUSTIN, | Winchester, ' Says—The Lime I bought was used with Turnips, and I have the best crop of Hybrid and Swedes that I ever had. notwithstanding the very bad season for that crop. I sowed the lime with a Duncan drill, and had no difficulty m so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I nobice the roots are much lerger than elsewhere. lam now usir.g Lime m sawing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Forest, Says—He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres lie used lime and phosphate m the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres lie used two buckets full of lime to one hundredweight of phosphate; on another thirty acres he used phosphate alone—m each case one and a quarter hundredweight was used per acre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing m the land which had the most lime, although he was told not to mix the lime and phosphate, as the lime would liberate the ammonia from the phosphate. Finishes by saying lie is so pleased with the result that he intends using lime again. MR W. HARRISON, South Rakaia, Says—He ground the lime into a fine powder and mixed the turnip seed with it and sowed with an ordinary grain drill at the rate of 2| cwt per acre. In about fifteen hours after sowing, the scribe, which the coulter of the drill left on the around, was quite moist with the lime dissolving, and m about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted. He finishes by saying that had it been a dimp season he believes the lime would have been a thorough success. P.S,—Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder.
