The work of the classes m Standards VI., 11., and I. is entitled to the very highest commendation: and the attainments of the children m the infant department are as good as skil ful and intelligent teaching can make them. Standard IV.^ without showing any strik ing merit, obtains under careful prepara tion, a large number of passes of very fair quality. Standards 111. and V. do not produce so favorable an impression; m addition to the difficulties common to the whole school the former of these classes has suffered from some weakness of con trol and the latter from a double change of teachers during the year. Coming as it does a month earlier than usual and after a serious interruption (of five weeks) to the contiuunity of the work caused by an outbreak of illness of almost epidemic form, the present examination may be said to yield results thnt are eminently gratifying; a.id the headmaster is to'J>e heartily congratulated on the exceptional measure of success he has obtained for the school under most trying conditions.

Prisoner took out his knife, opened it, and put it to his throat. Got the knife away from him on the pretext of wanting to cut some tobacco. Told hia sisters about prisoner's strange conduct, and they advised him to get the police.

Tuk Best Rkmbdy fou Indioivstion — Norton's Camomile Pills are confident} recommended as a simple remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all the diseases to which we are subjects Norton's Pills, with justice called the •Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach," act as a powerful tonic and gentle perient, are mild m their operation, and safe under any circumstances. Sold m bottles, at Is l^d, 2s 9d, 11s, by all medicine vendors throughout, the world. Holloway's Pills and Ointment are particularly recommended to persons who have to pa5S 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 matter of consequence to those whose daily bread depends on daily < toil.

Mount Homers liime ■ ' ■ KILLS r ■■ THE DIAMOND-B\OK MOTH. The Diamond-Back Moth.—Recently, says the " Manchester Guardian," Mi M. M. Reynard, Inspector of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a series of experiments m the Alnwick district* for the purpose of discovering the best preventive of the ravages of the destruc tive diamond-back moth. As the result of his observations he has been led to think that a mixture of soot and lime applied m the proportion of two bushel* of lime and six of soot to the acre will be found to be the most effective and cheapest dressing. Not only does the mixture seem to kill; the caterpillar^ ;but ; it is alao 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 Ilever had, notwithstanding the very bad season for that crop. I sowed the lime with a Duncan drill, and had nq difficulty m so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I nobice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m sswing Avheat, 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 he u&ed lime and phosphate m the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres he 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 lirae and phosphate, as the lime would liberate the ammonia from the phosphate. Finishes by saying he is so pleased with the result that he intends using lime again. MR W. HARRISON, ; South Rakaia, Says—He ground the lime' into a line powder and mixed the turnip seed with it and sowed with ail ordinary grain drill at the rate of 2k cwt per acre. In about fifteen hours after sowing, the scribe, which the coulter of the drill left on the ground, 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 damp seasojii. he believes che lime would have been a thorough success, f P.S.—Damping the lime \\>tyh § Ij^lo water will give a dry p&wder.* (3l*» 1° ensure delivery Orders should be sent early^ X F.
