INTERPROVINCIAL.

WANOAircri, November 30. A party of three Wanganui photo graphers who set out to go to Ohura, 110 miles up the Wanganui river, on Tuesday, November 22, arrived back to-day, and report that they were stopped by hostile natives and obliged to turn back when they had got to Mangapurna, only 75 miles from Wanganui. At this place they were overtaken by 14 canoes containing about 150 Maoris, and threatened by the native propet Te Kere, that if they went further they would be bound and thrown into the river, and their goods confiscated. The two Maori guides with the party were unable to persuade Te Keie and his followers to allow them to proceed, and finally they were obliged to turn back.

(Before Mr C. A. Wray U.M.) Allkgbo Rescue.—Mrs Elliott was charged with illegally rescuing a cow from the euHtody of the ranger. It appeared that in pursuance of instructions from the Borough Council, to allow no cattle to be grazed on Ihe Borough reserves, the ranger's assistant had impounded a cow, the-property of Mrs Elliott, from a vacant itrfdi dnfertced reserve hear her dwelling, *> November I". 'Mrs Elliott denied any knowledge of the section being a reserve, and asserted thap she had no intention of ftfebuing ih/e 90W, Raving offered to pay the 2 driving Sfe^s when the" young ritan wanted \o hike the cW away: 'She said tiie'iiioftey wa« relu'sed by i-he lad, and dtar^ wiri ijot^ingielt H ,hw to M but

I take charge of the cow so that she should not he overdriven on the way to the pound. The Magistrate accepted the trespass as proved, but gave Mrs Ellntt the benaut of a doubt as to her intention j to rescue, and dismissed her with a cau- J tion, Mr Cuthbertson appear.d for the I defence. A similar charge was laid against Samuel Elliott, but was dismissed I after hearing evidence, Elliott asserting he had paid the boy a shilling, the fee for re- I Keying the cow, and the boy denying that I statement, and saying that instead Elliott I had threatened to thrash him. As there was I a doubt in this case also, Elliott got the I benefit, and the case was dismissed. Mr I Cuthbertson defended in this case also. 1 Borough By-Laws.—Ernest Chyton I was fined Is for riding a bicycle after I sunset without a light, I Maintenance.—An orderto contribute I 2s 6d a week each for their mother's sup- I port was made against five sons of Mrs I Elizabeth Parkin—to be paid monthly. I Stray Ducks, &g.— J. F. Butler and I John Hepburn were fined nominal sums I for allowing ducks or geese to stray. I Doo Registration.—E. J. Cox, ad | journed from last Court day, was fined 5s I for non-registration of dogs. I Civil Cases.—Webb vW. H. Paget, I £6. Mr Wilding for plaintiff, Mr Cuth- I bertson for defendant. This case was ad- I journed from last week to admit of further I evidence being produced by defendant as I to the payment of a portion of the amoun ; I claimed. Two cheques were produced, I alleged to have been paid to plaintiff by I defendant, but plaintiff had no recollec- I tions of the cheques. J-udgment was I givea for plaintiff for amount claimed, 1 with costs. Reid and Gray vR. Pat ton, I£3 Os 6d. Mr PurKell for plaintiffs. I Judgment for amount by default, Orr I and Co. vJ. Kirk, £8 9s 11. This *as a I claim for the value of a barber's chair, imported bj Orr and Co, from Melbourne, at the order of defendant, but which de fendant refused so take delivery of. Mr Purnell for plaintiff, Mr Cuthbertson for | defendant. The evidence for plaintiffs was to the effect that the chair had been ordered from Melbourne by them at defendant's request, and* in accordance with a figured advertisement issued by the Melbourne firm, supplied by defendant. The chair cobt £5 17s 6d in Melbourne, and the amount claimed included the purchase money, forwarding charges, and commis sion, 10 per cent, which was the agreed on rate. The chair was damaged in transit, but the broken casting was replaced an J the damage made good, .but defendant declined te take the chair. For the de* fence Kirk said the chair sent was a No. 1 chair and he had ordered a No, 2. The chair sent was useless for the every day work of the business, both on account of its size and its faulty condition. He had offered Mr Orr £5 to Bettle the matter. J M'Kay gave evidence %a to the use" leasness of the chair in a barber's shop. The Magistrate recognised iha' Mr Orr was only an agent in the transac tion, and was not responsible for the fault of the Shipping Company or the I firm from whom, at defendant's order, the chair had been obtained, ai:d gave udgment for plaintiff with costs.

Lost in the Bush.

One of Dunedin's oldest inhabitants, who is still hale and hearty, has owned one of the corner sections in the city ever since the first sale of town land took place, soon after the foundation of the settlement. The original price was only £12 10s, but it is now worth at least £50,000. When the diggings rush took place a Melbourne merchant wanted to buy the section, and offered him £1000 for it. This seemed at the time a fabulous sum to the owner, who, however did not want to sell, *'Gae awa' wi'ye mon" he *aid to the tempter, ".ye canna have come by your money honestly or ye wadna be sac free wi' yer thousands."— Extract from the " Bulletin," June 28, 1890. Gentle reader, the above paragraph is reply instructive. You all have heard of the man who swopped his land in Oollins Street, Melbourne, for a bottle of rum, because his land was "too far in the bush." Most of you know men ; who to day are wealthy through their foresight iti buying land and hclding in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, etc. After having read the above just think for a moment, does it not strike you that now is the time for you to buy land at Perth, the capitalcity of Western Aus tralia, " the coming colony." It is now scarcely 18 months since responsible Govern ment was granted, and the "Cinderella" of the ground has taken her position beside her sister colonies and will prove a formidable rival. Business and villa sites may be purchased in Perth from £5 5s per lot, payable 10s monthly, no interest charged. Title, clear cer tificate. Plans and full particulars from P. Callighan, junr., 134 Swanson-street, corner of Little Collins t treet, Melbourne. N.B Every lot is guaranteed high, well drained, free from any defects, and per fect building land,
