THE ASHBORTON GtTAKDiAtfi WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 18&1



At the Horticultural Society's meeting Tuesday evening, a large amount of detail business was transacted. The chief items of public business were the appointed of a committee to report at next meeting on the question of a pl*ce to hold the forth coming show in ; judge* for cotlage gardens ; and the admission of four new members. On Friday afternoon a man called at a watchmaker's shop in East street and hav ing selected a watch and pendant, walked off with them without "by your leave " to t c prop ietor. The matter was not placed in the hands of the police till the next morn ing, when the offender had disappeared fom the town. The local force being short-handed, owing to two of their number being disabled, the assistance of detective Benjamin was obtained from Christchurch, and to-day he and Constable Hunt made an arrest in the country in connection i» ith the affair. * A meeting of the Committee of the Ash burton Football Club was held on Saturday evening. Mr Leicester Matson wrote resign ing his position as secretary. The resigna tion wag received with many expressions of regret, Mr Matson having been one of the original promoters of the Club. Mr E. E. Clowes was elected to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the Club's year. The Secretary was instructed to write to the South Canterbury Rugby Union remembers' expense in representative matches, and sub committees were appointed to prepare Ihe annual report and balance-sheet for annual meeting early in March. The meeting closed, after various other business had been trans acted, with a vote of thanks to the chair. The Club should have a very successful season this year. A few days ago the Wellington " Post" on the authority of a resident who had been on a visit Home, stated that the only New Zealand newspapers filed at the Agent- Geueral's office in London for public perusal were the 'New Zealand Times," the "Lyttelton Times," and the " Wanganui Herald," no paper cot: of the " right ooloor" being accessible. A Dunedin gentleman, on whom we can rely, iuformed the "Otago Daily Times " that there are at least a dozen New Zealand papers filed, and amongst them a complete file of the "Otago Daily Times." He speaks from personal knowledge, as he visited the office periodically to read up the Dunedin news. One clerk is stationed in the room who is very useful for reference, and Mr Perceval and all his clerks are most courteous aud attentive to visitors. It is evident (says the " Daily Times ") that the Wellington gentleman who made complaint through the Wellington "Evening Post" was trying to make a point at the expense of the Agent-General, knowing that an autho ritative cont.adiction coutd not be received under three or four months. In giving currency to the complaint, we distinctly stated that we refused to believe it, aad we are glad we have an opportunity of at once showing that the complaint was groundless. The police authorities of Auckland, the "Herald" states, are still busily investigat ing what is known as " the cream of tartar arsenic case.'* It appears that quite a num ber of persons besides the family of Nelson had a narrow escape. In one case three ceildren ate a piece of cake and came home from school ill, and rolled about the grass in great pain, and ultimately recovered. A second case is that of a widow lady, who, on being seized with vomiting from eating the cake prepared, actually put a teaspoon ful or two of the cream of tatar in a glass of water, with the intention of drinking it to settle her stomach, but was too sick to swallow it. In a third case the wife aiid baby were suddenly taken ill, and the husband who was unwell, had also par taken of the cake, etc., prepared, The food was thrown out, but no suspicion fell on the cream of tartar till Nelson's death was reported. The dispute between tha Mayor of Christ church (Mr Eden George) and the Depart mental Committee of the Council came up at the meeting of the Council on Monday evening, when fourteen cut of fifteen mem bers were present. The committee pre sented a report bringing under the notice of the t Council a breach of etiquette and usage on the pare of the Mayor by his writing to the newspapers making public the proceed ings of committees, and the great variance in his statements and the committees' minute?. Councillor Swarm, chairman c«f the com mittee, moved the adoption of the report. Ihe Mayor, Who was unwell, contended that he was justified in writing to the papers, as he kuew he would not be allowed to state his case in the Council without interruption. He alleged that his version of the affair was correct, that he had not initiated the pro ceedings which led to the dismissal of the employee who was practically the bone of contention, and that he had not acted as he had because the employee had voted against him. All the members of the committee asserted that the minutes were correct. Several Councillors condemned the Mayor's conduct, and finally all the Councillors pre sent rose and left the room, thus breaking up the meeting. How Sambo Understood French Fin says to the runaway negro on the raft, I'Jim, whpt'd you say if 'twas said to you 1 Parly-vous-franzy ?' " " Wouldn't say nuffin. I'd just bust him over de ear 5 if he wasn't a wite man. 'Low no nigger to call me dat.' Fjnnsays the words only mean, "Do you dpeak French ?" Jim inquires, "If they mean that why don't they say that?" Dr Forest says, in "Health, the New Method," we might make similar in quiries of the professors ot Massotherapy ; but he goes on to explain massage, rubbing, and its beneficial results so that it might even enter the skull of the densest negro ; and his muscle-roller and other new method are invaluable. An edition of his book much enlarged, is published at "Truth' and "Health" Publication Offices, 160 Tuam street, Christchurch. —[Advt.] KEATING'S POWDER" destroys BUGS, FLEAS, MOTHS, BEETLES, and all other insects, whilst quite harmless to domestic animals.

A. Naggringr "Wtt.e _ » A FACT. A speaker was holding forth on woman, and he made out that she was just a little angel on earth. In glowing words he pictured how patient she was in suffering, how courageous in trouble, and how alto l gether gentle, loving, and good she was under all circumstances, and closed his peroration by declaring that any man who laid his hand on a woman, save in the act of kindness, was a monster. After the lecture, a pale, haggard, woebegone looking man shuffled up to the speaker and said, *•' Look here, mister, I've heard what you've been saying about woman ; all about how nice and swest she is, why, one would imagine that you believed all women were just blushing full blown roses; I guess you don't know my wife.

JLost in the 13ub1i« ■ ■ . 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 said to the tempter, ''ye canna have come by your money honestly or ye walnabesae 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 Collins Street, Melbourne, for a bottle of rum, because his land was " too far in the bush."
