OBITUARY.

Inverness (Scotland) Courier. On May 28, 1894, there died at Glenmore, Lochcarron, Mr David Jackson, at the advanced age of ninety-one. Mr Jackson was a native of Liddesdale in Roxburgh shire, but was for the long period of sixty years a resident in the parish of Lochcarron, He first came to the country as a shepherd in the service of the late Mr Adam Scott, Tullich, and afterwards of Mr John Reid, New Kelso. For many years subsequently he was sheep manager on the estate of Achnashellach to Lord Hill, Lord Elphm stone, and Mr Tennant, by all of whom he was held in the highest esteem. For the last fifteen years he has been tenant of Glen more, belpved by everyone, from the highest to the humblest of the people. On the Sabbath subsequent to his funeral, which was largely attended, the parish minister, preaching from Genesis xlix. 29-33, said : —"While dealing with this passage our thoughts must have revetted of tea to one who has very recently been called from our midst, who having reached a patriarchal age was known to you all aa a man of great excellence and the highest integrity. His kiodness of heart waa only equalled by hia humbleness of mind. In him we have lost one who was the oldest man in the com munity, the oldest communicant on our communion roll, an exemplary parent, re lative, and neighbor, a regular attender on ordinances, and a devout and guileless Christian. Having many qualities in which he resembled those men of faith of old, he haß at last resembled them in this point also, in following to the last resting place the be loved remains of the wife whom, many ytars ag6, he laid in the grave which now holds his own dust till the morning of the resurrection. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth." The deceased was the father of our neighbor, Mr Adam Jackson, J.P., of Ealing,

A. & P. ASSOCIATION.

A meeting of the Ashburton A. and P. Association Committee was held in the Arcade rooms yesterday. Mr T. E. Upton occupied the chair. JUDGES. The following judges were appointed : —pigs, Mr D. Kent, jun. ;dogs, Mr Peter Elder; implements, Mr Job Osborne ; produce, Mr Macgregor Watb ; bread, Mr P. Hanrahan. NON-PAYma MEMBERS. Prior to the election of marshals, Me Reid moved that no member who h is not paid his last year's subscription, should be allowed to remain on the committee or act as a marshal, Mr Bruce considered that as the rising generation would have the future conduct of the Association, it would be well to en courage them to take an interest in its affairs by appointing tham marshals. Ofl this suggestion, an addition was made to Mr Reid's motion by which members' sons were to be allowed to act as marshals. Mr Max Friedlander moved as an amendment that rules 11 and 12 be strictiy enforced. He considered this would meet the case Mr James Brown said the motion was out of pUce. The committee had already baen elected and he did not see that it was for that meeting to question the ap-: pointments. The question of payment of , arre&rs should have been raised prior to i the election. (Mr Reid —"It was."} Then he took it Mr Reid had been de feated, and so that should have settled it. Then, as for the word " arrears," as mentioned in the rules, by the strict j meaning of the word—in his opinion- it i would disqualify most of them from vot- I ing as it would apply to all members who had not paid the present year's subscrip tions which were due several months ago. The chairman stated that all members of the committee had paid their last year's subscriptions. Mr IX Thomas thought both motion and amendment should be withdrawn, as they were really to the effect of rules already in force. Both amendment and motion were then pat and carried. Mr Thomas moved as a further amend ment that the whole question be referred to a committee to report to next meeting. As by this time over an hour had been spent discussing the matter and members were apparently tiring of the subject, the amendment was not put and the election i f marshals was proceeded with. MARSHALS. The following marshals were appointed: — Sheep—Merinos—Messrs H. A. Mackay and W, Prebble. Lincolns—Messrs J. Dawson and E. Matson. Leicesters— Messrs S. Chapman and Bruce, jr. Downs—Messrs Leadley and Lamb, jr. Crossbreds—Messrs J. Brown and A. Lloyd. Fat Sheep and Lambs—Messrs M. Bruce and A. Prummond, Cattle— Messrs Croy, Horsey, and Lloyd. Horses —Draughts—Messrs C.

Cooksnn, and D. Zander. Implements—Messrs J. Scaly, G. Lamb, and J. Tucker, jr. DOSATIONS. Mr W. M, LytUeton apologised for absence and promised two silver cuds, valued at five guineas each, to be awarded as the committee recommended. This was exclusive of bia «sual donation of two guineas for haifbreds. " The New Zealand Farmers' Co-opera tive Association promised, three guineas and the Saleyards Company five guineas towards the prize fund. A haarty vote of thanks was accorded to theao donors. OFFICES. The Wakanui Road Board offered the use of their rooms to the Association at a rentai of £1 a year. After discussion, it ! was decided to thank the Wakanui Road Board for their liberal offer, but to con tinue to hold the meetings in the Arcade rooms and to use, the office wbich Mr Thomas assured the meeting was to be at the disposal of the Association as long as they liked to use it. HURDLES. Mr Friedlander had a quotation for new hurdles, and he considered it would be better for the Association to have a hundred hurdles mad© than to have again to pay the heavy hire and cartage charges. The quotadon being very low it was decided to have 100 new hurdles n/ade. NEW MEMBEBS. JElevea new members were elected* 3HSCELLANEOCJS.

A I»i«g-r»eeful Sceiie.

(Received September 12, 12.10 p.m.) Brisbane, September 12. A scene unparalleled in the history of the colony was witnessed in an early hour of this morning. In the Assembly during the debate on the Peace Preservation Bill, Mr Glassey appealed to the Government to appoint a conciliation committee to go west and endeavor to settle the strike. Mr Tozer replied that Government were prepared to accept several amendments from the Opposition if the Committee allowed the first six clauses to go through. Probably matters would be so altered by that time that the re maining portions of the Bill would not be necessary. Mr Glassey said they would not ac cept the lines of the present Bill, and the stonewall was continued. At one o'clock Mr Stevens, acting Chairman,! had occasion to call the labor members to order, and an uproar ensued. The Chairman ordered Messrs Eeid and Browne to resume their seats, but they declinedj and the Speaker was sent for. Mr Brown was named and suspended for seven days, but declining to leave the Chamber was forcibly ejected by the officers amid cries of " coercion" »nd cheers from the labor party. Similar proceedings were taken against Messrs Beid, McDonald, and Turley ' amid intense excitement, Mr Glassey and others attempted to raise points of order, but; the Chairman refused to al low any debate. Mr Power said he hoped the House would never see Mr Stephens Chairman again, a remark which caused the wildest uproar. Mr Dunsford called out—" Stephens comes to the House in a half sleepy drunken state," for which he too was reported and suspended for a week, Mr Glassey then insisted on being heard and defied the chair, and shared the fate of his companions. Mr Dawson was also suspended, and the House finally ad journed at 2.30.

TURNIPS. UNLIKE the mangold, this crop will not stand much forcing. When orer fed, the roots are spongy and don't keep well. They have also a tendency to dry rot. This is particularly the case when forced to a great degree. Excessive forcing increases the bulk, but the increase is entirely in water, so that the value of the turnip crop is not increased, but lessened. — Goulding. \ JUST enough Nitrogen should be given to give the Turnip ft quick start through the " fly;" and for this purpose I can recommend my Bon* Dust.
