SUPREME COURT.

Cheistchubch, August 20 At the Supreme Court, Maurice Savage, for breaking into an hotel and stealing a number of flasks of spirits, was sentenced to four months' imprisonment. John Sorenson was found guilty of larceny and George James Eden of forgery and uttering. Sentence m each case was deferred. George Blackmore and George Shaskey pleaded guilty to having broken into a house and were remanded for the report of the Probation Officer. John Archer was acquitted on a charge of indecent assault. Hugh Robert Rich pleaded guilty to having stolen 500 sovereigns on June 6, the property of the National Bank, m whose employ he waua clerk. Mr Joynt for the accused, said that Rich had taken the money under ex treme pressure from without, which, he feared would cause him tr lose his ap pointment. No part of the money had reached him, and he had some grounds for hope that he would have been abla to make the default good again. His Honor said that, as he understood, the accused had not admitted the offence till told that the matter had been placed m the hands of the police. The money had been taken under circumstances calculated to throw suspicion on his fellow employees. He had persisted m a false story till it was obviously impossible to persist m it any longer. There were no redeeming features about the case ; the accused had been placed m a very responsible position and had betrayed his trust by taking a large sum of money. "Whoever had had the money, the accused had not attempted to account for it. Making all the allowances due on account of a first offence, he (his Honor), fel* 1 it incumbent to inflict a sub stantial punishment. The accused would be sentenced to imprisonment) with hard labor for two years. Albert Otten was found guilty of having at the Cuat on July 2, wilfully and fraudulently kept and re tained a post letter which ought to have been delivered* to William Frederick Conway, and was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment.

The Rev B. A. Scotc will occupy the pulpit of St Stephen's church on Sunday next and will give ao address at Seafield m the afternoon.

F. FERRIMAN, BO N E MIL LB, Wakanui Road. w* AND he gave it for hii opiaion that whoever would make two ears of corn or two blades of grass to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country than the whole race of politicians put together.— Swiff, TUBNIPS. UNLIKE the mangold, this crop will not stand much forcing. When over fed, the roots are spongy and don't keep well. They have also a tendency to dry rot. This is particularly the case when foroed to a great degree. Excessive forcing increases the bulk, but the increase is entirely la water, so that the value of the turnip crop is not increased, but lessened. — Goulding. . i , ', JUST enough Nitrogen should be given to give the Turnip a quick start through the " fly;" and for this purpose I can recommend my Bone Dust. The crops following the turnips will also give a most wonderfnl in crease, and the value of my Bone Dust can be seen for several seasons.
