Peripatetic Notes.

. ' .» By a travelling Correspondent. FLOODS IN THE NORTH The rivers m Northern Canterbury have been m high flood. L%Bt week the Ashley was running bauk and bank and there was no fording it, all traffic having to go via Woodend and over the lower bridge. The Waimakariri was a grand sight so long aa you had nob to ford it. Traffas to Waikari was cut off for over ft week owing to a mishap to the Weka creek bridge just at the entrance to the fam ms pass of the same name. Fancy driving to thia bridge, about six miles from Waikari and having to turn back ! This had to be done, however, as it was impossible to get across especially as the Waipara river had to' be negotiated and was dangeroda. THE WEKA PASS. The WekaPass is worth avieifc, eppec iallyln summer. There you have the Seal rook, the Pigeon rock, and the three Devil's Punchbowls, cut of the solid stone by the force of the stream. These latter— the punchbowls- are situ ated one below the other and are about 5f6 deep. Your readers should see them when they come along this way. Ab presents the roads are very bad m places, naring been cut up by the raJns. STUCK FAST IN THE WAIPAKA. It is bad enough for a horse, cart and driver to be stuck faßt m a river with the water rising rapidly, bub it is perhaps worse to be m such a predicament with a traotion-eogino and .qombine. Such was the position for a day or two of Mr Brown, who while attempting to cross thac river got fairly stuok up m the Waipara Be was crossing towards Amberley and got fast m the shingle and there the river which, was rising, kept him, as the engine could nofc be got through the cur rent. On Wednesday, however, he w*s able to emerge safely on the other side, and to proceed oh his journey, pleased to be on a hard road again. SOME BAD BOADS. —^ By the bye, talking of roads, I cannot held contrasting tha splendid roads of the Weka Pasß and all round Waikari with that pieoe of brutally bad road m your county between Ohertsey and Ashburton. If anybody at all is entitled to be punished for cruelty to animals the Road Board members who have that road under their control should be, and that with a good birch rod on the b»re back. Either there is no Road Board, I imagine, or ohe they moßt be miserably hard np. Th< n the read from Rolleston to Selwyn is jusb as bad. I have driven, through Canterbury, Nelson, M»rlboroug\i, and Weßtland, and for a main road theHe parts of the Great South Road beat all the roads I have seen for badness. . THE SUNDAY STOCK TRAINS,. In view of the correspondence whioh has appeared m the Christchurch papers on the above subject, f have made cuefnl enquiry and find that the matter stands thud : Owing to the lease of the Horsley Downs run having expired, and the land being m the market for absolute sale for oash(ib is part of the Midland Railway grant) tha sheep had to be sold and got rid of. There were some 41,000, all of whioh, I am informed, passed into the hands of Drfgety and Company. In addition to this mob, some 37,000 loft Gulvetden, that is 78,000 m all, and, as they were to go all the way to Kurow by road, and then 140 miles inland beyond that point, to Fave expens*, negotiations were opened with - the Railway Depart ment whi-sh resulted m a cheap rate of freight being agreed to, on tbe understand ing that the sheep were to travel on San days. Hence it happens that for the past throe Sundays trains have run loaded with sheep -on Sunday- week two trains on the one day, which passing through Waikari startled the inhabitants by their whistling. Last Sunday the driver and guard had Instructions to proceed very quietly, which they did. What the Waikari people feel keenly, however, is that the Liberal Government", after all its professions and its labor measures, which were to give work to the working classes, should by running these cheap Sunday stock trains have deprived a good many drovers of employment 1 , andac thesam? timerequired the engiris-drlvers and gnardß to do an extra d»yV» woik m the week. Tt is com plained thab mso doing the Government bare run counter to the wishes of the electors and openly broken the Sabbath. The laws they have made punish a man for opening Irs shop on Sunday, and here we have the lawmakerudisregard ing Sunday themselves, thus wounding the consciences of many, who though hitherto their political supporters now declare that they can count upon their allegiance no longer, hold ing that this desecration of the D*y of Rest: was quite uncalled f >r, and sanctioned for the benefit of a few who belong to the class which they used to call social pests, while at the same time depriving working men of employment. The people up here are determined that more shall be heard of the matter- They will not accept the excuse that to forward the sheep during the week would interfere with the ordinary traffic. They hold that the authorities eonld, and should have made arrangf ments to ran the trains on week-days or week nights, or else should bave left the matter •lone, and allowed the übeep to be driven down by drovers, of whom there are plenty wanting a job. It is to be hoped thab this will be the last of Government Sunday labor. If not, universal indignation will be aroused, all over thia part of the Colony at all events* *' Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work."

(THE N AMOS FATALITY. Sydney, April 10 At the enquiry into the Namos fatality the verdict of the jury was accidental death, but a rider was added censuring the owners of the steamer for the great lack of discipline shown by their servants on the occasion of the accident, and recommending that m future when an order is given to stand by the boats the men should not leave their posts till the boat reaches the water. The jury are also of opinion that Brightmore, the passenger who gratuitously assisted m lowering the boat, while not criminally liable, was deserving of censure, as he had no right to interfere with the duties of the ship's crew. AN ALIBI PROVED. Cornelius O'Connor, who was arrested on a charge of being con cerned m the Oollarindabee murder, has been released on his proving an alibi. RECEPTION OF LORD LAMING TON. Brisbane, April 9 Fully 70,000 people witnessed the landing of the Governor, Lord Latning ton, and the brilliancy of the display surpassed anything of the kind ever seen here before. The festivities were, however, at tended with a serious accident. A i balcony, on which some fifty people j had assembled to view the proceedings, collapsed, precipitating twenty of the occupants to the pavement below. Nine were more or lean injured, and the majority were taken to the hospi | tal. The chief sufferers were women i and children. April 10. Three of those injured by yesterday's : fall off a balcony during the proces sion at Lord Limington's reception, are m an extremely critical condition. His Excellency visited the victims m the hospital. AN IMPORTANT JUDGMENT. An important full Court judgment was delivered m which the Scottish and Australian Investment Company were the defendants. The action was brought by the Government to recover the dividend duty on certain prefer- i ential shares. The Company held that payment on preferential stock was simply a discharge of a debt entered .into prior to the passing of the Divi dend Duties Act. The Court ruled that the payment came within the scope of the Act, .and ordered the Company to pay duty amounting to £8550 and costs. CABLE COMMUNICATION INTERRUPTED.

Mr. E.F. Wright's Con sumption Cure

The friends of Mr E. F. Wright, who went Home about a year ago to exploit his new remedy for pulmoinary disease will be pleased to read the following, which is dipped from ihe letter of the London correspondent of the Press : — So far as can be judged, Mr E. F, Wright it at last on the high road to a complete recognition of the value of his " Consump tion Cure. ' Id. has been tried by an eminent doctor on five cases among his own patients, the drug being made up by himealf from the prescription supplied by Mr Wright, He informs Mr Wright that the effects have been m all oases .most satisfactory Four of the cases were m an incipient stage, the other was m a more advanced stage. In each ' instance the administration of Mr W right's remedy was followed by improved appetite, steady fall of temperature, cessation of night sweats, lobs of cough, increase m weight and strength and apparent cessation of the disease of the lunge. Four of (he cases are virtually cured. In three of them the patients have returned to their regular work. : Tha experimenting doctor writes that he considers the drug most valuable, especially m case of incipient phthisis, and that he thoroughly agreeß with Mr Wright m his estimate of the value of his discovery. I have myself read the letter, so there can be no mistake about the matter. Mr Wright has confided' to me the secret of hiß method, and I am therefore able to say that it is based upon sound scientific principles. This view ia strongly held by the dootor who has tried the remedy, and by the experts who have reviewed the general principles, of Mt Wri^hl'a theory. It really, seems . therefore as if a New Zealander were m a fair way to win th< honour of being one of the greatest bene factors of the human race. A cure for oon i sumption would get rid of one of mankind'i most dire scourges.' And if Mr Wright'i I system proves permanentlvsuccessful it wil be applicable, varied only m detail', to othei diseases hitherto incurable. 'Mr Wrigh 1 tells me that since his arrival m London hi I has discovered a new and greatly superio r method of preparing the medioine.
