At the Sangster Enquiry Board, ( the Secretary "of the Marine Insurance J Company deposed that Captain Me- ' Kenzie was dismissed from the service - of the Underwriters' Association, be- £ cause of the dishonest valuation of a * certain vessel and drunken habits. ' McKenzie, cross-examined by Mr ( Stewart, said that he reported the < barque Mary Ann, as seaworthy to < save friction. Otherwise he would have been dismissed. When she left < port, after being recoppered, she would ( have gone down had she met with a ' gale. He was compelled to give un- • true reports to satisfy the Insurance ' companies. Had he been a Govern- > ment officer he would have preprented ' some vessels that were there from going ' to sea. He denied that he wag addicted to drink. Mr Sangster gave evidence that he was aboard the Wendouree m January last. She was m a very bad j condition. He put his foot through i the deck. Another steamer was also , allowed to leave port with holes m her [ boilers. The Wendouree had been unseaworthy for eighteen months. The crew told him they were going to sea m a coffin to save funeral expenses rather than starve ashore. When vessels were being examined seamea and firemen would not give evidence, because if they did they knew there was no chance of their re engagement m Melbourne. The Wendouree's crew had begged him for the sake of their wives and families not to call them to give evidence.

The local market for wheat has been steady during the week at the above prices, but buyers who are m the market are not anxious purchasers at these prices* There, is, however, a disposition to regard the pre- Bent level of prices as bed rock. It is to be hoped that this will prove to be the case. In oats very few samples have yet come m, those which have being very inferior m quality. It appears likely that local consumption will , deal with the available surplus m this district. We have enquiries for shipment to Sydney for a considerable line of prime Canadians.

A COOLGARDIE EPISODE. James Quinn, the survivor of a party who tried to walk from the Norseman to Coolgerdie, says that his two mates — Cantwelland ©'Connor — who died of thirst, had. £5,000 awaiting them m a Bank at Ooolgardie, being the value of share? they had sold m the Norseman Great Boulder mine. They started on a Saturday, and on Sunday afternoon their supply of water had run out, some having leaked away. Oantwell, who was a noted wrestler, and O'Connor were reduced to terrible expedients to quench their thirst, and were soon unable to keep up with their companion. On Monday afternoon they asked to be left to die, and sent messages to their freinds by Quinn. At Sunday Soak, Quinn met a teamster and they went back to look for the missing men, but they had wandered away on the ironstone country and could not be traced.

Prevention is Better Than Cure f¥>HE few cases of Typhoid m Ashburton Borough and Suburbs afford no .1 ground for a " scare," but it is only by ÜBiDg reasonable precautions that tho dread scourgecan be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century " of last year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one- sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five 5 ears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interfst is being taken m the expermenis of the French Doctors, lioux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by epecial bacteria, caused by the effluvia rieing from drains,, back yards and premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Bsrrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. Bj r s use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agenci' s are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to the gar J en. The Poitable Barrows can be put to varions kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession of one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit Improved Copper Boilers. 1 have just received direct from the manufacturers a fresh supply of Portable Copper Boilers, with patent smoVe stack joii.t, and Semi-double sheeted frame— galvanised.
