The Otago Daily^ Times, of November 5, has the following :—F^rty five years

ago to-day news reached Dunedin that the Act of

OUR COSSTITUTIOI.

Parliament grant ing a Constitution iolSew Zealand had received the Royal assent, and great was the rejoicing among those who declaimed against what they considered the tyranny of the north. Turning to the Otago Witness of November 13, 1352, we find that a crier was sent through the town calling upon the people to illuminate, an, appeal which was heartily responded to. An attempt was made to fire the gun on the jetty, but fAiled 'temporarily owing to want of sufficient powder. But, despite torrents of rain, a boat's crow set off for Port Chalmers to bring up a supply. A bonfire was lighted on Bell Hill, where First Church now stands, and two impromptu bonfires on a smaller scale blazed in the main street, Burning tar barrels were set afloat in the harbor, and there was an incessant rattle of small arms in addition to the booming of the cannon after the powder arrived. A fiddler paraded the streets playing Scotch reels, but as the mud proved too much for the dancers they turned the jetty into a ballroom, and there kept the fun going until 1 a.m. on the 6th, when " God save the Queen " was sung, and the more sedate portion of the community retired to rest. The Witness records the pleasing fact that there were no accidents and no drunkenness when the people of Otago rejoiced over their Constitution, It only remains to, be said that it took nearly five months for the news to reach the colony.

The building is really a small one, although intended to be of the shape mentioned. But that is for the sweet by-and-by, when Mr Collison " can afford it."

A poor unfortunate selector who has been to see his section beyond Manpawefca with the intention of clearing enough ground to build a house upon, has found the whole of his allotment in such a hopeless state of upendedness that he has been compelled to abandon the section altogether.

FLEMINGTON.

From Our Own Correspondent

The annual tea meeting in connection with the Flemington Presbyterian Church was held in the schoolroom on Thursday evening. The weather, after the abundant rain of the previous evening, was all that could be desired; the gathering was a very large one, representative of all parts of the counby, and the young ladies in charge of the tables wet c kept busy for over two hours. The tables were laden with everything that could tempt the appetite ; and your corres pondent heard several visitors remark that there was no necessity for cooking classes at Flemington. It is well known that the Fiemington ladies have always come to the front in cooking, as will be seen by the prize list at the la)e Ashburton Show.

OHRISTOHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

Press. The English wheat market ia maintaining its strong position, and there has been another advance of Is per quarter during the week, while the Continental and Ameri can markets are aiso 6rmer. The Victorian crops are giving some cause for anxiety on account of the dry weather, and are not anticipated to turn out nearly so well as was estimated a short time ago, On the other hand, private advices have been re ceived to the effect that the New South Wales crop will be the best • they have had for years, and that colony is not likely to be an importer this year. In fact, markets for the surplus ate now being looked for, aa the harvest will shortly be in full swing. Mean while the price of wheat in Australia is merely nominal, and latest quotations were Melbourne, 5a 2d to 6j 4d ; Sydney, 4« 6d; and Adelaide, ss. The looai market is in unusually quiet state, both v regards grain and produce. There is absolutely no buaineis doing in wheat, though there are a few Unas on offer, whilst oau are equally unsaleable. There have been a few sales of oatsheaf chaff, and prices are a shade firmer. A rather better demand has been manifested during the , week for potatoes for export, but buyers are not inclined to offer more than 20s. The Dunedin wheat market is firm, and odd lotfl of milling change hands at equal to 4b 8d to 4s 9d for prime Northern velvet, and 4s 4s to 4a 6d for Tuscan. The oat mar ket there is dull, and prime milling are only worth Is lid to 2s, and short feed Is lOd to Is lid. i The following are current prices paid to ! farmer*, f.0.b,, Lytfcelton, for direct ship ; ment from country stations and free of 1 commiß«iou, except were otherwise Bpeob : fied :— Wheat-—Good to prime quality pearl 4« 2d to 4s 3d, Tuscan 4s l£d to 4s 2sd, Hunter* I 4s to 4a Id, second quality wheat about 2<J j lower.

HolliOWat's Pills, ~The Great Need.— The blood is the life, and on its purity our existence depends.
