Ashburton Guardian Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. MONDAY, JUNE 26, 1899.

Canada still keeps up its reputation aa the home for the Scotch agricultural settler. Already CANADA. . this year nearly 300 farmers, farm servants, and others, with families, have itft Scotland to try their fortune amongst their kith and kin m th» Dominion. Ihe Governor nt of Canada still continues to give to all desirable tettlers over 18 years of age a free grant of 160 acres of land m Manitoba, and some parts of the North-west Provinces. I'arm servants and female domestics are m great demand at good wages. As showing the enormous agricultural prosperity of the country, a few facts regard ing the Province of Manitoba m 1898 may be interesting to our readers. In 1891 the population of the province was 152,506; it isnow 229,881. The number of resident farmers m the province is 33,450, who*"~bwn among them 98,303 horses, 219,743 bead of cattle, 24,566 sheep, 66,565 pigs, and disposed of 31,455 turkeys, 13,010 geese, and 127,660 chickens. The value of the dairy products was £80,000. The present acreage under crop is 2,84,929 acres, which, during the season of 1898, yielded 35,313,745 bushels wheat, 17,408,252 bushels oats, 4,277,927 bushels barley, 3,753,088 bushels potatoes, 2,471.715 bushels roots, besides 450,000 bushels beanp, rye, and peas.

- ;Reopk(Ung o» St. St«ph»n'B. —July 6 hat definitely been fixed for the re-opening and dedication services at St. Stephen's Church. Special services will be held both afternoon and evening. His Lordship Bishop. Julias will be present. '; .WiNKtKS Of*.—As Mr TrevurzV was driving the entire NewTork at Springlrarn a few days ago, the animal, which ia usually a <*uiet one, by some means got the winkers off, and becoming startled, bolted*. About a couple of miles of oountry were covered m good time, when Mr Trevutz* managed {o steer the runaway inte^ a fence, -where the trap' was caprzed and damaged. Luckily, Mr Trevuiz* and the horse got off with little injury. The EdDoatiop Ststem.—A Dunedin telegram states that at a meeting of the Education Board the following resolutions were adopted :—*•(!) That the Board is of opinion that the system of individual panes should be abolished; (2) that the Board is of opinion that the system of standards should be abolished." The first was carried unani mously, and the other by four votes to three. It was decided to send the resolutions to the Minister of Education and to the other Education Boards, asking their co-operation. Telwthonk ChARGBS. —It was stated at a meeting of the Melbourne Chamber of Manufactures that the telephone charges m Victoria were higher than those of the other colonies. The deputy Postmister-General, m reply, quotea the following figures:— Charges m Victoria—£9 for business tele phone, £5 for private telephone, £7 for telephone m the country ; Queensland—£7 5s for all, but the line not to exceed one mile m length ;\South Australia—£lo for business celephone and £6 for private tele phone ; New Zealand—£B for business tele phone and £6 for private telephone ; these rates having general application. Glass For PAViNO.—Broken glass, usually considered one of the most worthless of things, promises to become an article of commerce m some parts of the world. In Switzerland and Francs the manufacture of glass brick for paving purposes has just been taken up on a large scale, and .Geneva already enjoys the distinction of possessing several gluss-paved streets; The new material looks well, and gives a safe footing for horses. Nice also will have a glass I pavement m the near future. The glass i scrap is first heated until soft, whea it ia 1 compressed into bricks. By this treatment the glass loses, its transparency, but its -strength and' power of resistance to shock and fracture are increased.' Glass scrap has hitherto been converted into ornamental lines. The Filipino as a Figuteb.—Major- General T» M» Anderson, of the U.S. Volunteers, when on his way home from' Manilla, m a recent interview, said that the Filipino, as a soidier or fighter, resembled very much the American Indian, though he thought the Indian the braver of the two races. The native Filipinos are persistent, They are not easily disoonraged, and when ' cornered they will fight to the death of the last man before they will surrender. The General added, by way of explanation: "This was shown on the fifth of February, when, my division made its advance to its present position. In one place I remember after a charge of our men a whole compsoy of Filipinos suffered death, fighting to the last m their trenches rather than be cap tured. But, as a rule, they will offer fight only from under cover, mnoh like Indian fighting " Living Poison sr Post.—Living poison by post is a novelty. The New York corres pondent of iba Daily Mail says that Miss Cook, a oornet soloist and ballad singer, while appearing at Rochester (New York) I Theatre, received a box by post* On open ing it a large copperhead snake wriggled ont, curled itself up, and prepared to strike/Her soreamt brought one of the attendants to her Msißt*nce- He killed the reptile. The , police are investigating" the matter. There iis no olue to the sender. It will probably go bard with tbci person, man or woman, if caught. Curiously enough, the Washington correspondent of the CAroniele states that Mr George E. Qterry, secretary of a New York wholesale drug'firm, received'through the past a.small box... When he opened id ont darted a small snake, which was afterwards i pronounced by a .naturalist to be a polsonons I asp, of the same species that Cleopatra Is supposed to have used to kill herself with. Ita bitm is almost instantly fatal. Mr Bterry ' cannot account for anyone wishing to kill him, as he says he has no enemies. Thr Jouan Caubkdab,—The Julian Cal endar, which nas held its place so long m con servative Russia, is to be definitely abolished during the coming century. The first steps towards this important reformation were taken by the Imperial Astronomical Society of St. Petersburg, and their project) for the gradual substitution of the Gregorian for the Julian reckoning is said Jbo have been ap proved by the Cz ir's Government. The pro oess will take nearly half the century, as it is nothing less than an exclusion . from the almanac of all the redundant days of the leap-years from 19Q0 to 1948- The Ministry of Public Roads and gailwayji /fetrongly recommends the ohange on the ground of its importance for the international traffic and trade of the Russian Empire. The reform is meeting with determined opposition from the Church, as all orthodox Russians are named after a" patron, snint, and as they celebrate their " Name's Day" much more religiously than their birthday, it is contended that, if any change were made, many saints and thousands of people would be defrauded of their legitimate rights. ■ A Man Hun* ik Lontdon.—One of the most desperate criminals m London—a notorious housebreaker—has just been cap tured. He was eurpr sed, breaking into .a large house m Bermondaey, but for the moment escaped. The police were, how ever, m hot purs ait, and when brought to bay the man drew a revolver, but police con stable Jones pluckily closed with the ruSUn, and with assistance effected a capture, fjfthe constable risked his lite and we rightly call him a hero, bub how many of us, by in attention' to oar health, needlessly risk our lives every day ! Let us bo wise m time, ancf wit}) the aid of Hollo way's Pills we cm regain our health when we are out of torts.

' Earthquaki.—A shock of earthquake ,vu experienced la Ashburton at 12.30 this 1 morning. The shock was also felt inTimarn. Obituary.—The death is. announced of two very old residents m the Napier district. Mr John Harding, the well-known temper anoe advocate, died afe hi* residence, Mount VoruoD, Waipukurau, yesterday, aged eighty. Mr Thorn is Moesman, within a f<sw months of 100 years of agei died at Hasting* yesterday.— Pi ess Association telegram. j Land fob Settlement. — The Bush Advocate learns that the Government intends to throw opan for settlement as soon as possible 10,000 acres of the Mangator« station The portion to be dealt with is all freehold, and first-class land, and includes that part known as Oporae. There are about 500 acres of standing bush, and the rest is cleared land, ASHBDBTOjr Poultby Society.—A meet ing of the Ashburton Poultry Society took place last evening, when there was a large attendance of members. The business was chiefly formal m connection with the forth coming show. A resolution was passed affirming that a Protest Committee should, be appointed, the mover (Mr H. Cranfield) remarking that eiroumstanees wen obntinu-1 ally occurring (as for instance at the last , Christahutch Show) to show the need of suoh , & body to settle protest* on the spot. It was j also resolved that a pigeon flying. 1 match should be added to the programme, the distance being probably from Christ church to Aihburtbn. About thirty entries were promised. Thb Babbit.—The career of the rabbit m Victoria reads like a romance. A few r»doo)to were imported into the country forty or fifty years ago, and they gradually spread orer the colony until they became a pest, and caused the Government and landowners to expend large sums of money annually m vain efforts to keep them m oheok. Tom of poisoned wheat and other bait were laid for them, and deadly fumes injeoted .into the. burrows, but still they seemed to increase m number, and, landowners were driven m desperation to, enclose their holdings with wire netting at. great expense.. This state of ciftirh, however, is now ohanged, through an export trade.in frozen rabbits having been established, and if it continues to grow at the nine rapid rate as it has dv ing the last four years, the diffi culty will foon be to find a rabbit m a day's ride through <he country. The export trade began m 1894 6, when 89,000 pairs of rabbits were shipped M> London; while during the year just closed not less than 1,210,139 pairs were sent to Kngbnd, being tinned at £90,000. . The proposed Young Men's Club deserves the support of every citizen. And it is hoped that the young men themselves will I appreciate the efforts now being made to ; establish an institution for their own benefit m Ashburton. As the youths of our colony become better educated, ani elevated to a higher moral plane by such helps and associa tions as the proposed Olub will undoubtedly afford them, they will become more respected and better oitzsna. They will no longer be found loitering and wasting their money m questionable ways, and as *' the apparel oft denotes the man" they willbeoome more particular m the choice of their tailors. Messrs Cbaigbbad and Bibrtkan are evidently keeping "up to date" as The Leading Tailors and Outfitters of Ashburton. Their immense stock ot new winter goods comprise the newest styles and materals as now worn at Home, and of course their long established reputation for fib and- workman ship need only be pointed oat to visitors and strangers who may wish to know where to find the best tailors and to get entire " satis faction." Ladies also find their orders for tailor made costumes exwnted by this firm m the latest styles most satisfactory, and at the most reasonable prices. 34 Chamberlain's Colic.

Defeat of the English Team.

United Press Association—By Eieotrio ' Telegraph—Copyright Sydney, Jane 24. There was fine weather for the football match Australia v England. About 27,000 people were present. The following was the Australian team:—. Back, MoEwan (Queensland); three-quarters, White, Bow, Spragg; five-eighths, Evans (Queensland) and Ward; half, Gralton (Queensland); forwards, Carton, Davis, Marks, Ellis, Kelly, Tanner, Carew, Chiton. The last three are Qaeenslanders. The English team was the same as played last Saturday. ;Mr W. Garrard, of Christohuroh (New Zealand)! was the referee. From start to finish the Australian* over matched their opponents, who played m worse form than on the previous Saturday. The visitors were slow m getting the ball from the scrum, a feat m which the Austra lians excelled. Right through the game the local men were on the attack, and the first half saw good defence on the part of the Englishmen, but the latter were very lax m the second spell. The Australians scored the first try off a free kick, which went high and wide of the goal, and Martelli over running the ball, Kelly touched down, but Row failed to register the major point. In the second spell rhe Englishmen, by a fine series of short) passes, oarried the leather olose to their opponents' line, where the ball went out. From the thrown-in Nicholas got possession, and by a brilliant dash secured a try, whioh Martelli failed to con vert. From the kick-off the game was oarried into the visitors' territory, when a smart pus from Ward to White, thence to Spragg, resulted m the latter touohipg down. He took the kick himself and sooted a goa'i Australia 8, Englishmen 3. Within fire minutes Evans scored another try for the local men, and Spragg being Again successful the soore stood—Australia Id points, England 3 points, and this was the position of the game when the whistle sounded no side. Of the local seam, both White and Ward played brilliantly. '
