An important point, of especial in terest to membfirs of friendly aocieties, was argued before the Chief Justice today. Tbe case was that of William Gaborne, of Longharn, against George Wilson, doctor of medicine, of Palmer ifeou North, an appeal from tho Magis trate's judgment, Osborn* was a member of th© Ooarfc Manawato, A.O.F, and bin child was being at tended by Dr Mclntyre, on« of tlie Lodge Burgeons. The latter, however, broke bia leg, and aeked Dr Wilson, the other surgeon to the Lodge, to attend the patient, He did so, and ordered the child's removal fro the hoapitftl. Later on he sued Osborne for £28 18a 6d fees, The Stipendiary Magistrate gave judgment for £13 It was against this decision that tbe appeal 'was now brought. Coun sel for the appellant intimated daring tho hearing of tho caso today that though the parties were primarily OBborne and Wilson, ho appeared on behalf of the Ancient Order of Foresters, as the matter was of great importance to the Society. He contended that imdei tbe agreement entered ,nto the surgeon had to attend families of til members of the Lodge for payment* .greeiupon, and was not_ allowed (o make a private or Bpecial chirge Farther, that when Dr Mclntyre was disabled the Lodge members undorhis charge were entitled to claim the services of tho other Lodge Burgeon, and that the matter was. dispute dekermmable by • speoMtribnoal under the Actor agreement, 80 that the Magistrate had not jurisdiction; The appeal stands adjoujraeclii

Utilising Sawdust.

A large gathering took place at one of the ohief sawmills la Greymoath on Friday to witnese the trial of a new patent for utilising eawdtist! and shavlnga for driving machinery in conoectlon with the mills, Thoaawdasband shavlnga are brought from the saw pic and planing benches by means of an endless chain band, revolving S an enoloaoro. which faoista the came to the fGunaca feeder on the top story, the bars of the furnace being tf an ang eof 45 dearees. The sawdast, eto, tollomt down the flat bars, and aa it leaves k oanß6B intense heat, which passes over the bridge, and under an arch. Into the com bußttoi chamber under the boiler, from where the gases paw through tubes and ap the chimney, which is 60f i h gh. Perfect combostion is obtained by this Bysuem, which will bum wet sawdast, or any rubbish. ,_. 7 %b a banquet subsequently, Mr Jay intimated that In January and February of thtoyea* he had exported 2.?80,C00tt of «,vn timber, aad that trade was rapidly increaaing. Ten years ago the total export waa less than 500,000; last year the total for the coast was over 17,000.000 ft, and this year lb would be ovep 20,000,000ffc, and the supply is practically inexhaaatible. At present 300 men are employed at the timber miUs, and four additional mills are in courae ot erection.

A Pathetic Parting.

A writer recently described the light hearted memoes in which modern people say ooocl bye at Wharf or etation, He tella how people net out oa a long pilgrimage with the arospeot of never seeing their frienda again, and they say farewell aa tf it were a ]->ily affair after all, There are still partings at. which anguish keeps the tocgue silent and tha cheek wefc. But there are partings Which ahould be merry, parting which we Bhould celebrate like a wedding. Io ie a pleaiura to chronicle such paruogß, and consequently, we make public the parting of Mrs 8 Aa«t, wbo resides in Hornsby Street, Mtldon, Victoria, she said a loog good bye to hoftdaobf S and nervousness.
