ASHBURTON RETAIL LIST

The Evening Echo. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1878.

We have often heard strangers in Ashbur ton ask, “ Where do your volunteers drill 1 ” The reply, conveying the information that Ashburton as yet does not require a drill ground, is usually accompanied with a broad grin, as if there was something immensely comic in the idea of a Volunteer Corps. Why witlings should see anything funny in young men qualifying themselves for the defence of their country, we do not know, and it is a pity that no corps exists in Ashburton, to absorb the spare time of many who now kill it in idle, listless lounging, or in more questionable ways. When we say no corps exists in Ashburton, we do not mean to overlook or ignore the division of the Yeomanry Cavalry supplied by the township. Doubtless they will form a troop of excellent uhlans when the colony requires their active service, but meanwhile their limited number shows their “ arm of the service ” is not one calculated to gain recruits. There are very few young men prepared to sport the luxury ot a horse and furniture for the purpose alone of being a cavalryman ; and the simple item of expense, while it tends to keep the volunteer cavalry in a certain sense select, is also a very effectual drag on recruiting. But a corps of volunteers may be embodied that do not require horses and saddles, and who may become efficient, well-drilled infantrymen, and excellent shots, and there is nothing whatever to prevent its forma tion. A Rifle Corps, we have no doubt, would be recruited to great strength very soon were the project taken in hand with some energy, for Ashburton has plenty of men who, not prepared to tear themselves to pieces at the violent exercise of cricket, would not be averse to the milder mode of cultivating muscle, afforded by a couple of hours’ drill a-week. The London “ Times ” said of the volun teer movement in England that it was as a “ tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” But even the London “Times ” could not sneer to death a movement that was popular with the people, and to-day Great Britain has a company of volunteers in every village of her island, and these contribute to her defence an available force 0f130,000 trained men. Besides this “ standing army ” of volunteers, there are few Englishmen who have not within the last twenty years come through the volunteer’ yanks, thus attain

ing some degree of proficiency in drill, and a knowledge of musketry, so that in effect the whole population is more or less,a citizenship of soldiers. From the old country New Zealand will sooii receive an armament of heavy guns for the defence of her ports, and those iron-lipped fire-eaters are sure to raise a military enthusiasm wherever they are planted. ' In-country, as we are here, we have no use for Krupps, but is there any reason why a smart com pany of riflemen should not exist in Ashburton, that may possibly at no distant date send to the colonial firing a shot equal to pulling off the championship for this township ? . * No great difficulty attends the formation of a corps, and all that is wanted is two or two or three energetic citizens to take the matter in hand, and we have no doubt they would succeed very soon in getting together a strong body of stalwart young fellows, who would be an honor to the Borough that gave them the' name of the “ Ashburton Rifles. ”

The Bailiff. —Mr. Ireland complained to His Worship in Court this morning#hat, on Wednesday last, ', -the - Bailiff of the Court—acting for the Clerk—had refused to issue a samm ms for his (Mr. 'lreland s) firm, unless the fee were tabled. It had been the custom previously to render to solicitors a weekly account of such fees ; and he desired to complain to His Worship of this conduct regarding the summons. His Worship explained that this course had been found necessary, through par-ties failing to pay their fees, the Clerk having to make good the deficits. Mr. Bransen complained of the Bailiffs remissness in the performance of his duty, having on one occasion an order to deliver a summons, which was not delivered for a fortnight. The Bailiff s duty consisted merely of serv ing summonses, and he had nothing what ever to do with the office of the Clerk of the Court, the duties of which, however, he seemed to assume. Asheurton School Committee. —Last evening, at a meeting. of householders, numbering not' more thair half-a-dozen all told, the old committee were re-elected. Dr. Stewart was Chairman and at its close took occasion to explain matters regarding the appointment of examiners for the Borough school. It had been esti mated that the Rev. W. E. Paige and Mrs. Paige being the only examiners taken from Ashburton a slight had. been cast upon other clergymen in town, and the Dr. wished to say that the selection of examiners had been left with him by the ; Committee ; who had themselves recom mended Mr. and Mrs. Paige, because of their well known ability as examiners. He (the Dr.) fancied that if a stranger or two were secured to take part in the work it might be more satisfactory, and no one he thought would question the ability of the Rev. C. Fraser, wko had consented to come. It may be necessary to ask for further assistance, and if that were so it would be done. No overlook whatever or undervaluing of the merit of resident clergymen had taken place or been intended. Tinwald School Committee.— At the householders’ meeting held last night in Mr. Clark’s grain store, to elect a School Committee for the Tinwald district, the following gentlemen were chosen: —Messrs Bennison, Donaldson, Scott, Escot, W. Smith, Williams, and Lewis.

The Otago Fine Arts Exhibition wiU be held to-morrow, and the pictures. e.c hibitel will be of a very superior class. Local Politics Boiling Over. —At the Dunedin railway station on Wednesday (says an Otago paper) two well-kn >wn citizens in discussing a matter that was brought prominently before the City Council at its .last meeting, came to high words, and eventually to blows. The en counter caused Some little excitement at the time. Panorama of New Zealand.— ln an upper room of the Prfnce33 Theatre, Dunedin, Mr. Wilis, scenic painter i 3 en gaged in the production of a panorama of New Zealand comprising 120 views of the cities and towns in the colony, its lakes, rivers, mountains, and scenery generally. 65 pictures have been finished and 55 have yet to be done. It i 3 calculated that when the undertaking is complete the panorama will occupy a mile and a . quarter of can vas. New Zealand we understand will have the first chance of seeing the “ show,” after which it will be sent Home as an immigration decoy-duck.

Scarcity of Clergymen. —The “ New Zealand Churchman ” says It is to be feared, from recent intelligence, that a suitable man for All Saints,’Dunedin can not be got from Home on the' stipend of £SOO per annum which has been guaran teed by the Vestry. Active and able clergymen are getting scarce at .Home, .or rather, the numerous new churches afford full employment for all, without then coming so far a-field as New Zealand. ” ' Bannerman Turning Professional.— It is stated in an English paper that C. Bannerman the Australian bat, may, per haps, return to England as a professional cricketer, in which case he will play for his county, Kent. This will make the “hop country,” already strong, as for midable as any in England, as there can be no doubt from his performances in the late matches at Home that the crack Australian, with practice against good English bowling, would become one of the best bats, in England. The American Radical.— The “ Pall Mall Gazette ” says of Denis Kearney that he seems to embody all the character istics of the murderous and blasphemous mining population, which has found a painter and chronicler in Bret Harte. “ Water Boots. An American named Fowler paddled aci'oss the English Chan nel, from Boulogue to Folkestone, .with the aid of his “ water boots,” in eleven hours and twenty minutes,

CORRESPONDENCE.

We do not hold ourselves responsible, for the opinions expressed by our correspondents. To the Editor of the Evening Echo. Snt,—The statements- made by Mr. Alfred Saunders at Waterton, as reported in the Echo of 20th Nov., are so unwar rantable that I cannot allow them to pass unnoticed. After stating the rates named by the two Banks in their tenders for the County Account, Mr. Saunders says : “No tradesman would require to look twice at these two tenders to decide that the New Zealand Bank’s was the best, but a suppo sititious case was got up by the friends of the Union Bank, supposing nearly all the money to be placed at a fixed deposit for twelve months, and in that way the worst was made to armear the better tender, and the majority of the Council professed to believe it. By this error the Council at the present moment is losing £2 ss. weekly.” Any tradesman judging the' tenders as affecting his indi idual account misrht possiblv have arrived at the same conclusion as Mr. launders. For anyone requiring an overdraft there could be no doubt that the terms offered by the Bank of New Zealand were the best, but I reply that'-the tenders were not for a trades man’s account, and it was well known that there would be a large balance to the credit of the account for a considerable period. ’ The Finance Committee being agreed on this point, it was necessary to form an estimate of the probable disposi tion of the gountv funds during the term tendered for, and on this p unt also the Committee (Mr. Saunders being one) were unanimous. Having thus agreed upon a basis by which : tp test the tenders, the result when worked’ out showed a balance in favor of the Union Bank, and Mr. Saunders well knows' that had the result of the -test shown five shillings in favor of the other Bank the account would have been given to it.

I will now show how fau .the anticipa tions of the Finance Committee, have been borne out by the operations of the Coun cil. At the date of Mr. Saunders s ;remarks the county funds were placed as under :

This is, I think, a sufficient answer to Mr. Saunders’ statement that the County is losing £2 ss. weekly by having accepted the tender of the Union Bank. It is a noteworthy fact in connection with this account, that up to the time when it was decided to give it to the Union Bank no doubt-had been expressed by anyone as to the perfect right of the Council to receive its full share of the accrued land fund, the Treasurer, Mr. Batkin, having intimated that he was prepared to pay over the money, and asked the Council to name their banker. Now, any tradesman can see that had the Bank of New Zealand been appointed, the money would not have left that Bank but merely have been transferred on its books from Wellington to Ashburton, while the transfer to the Union Bank involved the payment of a large sum in cash ; and it is a singular fact that as soon as this was required the Treasurer at Wellington dis covered certain technical objections to paying the money. Not having been admitted behind the scenes at Wellington I cannot venture to say that it required the acumen of the Bank of New Zealand to open the eyes of the Colonial Treasurer, but the fact is remarkable. It is much to be regretted, that Mr. Saunders should have re-opened this question. The Banks are quite able to look after , their own interests, and the more there are in the colony, established upon a sound basis, the better for the whole community ; but when Mr. Saun ders, for the sake of advocating his favorite bank, in season and out’of season, charges his fellow Councillors with “ professing to believe” (in plain English with “deceit”), it is time to' show how little warrant he he has for doing so.—l am, &c.,

Australian Bowling. —A fact that shows the excellence of the Australian bowling as well as anything, is that only four wides were bowled in the whole English tour, and there were nearly 20,000 balls delivered, too. Spofforth bowled three of them and Allen one. A Royal Swig.—ln Galignani’s Mes senger of 24th May last,'we read that “in their visit to the Paris Universal Exhib ition on Thursday, the 9th instant, their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Crown Prince of Denmark, and suites, including Col. Knollys, &c., stopped before .the case of Messrs Danville and Co., the great distillers of Belfast; and the two Royal Princes were pleased to taste of the celebrated old ‘.V.R.’ Whisky produced by this firm, and pronounced, it excellent.”

TO-DAY’S CABLEGRAMS.

London, December 5.

The immediate return of the Duchess of Edinburgh to England is regarded as a peaceful sign. The Queen’s speech at the opening of Parliament will probably advert to the Affghan difficulty : to the necessity for a revised frontier ; and i idicate that foreign relations are friendly. Thereis no amend ment expected, but the Opposition will move a subsequent resolution disclaiming the responsibility. The Caledonian Bank is liquidating ; other banks are. paying deposits.

TO-DAY’S TELEGRAMS.

, : Auckland, Friday. A new two-storey house, built to order of Captain Elliott, in Pitt street, was totally destroyed by fire this morning. The contractor, Mr. Wright, held a policy in the Colonial Insurance Office for. £4OO ; his contract amounted to £650, and the work was nearly all completed except paperings find painting.* The brigade arrived promptly, and their exertions directed to saving the adjoining two storey houses. The wall of outer was almost destroyed, but the remainder little injured. The fire was arrested by a plentiful supply of water. The cause is supposed to be through a vagrant sleeping in the building.

Wellington, Friday, Judges Johnston and Williams leave for Canterbury on Monday next. At the N.Z; Loan and Mercantile Agency’s first sale of wool, the bidding was languid. Cross-bred greasy wool, of fair quality, fetched from Bd. to B^d. A preliminary enquiry was held into the wreck of the Southminßter. The captain says he is not certain as to thekimount of insurance on the vessel, but values her at £12,000. It is not quite clear from the evidence what was the immediate cause of the wreck (every care .seeming to have been taken), unless through the effeet bf a current setting the ship iii shore during the foggy weather which prevailed. * - «• Nelson, Friday.'''■ Mr. Hursthouse addressed his Motuck constituents on Wednesday night. He said he was a strong opponent of the present Ministry, and critirised unfavorably all their leading measures of last session. He received a unanimous vote of confidence.

TO-DAY'S R.M. COURT.

Before A. LeGrand Campbell, Esq., R.M.

James Skillin, who admitted ".being drunk in charge of a horse yesterday, was fined £l. His Worship said this offence was more frequent than it ought; to be, and was a heinous one, for which an offender was liable to a fine of £5 or 14 days’ imprisonment. ~ ). Rosanna Hill, who has several times been before his Worship for drunkenness, again pled guilty. She was 60 years, of age, and had . only left gaol on the 4th Nov., after a month’s imprisonment. His' Worship gave the old -woman a severe reprimand, and let her' off with a fine of £1 or the alternative of 48 hours. ' ' • CIVIL CASES. M‘Rae v. Heskett. —Claim, £2 10s. for meat. Judgment for plaintiff for amount. Moses v. Kitchener.—For plaintiff, Mr. Branson ; for defendant, • Mr. Ireland. This was an action for. £IOO damages, alleged to have been inflicted upon plain tiff by defendant. The plaintiff had, at auction, bought the horse “Sir. William . Wallace” on the. faith of the animal being an entire. Defendant had sent the animal to auction as such. “ Sir William,” plaintiff alleged, was only a “ rig,” and a knowledge of. this getting abroad among the farmers had ruined his season’s busi ness and caused him loss. Evidence was given by Mr. Bullock, proving the sale to plaintiff ; and Mr. Calvert, veterinary surgeon, was called to give a scientific opinion as to the horse’s incomplete con dition. Mr/ Calvert was sure the horse was not an entire. A large amount of technical evidence was given on both sides, but his Worship found that the horse was not proved to be other than an entire, and the plaintiff was nonsuited.

More „ Light. —The account of Mr: Edison’s invention of an electric light well suited to street illumination and cheaper than gas ; has naturally caused no little alarm among holders of shares in the gas companies (says an Home paper). Mr." Edison’s wonderful invention of., the phonograph put him out of the'list of mere theoretic experimentalists, and it is quite possible that he has succeeded in dividing the electric flame to a far greater extent than -has yet been effected. What effect this may eventually have upon the gas companies, we do not presume to say- Frequently inventions of this kind prove advantageous to powerful associations with large capital and means of distribution at hand, even though they entail the super cession of a large portion of the present expensive plant. But the momentary alarm is none'the less reasonable, and we fancy few Londoners who are not them selves shareholders will feel much com passion for the companies. They have traded upon our necessities for years, and have given us the lowest value possible for our money while poisoning the air with fume3.arising from the imperfectly purified gas they purvey. There is not a city in England or in Europe supplied with such bad gas as London. The foreign capitals supplied by English companies are infinitely better off. It is to Be hoped, therefore, that Mr. Edison’sinventionwill at least frighten these almost uncontrolled monopolists into more liberal dealings irith their customers.

Harvest in Scotland.— ln the Carse of Gowrie, Stratheam, and other early districts of .Perthshire, reaping was pretty general at the end of August. The har vest was three weeks earlier than last year.
