The Ashburton Herald AND Borough and County Advertiser (With Which is incorporated the “Evening Echo”). WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1879.

The resignation of Mr, Stout is now certain —not only as a Minister, but as : member of Parliament. In him Go vernment lose a great element of strength, a man whose place will not be readily filled, at a time when all the ability that could be drawn upon in the Cabinet was wanted to keep things straight. Pressure of business and other private affairs render it necessary that Mr. Stout should retire into private life.. In his address to his constituents announcing his resignation, he gives a manly reason for the step he has taken, viz., that the business of the session about to open will be too important and the measures to be brought for ward of too great weight to receive

only the divided attention of[the Mein-; bers of the House. This being so, and as Mr. Stout could only give a divided; attention;,.ito them, ; he steps ' aside to: make room for one who .will attend to the business of the country, as the, the representative of her largest: city, with all his time and talent. One .with more time than Mr. Stout may easily be found • but the man with an equal amount of ability does not readily lie to the hand of any constituency-—even the most influential.

The Althouse Windmill. —Messrs. Friedlander Brothers save a large amount of descriptive advertising by the illustra tion given in their space on the first page of. our paper to : day. The illustration speaks for itself.

To - Night’s Concert. The Choir Union’s Concert to-night in the Templar Hall promises to be a good thing, judging from the .programme, which we publish in another 'column. As will be seen, the names of thef performers represent some of the best in the town, and the selections to be given are also of the best. This is the first public, appearance of the Choir Union, in a special • effort, and this fact, as well as the object for which they give the entertainment ought to be an induce ment to public patronage. Drunk. : — His Worship held a Court to day, and fined a man named Burns; 2s. for. being drunk and disorderly, also dis charging with a caution another man, named Everson,-for the same offence.. The Unemployed. —The Borough En gineer has put about a dozen fresh hands to work on the water channels and foot paths round.the block of sections- between Tancred, Burnett, Park,-aiid West Streets, and the men are now busy trimming the footpaths and laying wooden , kerbing. Further work is in course of preparation. The bad weather of last week interfered with work considerably both in town and in the country, but the agreeable change we are now [enjoying has given a fresh start to all: sorts of out-door labor. >JJ

Hawera, Wednesday.

The; Hawera republic -have ;deter 7 mined to allow no stain of Te Whiti’s power to remain within- our border. Yesterday we mustered and re-turned each forrow. It will be rolled to-day, and will soon lose the' marks of the depredators. The fanatics must think the power of their prophet is superseded by the Good Spirit of the pakeha, for they will not be able to point at Living, ; stone’s farm as a monument of Te Whiti’s power. ' The. lawn will .soon recover its beauty. The Hawera men have. shown, great patience and forbearance.. President Livingstone said he would only retain office ten days. -He would not answer for-his followers* patience any longer. There are no further signs of the Maori ploughmen. I don’t think they' will try Hawera soil again. . Government •fnust now follow .up smartly . the action taken by the settlers, and not delay as on former occasions,, as the advantage gained is great; Te Whiti’s spell has received a great shock.

NATIVE AFFAIRS

[by telegraph.]

Tfl; v llawEra, Tuesday. „ r .A Republic'’-, has /.been constituted here, with/'Hr.;Li'ving'stope.\as first Presi dent. .He intends to carry-on a peace policy, quietly preventing the .destruc tion of , the settlers’ property by the deluded natives until the Government are in a position to occupy the Plains and put down the'rebellion. An Ejec tion Committee has been formed : it was chosen by the President, who wisely picked cOol-headcd men. Their duty is to remove ploughmen or any other depredators quietly—the light'horse, under arms, being the covering party, in case of surprise. The Maoris were thus ejected yesterday,' the' light .horse skirmishing, in fine order... The Maoris on Sunday left their drays and ploughs near the Waingongoro bridge; yester day they took them home. It is under stood that they will not come back to day, but they have sent to Te Whiti; for instructions. In the meantime the settlers hope to have'tlie reinforcements which Government are promptly send ing. Major Noakes is in command of. the district.. As all works are. sus pended there are a large number of men who are earning nothing. They should be placed on pay, or they will' have to leave the district to seek employment elsewhere. About thirty settlers by turns patrol, about Livingstone’s house. .Yesterday there was' great" excitement in Hawera/consequent on rumors that, there were hundreds of armed Maoris covering the approach to the Wai ngongoro bridge. Our meri' were- not daunted, but turned out to a man under arms. . ' The .ploughmen were 'taken, with ploughs,' boldly across the bridge, under cover of the light horse. . The remainder, with the Hawera Rifles, under Lieut. Watts and J ohnston, were under arms in the town ready for any emergency.. There is no knowing what the next move of Te Whiti will be. It is doubted very much if he will get the same ploughmen again, and a new crew will probably be told off. They can not be. cooler or more .daring than these were. ' ”’. ’ i. ...", f l Wellington, Tuesday..; The Government received the follow ing telegrams from Hawera to-day : “ Capt. Good arrived from Oeo yester day. He met the ploughing party,' after they had been turned off, who looked very crestfallen. . Indirectly -I learn that .they have sent a messenger to Parihaka for instructions, and will not resume ploughing to-day. They have not put in an appearance on any of the places threatened as yet.- The. majority:: of the Natives on theiPlains appear to be keeping aloof from Te Whiti’s ploughing policy.

CROCODILES AT SENGALORE

The annual Bulan'Pnasa or Ramadan

was being observed, /when our Malays'; fast by day, gorge themselves; at,'nignl:/ and suffer all the horrors of dispepsia until feeding time comes again!. [When the sun sets a gun is: firedwfroni; the., picturesque little fort guarding/’the Klang river and the British Residency. The first meal isover, and again at'-the approach of midnight the faithful were making ready-for another attack on the' good things provided ; when, prepara tory to the repast, one Hadjie Mahomet Yakim, a stalwart Menangkabow man, proceeds to a large log of timber at the landing place, at the end of Gelan Malayn—the Malay street —to perform his ablutions and add to the long li.stpf prayers he has. .so conscientiously recited' during the past day. - A scream of. terror •is ' heard.: from : the landing, place, and the Hadjie’s friends rush out of their houses, alarmed” at what • they , hear. A search is made, but the poor Hadjie . has disappeared, leaving his' tufban, and marks of. struggling in the ■mud -to .show what fate had been his/ A few enquiries soon indicate that one of the numerous crocpdiles/in the riVer had taken the unhappy Hadjie, and the usual standing.. reward of forty cents a foot was offered for the capture of the brute.. Three days, elapse,- when a Paridi-pahang mart, offers to; the super/, intendent of police to “ tankup:it.u boya” (catch the crocodile) if the' Resident will increase the reward:> : ' ; tc) -a dollar; a foot. This was readily agreed : to, and within- twenty-four hours- .th.e ■ Hadjie-" eating - crocodile .-was/hooked ‘literally. A .large iron hook was baited; With;'a large fowl, a very long rattan,.'' some: ninety feet in length,, being fastened to the hook'. The’ bight, of the /rattan -is thrown over the .overhanging” branch of a .tree, and the bait is suspended, on ~the surface of the water. The following morning- the spot is visited, and the! rattan has disappeared. A canoe With our catcher and. two others search the river, and at last, the,floating rattan is discovered. A pull at it soon indicates what- sort of fish has been hooked, and our boatman .-..play ; the crocodile with a long scope, and he is quiet enough to get .ashore ; then 1 they manage to secure him literally.hand and foot, the jaws lashed together, the tail, however,' being ‘ free.' The brute measured thirteen feet in length,! and how the three plucky fellows managed to fasten him, roll him off the hank into their small : dug out canoe, is beyond, my comprehen sion. Of course, when ’ tired out the crocodile' was pretty. quiet,; and they could easily have speared him ;■ blit they' absolutely brought’ him to the boom or public; landing place unhurt.- Here a public reception - was accorded the man-eater, and all the - boys" in the town fairly towed him up the hill to the fort gates, The superintendent received him ;and took him into a small garden —an attention he acknowledged by sweeping half the flower-pots down with one sweep of his tail, and.sending.an unhappy, retriever flying across the com pound. I-was away when the crocodile was brought in, but I arrived at night, to witness a scene Worth sketching. There lay the fastened brute, with heav ing flank, and now and then a sweep of the tail that indicated with-what force, it could be used. One of the officers stepped forward and gave the beast a kick in the side, which he resented with a .stroke ,of his tail that would have certainly put a stop to my friend’s kick ing'for sometime to .cOme, had it taken effect. The fort garden was crowded by the men, and the glare of torches, gleaming of weapons, and angry glances from the poor Hadjie’s friends at the victim before them, formed a scene not easily forgotten. Speculation was rife as to whether , the right "crocodile had been, caught, but all agreed he! looked fat enough to contain a Hadjie during Bulan Pnasa,...,: This was soon set at rest, and I had: -the satisfaction of put ting three-rifle, bullets in the neck ; of , the..-,finite, \yhich 'settled him. On opening him, sure enough there was the’ poor Hadjie’S'head, almost cloven in three parts, S and other remains;— evidences of/a taste for goats/fowls/and other such odds and ends.' ['Another crocodile: frequents the landing place/ and we hope, to get him.—-8.. D..--. ..

Dangerous Experiment.— A fow days ago as a train was nearing the Stoke Rail way Station, on tho Nelson-Foxhill line, a little child of four or five years, was observed by the,engine driver ,lying on the rails, • and he at once blew the whistle, shut off steam, and .put the breaks down. The shrieking whistle' had,'no effect in frightening'the little one, and on the train being pulled up a few yards from the child, she was hastily picked up, and her sole concern appeared to be' that her amusement, listening to the noise made by the approaching ■.. train ,by placing her ear on the rail, had been interfered ‘ with. ‘ A caution to those having charge of chil dren is scarcely further needed.-. -- " ' ~'- Line Inspection.— Mr. Ashcroft, the General. Manager of the Wellington Rail way, has adopted an ingenious plan for ensuring ’that any “shaky” spots on the line should be properly .-.-reported ,by the linemen, whose duty it. is to' jpatroF the permanent way and report anything which requires rectification. The engine drivers are -now provided with a number of arrows, painted red, and throw, out one of these whenever they? borne. to any part of the line which in their opinion requires attention. The linemen are told to pick up these arrows and report the condition of. the spot where they.were fopnd. v For every arrow’that they fail to return to the office' tliey are fined '2s. fid. As may be imagined this tends very materially to increase their vigilance, and ah additional safeguard is thereby offered to the public. —“Post.”

NEWS AND NOTES.

New York papers'fof March 13, de scribe the accident at Gilmore’s Gar dens during the, international walking match. Several thousands were pre sent, when suddenly'the : north gallery fell, precipitating'its'bccupants upon the heads of those on the ground floor. A fearful panic ensued, shrieks and groans, with cries of “ fire,” rose from a great . .mass. ..of struggling humanity. For a time the match was stopped, but soon the track’ : was cleared, and then the wounded, .of. whom a long list is given, were Carried :a#ay. Three were •fatally injured. ‘/ •Beforfe/ the world] is many, weeks older we ,; -shall hear of a divorce suit being instituted in England that will cause no little talk arid scandal in what Anglicised • Frenchmen call “ Leigh Life.” The injured husband is a peer, not yet thirty years of age.; the respon dent is several years younger, and the daughter of a : wealthy commoner of an old family : and the co-respondent is a groom, a young fellow of twenty-one. Every attempt has been made by the lady’s family to hush the matter up, but without success, the husband de claring that he will not remain unable to ’ marry for the ; rest of his days/ The most curious part of the story is that the now disunited couple have not been man and wife more than two years. —Truth ' . A few days ago .Warder Woods, at the Pentridge Stockade, while searching for articles of contraband at a spot where a gang of prisoners were at work during the day, discovered concealed under ground a swag containing 175 figs of tobacco. This article of luxury, so highly prized by prisoners, was made up in separate parcels with the names of the prisoners , for-whom they were in-, tended, but the names, fictitious, were giving information about discharged comrades, .and topics of the day. A careful official examination, says the Cejitml News, of the Zulu muskets "and / trifles Taken- at Ekowe. has been made by Colonel Pearson, who has found them to be chiefly the condemned Government, weapons of Line regiments belonging' to the standing armies of America, England, Germany, France, and r other .civilised/nations. The in spection showed that there'is a regular trade in obsolete rifles, nearly all the condemned weapons being sent out and sold to savage nations. Amongst the few private rnuskets ’ were weapons marked from Manchester,; the United States, Potsdam, Dantzig,/Mutzig, and Telle. The oldest date on any weapon was 1835. . There were no rifles from Birmingham. makers, but -plenty of Tower muskets. / . Z /

Recently one of the dens in White chapel, London, was rooted out by the authorities. ‘ A foreigner, his wife, and two children, were found to be occupy ing a single room which was shared' by twelve fowls that fed on the floor under the: bed. In an adjoining-room there were 126 fowls,, and the previous week •as .many-asvsip. fowls had been kept in the two apartments.
