ASHBURTON RETAIL LIST.

The Ashburton Herald AND Borough and County Advertiser (With which is incorporated the “Evening Echo”). SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1879.

The .Marble Clock and tea and coffee service presented last Wednesday to Mr. It. Macfailahe, of the New Zealand Bank, at the farewell dinner given to him by the business men of Ashburton, are now ex hibited in the window of Messrs. On* and Co., East-street. Native Affairs. —From the telegrams received last night from the North we gather that matters remain in “ statu quo,” the Natives holding still the lands they have taken, and threatening to occupy more. Every precaution is being taken to protect settlers, and men are being armed with all speed. 500 volunteers have been enrolled at New Plymouth, and such detachments of the Armed Constabulary as can be spared from the Southern dis tricts are being forwarded at once.

Nelson’s Minerals. —“ There exists in the Aorere Valley good timber, good land, and it is supposed undeveloped mineral treasure, so when the bridge is constructed, and speculators can travel with safety, no doubt exists of the extension of settle ment, and of important mineral dis coveries. As a proof of this, Captain Roe lately went in search of marble— which was supposed to exist on the top of Mount Burnett—and he found pure white marble one thousand feet below where Mr. Marchant found it before. From that gentleman’s report of this stone one would imagine that the place would become a centre of attraction to capitalists. At [a point not far distant from the site of the late Phoenix mine, Mr. Thomas Adams and Mr. John Allen have been at work for the past six months. Their labor has been rewarded by ‘ a find ’ of a very good looking reef, yielding rich specimens, with a fixed course and dip. It is believed that the owners will endeavour to work it on their own resources. The adjoining ground has been applied for. With its healthy situation, its beautiful scenery, and its geological value, Colingwood may yet rise to such a position as nature seems to have intended her for. It is to be hoped that the Government will shortly do j ustice to this and the Takaka district by giving the numerous settlers telegraphic communi cation with the rest of the colony.”— “ Nelson Colonist.”

CHISPA’S LETTER.

:“:I am not yet so bald that you can see my brains.’’—Longfellow.

You may gas away as long as you like about the future—how bright and golden "it is, and - all : that—but, as Longfellow says, we’ve got to do with the “ living present,” and ,in this living present I find a good many who find it difficut at “ present to live ” at all— anyhow, their living is not on the fat of the land. No work to do, and any little savings they’ve got are likely to be little indeed if things go on as they are going now. I speak in this strain because I fancy some injustice to the district has been done by the County Council over that County Hospital job. The contract has gone to Dunedin, I hear, and a reason reaches me that it went there because from the kind of mate rial to be used—or something of that kind Ashburton men couldn’t compete with the men down south. Scarcely the hammer, that, you know. We made a large outcry when our Land Fund was threatened, and we claimed that money raised off land sold in our province by Government should be spent in it, and that the North Island ought not to be made a wealthy tract at our expense. Yet whenever we have a job to give that would have found men work for a time we must fly up to something so sublimely grand that the district can’t fin'd the stuff, and in walks a Dunedin firm and nibbles the job. Just so. Down goes the big contractor to his Dunedin workshop, has all the work for the inside of the Hospital done there, brings up half-a-dozen hands to lay the floors, put on the roof, and do the internal fixing, and our jack-plane men here have to whistle, and enter into competition for the scraps of pick and shovel work agoing with the already too large crowd of laboring men knocking about. We couldn’t build a hospital, not we. Our bricks weren’t flash enough, and we were altogether too second-rate people to be worth even a thought by the high and mighty Councillors and their officials who conceived the mighty;plan. That’s.tljie burden of what idle carpen ters tell me. I hope there is no reason for their growl—.but, the contract has gone to Dunedin, no gainsaying that, and a or job of ours will be done by a stranger. Just at this time we want our “ own fish guts given to our gew-maws.”

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS.

Auckland, Saturday.

There was a strong easterly gale on Thursday night. The railway wharf formed a good breakwater, and no da mage to shipping ensued. In the country districts several trees were blown down, and some boatsheds suffered. The Western Baths were slightly injured, and some earthworks of the sulpher works were washed away. During the storm Smith’s cowshed at the Pah Farm was blown over and four valuable cows killed. Another slice of Marsden’s Point, Waipa, is going, also a large store containing " settlers and goods. Large buildings at Parawi Gardens, Thames, have been blown into the sea and lost. Telegraphic" communication with the North was in terrupted, and steamars wind-bound along the coast.

KING TAWHIAO’S LONDON LOAN

(From the Australasian.)

What an amusing picture of the com petition of business men is afforded by that description of the great Native meeting recently held in New Zealand. It seems that King/Tawhiao wants a loan, and the astute Maori knows the advantage of competition'as well as though he had served a. training on the Stock Exchange. So he caused it to be put abroad that Major Jackson was' negotiating with him on behalf of. the Bank of New Zealand. This was sufficient. Two bank managers be- ; longing to rival institutions started off from Alexandra in the rain to interview' the Maori King. The streams were flooded, but they swam the rivers where ford there was none, in the hope of securing a good stroke of business. So far as we can judge from the too meagre account of. what must-i'.have been a most humorous position, the object of the Maori ..King was served when he had secured ' the attendance aud competition of these gentlemen, who were then informed—as we under stand the report—that the loan would be raised on the London market. Tawhiao —so says the will doubtless now be able to float a loan on as favorable terms as the English Government.” . If so, the wily savage must have managed matters extremely, well, but we do not give implicit cre dence to every item in this rather curious narrative. At any rate, “ Ma kura will be appointed agent for the inscription of stock, and . will imme diately leave for London.” If half of this singular story is true, we may rest satisfied that there will be no war in New Zealand, were the land difficulties ten times as serious as they are. When a New Zealand chief can float loans, play off rival banks one against the other, send an agent to London to look after the inscription of stock, and pos sibly to act as “ ambassador ” to the Colonial Office, who doubts that this is an age of progress or question the triumphs of civilisation ?

“ Dead Broke.” —There have been so many meetings of creditors recently in the Wellington Supreme Court that all the chairs have gone to wreck, and creditors have now to “ sit on their thumbs ” when they come to hear thetaleof a “filed” one in whom they are interested. So says the “Post.”

ANNUAL LICENSING COURT.

. This Court, which had .been „ .ad journed from last Tuesday was. held to day, Commissioners—F. Guinness* John Grigg, and H. T- Winter, Esqs. RENEWALS. Renewals were granted to Messrs. Quill,, Commercial Hotel * Shearman, Somerset; Baldwin, Cehtfal; l M‘Kenzie, 'Ashburton; Power,"'Roy&T; Stott", Tin wald Hotel ; Bryant, Railway -Hotel, Winslow; Partridge, .South Rakaia; M'Namara, Railway Hotel, South Rakaia; Wallace, Chertsey; Wilcocks, Wheatsheaf, Waterton; Hood, Mount Somers; Morgan, Alford Forest; Tisch, Spread Eagle, Ashburton Forks. TRANSFER. A transfer of the license of the Snap Inn, Barrhill, was made from M._ Hagan, to R. Johnstone. . . . •• NEW APPLICATIONS.- {... ._.; . John Francis Butler , applied for a license for a new hotel in South Street, Ashburton. Mr. Loiighnan appeared for applicant, and Mr. Branson ap peared to oppose the license on behalf of the licensed victuallers, who objected to any new licenses being granted in the township. Notice had not been given of the opposition.

Mr. Lotiglinan spoke at' length- to the good character " of the applicant, who had managed hotels with credit for the last twenty years. The license- asked for was simply a renewal;; as Butler, who had. kept the New Inn, , had had the license withdrawn, owing to the in adequacy of the premises, which were old and inconvenient. r Mr." Branson also addressed. the Bench at length. . "Ci.-. T i. The hearing was adjourned to this day fortnight, to allow the applicant to answer objections made to the grant ing. .

Spencer Stephens applied for a li cense for a new house at.Tinwald. Mr. Branson appeared to support the appli cation, and Mr. Ireland to oppose on behalf of certain residents. A memo rial was presented against the granting of the licence signed by residents at Tinwald..

John McNamara also applied fora new house at Tinwald. Mr. E. G. Crisp appeared for • the applicant, and Mr. Ireland opposed for certain resi dents. ...

Both cases were Heard together. Mr. Branson urged the necessity for another house at Tinwald, and stated that Stephens had kept an hotel for some years in New South Wales without any complaint being made against him. There was much traffic up the. Laghmor Road, at the corner of which it was proposed to build the hotel, > j Messrs. Corrigan and Jeffs, residents at Tinwald, gave evidence to the effect that 'another hotel" was much needed. The hotel proposed to be erected was planned on the mode! of the Grosvenor Hotel, Timaru. Mark Scott, licensee of the Tinwald Hotel, said since; he had opened his .house he had only had it full twice— generally there were very, few stoppages at the house. "... • A witness named Shearer stated that no other houses were needed at Tin wald.

Mr. Crisp spoke at length in favor of a license being granted to Mr. McNa mara, who proposed to erect a good hotel about half a mile from Mr. Scott’s hotel, on the South Road. The house would have two sides—one for the better class and the other for the work ing class. After examining the plans, the Bench said they could entertain no applica tion for. a license from one who, like Mr. McNamara, already held one. The application would be refused. The application of Spenser Stephen son was also refused; on the ground that the. evidence had clearly proved that the one house now . licensed was ample to supply all the present require ments of Tinwald. .‘ '

Mr. J, G. Anstee’s application Tor a license for his boarding house, was ad journed for a fortnight, an objection having been lodged by Mr. Branson on behalf of; the < Ashburton Licensed Victuallers. .• -. r r ;

An application by Mr. D. IJoare was refused on the ground; tihat necessary notice had not been given. It was con tended on the part of the applicant that notice was not requisite in cases where the application is merely for the pur pose of obtaining approval of plans of a proposed building. ' . . The Bench held that no applications "could come before them except in the : manner prescribed by the Act, which made 21 days’notice essential. V

Mr. ■ O’Shaughnessy's license granted ori the condition that he erected a suit able building on the Wakanui Road, was cancelled, the house not having been put up. H. Friedlarider asked how long a time he would 1 have to build his house at Hindhope. He was informed that if he applied in six months, arid the police repotted; favorably- on the r build« mg, the license would be granted The police. were iristructed to give notice to Robert Fatton, Methven, that his house rriust be completed by the September ineeting of the bench. The Court then adjourned for a fort night. ,' ■■ V Y

Gathering the Fragments.— A mer chant in Wellington, who has riot “ gone ” was the other day heard to complain of the commercial depression because it ran away with so much of his time in attend ing meetings of creditors. “ Gad, sir,” he remarked, “there are three of us, and to-day each one was engaged with a meet ing of creditors, and if we had another three in the firm there were three more meetings for them to go to.”
