FAREWELL SOIREE TO THE REV. JOSEPH LONG.

A LARGELY-ATTENDED 3oiree was heldlart * evening in the A'exandra-street Methodist M Chnrch, for the purpose of bidding adien toiS the Rev. Joseph hong, whose three yearg as minister of the church had expired, and "^ who is removing to another sphere of daty at New Plymouth. The tea-tables were ' numerously attended, and the fsllowine ' waited upon friends and visitorsi:—MesPl dames Mewburn, Nichols, Holmes Rjf.isl ton, Lenuard, and Frith, and kiuer-i! Thornton, Thwaites, Wood, and Tajlor'l The Key. Mr Long presided at the church^ meeting, supported by Hera. Thomali Bnddle and T. Hamer. The meeliniii was opened with prayer and the 17l8tH hymn (Sankey). The chairman made j4 few preliminary remarks, and considered^ that the present meeting need not be one of ■<! sadness; he had fulfilled his three yean' M term, and there was no reaison why hall should remain any longer in Auckland • hell disliked ah ami, and was not ashamed to'say. •■■ that he was a thorough Methodist; analf was one at heaii with all ministers who-.ij preached Christ snd Him crucified, Mr/H Long, having briefly reviewed the progress ot the church during his term, paid a high compliment to the labours of his old f rienda who now supported him. He then called upon Mr D, Goldie, the circuit steward, to read a prepared report of their labours under Mr Long's ministry. Tne report^ which was elaborate and completely drawn up, shewed that during the three years o£ Mr Long's ministry they had raised and spent for all purposes, £1,848 16s Id, a§ follows : Circuit and trnst purposes, Alex. anira-street, £919 12s 8d; alterations tail parsonage, etc,, £129 16s Od; school, £421 ::-, 9s lOd. Newton, rent of hall, etc., £308 11b sd. itaised for interest, and part prin« ~,..# cipal, new cottage, ea it side of chape), £C 9 '". 6s 2d. Total, £1,848 16s Id, or, upon aali average, £11 10s per week. After tfio • singing of a hymn, Mr WatkinßOn,Superut«ti tendent ol the Sunday school, came forward, and in a speech of considerable length, 1 presented a handsome shield of portraits to I Miss Long, the gift of the young ladies ofw her Bible Cla°s. The shield contained "i nineteen portraits, Miss Long in the centre, i and was neatly framed. A number of ex. ■ cellent speeches were subsequently delivered by hevs. A. Carrick, T. Hamer, J. Robert" I son, It. F. Macnicol, J. Guy, T. Buddie, I and K. Shalders. The speeches were generally in the same tone, expressive of regret and good wishes. Weregret that wa are unable to give a few of the sentiments for w:mt of space. Mr Thomas Spurgeon said he felt "Mondaynightiih"—(laughter)—and instead of a speech he would give them an, original rhyme, " The Long and Short of it," the reading of which produced a long % fit of laughter. Mr Spurgeon was desired 9 to baad the " copy of verses." to the STAR reporter, but would take time to' think about it. Theburden'of Mr Spnrgeon'a tong g was "long and short," be'ng a plßvupon the words:— , - - ,• j- The Long ana Short of it, is this, We meet to part, alas, . ■ ; And what I say in few, short words, ~, "m Ere " long " will come to pass. Tis sad to breath the word," Adieu,"

The burthen of my song: (Turning to the chairman) I „■: I've heard, Birjeople talk of you ' a As dear old Father Long. (Immense cheering.) . | The meeting concluded with votes ol I thanks to the ladies who provided tea,, and I to the choir, nnder Mr Filth, and finally , with the benidiction. :

Bay of Plenty Agricultural Statistics.

The agricultural statistics for the Bay of ■■ Plenty district,compiled to February oTthe)'■s present year, are interesting, as ■howine'^ the steady progress the diatriet is making, ?M Although the Bay of Plenty is undoubtedly: f| going ahead, there is one crop mentioned in. ' the returns that has been gradually decr^aS'.l ing for the last four year*. We refer tol wheat growing, which, from some cause bi9 other, is now almoat abandoned. In 1878^5 there were 312 acres in wheat in tha'a County of Tauringa, the estimated yield being 6,266 bushels, whilst in the returns 1 f« the present year there are.only 39 I acres, with a yield of 691 bushels.^ la-j the Whakatane County there isaßimilai: I falling off. In 1878 there were 1014 acres, I yielding 3,009 bushels; in 1879, 299 acres,-';l yielding 6,697 bushels; and in 1882, only^f 37 acres, yielding 699 bushels. Thera I would seem to ba some truth in what Mt % Snodgrass said at the, Farm era' Club, that | the Tauranga land was "sieit of wheat," and that it could not be growu profitably I for some years to come. The steady pro gress of the district, however, is shown in I the number of acres under cultivation now j as compared to four years ago, and equally ii in the number of additional holdings flow' i ing tha same period. The 1878 returns ;1 give 9,266 acres nnder cultiTatioa^ in the Tauranga County, whilst tlioßa for 1882 give 19 904, or 10,6?8 acrea S placed under cultivation in five yeara,".thii '§ increase for last year beins 231 acres, anti;| lot the previous year 6,837 acres. Tha-I total number of holdings within the County has increased from 135 in 1878 to 246,; th«>i| increase for last year being 42. theSati<3:| kati special settlement shows a steadying! provement. In 1878, when it was only in, I us infancy, thewturns of that place arijTaii Puna were taken together, the wtumtig showing 50 holdings for the two'placei;;il whereas Katikati has now 79 holdings>na« Te Puna 18, the increase for Katikati siuea ' ■■ last year being 6, Te Puna remaining"tha^l same. The number of acies under cuttiva« j tion (including sown grasses) has increised I year by year, and there is now within'tho I ! Katikati special settlement &.819 acres, «i H an increase of 364 acres over hist year.—v<s 11 Bay of Plenty Times."

A neat emigration from Germany to Eng- ''A land nas been going on of late years, ttild it M is estimated that there are 100,000 Germanrif: X*, London alone. Among the lower clas-.M in great towns in England the German i» '-§ the best-hared man of the times. The eSM ceeding thrift in which they have been bred enables Germans to live in comfort, accord- ■:$ ing to their ideas of it, where the EngM:,j| workmen would be in misery. This alsoi I applies to the clerk class, who conic to large I English cities exceptionally well educated,* ;if and are willing to work and work welffor S the very lowest rate of pay.

Speaking of the viiit to the barque Mataura, paid by Mr Coster, the Hon. G. I M*Leau, and others, to see the refrigerating I machinery, the Christehurch "Press" says trjjS " To describe the visit to the meat-room would be simply to state that the visitor I quickly found himself so unbearably cold V that he was glad to be let out of i£fl The Press representatives who were let 'f Into the sanctum sanctorum yesterday, en« I gaged for a short time-a very short time— 9 in a snowball match beneath the frijisen:•*! .forms of Englieh grouse, partridges, and ',l Labrador salmon. The engine forces 1 80,000 cubic feet of icy air per hour into tha I chamber. What the experiences of a : living human being would be to be shut in there can only be imagined. Nobody hag cared to try «o far. In the mean time the. - shsreholders of the enterprising compaay that own the Mataura h»re the pleasure of knowing that 8000 or more carcases of ! mutton can be put on board and delivered in 'like good order and condition' to the) London consumer, a satisfaction and a pleasure which will be shared by the tha porting sheep-farmers thronehout 'ex. colony." ]
