Tho proposal to start n dairy produce and bacon factory at Cambridge has been resuscitated, tho required number of shares (over 2,01)0) having been taken up. Tho work will bo proceeded with without delay.

Hop culture is about to bo established in Wellington. Messrs \V. 11. Levin and If. D. Bell, owners of an ostnto of 500 acres at Lowry Bay, formerly belonging to the Go vernment, have decided to ascertain tho suitability of tho soil for hop growing, .and arrangements havo been entered into with Mr Stafford, son of tho lato Mr Hugh Stafford, an old settler in Kelson, for the establishment of the necessary gardens on a portion of their property. An area of 20 acres will be cultivated in hops.

An adjourned meeting of farmers who propose supplying milk to the extensive dairy factory erected by Mossrslngram and Fox, at Walroa South, was held in the Public Hall at that place, on tho 25th of August. Mr Crawford, the director of tho concern, addressed the mooting at great length, and on the majority of voices of those present it was decided to opon the factory for activo operations on Monday, loth Soptomber next. Tho factory, which is now completed, is 100 feet long by 40 feet in width, and close too the linn havo also erected n large general store, which will be opened on tho same day. A handsomo residence has also been erected for Mr Fox, tho resident partner.

Among tho passengers who arrivod by the Tarawera from Sydney on August 27 was Colonel B. 'Williams, Director of Army Ro tnount Operations for India. Colonel Wil liams .is on a visit to the Australasian Colonies for the purpose of inducing tho colonial horse-breeders to enter into the breeding of horses for the Indian army. Hitherto the trado has almost entirely been on tho hands of tho Victorians, but during tho past year other colonies have also shown a desire to enter into the busi ness. This year 150 horses have been sent from New Zealond nlono, nnd tho shipment proved highly remunerative. On tho nbovo date Colonol Williams visited Sylvia Park in company with the chairman of the Now Zealand Stud Company, nnd ox pressed himself much gratiliod with what he saw, and stated that as a thoroughbred brooding establishment it was far before any thing of the kind ho had seen in the Australian colonies, and ho had visited all of them. Coionel Williams was also greatly pleased with Musket, nnd be thought Antoros and Cap-a-pie were admirably adapted for getting re mount horses. Colonel Williams furthor stated that from the appearance of the horses ho saw in tho streets of Auckland, active draught mates, if crossed with thoroughbred stallions., would produce ani mals exactly suited to the Indian market. He went South tho next day for the purpose of inspecting the Southern studs, and on his return to Melbourne he will publish his report on the studs of the Australasian colonies.

Messrs Murphy and Fedcrii, as ropro senting tho Company which has been formed to found a special settlement of European subtropical farmers near Hokianga, lately returned to this city from a visit to the district. Tho [object was that Mr Murphy,, a most intelligent and experienced agricul turist, should roport upon the suitability of Ibo land.for the purpososcontemplated, prior to its acquisition by the Company. Tho result, wo learn, is all that could be desired, and Mr Murphy will certainly recommend tho purchase of tho land. The area proposed to bo acquired em braces 5,550 acres, and has water frontage to the Orira and Wuibou rivers. Part of it is known as tho Almtoatoa block, which will bo intersected by tho North Island trunk railway when tho line is carried through. Tho land is generally of a gently undulating character, tho soil being a strong clay loam, with alluvial flats. Though unsuitable for ordinary English farming purposes, i£ is just tho tiling that is wanted for tho industries to bo established. The land will require a good deal of working, but its quality is excellent, while its con figuration is such that there will be no diffi culty in giving each settler 30 or 40 acres of the best land to cultivate. Tho settlers aro to have cottages, etc., provided for them ; but tho intention is that they shall not work for tho Company, but acquire tho land and work it for themselves. Swiss, French, and Italian culturists, with their wives and families, will thus, it is expected, bo induced to settle on the hind and carry on a variety of profitablo in dustries. Fish aro plentiful in the waters on which the land i 3 situated. Mr Murphy instances, as showing the wonderful productive power of the northern soil and climate, that he found the following growing in great luxuriance: —Wattle, manilla hemp, Capo goose berries (all these growing wild in the bush), dalo palms, tobacco, peanuts, lemons, oranges, ginger, loquats, figs, olives, mulberries, castor oil plant, tare, and kumara, besides bananas, having secured a splendid bunch of the latter fruit, riponcd in the garden of Mr Webster. The gontleman named also makes splendid wine from grapes grown by himself.

On Sept. 10 a meeting of the promoters of the proposed company to establish a fruit growing settlement at Hokianga was held at Christchurch. Mr Eederli and Mr Murphy reported that they had selected 5,557 acres on the block known as Atuho toa, on the Hokianga River. The pro moters decided to purchase this, and to de spatch Mr Eederli to Wellington interview the Government and request a sum to be placed on the Estimates for the pur pose of bringing out 50 suitable fam Uie3 to settle on the land and cultivate fruits. Splendid samples of bananas oranges, lemons, citrons, "limes, Manilla hemp, maize, and tavo, grown at Hokianga on land similar to that selected, were exhi bited at the meeting.

A man named Thomas Burns,rosidingwith his brother at Bishop's Court, lloslyn, mot with his death through the explosion of a gun about 11 o'clock on August 2S. It appeared that tho deceased left his brother's houso for the purposo of going rabbit-shoot ing with some companions. When about a quarter of a milo from Hume's, Ashburn Hall Asylum, half-way to tho bush, the -inglo-barrellod gun that Burns was curry ing went off, shooting him in tho bend.

PRESENTATIONS.

A i'lkasino ceremony took place on August 20th in St. David's Presbyterian Church, after tho usual weekly prayer mooting, when tho Rev. T. M. Eraser, M.A., was , presented with a gown by the ladies of the congregation. The meeting was unusually largo. Mr Macpherson (elder) made the presentation on behalf of the ladies, and in a neat speech assured Mr Fraser that tho gift was only a token of the lovo, high esteom, and personal rospect which tho congregation hod towards him, and also a recognition of his zealous endea vours to further the cause of religion, and especially the spiritual building-up of bis own church and congregation. He begged him to accept the gift with the best wishes of the congregation, and the hope that tho Lord would spare him to long go in and out amongst them, breaking the Bread of Life. Mr Frasersuitably responded, and in doingso, stated that ho wasaltogether taken by surprise, yet he could not help ad miring thoir useful and costly gift. But he admired and prized the spirit more than tho gift, and although St. David's (in the past) had not been a bed of roses, still the spirit which animated the gift gave him fresh and renewed reason to believe that on tho whole he had the esteom and confidence of the congregation. He again thanked them for their gift, and assured them that their appreciation of his zeal for their spiritual welfare would give him fresh courage for the future.

It is supposed she is insane. Robert McLaehlan, engine-driver, Napier, cut his throat on August 30, but tho wound was not fatal. The neighbours, who wore alarmed by his family, sent for medical assistance, and throe doctors arrived at the scene and sewed the man's throat up.

Ho had been dead, it is conjec tured, for at least fourteen hours. At the inquest yesterday it was elicited that de ceased had about £200 in his possession, and as only £10 could be found, it is a mystery where the other money has gone. The police, from the inquiries they have made, cannot find that he could pos sibly have spent it in drink or debauch ery. A verdict of " Suicide whilst in a state of temporary insanity, induced by excessive drinking," was returned. The coroner said the police would no doubt make further inquiries.

A house of accommodation and store at Maraekakaho, near Napier, were totally destroyed by lire at 2 a.m. on August 25. After the rest of tho household had retired to bed, Mrs Burgess, the proprietor's wife, remained up ironing muslin curtains, which she hung in front of the fire, which was almost out when she went to bed. It is supposed a spark must have set the cur tains alight, as tho fire broke out in that room. 'Bio flamos spread so rapidly.that nothing was saved. Shortly after 3 o'clock on September 4 tho Feather Hotel, Christchurch, occupied by Mr J. Hangman, was destroyed by lire, The origin is unknown. Mr liansmuu was away in Timaru.

Mrs Scaife lived by herself, and had not been seen later than three o'clock, when a visitor left. As her remains were found between tho fireplace and the door of the sitting-room, it is surmised that her dress became ignited by coming in contact with the grate, and that she endeavoured to escape, but failed, and the fire then spread to the building.

The fifth anniversary of the Loyal Pon sonby Lodge, 1.0.0. F., was celebrated last evening by a dinner and ball. The chair was occupied by N.G. \V, C. Bruce, and the vico-chair by V.G. Smith, His Worship tho Mayor being amongst those present. During tho evening Brother Bennett was presented with a handsome present in recognition of the services which he had rendered the lodgo. The hull wns then cleared, and dancing commenced ahd continued till an early hour this morning. Bro. J. Wilkins and Bro. A. Smith made efficient M.C.'s, and the Committee worked energetically throughout. A man named J. H. d Christie, who was on August 26th sent seven years' to prison at Inveroargill for arson Is a regu lar "gaol-bird." In September, 18G3, ho recoived a santenco in Dunedin of four years' penal servitude for rape ; after that ho w.ts convicted of horse-stealings receiving one month. At Christchurch, In 18(j9, three summary convictions were obtained against him'for larceny. At the Supreme Court in Invercar'fiill he received four years' pshsl servitude for larceny; and two years after wards, while in custody, he escaped from gaol, and was sentenced to three years' penal servitude, Two more summary con victions were obtained for larceny in Dun edin in ISSO. The prisoner had for tho last twenty years been little out of gaol. A sad case, which should.serve as a caution to boisterous boys, has just occurred at Inveroargill. Louis Marisko, a boy oi twelve years of age, has died from injuries uillicted by an cider brother in the course of some "larking." Deceased, and a brother Frank, had been calling the elder, Joseph, nicknuinee, and on his pursuing them into a bedroom, Frank picked up a piece of iron, used as a poker, to throw at Joseph. Joseph saw the missile coming and dodged it, with the result that it struck the deceased on the side of the head, fracturing the skull and driving the bones into the brain slibstaildej causing inflammation and death. The boy iVahk is now in custody on the charge of manslaughter. What makes the occurrence sadder is tho fact that, tho father of the boys, an Italian iishermah, has been an inmate of the Lunatic Asylum for many yearS. Dunedin folks are making nltich of the' fact that the Ciietbin'S revenue Collected there last month was £44,687, a3 flgajnst £40,874 in tho same month of ISS3. This increase is explained by the keenness of our Southern friends to do a little commercial gambling. An impression got abroad that the Government intended to increase the duty on sugar id per pound, and on tea 2d." In August last year the revenue from tca'was t'1,950, as against £6,099 for the month just closed. From sugar the rcvenuo was £1,853, as against £5,991. If tiiis increase (which does not represent any improvement in trade) is taken into account it will be found that there is really a Sailing oil' to the extent of £4,006, instead of an increase; and to add to the chagrin of the "canny" folk of Dunedin, there has been no addition made to ihe tea and sugar duties, so that tho little " spec " will prove a serious loss.

In Chambers on August 26 His Honor Mr Justice Gillies delivered judgment upon tho application of Messrs S. Jackson, sen , and D. Hean (executors of the late Mr E. Costley) to be allowed remuneration under Section 20' of the Administration Act, 1879. His Honor ordered that the executors be allowed, on passing their accounts, ono per cent, on the total amount realised Horn mortgages, shares, and sale of real estate, and 5 per cent, on amount of rents, debts, and interest on mortgages collected. In making the order His Honor remarked that tho percentage thus allowed tho ex ecutors would amount to about £1,000, being at tho rate of £500 each. As the original claim of tho oxecutors would have amounted to something like £5,000, the beneficiary bodies will derive much advan tage from the above judgment, while tho allowaneo made to tho executors will be generally considered ample under the cir cumstances.

A Masonic Lodge, under the name of the Lodge Duke of Albany, E.C., was opened on the 2nd September at Helensville. The d-sponsntion for the Lodge was granted by the District Grand Lodge, English Con stitution, Auckland, and V.W. Bro.

A very interesting lecture on Samuel Taylor Coleridge was given on tho evening. of the 4th inst. at St. Luke's Presbyterian Church by Mr John Blackmail. There was a fair attendance of members of tho St. Luke's Mutual Improvement Society and tho congregation. Rev. G. B. Monro occupied tho chair, and briefly introduced the lecturer. Tho proceedings opened with a musical selection by a lady, and a little singing. Mr Blackman commenced bis lecture with a sketch of Coleridge's early days in Devonshire, the friendless ness of his youth, his struggles for know ledge, his singular adventures and vicissi tudes as a student of classic poetry, and as a soldier. Coleridge's poems were reviewed, and extracts rendered from the most beauti ful of bis lyrical compositions ; also an ex position of his remarkable allegory, "The Ancient Mariner."

FIJIAN NEWS.

ATtfEMPTED CANNIBALISM. Ox tho' 2'2'tid of April the new mission station at Kabakada; New Britain, waa the scene of an attempt on the part of the most worthless of the native community to revive cannibalism, and some of the ringleaders wer«J so-called church members. A chief had corrupted them by bribery to capture two unfortunates belonging to a neighbour ing tribe, and they had succeeded and were in the act of clubbing them when the alarm W3B uiven. The Rev. B. Banks, the resident missionary, ran to the place of 'list-itbancej and found to his dismay his Pijiatl Catechlst Kitionl in the centre of an excited tKOtf of demons, pro tecting with his person a jtitith ot sixteen years, who was cut and hacked about, but yet living; the reverend gentleman's arrival with his supporters -the new Church members and a white trader—released Kitioni from his perilous position. One of the unfortunate prisoners had been mur dered, and the rescue party secured the body and buried it within the mission grounds. Kitioni had rushed into the crowd of excited savages with raised spears and clubs, surrounding the poor lad, already terribly wounded, and exclaiming, "No more cannibalism here," protected him with his own person at the risk of in stant death.
