The Now Plymouth bowlers defeated the Aucklandors. Yestorday morning's earthquake was felt at Hawed between 3 and 4 o'clock. The Hon.

A man named James Adams has been killed on the Otago Central Railway works, by falling over a ctiff. Good news for New Zealand poisoners, eh ! Wonder if Endeavour Inlet is any where near Tiinaru 1 The Sunny South Juvenile Minstrels give an entertainment at Whan Lunatic Asylum on Friday evening next.

No doubt a big audience will greet the performance. The hearing of the claim for compensation for the loss of the ship Lyttelton was con tinued at Wellington yesterday; It is now believed the case will last all the week, and it is understood, whatever the result of the present trial, appeal will be made, and the case possibly taken after that to the Privy Council. Sheep shearing by machinery has been proved a euccoes at Melbourne. The Com mittee of experts who have been appointed to report on the working of Wolseley's sheep shearing machine state that the quality of the work done is all that could be desired, and the speed of the machine is about equal to that of a fair average shearer. Te Whiti has consented to the Paiihaka natives abandoning Communism and begin ning cultivation for separate families. Pre parations are boing made for the extensive planting of crops, and it is expected that the natives will again be large producers as in former years. Tho Oamaru "Mail" says:—"We be lieve Oamaru can boast at the present time about as good an assortment of drunkards as any town in New Zealand." Good idea— Have a competition of " drunks" in the style of the lazy competition in the "Globe " Readers. . Mr E. Arophlett, paymaster in charge at the Royal Naval Depot, will shortly be suo- C3eded by Staff Paymaster Carter, who is on his way to Sydney in the P. and 6. Com pany's R MjS, Valetta.. Mr Amphlett was in ,N i_£ Zealand for four months in 1878. • ' >

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

TnE Codlinmoth pest is g catiy exorcising the minds of fruit-growers throughout the colony. The plague has been unprece. dently serious during the past season, arid* orcbardists are fully aroused to the neces sity for some repressive measures. A petition praying the Government to ' stop the importation of apples and pears from Australia was recently signed in Southland in a few days. Signatures were obtained representing « 2,447 fruitgrowers, and this, without can vassing, the owners calling where the peti tion lay. Infected fruit is sti|l seized by the Custom authorities at the Bluff.' The post, however, has long passed the stage when exclusion of foreign fruit would check its ravages. Wo. are indeed now in a position to compete with the world for the supply of the article locally, reared, and with boring powers warranted against all competitors Still, it is worse than useless to impose upon New Zealand fruit-growers restrictions with regard to the destruction of' this destroyer, while infected apples are admitted without restriction. Some thing must be done by Parliament, to abato tho evil during the en suing session, and the.-UOet important measure is to prohibit the sale of infected fruit, empowering local in speotors to seize and destroy any fruit of this description discovered inshopS. Fruit-growers thus prohibited from selling their produce would, in self-protection, adopt more vigorous measures to put down" the plague.

We learn from Wellington that the Representation Bill will be brought before the House for second reading the first week in May, in which case there will ,bo about two months . to. parr . it through. It is also reported that in the course of a week or two the public' will be furnished with copies of tho bill. We trust that the prompt introduction of this measure will be backed by the in fluence of a united Cabinet. If so, and tho Government are really in earnest about the matter, no great difficulty should be experienced in getting the.bill through be fore the .expiration of the present parlia ment, altht ugh the work of mapping ! out the new electorates, to give | equal representation, will involve some delay, and probably necessitate an extension of the duration of parliament for a month I or two in order that the readjustmant ot ! boundaries may obtain legislative sanction.

AUCKLAND RUGBY UNION.

IJIEY KIRKPATEIOK'S NEW SEASON'S JAM. SPECIAL NOTICE. Kirkpatrick's New Season's Jam is made from Nelson-grown fruit, and ia boiled within a few hours after the fruit has been gathered. It thus retains most of the natural flavour of the fresh fruit. Kirkpatrick's New Season's Jam is the most delicious preserve in the market. Do not bo persuaded to buy cheap and inferior brands of jam, the remains of old stock which must be sold at any price, but ask for Kirkpatmok'x New Season's Jam, and see that you get it. The best is always the Cheapest. Kirkpatrick's New Season's Jam is the best. CAUTION. None is genuine unless our name is itamped on each tin and has our registered 'rade mark, " Lord Nelson," on the label. S.
