resulted in their being worried. The sheep
 runs being in general tracts of Crown land,
 merely rented by the farmer for a limited
 term of years for the purpose of rearing
 stock, it was found in many cases not to be
 worth the expense of attempting to cope
 with the mischief. One cure after another
 was tried, such as stopping the burrows with
 cotton-waste saturated in bisulphide of car
 bon, but all were suceessiyely given up as
 useless efforts to meet SO widespread an evil. In many cases it was found that the land could no longer support one-fourth of it's former number of sheep, so the holders were absolutely compelled to throw up their leases and abandon their runs The extent of the ravages could hardly be credited were it not for the cut-and dry statistics of the Rabbit Nuisance committee. I may quote few items from the evidence of many gentlemen owning large sheep-runs in the provinces of Otago and South Canterbury. Many begin by stating how incredulous they were at first that rabbits would even take to the new country sufficiently to afford them sport. All too quickly their eyes were opened. For instance, in South Canterbury, Messrs. Car gill and Anderson killed 5OO,OO0 rabbits by poison year ago, but in the following spring their sheep-run was just as densely peopled by them as though not one had perished- NIT. Kitchen states that he kept nearly hun dred men working as rabbit killers for four months, and succeeded In clearing hl5 land Now they are worse than ever. MT. Rees says that he killed 1SO, 900 last year, and his employer, Mr. R. Campbell, expended e3, 900 in one year in attempting to keep down the pest on his runs of 1S8, 900 acres. Still the plague spreads, and the whole land from
 WaitaE to Foveaux Strait is more or less in- fested with rabbits. Many districts are just a vast warren, on which it is impossible to keep sheep at all Mir. R. Campbell alone has been compelled to abandon 25O, 900 acres. Chiefly in Southland and Wallace counties, and on the North Maira Lake and Green stone Valley several other sheep farmers have also been forced to abandon runs of from 15, 900 to 16. 900 acres. Many estates, though less seriously injured than these, have still suffered so greatly that their value is i'm mensely deteriorated. Eight runs, which formerly brought in rental of e1, 900 per annum, now let for e170. The Burwood run is instanced as one which used to carry 80, GOO sheep, but now barely provides food for 24,O0O. In 1878 the total number of sheep in the colony was upward of 13,OO0,- GOO; in 1879 it was reduced to about II 500,- 900, and this decrease, though now consider ably checked, has continued. The loss on the exports of wool and tallov is estimated at $500, 900 per annum. On the other hand, in 1879 there were exported from New Zes- land upward of 5, ,OOO, ,OO0 rabbit skins-value
 e46, 759-and in the following year upward of 2 OOO OO0 rabbit skins sold for r66 976

him he would take it as an evidence of the peoples desire to have him for Governor, and he would run, but if that convention should not nominate him he would construe it to mean that he was not the peoples choice and he would not run on any ticket nor for any party; if the Democratic convention should not nominate him, his name could not and should not be used at all. Ia short, hs would take none but the regular Democratic nomination. MT.

 The report made by the New York Assem- ply committee concerning the operations of receivers of broken down insurance compan- ies contains some ''plain speaking" The committee say that of the thirteen companies considered only one, the Atlantic Mutual of which Edward Newcomb is receiver, ''has been decently conducted during it's declining years" None of the appointments to the re- ceivership ''can be spoken of with approval"

Especial counseI' and other leeches fattened upon the spoil Most of these appointments and allowances were made by one judge, Westbraok, whom the committee had before them and whose ex- cuse is that ''the counsel before him agreed that the compensation was right and proper.'' But of course counsel to an imperaonal trust have no one to contest their charges and the commit tee say with justice: ''In such proceedings as these the relation of counsel to the re- ceiver, to the State, to the department, or to policy holders is not such that their agree ment to disburse large amounts of the trust fund can be held in any way to relieve the court from making careful examination of the facts upon which such action is asked for. This is doubly true when, as happened in these cases, the counsel were simply consent ing that payments of money might be made to each other and to certain appointees of the justice who signed the orders"

The cause of Prohibition appears to be holding it's own in Kansas. The Fort Scott Monitor sums up the situation thus "At least three-fourths of the Republican voters of the State are prohibitionist, while the Democratic party is hopelessly divided upon the subject, with the organization of the party probably in the hands of the anti pro- hibit1onists. The discussion of the guberna- torial question, which has a near relation to the same subject, has developed the fact that there is no public man in Kansas with either the courage or temerity to take the field as an avowed opponent of prohibition"

London receives more than 40, 900 tons of fish in single year. The whole of it is not consumed in the metropolis, however, the central and southern counties of England, and even some foreign countries, drawing largely from the London stock. During 1881 it is estimated that 44O tons of fish were re- ceived at the London central market for ev- cry working day of the year, and 40 tons of fish are equal to 6 drove of l, 100 oxen. The chief source of supply IS the North sea, from which three-quarters of the annual catch is taken. At recent meeting of the London Arts society, MT. Spencer Wal pole, late inspector of fisheries, agreed with Prof. Huxley that the pre- vailing idea that trawling was destroying the fisheries is 0 dslusion, and that if anything were done to stop trawling it would no longer be question of complaining of the price of fish, but 99 of every 100 people in Great Britain would not be able to taste fish at all, except herring and the like.

An interesting and important decision has just been made by the United States Circuit Court in Tennessee. The revised statutes make it a crime for any person to steal or open for an unlawful purpose a letter ad- dressed to another before it is delivered by the carrier. In the case in question letter had been left by the carrier in the hall of the house instead of being delivered into the hands of the person to whom it was addressed. The defendant took the letter from the hall and was indicted for the offense. His plea in defense was that the letter had been delivered by the carrier, and that the act was not punishable under the United States statute. But the court decided that the delivery of the letter in hall or private box, is not such deliv- cry as puts it out of the custody of the postal authorities, in other words, that the letter, from the time it is received by the postofice to the time it reaches the hand of the person to whom it is addressed, is under the care and protection of the laws of the United States.
