Corowa.\
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Tuesday, April 2.
The Easter holidays passed over very
quietly, as they usually do. On Good
Friday the local bowlers had a busy day.
They played a Wagaratta team in the
morning, and scored an easy victory ; and
in the afternoon they played a return
match against Yarrawonga, and, to the
surprise of everybody, the visitors won.
The scores in the respective matches
were : —

Both teams were entertained at din
ner at the Globe Hotel, and a proposal
that these matches should be played an
nually on Good Friday was agreed to.
On Easter Monday the local bowlers
visited Albury and scored a victory, but
the scores are not available at time of
writing.
The visit of the local hrass band to
Balldale, fixed for last Saturday night,
had to be postponed owing to many of
the members heing unable to leave their
employment.
From a miller's point of view the Blue
Stem variety of wheat is not a profitable
one7*and Mr. Chicken, of the Netherby
mills^ has resolved not to buy any rnore
of it.
Mr. J. H. Oswald, of the local cordial
works, lost a bay mare — a rather valu
able animal — under peculiar circumstan
ces. Some time ago it was observed to
run foul of a stone with one of its hind
feet, and although no injury or cut was
apparent, lockjaw set in. Efforts fail
ing to get the animal's jaws apart after
the lapse of some days, the aid of a
bullet was sought; to put the beast out of
misery early on Good Friday morning.
The Rev. P. Hickey, parish priest, has
gone away South oh- a well-earned holi
day. During his. absence the Rev. Calis
tus Henry will act as his locum tenens.
JThe Mayor (Alderman A. A. Piggin)
has gone away to Sydney to attend a
Municipal Conference, I understand.
His absence will' extend over a few days
only.
It is reported now that, although the
Public Works Department has no objec
tion to the council. allowing plumbers to
make connections with the water mains,
no permission will be given to use water
on any account. I hear that the trouble
over the pumping machinery is likely to
be settled very shortly, and one of the
contractors is expected from Melbourne
to effect some alterations to meet the
wishes of the department.
It was somewhat fortunate for Mr.
Falconer Fraser that there was a supply
of water in the mains
.yesterday, al
though, owing, to the holiday, the num
ber of -firemen present to use.it was small.
Ah adjoining house, the property of Mr.
Goldrick, was, together with its contents,
totally destroyed by fire. At the time
of the outbreak, about 2 p.m., the in
mates 'of r both houses were . away. The
contents of Mr. Eraser's house are repor
ted to have been considerably knocked
'
about.
An accident of a rather serious nature
happened on Easter Monday at tne Rut
herglen. sports to Mr. Roe, who -with some
others were in the .park in a gig. Some
thing startled the horse and it bolted
and finally commenced a violent kicking
match. Mr. Roe was thrown out of the
gig, and the wheel passed over his chest.
The injured mail was brought over on an
ambulance car and admitted to the local
hospital. Another typhoid patient was
also admitted on Saturday from Ruther
glen.
A very successful bazaar — promoted by
the Misses Lizzie Cameron and Rita
Piggin — was held in the grounds of Rose- ?
bank, the residence of Mr. Duncan Ca- 1
meron, on Wednesday evening last, in
aid of the Corowa Hospital. There were
four stalls which were liberally patron
ised by a large number of ladies and
gentlemen. About £20 will be the re
sult for the institution named, a grati
fying one considering that tne whole af- !
fair was arranged by the children.
Rain is urgently required right through
out the district. Reports from several
parts are to the effect that supplies have
given out. In the town a water famine j
rages. I never remember such a dry I
spell for the first three months of a year
as we have just gone through. Matters
will be looking serious if it continues
much longer.
Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Whitty, of Tarra
mia who have been on a trip to England,

(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Fridav. March 20.
Ploughing was started here £ome time
ago, but .the gromid was -so
?
bard that
people had to knock off. We had no rain
here Avorthy of the name durinsr the last
five weeks, in consequence of which grass
ia very dry; and although the weather has
been generally cold, yet the rabbits, in
consequence of the dry grass were forced
to go to tanks for water.
Two men round the Gunbar township
trapped 10,000 rabbits at tanks in a few
months. They got £1 per 1000, and the
pelts besides, so they made fair wages'.
Of course, this process does not get half
the rabbits. Rabbits a mile or so from
a tank never come to water. On one hold
ing of 0000 acres, 5000 rabbits have been
caught at tanks this last month; but away
out . Mosgiel way is where the rabbits aye.;
A party of men were sent out to poison
rabbits ? at tanks on a station about Mos
giel; one man poisoned lff.OOO rabbits in
one week. The lowest catch was for one
man 13,000 a week. Now it sometimes bap
pens that landholders on the south side of
the Lachlan complain that their rabbits
come from oft' the runs on the. north side
of the Lachlan River. Then these people
on the north side take their pens to pub
licly repudiate the assertion of the south
erners; and, when the paper warfare and
rabbit inspectors' reports are over, the
readers of their contributions are befogged
and do not know' who is right and who
wrong. But my authority had no interest
in giving mo wrong information about the
rabbits out Mosgiel way; moreover, he
wns an eye-witness of what he told inc.
Which talk goes- to prove that it was a
wrong policy not to put the people on
both sides
-of the river under the one law
as to rabbit extermination, and the sooner
?such is done the better.1 It is' bad enough
to have the Government breeding rabbits
on the east of us. and not ? .for landholders
on* the north
.
of us to be permitted so
much of their own way-iia to whether they
will destroy rabbits oi''*hot.
It looked like rain at Gunbar a week
ago, but it passed away, and since then
we have been - enjoying lovely summer
weather. Lovely warm days, with the
nights just cold enough to wish- for a bed
quilt over one's blankets.
Stock are doing very well, they have
abundance of old grass, and. I hear of no
real scarcity of water just yet. But. wells
must be brought into requisition if the dry
weather continues .much longer.
The people here do not seem to be much
con cerneel about the scientific prognostica
tion of the comet on Easter Sunday.
The subsidy bush: schools wore forced on
the Statute-book principally by the Labor
party, and it looks, aw if the* Carruthers
Government were playing hide and seek
on ? our member .' in order to make subsidy
schools a dead letter; or is it -that 5,'a.id
Government wants to make their surplus
grow at the expense of .uneducated .child
ren in the bush? It is now five months
since an
application was made for a sub
sidy school at Gunbar, and the only satis
faction the applicants have got so far
is an inquiry by an official as to where
the proposed 'school is* to be, and which
the road leads to it; so I presume ,if- there
is not a road to a place it will be useless
to apply for subsidy ecIiooI for suclr road
less place. The officials answered the ap
plicant curtly that the Department did not
X
supply books to subsidy schools1., sd the
applicant is in a fog as to whether it will
be to the pleasure of the Department if
he (tlte applicant) chooses what books he
likes for liis? and his neighbours' children.
Government officials are never very cai'e- _
ful of the amount of paper they waste
over the very moderate intelligence they
impart on their big sheet of paper. --
Cyanide of potassium -is now being, used
here to poison rabbits at tanks, in place
?
of arsenic. From cyanide they die on the
spot, so one can get their skins just as
easily as if strychnine was the death agent
used*, and it is easily dissolved in cold
water.
