The Hampden School Committee have ]K)i)iii]atei:l Mr Dunwm Guy to the vacant .seat on the Education Board. The overland mail will not arrive in town to-night, the coach that convoys it having been "unable to make Woodvilie, owing to ' tho flooded state of tho Manawatu river. It is rumoured that Te Kooti intends to • be a candidate for tho Western Maori electoral districts, at the next general election of members for the House of Representatives. This evening the anniversary of the Free Methodist Church Sunday School will be celebrated in the school-room, Carlylestreet, by a conversazione and " anniversary tree." Hymns will bo .sung at intervals by the scholars, and addresses will be delivered. The heavy rain on Sunday and Monday lias had the eft'ect of Hooding the rivers. The Tutaekuri has overflowed its banks, and the water was up to the Shamrock Hotel verandah this morning, but not so high as to cover the flooring of Tareha's bridge. The Ngaruroro is full, but has kept within its banks. Mr Williams, whose instructions arc to make a flying survey for a railway route to connect Hawke's Bay with Waikato, proceeded to-day to Patoka (Itissington), and as soon as the weather moderates, will coinmenee his work. As the survey will take under favorable circumstances three months to complete, a, worse period of the year for .such work could not have been chosen. Mr S. Gene.se, the business manager for Miss Jennie Lee, requests us to s;iy that the management, as soon as it was ascertained that the company would be unable to give a performance on Saturday, telegraphed to tho charterer of the special train at Hastings to that effect. It was not the management's fault then that so many people- had their journey and spent their money for nothing. And as Mr J.*T. Wood, the charterer of the train, says he did not get, the telegram till the train had started, nobody is to blame, only the people suiter. Some little time ago the Hospital Committee forwarded to the Government vouchers to the amount of over .€BOO. Yesterday a, cheipie for some I'oiSO was received by tho secretary. The secretary, now behiLT paid by the Government, is regarded, we presume, as a Government of - fleer, and the Government probably prefers addressing its communications to him rather than to an independent chairman of the Committee. In the meantime salaries due for the month of March have not been paid. The following deeds under the Native Lands Frauds Prevention Act have been certified to by the Commissioner, Captum Preeee, 11.51.':- Eparaima block, '2-17G acres, lease of undivided interest to J. l>. Ormond. Part of Umutaoroa block, or Manawatu No. 1, 4!)7a acres, lease of undivided interests to Henry Monteith. Part of Tamaki block, 0000 acres, lease to Henry Monteith. Kauhouroa block, 110 acres, conveyance to J. G. Kinross. Eparaima block" No. 0, 2470' acres, lease to J. D. Ormond. Now that the native estates at Pakowhai will be rated under the Crown and Native Lands Eating Act, it is to be presumed that the Clive Road Board will do something towards making the road leading , from Farndon to Waio-hiki passable in winter time. For four miles this road is in a state of nature, and we.think the Board has a good claim izpoii the Government for assistance, considering that the cost of metalling this necessary highway would absorb several years' rates from the native estates through which it passes. A meeting was held in the Town Hall, Waipukurau, on Saturday evening last, by a number of residents interested in horse racing, to endeavor to raise sufficient funds to hofd a race meeting on the Queen's birthday. Dr. Reed occupied the chair. After tiunjo discussion, a preliminary cojymitteo

was formed to canvass the district for subscriptions, and to report at a meeting - on Saturday next. About £27 were promised in the room. Mr 11. Gaisfonl has placed at the disposal of the committee a paddock in which to hold the races. Country residents requiring patent or proprietary medicines, toilet requisites, fancy goods of any description, stationery, «fcc.,Vill best consult their own interests by calling at Professor Moore's establishment, Waipawa, where there is a large and well assorted stock to choose from. On hand Ooutts , acetic acid, the noted cure for rheumatism, neuralgia, and all nervous complaints : an unfailing remedy requiring oui-, ward application only.—[Adyt.] Circulars and pamphlets explanatory of^ , its curative properties have been translated into all languages, and there is no portion of the world were Wolfe's Schnapps is not known and appreciated.—[Ami , .]
