' Mr Shaw, late R.M. and Warden, was elected to the electorate of Inangahua i ice Mr Weston, late District Judge, resigned. , beating Mr Wakefield by 46 votes. It is now said the election is to be contested on the ground of Mr Shaw having committed a [ breach of “The Corrupt Practices Act.” Mr Shaw, however, characterises the rumour as “bunkum." The Ti//taru Herald puts down Mr Shaw’s . victory, oyer Mr Wakefield for inangahua entirely to the influence exerted inhis behalf by Mie Government, '-bile the Dunedin Tab'et says tbo Catholic block decided fit, and was given as a punishment to Mr Wakefield for 14 having, when he was in the House, opposed the Catholics and their friends on the Education question. The Tipperary Company, Maeetown, declared in dividends -for the past year seven shillings per share, equal to £3 10s old share. ' Mr Rutherford, M.FT.R, for Biunp, died I on Wednesday last at his residence, Kaitangata, after a few days ijlness. The Oamaru Mail has it that Mr Robert Stout will probably come forward fur the Bruee seat. He refrained (it says) from contesting the election of Peninsula from pu ely private reasons, ami as those reasons r do not any longer exist, there is nothing, we are informed, to prevent his once more entering public life.—lt is now understood that Mr -stout declines to come forward, «nd that Mr R. Gillies will be a candidate ; also that a requisition to McDonald Reid, solicitor, is in course of signature. The most forcible expression of intoler- ( ance was uttered a short time ago by a Scotch clergyman of the Free Kirk, who, referring to the introduction of an organ ( into a neighbouring Established Chu*h, ; declared that “ soon they would get A f concert every Sabbath in tho old Kirk. The Devil would have his bandmaster ’ there to discourse music to them on the organ, and the captain, like a cursed pirate, , would hoist his false colours to lure souis to i destruction.” 1 The Tapanui Courier informs ns (Tun- , pefo* Timet) that the skeleton found at . Wart Hi!, Moa Flat, is. conjectured to be that of a man named Ronald Stroiiach, isho , was lest in a snowstorm in that locality some years ago. • ■ , ■, At tho last sitting of the Waste Lands B >ard, a memo, from the Under-Seme ary for Grown Lands, was considered as to:'the opening of 5683. acres in. Lander block on perpetual .lease, ami a out 7630 ;qcres for ; sale by auction for cash.—The Board fixed the capital value of the land to be opened for perpetual lease at £2 per aerk The b dance of the land: was recommenced to be • opt ned for agricultural leasing. At the last in;eting-of tho Education Board, Dunedin, it was decided tn it the a recommendation re the sum granted fr the completion of buildings at Clyde, le given efiect to. . ,vt» , A t the Christchurch Police Court Thomas A’ldfi;' ‘twentytone years of ace: Was »en. lenced to two months for vagrancy.

He was mined liy gambling and drinkin.-. We ( Southern Free Press) are informed that Mr Waddell’s (of E st Tiieri) Tnturau P operty cotsjsting of 2,310 acres has -been ntnchased by Mr Alex. Mackay, surveyor, Clyde, at 05s per ace, with a view to cutting up for sale in small farms, or in htb'b e sections for ueighhou big holders to ■'■ cure much wanted additions to their xist ng farms. “ A ugur ’’ in the A ustrnlaslan says : - Mr R. Sevior lias given up On Dit, and she has gone in a norlh-eastei y direction. On Dit, or Factory Uirl, whichever it may be, is a black mare with a white face and white hind feet, anl up-country handjeappers had better he on the look out for her, as she is a good one. Whenever a black mare is entered they should not fail to make soma inquiries about her. Mr Fehlwick, at the close of his address to his constituents on Monday, was questioned as to bis vote on the education question, He said that Mr Pyke's Bill, which he had supported, gavecapicati m allowance to any school maintained by any aggregation of private individuals, the same as that supplied to public schools ; but they ha I to supply their own buildings and ha subject to the examination of „,ie inspector. Ho did not think it was a return to deuominationalisui. He thought it desirable that there should be some competition with the public schools, and was certain that Mr Pyke’s plan would not upset the present education system. He was inclined to give relie fto those who could not avail themselves of tho public schools. Whereupon the meeting, by 29 to 26, declared that they declined to accept this explana- . 4 on of his views on the education qnesti'on. The new proprietor of Moa Fiat estate (Mr D. P. -Koogh) is setting an example to well worthy . of ,|tnitition.
