The flames ran through the grass with great rapidity in the direction of the sawmill, where Messrs Bartholomew had their fire engine hose at work to prevent any accident. Four or five men were also employed to keep the fire from doing any damage. A bridge on the Awahuri road, a little way past Mr Luke Ward's place, is in a very dangerous condition. Not only is rhe deck completely worn through, three or four of the planks being broken, but one of the stringers is also rotted and "gone." Unless this is looked to at once we expect to hear of another accident, and the Manawatu Boad Board again let in for damages.

""""""" -"•^r:-.;::;: We are informed by the Manawatji" Times that the insurance tariff has again been raised on Palmer a ton Square properties. The new rates range from £2 ss, to £5 108 per £100.

Mr Donovan, the winner of the recent sword contest, in which he defeated Captain Jennings, has received a letter from Sergeant J, C. Meats, Inte of the 2nd Dragoon Guards, challenging him to a mounted sword contest for £100 a-s'de and the championship of the world, the fight to take place in Sydney or Mcl bourne.
