To-day we publish a new advertisement from Mr G. W. Shailer, the well known and skilful photographer. Mr Shaikr will be in attendance at the studio of i G. W. F.iwles, Manchester street every Thursday. Since the now famous " stag hunt fiasco" in Wellington, the idea of an elective Governor is nut looked upon as such a piece of rank follj after all. The interpretation of this remark lies in the application of it. The locnl Daper says; —We are glad to know that the recent appearance of ty phoid fevrr in Pnlna'iua was only of o temporary nature, and we are truly thankful that it has left us witliout robbing us of any of our townspeople.

Mr Dixon, of Bunnythorpe, is announced to preach in the Wesleyan Church to-morrow morning. Mr Dixon is a man who keeps in touch with the times, and his sermons give the impression of careful study and practical religion combined. Evangelistic seryicea were held in the Primitive Methodist Church here on Thursday and Friday nights by the Rev. Mr Neilson. Miss Neilson sang several solos each evening, accompanying herself on the harp. The meetings were well attended.

They have erected a handsome dwelling, near the back of which is their horse yard aud circular arables, the best horse breaking establishment on the coast. By a resolution of the House, the Czar of all the Russians, and elsewhere, is to be told that he must cease his persecution of the unfortunate Jews.

Duke of Sutherland should be lying in the Wanaranui roadstead to-mor-row to load up with carcases from the Wanganui Freezing Works. We hope tuere will be no hitch or accident, but we notice that a lot of excursionists are to be allowed to go fooling about if the weather proves at all fine.

It will soon be nice and wicked to be a true patriot in New Zealand, because the more a man drinks, or gambles at horseracing, the greater will be the revenue of the country, and the more a man adds to that the better citizen is he. Q, E.D. That he may be ruined in the process goes for nothing iv this levelling age. Our Apiti correspondent writes : — There are some Ma.-ris laying claim to the land between this settlement and tho Wanganui Harbour- Board land, have come to take possession of it, they have brought their families with them as if they meant to stay. I expect the pigs aud pigeons will suffer, as they are out shooting every day. The Jews in Pans have a grpfit number of charitable institutions, including a few asylums and refuges, which are set apart solely for the people of the Hebrew persuasion, a hospital with nearly 300 beds, 40 mutual relief societies, of which 30 are for men and 10 for women, and numerous associations for the burial of the poor.

At the last season when these two clubs teams met in Wanganui, the local team were only defeated after a hard tussle by 1 point, tbe game to be played at Peilding at the end of next week, should again prove a very even and interesting contest, and we hope that the Wanganui boys will this time turn the tables against their opponents. —Herald. mat^ mmm^ mammmmm
