The Toron arrives this morning with a southern mail. The bu-h fires still continue. Yesterday tliere were several burns in the Aral Valley. A new serial story, “The Manor Mystery,” by Fergus Hume, is commenced in to-morrow’s supplement. Hay fever is very common in Gishorne just now. This is a very annoying complaint and very little can be done for it. The best thing to do is to remain within doors and keep quiet for a few days and to partake of a light diet. ' ■; Yesterday was observed as a holiday by the business people, and the town bore a very deserted appearance. A very large number of people went out picnicking in various directions, and for picnics the day was ideal. Postal and telegraphic traffic was very .slack. A short sitting of the Court was he’d at the Police Station yesterday morning. A man named Janies Mullins who was arrested on warrant for having failed to obey an order of the Court, was remanded to appear ac Auckland on the Gth inat. A nasty accident occurred at Mangapapa on Wednesday night, when a horse ridden by Mr. Hay fell, and rolled upon him. Mr. .Hay was brought to town for medical assistance. when it was found that he had sustained a fractured dislocation of the ankle. This was attended to, and the patient is making satisfactory progress.

The latest in town is Morse’s Ice Shampoo. Will relieve a headache immediately, also invigorating. Customers can rely on this • Shampoo bein & a luxury right off the ice. Try

It is announced that tho “AVairoa Guardian” has been sold to tho proprietors of the '‘East Const.Mail.” The proprietors of tho Gisborne Times announce having secured tho sole Tights of publication in this district for Fergus Hume’s latest story, ‘‘The Manor Mystery.” Mr. Hume lias long been recognised as one of tho great, masters in fiction writing, and his last effort is said to bo in the famous novelist’s best style. Tlie first instalment of what promises to bo a thrilling narrative is to appear in to-morrow’s supplement. Our Tolagn correspondent- writes:— Ono of the most recent institutions of this township is a first-class boardinghouse that lias been erected by Mr. E. Smith, and has boon leased to Mr. Jus. Walker, late of Tupnroa. Mr. anxl Mrs. AValker nianago tho house themselves, and do it so well that tliero is no end of praise from all who make use of it. In tho temporary absonco of an hotel the hoardinghouse, which lias excellent accommodation for 22 guests, has had no ladle of support. Indeed, on Monday night tho number of travellers making a stay hero was so great that even the olii recourse of shake-downs was insufficient to meet all demands. Building operations for the new hotel have not yet commenced.
