Attracted: no doubt by the ripening holly berries (says the Tanuiaki Herald) a number of native pigetons ■have, taken up their quarters in. town, and may be seen feedling in several gardens in the East End. Mr H. H. Asquitli, speaking in tlie House of Commons, and referring to the proposed' conlereneo iu connection with the House of Lords, said that certain communications had passed between himself and Mr Balfonr, which he. hoped niifjht,. at ait early date, lend to a mooting between flie two parties.—Association. At a meeting of the Maamvatu Rugby TJmio-n last -evening it was decidiwl it-hat the match, Kin Toa v. Feilding, which was played on Saturday, and in connection wjth which a protest was lodged by the Kia Toa club, should bo re-played at the end of tho round. At ia mooting of the Pahiatula Licensing Committee last week it was pointed out that it was not incumbent upon a publican to provide stnMing accommodatiion unless it wa.s made a special condition upon which the license was held. Thecommittee stipulated in the licenses of all the country hotels that- suitable stabling shorn! be- provided for the travelling public.

The Wmirarapa Standaird has been informed by Mr Hennre Parata that the sale of the surplus land at the Wairnriupa. Lake—the portion which lies between the Crown Land, grants and low water mark—has been sok) to the adjoining properties, and that the purchase price, amounting to GoOOO, has been paid over to the Public Trustee on account of the natives. The sum, we understand, will be- invested in land to be purclwised. for the natives interested, at a future diaite.

In .spite o-f tho inclement weather 11 la-rye audience assembled in tho Century Hall, Levin, last evening, to hear nn address, illustralted by lantern views 011 "The Bible Society's operations in South America," by tho Rev. F. 11. Spencer. The Rev. S. G. Comjiton, vicar of Levin, presided, and in a brief introductory address, explained that the Bible Society was the largest of all the societies which were- concerned with the circulation .of copies or portions of the Bible. He mentioned a number of books ready for sale which tho Society issued, and warmly commended the work it is doing. _Mr Spencer, in tho cioiirse oi" his lecture, which was il-.lustr-ated with lantern slides of the Society's operations,"remarked that we were living in nn age of change. Countries like China and Japan , would, in the future occupy a much more prominent position than they occupied even to-dny, and so far as Smith America was concerned, there wfls no country that had such a future before it. Tt contained less waste country, perhaps, than any other continent in the world. Tt was twenty six: times larger than EiiTlnnd. Tts present population was oO.OOO.nnn, hut it was estimated that ft could contain at least one tlioiiismid million souls. Tt was pfipulated to-day chiefly bv the lieoples of southern Enron"— Poriu-Q-ue.«e, Spanish, Greeks, Italians, anf tliero- were m.iny Syrians. Eneli'ilunen, Scotchmen ; >nd inhabiltan-t,'-. of more northern latitudes were in-tiM'-niiii'jlod among the ponulation. Tt was admitted that the infei-ming-lins of nations produced tl'.p most-viL'-nrnns and the most i-obust rn<"r\R. •Mid therefnvc them lav before America vast p^ssiln'lilies The time would mine Klmn RoutlAnieric'i would ip!'lc<' its mark \v the world, .and would Icpoine i oroa' n"it.>d s't.'iiw like ifhr- Fnit-ed St.n+e' 'if t'liif li'ovthern continent.
