LOCAL AND GENERAL.

' The question of the pasteurisation of skim milk is to lie considered at tlu' .annual meeting of the shareholders and suppliers of the Levin Cooperative Dairy Company. At tin last a'iMiiial meeting the directors were instructed to collect- information and report on the subject, and Mr James I'rouse bars been making inquiries from the Department. He has also visited Ka.iranga, <an<l is of the opinion that the pasteurisation of milk is an unqualified success. The matter is one of very great importance to the Horowhenua County and New Zealand in general. The story that Mfcs Adelaide Thompson, daughter of Mr TamiIhana. of Oroua Bridge, who recently left for Salt, Lake Ciity with his family, had died ,at Fiji en route, happily turns out to be based on the mutilation of a cablegram. Mi Geo. Howies, head of the Mormon mission in Xew Zealand, has received .a cable word that the party was all well at Fiji. The young man whose dealt!) was recorded from Pahia.tua on Thursday. under the name of Arthui Xieol, was the adopted son oT Air Edward Callinsnn, one of the origrall settlers of TTorowhenua County. Mr Collinson is a well-known resident of Oh.au, where he has been resident for the last twenty years. 'Plie unfortunate youth, who leaver a wife and two young children. w:e 31 years of age. Tiie majority of butter factories in the No nil Maud are stated by the Trade Review to have now made arrangements for the season's output, several, eh icily snnHcr factories, having sold for the- .season at from lOiJd to 1();Jd per lb. (Millers havi arranged to consign under advance at l(l',d to 1 (>JII. guaranteed wit limit n emir-'.'; others, again, hnvt decided to ship on open consignment:. .Most of the. larger factories have adopted on; of the last two courses. At I'alni-I'ston Xorth. on Thursday last (the Standard reports) a meet inn of the Hereford Breeders' Association was held. It was resolved fjii donate C2O towards tin expen-es of procuring an .approved judge from Australia to judge Herefords .at the next Palmerston Sprinc • Show: al-o to donate a handsomi piece of silver plate for competitLoaf the same show for the be tf t two-veir-o'd Hereford bullock. It wa. 1 furtloT devilled to offer a first pri'/.: of (.'•'! and .a second of C 2 fi:r tin best pen of three three-year-oh. crossbred bullocks at the next Oiborno Show. The conceit and social at tin Oh a u Institute on Thursday evening in aid of the building fund w.:o an unqualified success, and flier; w,as a fair at,tendance. Mr liamsbotbam .acted as M.C. Songs wen given and dancing was indulged in. An excellent supper was provided by the committee of management, who arranged the entire proceedings, and the (diairm.au of the committee. Mr -I. McLeavey. returned thank;to all those who had assisted in Hit function. The Institute, Mr McLeavey. pointed out. was the only place of amusement in Oban, and with its excellent piano and line library it ought to be a most papulai inst it ution. ('.specially considering it he entrance fee was only o.s a year. There was ail exceptionally "'oik; iitl undance bast evening at tin Levin Y.M.C.A. (junior department,.and the proceedings were most en.joy;d*le. Capital readings Men given by 0. Walton and C_. Hook, while W. Walker gave an interest iug reeitation, all t-hree items heiop buidly appl.nided. Mr T. (J. Yincen 1 : kindly entertained the gathering with an address on "Life's .Ton.ney." which was vividly illustra.* "d with local views. He was cordially thanked al the (dose. The Dominion No-license Convention, which has been sitting in Welling,fan tlrs week, arrived at an important decision last, evening. After two and a half days debate or. the proposal of reviving the arrangement regarding licensing legislation made with the Govern men t ill .November last. ,an amendment condemning the eoinbiiri.iion of tin issues of no-license and Dominion prohibition was rejected by 7!i vote/ to (>().

Various .accounts of the cause oi v"3terda,v's railway accident at ivoputaroa are current, but some arc obvious exaggerations, and it would be well for people to reserve their judgment until ithe official enquin concludes. One example of cleai exaTtreration is the .statement nrinted this, moimiug that the driver of the exnress when "some fifty vflrds' ? "-way from the points, "saw illat tli -y w not sot and promptly amnli-'ri bis brakes." The idea of Westing b .uisf brakes failing to stop a trail in fifty yards is .absurd.

A special m eeting of it ho Levin Horough Council, to consider the J'j.Sitimiates for 1910-1 !)1.1, is convened for Mondiay evening of wxt week. Queen Alexandra's now ling lia.s been, hoisted at .Buckingham i'alace. It. is a combination of ttlio Dritish .and Danish Staiwkrd with tiio large white cross prominent. Various matters concei'ning the flax .industry were mentioned to the Hon. T. M Mackenzie, at Palmei'sto-n North yesterday, by n (lepntation. The advisa.blene.ss of giving bonuses for improved mot hods of treatment was dwelt upon, as well as various subsidiary m,atter.s. In tlie course, of .a lengthy reply the Minister said that the Department officers had spent same time in en<|iiiriiiig imto (lie request for fiiver points in grading. and came to the conclusion that the pre-er.t system was ji proper one. but ;he would ask them to ag.ain look into the matter. In regard to -a uniform size in bales, that; was a matter entirely to do with the millers themselves. The suggestion of the appointment of asupervisor had been .adoptd. Mr Mackenzie expressed himself as favourably disposed towards the granting ei higher homisr.s than »!md been offered previously. In a recent issue- of the West Australian Church paper, the editor drew attention to weddings, ially weddings, which, h-' state.-, are the occasion ta-o often of the worst, and most irreverent behavio'ir 1 hat is ever seen in tin Perth Cathedral, and thinks there would be a great danger of this irreverence being intensified by "'evening dress" weddings in that cathedral. . .In Sydney, eveningdress weddings are heenming very usual, and do not appear to have aroused any levity. The clergy, hc-wever. in most churches insist upo rthe women pari ion of those present wearing (at ,anv rate) some apology for a hat. The headgear U; remarkable for its smallness. >anr tha male portion of th" assembled are em-blcd ■ for nn.-e in iheir 'ives to see mora than the seat direcih. in front of them. To the unmarried man ti'iis might, perhaps, prove an advantage, though, to the married, if would of course prove a matter of indifference. Mr A. 11.
