Miss Peat, who has been relieving! will go on to Rao Un, bo that tbe post mistress there can go on her acnual leave. We learu that there .is not much probability of the Laud Court sitting at Kawhia >u ti| the end of March .or the beginning of April, as the work that is at present being taken is of such a volumnious nature that it cannot ba completed until about the time stated. On |Friday morning, just aa ths Waitangi was leaving ,tbe wharf several blaokfisb sailed up the harbour. A party went out iu Mr Newton’s launch in pursuit, feut were not succesefuL Mr W. Morgan slates that thia is the first occasion that he has seen the fish in the JCawlifa Harbour. A well attended, meeting was held in Mr E. C. Falyrassar’a office on Tuesday night last, (Mr H. Sircombe in the cbair) when it waa decided to tender Mr B. Barron a smoke concert iu Scott’s hail, Kawhia, on Saturday, 2let, at which a presentation is to be made The subscription was fixed at ss, and ail arrangements left on the halide of a committee consisting of Messrs Siroombg, W. Morgan and Pettit with Dr C. Campbell Jenkins as secretary. There appears to be keen competition for sections on the Kinohaku side of the Kawhia Harbour, as during the past week Messrs Smith and Erickson of Taranaki, have purchased Mr <L Seville's section of 868 acres, Mr 1? Wright has bought Mr F Newton’s 100-aove section, w bikt Mr Neilly, of Dargavilte, has bought Mr S. Wright’s 100-acre section. The price appears to be on the increase, and it is predicted that the figure is likely to be raised more in the future. The Ka Bbhocl’ComssUtee haye decided to hold a picnic for the scho lars on Friday, December 20th The oHldrefi will leave by kun oh for Te Maika, immediately after dinner, and will there be entertained with sports of all descriptions, and the refreshments so indispensable ou such occasions, returning before nightfall. The committee desire to extend au invitation to all to:be present, and trust that the occasion will be made memorable by every one attending and doing all that is possible to make the days outing a thorough success,. The word “Ao tea-roa.” which Mr

w.ll thiartsy. ” It appeau that the stateuient to tb< eff«ct that Mr E. Moore, of Mtboenu intended contesting contesting tb< Taumarunui seat aS the forthcoming general election was ptentatnre. In «r interview with the Cbronielo repreran tstiva, Mr Moopesaid he had at prerenl no intention of standing (or Perlis meat. He considered the district well represented by Mr leaning., and un less unexpected events transpired to alter bis present view "ot the situation he would not enter the pniittcal arena. Me Moor, baa just returned from a trip to England via Japan and America and has some interesting views on eon. ditinne prevailing in thosa countries To Kuiti Chronicle. The latest idea is,ip break the tedium of rhe solitary boneymcaa by taking it in iKitnpany with'ether honeymooning couples. Erotb a diiei the Hjoneymoon fa to be I'lrsed lnlo'a oliarbs (observes j the Manchester Oespaiijb) Iu the middle of November then 4l smart wedd. ings are io take place on thro, oouseoutiye days. On the fourth all three couples, who are of course intimate friends, all moving ia tie same set, trefo meet iu Paris, and to travel to. gather to Egypt. From Cairo their purpose is to hire a dsbabesh (bouse boat) to sail up the Nile as far as the second cataract, Maids and vaiate will aooompany the party. The three happy oonplae have imposed but one restriction upon thsir perfect freedom. It is, “no bridge before breakfast/* : A postal pnzzle.
