The Ray James MoWillam will officiate at All Saints Church on Sunday evening next. The Education Board, with the desire to assist the development of the children committed to their charge, have arranged a series of athletio exercises for boys and girls. After an hour or two sitting over a desk, it must be particularly healthy to go through the forms of arm extension, calculated to expand the chest, and is generally liked by the majority of the children. But as in all cases there are some who are too idle to do anything but live, bo there are children who will invent any excuse to get out of this course of school instruction. They belong to the same family as the fat boy in Piokwiek did, they would like to be allowed always to sleep, and if they have to Bwing their arms about and clap their hands, how can they obtain the nap they so much enjoy ? At the committee meeting the other night, one or two characteristic letters on this subject were produced by the master, one parent wrote, "do not let my daughter be put to exercises, as it makes her fingers crack." This sounded very dreadful, but the master was unable to explain why this young person's fingers should craok, nor was he aware that they were oraoked. It is much to be flared the young person was not bo muoh damaged in this manner, as her parents must be, to object to an exercise, the character of which they failed to trouble themselves to find out, and whioh which was designed especially for their child's health. Tomorrow night, at the Public Hall, there will be held a wrestling matoh, between two good men, James Dunn and Ronald Kirkwood. They met a few weeks ago to have a friendly try together, and when they left off, neither had the advantage, so it was decided to arrange a match, in which various styles should be used, to decide which is the best man. The whole is a genuine thing, it being no " door money " catch, and visitors may rely on a very interesting exhibition of tact and strength. The match comes off at eight o'clock, and we should recommend an early attendance, as there is bound to be a large gathering. There is a rumour, and we believe it also to be a fact, that some people have taken advantage of the ranger being ill, to turn their stock to graze on the roads. It is always wrong to break the law, but when it is done whilst there stands a chance of being caught, permits the transgressor to plead a sort of pluok, but it is a poor game to play with a man laid up in bed. It may interest these persous to know that Mr Guerin is better, so much so, as to be able to move about town, therefore their stock would be safer kept in their proper places. We remind oar readers that tenders close on Monday next for worka under the Wirokino Road Board, and tor the draining advertised by Mr M'Lennan. News of a horrible murder near Oisborne on the Mahia Peninsula is to hand. A man named Robert Gollan is said to have been murdered by a half-caste named M'Quarrie. Gollan's remains were found amongst the ruins of his ware, which had been destroyed, at Table Cape. On the night of the murder M'Qoarrie left his home and hiß young brother-in-law, being frightened of being left at home in the dark followed a short distance behind. M'Quarrie was heard to fire three shots. The appearance of the ground at Gollan's whare showed that a bleeding body had been dragged into the whare, which wat then burnei. The motive assigned is jealousy. M'Quarrie had often expressed himself in jealous terms of Gollan on aooouht of a Maori woman with whom he was living, and of whom M'Quarrie was deeply enamoured. The police are at Mahia, and

No train again to-day. The idea the County authorities have of running a railway, is of the oddest description. Without public warning they cease running, nor do they venture to say when they hope to do so again. fn another; column M* Langley adver* tisei having found a mare with saddle on iien .He fturid Her drifting About; and Veily thoughtfully secured her.
