Messrs Shearman & Co of Wellington intimate that they are. prepared id ad all coinniisafon wofk, with punctuality and ■eootiomy. The" head of the firm is well known in the colony, and is a : thoroughly trustworthy gentleman. Two horses have beeyi impounded frorij ■Mi-Oliver's land it Moutoi. The. d.aifc fi*ed for their sale; if Hot' previously claimed, is next Saturday. Amongst our new advertisements will be noticed one, from Jen];i ns x Qo# who h BVa . secured tb it) comer section Tietween Mr «B.lns' boot shop and Mr Arnold's blacksmith's shop. T.hey intend to open at once, in the iron building now upon the ground, a wheelwright's stoop 1 ; where' re". Pam will be carefully made, and new vehicles built to order. They are satisfied that they have secured a first class workman. The firm are also builders and contractors and they will supply plans and estimates for all classes of work. A stock of building materials will be kept; .THsfltm evidently intend business, and w'ili' get it, if possible. Mr Jenkins has been here a short time, and has finished Mrs Startups new house, and a building for the Butchering Company, which have satisfied the owners, he is therefore'not an untried man. Persons who assert the rights of ownership to land are apt at times .to. burn their own fingers. A «ase occurred a few days ago which affords a good (illustration. A working man in the .township has possession of an acre or so of grass land, and contracted to allow another inhabitant to run two horses on the i- A lan'd,:*t Vfchst of two shillings a week. This 'tenant "the other day took the two horses -out of the paddock, for use, and atnig;h^][nl^ce4"-iri one horse to graze, but not one .ot-.the^ two he had taken out. The iati&o^er on' viewing his estate the following day spieS this un; fortunate animal grazing* and" without due consideration, or any deliberation, the landowner delivered him to thepoundkeeper, and placed two shillings special damages for grass eaten in the night. The principles of arithmetic cannot have been successfully drummed into this hasty man's head, as the sum claimed for the one horse for one night, is not very near the sum claimed for two horses for one week. The special damages, charges, and poundage fees ran uptofour shillings and sixpence, which will create rather" a startling surprise s to this individual, ias te will hay« to pay it, as he impounded, the property of the tenant with. whom he bad contracted to graze horses for! "Look before you leap,". is an old motto, -our Mend had better amend it to " Look before you impound" in fact, do a little move. work. At the meeting of the Wellington Education Board the application of . the residents of thetownship of Levin for a school was referred to the Inspector with instructions to report to a committee/consisting of Messrs Brown, Fraser and Young. The same comnuHte'e was instructed to deal with the application for schools at Pora-. paraumea and Man&kau. A letter was read at the Wanganui Edu" cation Board from the Oroua Committee >wijth' reference to the master'? residence and attendance. It was resolved that the Board were please.fi to mote fife good attendance, but could do nothing regarding building. • ""' ' Today Mr Wilaon is'"- to move in the House that a return (similar. to return D.— 1886,) be laid before this House, /showing amounts- received b^the^ Railway Department from all sources during the year ending 31st March, 1880', in' connection" with" the Foxton Wharf, and the anioiint of expenditure of the Government in connection with the working of the wharf and tho port, of Foxton during, that period; and alSo a similar reftfcn for the two mouths of April and May, 1889. ■ ".*■.- • ' Mr Donald Fraser in a letter to the Advocate on the Longburn Freezing Company, writes : — I was very much surprised to find that five ' of . the most prominent names on the provisional directory was there without Ijheir. sanction, and requests their names to be^r^moved. I have this information from Messrs Pratt and Pascal speaking for themselves, and I have it oi good authority . tha-t •, Messrs J. Bull, J McKelvie, and Mr Macarthur, M.H,R., ar in the same position as Messrs Pratt and Pascal. I certainly think ! that these five are very much to blame for allowing their names to appear week after week, as it is quite certain that some shares will be taken on that account, and in my opinion, : anyone taking shares on the stfeugth of any of these names should be morally entitled, if not legally, to retell atidgethis deposit back with interest. Any of the remaining directors that heard of these fjye names being wrongfully there are, in my opinion, very much to blame for not having them removed an soon as it became known that they would not agree to become direotors or shareholders."
