All holders of licenses will do well to attend to the provisions of the Act. The Wairarapa Standard thus remarks upon a young lady well-known i.i this district : — Miss Symona, Bisler of Mrs Toogood of Featherston, departed from Wellington yesterday en route for England. Miss Symons, during her slay in the district, formed a large circle. of friends by whom she will be greatly missed, as she was always foremost in promoting those little social gatherings that assisted to make residence in our country townships pleasant. Among the first officers of the Masonic Grand Lodge, of New Zealand, we notice the names of D. H. Macarthu.r, M.H.R.. as having been appointed Grand Junior Warden, and J. H. Hanking as Assistant Registrar ; and as some of the Stewards — Messvs J. Walkley, of Palmerston, and C. Dray, ofFeilding. Mr E. Barber, butcher, of Lambtou Quayon Tuesday (says the Pout), slaughtered a bullock with an abnormally large kidney, the weight of which, including the fat, was' no less than 1021bs. The beast itself, which was grown ib the Carnarvon District, was by no means a big bullock. It turned the scales at sc\vt., amd was perfectly healthy and free from the slightest blemish. Mr E. Holloway, the foreman ol Mr Barber's shop, states that it is only oue beast in a million which is possessed of a balloon kidney, as the phenomenon is designated on account of its peculiar shape, and in the London market the fat, because | of its hardness and density, would, he avers, readily sell for Is per Ib. It is intended to freeze the oleaginous mass and ship it Home, where it will doubtless act as a good advertisement for the Colony, as showing what New Zealand pastures are capable of turning out in the shape of butcher's meat. Mr H Mo'nro, so long known in Palmerston, cays the Standard, in connection with the Bank of Australasia, has received instructions to proceed to Melbourne, to take up a position in the bank there. He leaves Wellington for Melbourne on Monday. The following is applicable to a young couple in this District : at Christchurch on Saturday last a. husband of 18 years was ordered to find a sarety of £50 that he would pay 15s a week towards the support of his wife, aged 27, and their one child. "Is marriage a failure ? " Theiv's evidently is. " She did't care about living with him," and " he did't want to live with her." " You are a pair of young fools," taid the Magistrate. At the court-martial held at Sydney, Allan, a second-class petty-officer of H.M.S. Egeria, accused of taking part in the mutiny among the men, was sentenced to five years' penal servitude. Another case will be heard to-morrow, and live more on Saturday. Mr D. Christie Murray is in Napier engaged writing a comedy drama, the scenes of wlush ar» laid in Otago. The Public will look with interest to the usos to which Mr Murray will put his New Zealand experience. He has had some dramatic experience, having, been associated with Henry Herman, of " Silver King " tame, in a drama shortly to be produced in London. It is. reported 'that en Australian syndicate intendß to build and conduct an hotel of 200 rooms at Rotorua.
