Mr Peart, who has openedjin this town, notifies that it is only for a short period, during which he will hod a regular clear, ance sale of drapery, grocery and crockery. His premises are just opposite the Bank of New Zealand. Mr R. Murray has a business notice in this issue, and undertakes to deliver goods to any part of the town. Mr W. H. Howe, Shannon, notifies that all accounts owing to him must be p&iA to Mr Bay. The foundations for the weighbridge on j the wharf have been competed some time, bat no further progress has been made.

Mr Henry Coley and partners having " 'ched up," have accepted anotl?contract at a sum meaning a little over £16 in Wellington. They, however, get the value f .o.b. Mr Murray, our local cordial manufacturer, brought home a wife last week, and has now taken up his residence in tie new cottage just bui't by Mr Spelman, next the Wesleyan Church. Messrs Loveday Brothers want a good tailor. We do not like to be grumb'ing, but there are some horrib'e noises that drives one almost to despair. A resident in the centre of the town has been properly brought up, and in his youth toon to heart Dr Watt's hymn about " Let dogs delight to bark and bite," as he is the possessor of one that does nothing else but bark from early morn till chilly eve. If nothing else but biting will stop|his barking we should take it as a favour if he would let him bite, anything, but the dreadful, continuous row. The Chairman'of the School Committee should be a proud man this day, owing to hip success in actually getting a new committee nominated under the provisions of the new act. The gent'empn who have responded to duty's ca'l are r^Measrs J. T. Bay, E. S. Thynne, W. G. Robinson, C. Honore, B. Spelman, J. Walsh, and W. J. Little. These have been prominently displayed, as by law required, on the outer door of the school. Mr Buxton, the traffic manager of the Wanganui section, paid a visit with Mrs Buxton, to Foxton last week. We beg to tender to Mr and Mrs Buxton. our best wishes, and trust they may spend a pleasant life together. Mrs Buxton is a sister of Mr Enderby, who was so popular whilst attached aa clerk to the railway here. At the inqnest held to iuquirt into the death of Emily Kate Spicer, at Wanganui, the jury returned the following verdiot:— " That Emily Kate Spicer came by her death at .the hands of Caroline Feyman, and we record a verdiot of wilful murder against the said Caroline Peyman. A little girl has been murdered at Leeds under circumstances simi ar to those which distinguished the murders committed by Jack the Bipper. The Prince of Wales' connection with the baccarat scandal is severely criticised in foreign military circles. A well known settler at Pohangina named Hector Macdonald was on Thursday 'ast committed to the Wellington Asylum on the certificates of Drs Macintyre and Porter. The Princess of Wales is introducing a novelty in the shape of a tea service adorned with photographs taken by herself in Scotland. The service will consist of thirty-six pieces, and the photographs will be printed by the manufacturer of the ware printed from the Princess's own negatives. His Worship the Mayor has received, says the Manawatu Times, repMes from the Government and the Mayor of Wellington with regard to the proposal for the Government to buy the Wellington-Manawatu Company's line- The reply from Government is that the matter Is under consideration. The Mayor of Wellington said that while he quite agreed as to the wisdom of the Government taking over the line, he was afraid the want of time would prevent him assisting actively, but he would be glad to do anything he could in assisting the furtherance of the proposal. The Hon. R. Seddon is the strong man of the .Government — in hid own opinion. Being inquisitive as to what the Government had to • say about Sir George Grey's return to "Parliament, a representative of the Tuapeka Times interviewed Mr Seddon, who replied as follows : — " We!l, embarrassing he may be perhaps at times, but never, I think, dangerous. I quite understand his hostility to Mr Ballance ; it's a matter of ancient history,, that. But there's a very close and a very old friendship existing between Sir George and myself — a friendship extending now over an unbroken period of fifteen years— and I feel that confident that my influence with him will be quite strong enough to prevent his re-entry into political life becoming a danger to the party to which I belong, I quite recognise, however, the possibility of a few of our prominent supporters kicking over the traces, becoming unmanageabe, and giving some trouble." From the current quarterly issue of the Paper and Printing Trades Journal, we learn that the length of the paper required for the English census "forms" is 1500 miles, the number of reams nearly 6000, and the weight, without wrappers, nearly 70 tons. " Well, Mr Bronson," said the dominie, I hope you derived profit from the services this morning." " Sir," returned Bronson, inclined to be indignant, " I assure you I drop business on Sunday and attend church with no hope of profit." Mr Macarthur, M.H.E., at the meeting of the Land Board (says the Post) stated that he had seen several notices which had been served upon selectors by a Crown Lands Banger in his district calling upon them to fall and clear the timber on their selections, whilst at the same time the selections referred to had not : on'y been felled and cleared but were at the present time laid down in grass. The question ,pf furnishing the Crown Lands Ranger with instructions as to his duties was brought before the Board, . who decided that the Commissioner shou 1 d issiienewinstructions tions to Bangers. Mr Macarthur remarked that he considered, that it would be advis'- ' able not only to instruct rangers what they were to do, but also to instruct them what not to do in their business re'ationshipj with ' settlers in their respective duties. He knew for a fact that hundreds of settlers on the West Coast of this island had been and still w«re seriously annoyed, by the. vexatious interference 'of over-officious rangers. The other members of the Board concurred in the views expressed by Mr Macavthut Mr Honore informs us that the catalogues whioh will accompany the consignment of Yates' seeds, will contain the names of the winners of the prizes offered last season. . The painting of Somnus, exeoufced by Mr Arthur Grieabach, was to be seen one day last week in Mr Little's shop window. It appeared to be a very nice picture, and Mr Baker is highly pleased with the work. The Evening Press is not delighted with the speeches of the mover and seconder of the address, as it says "From start to finish Mr MoGuire's speech brist'ed with bad Eng'ish, bad pronunciation, arid worse logic Mr MoGuire wound up by gravely asserting that he had much pleasure in seconding the Address-in-R -ply, though he was, in fact, the mover of it Mr Buiok, who seconded the Address, distinguished himself by the length of his speech, its stiffness, and its canting tone. It touched every conceivable subject, and frequently, in attempting to reaoh the sublime, it flopped down into the ridiculous." THERE IS'ONE THING every house wife should know, and that is that Herculbs Baking Powdeb is the best. Why ? It is the cheapest because the Best for makng breads, pastry, cakes, puddings, scones, Ac.

Strikes bring out the worst in human nature. On Mitchell Downs Station in Queensland the water tank in use by the boundary riders was found saturated wjth strychnine ! The probabilities of its being the act of the men on strike seem clear, as these were found endeavoring to lay the country waste by fire. The Financial Statement is to be made on Friday. The Post says the operations of the We'lingfon Woollen Company for the past six months have been of a very satisfactory character, and it is probab'e that an interim dividend will be declared next week.
