We direot the attention of the County authorities to a broken oulvert on the main road between Carnarvon and Motuiti. We ask our readers to notioe that Mr Thynne has withdrawn his notioe about having a few cows for sale, as the two insertions of suoh advertisement has enabled him to dispose of all the cowb tbat bave just lately calved. A week or so ago Mr Stansell carried round a list to defray the expenses incurred by Mrs Dunckley in getting medical attendance for ber little daughter who got her arm broken, with the satisfactory result of having been able to hand her the sum of £17. The tenders for the work a the Bank of Australasia think that the delay that has occurred in deciding upon which tender will b - acoepted as very ourious, the tenders having been in olobb upon a fortnight. . We trust the authori ies will wake up for the men's sake, as it is putting them to muoh inconvenience. A curious case was beard by the Mayor and Mr Thynne at the Po'ioe Court yesterday. A man named Doyle was given in oharge by Mr Cawston for being illegally on his premises < n Monday night. The man was looked up, but from his statement it appears that he had stayed at the hotel a 1 day and had a bed, and had been to bed for a time previous to being ordered away. Mr Cawston swore tha* he bad turned the man out at 10.30 p.m. and that afterwards he broke a pane of glass, and got into the house ani smashed things generally. The only v Itness produced for the proseoution stated that Doyle was not drunk, and was very quiet all the evoning. The arresting constable said that the man appeared sober and was very quiet. Under the circumstances the oase was dismissed. The proceedings of ,that eve- ag appear en eloped in mystery, as Doyle asserted tbat be bad never been put out of the house, or had ever broke anything. Further light is evidently needed. Mrs Arnold has two cows near calvi g for sale, and a heifer. We notice that the Advocate gives what it states to be a report of the inquest held at the Oroua Downs, though it bad no reporter present at the inquiry. This is a sample of the American style, have a rport, correct if pos-ible, but if not, then the nearest approach to it. There are at the present time 250 men and women exolu-ively engaged in Salvation Army operations in the_ colony. Seventy separate Corps or stations are worked by tbem, to which are attached over one hundred outposts. The old steamer Wal'abi, say* the N.Z. Times recently purohased by Mr E. Seager, is being dismantled, and bad her boilers taken out yesterday, when tbey were found to be in good condition She will be pu on Mr Coffey's slip to have her bottom ex- , amined, and if it is found to be in good order she will be made seaworthy instead of being turneg jgto & coal hu k. »

Cattle and Branbury, the two London policemen who were charged with perjury in connection with the arrest of one Alice Millard, have been oommitted for trial. Major Alfred Barritt, who some four years ago was editing the New Zealand War Cry in Cbristqhuroh, and is now 3upsrintending the Salvation Army operations at Buenos Ayres, Argentine Repub ie, has been granted by the authorities a free pass ore-- a.'l railway lines. The Kaihu Yaliey Railway, with plant, rolling stock, etc, was sold at Auckland on Jn'y 27th, being bought in by the mortgagee, This line, therefore, passes into the hands of tho GovernmentAt the month'y meeting of the Wanganui Education hoard Mr W. F. Stansell, junior assistant, applied for an extension of his leave of absence for another three months by reason of his continued illness. The cave was granted, but the Board did not feel themse.veß able to oontinue the teacher's salary during tbe extended period. Another telegram, asking for assistance during the ftbicnce of Mr Stansell, was referred to the Executive. An application from the Moutoa Committee,asking that the shing c roof shou d be replaoed by oorrugated iron, was referred to the Executive. The Chronicle Bays i-^- We are glad to note that the Board of Education have appointed a Committee to report on the practicality of establishing a Sohool of Design in Wanganui. The Government have refused the amount asked for the building, but there is some probability that the Board will undertake ths matter out of the funds at tbeir disposal. A suitable site fo<- the purpose is available in the Avenue, in front of the Infant Sobool, In connection witb tbe sale of Surplus Winter Stook, commencing on Friday, July 31st, we bave bad printed a very effective Price List, copies of whioh we shall be most happy to forward postage free to any one desiring the same. .
