I Though possessing but a small gardeu, yet Mr McMillan has succeeded in being first, as far as we have heard, of having new potatoes, he having informed us that, he [ ha<] some a fortnight ago, and is now regui ki'ly using them. Some years ago, when a band was started , in Foxton, instruments were purchased by ' subscription and placed in charge or the i local body — nominally. We are asked " where are they." Echo answers •' where." We believe the big drum, now used by the local corps of Salvationists, s one of the instruments wanted. This is, say one, but where are the many ? Anyone knowing of their whereabouts will much oblige by making it known. Mr E. Osborne, of the Centre of Commerce, has a new advertisement in this issue, which be opens by an argument between an actor and a parson. Mr Mudford is sinking for an artesian water supply on his farm in Carnarvon. Mr McMi lan, who returned from Weilington on Thursday, reports the outlook for the hemp trade aB being very bad, there oeing at present no orders out to buy. The price offering is also sti 1 lower, when buyers will make a bid. We still believe that this is only tempor ry, but is, however, very inconvenient to many millers. Messrs Stevens and Gorton hold o sale at Sandon on Eriday next. Services will be held at All Saints' Church to-morrow at 11 a.m., 2.b0 p m., and 7 p m. We regret to report that Mr Graham, who has been ruuning Mes rs Jaok A' Co's hemp mi 1, at Moutoa, has taken to running , himself, and has left all hands to deplore his absence. Graham left last Tuesday for Wellington to see about some condemned flax, and is reportel to have obtained a cheque for £60. Messrs Jack & Co ap peared on the scene yesterday and claimed everything under bailment, There is a large sum due to the employees. Mr W. Toomath, of Moutoa, has lost a horse, and offers a liberal reward for its return. Specifications of the work to be done on the Moutoa road for the County Council can now be seen at the office of this paper. | Parnharc, manager, and Home, accountant, of the Launoeston branch of th s Union Steamship Company of New Zealau \ have been oharged with embezzlement and falsifying the books. The defalcations are said to amount tv £3000, and the accuse • are being prosecuted tit the | instance of the Tasmanian Steam Navies.- | tion Company, having held position- in that Company's office brfore the amalgamation took place. At the Wellington A. and P. Siiow f.,r I dressed flax, in bale not l-ss than tluwt, I from N.Z. Flax, Ist pviis •, :• haw, Sivi! <<• Company's special prize of £10. 2nd £, 3rd ! certificate, Messrs Trinyltaui and McK'tnzi* got the first, F. Thorpe the second, and j George fiartlet a certificate. Measrs Booth, : V'acdonald & Co got special mention for th*»i»" aparte. harrow. '

William Henry Williams, the husband of the woman convicted on Monday for 1 several offences* h s made hipiself notori- ■• ous, by joining with his wife, i : consenting <j to the uvaniage of his little daughter of only thirteen years and two men h<? of age*. It is lawfu', but it is objectionable, ; aad the reasons urged in justification of : the marriage, makes the fact of the utter want of. supervision over the paeriibers of the family most startling, and justifies our previous statement that these parents have no right to the ca>-e of their children. We trust some step will be taken to guard the younger ones. The child was married on Wednesday. Mr Billens, the photographer, has found business so brisk, that : c has taken Mr Bunting into partnership. In our advertising columns wi 1 he found a notice from this firm, ani they announce their intention of making periodical visits td this town. It is refreshing to find an instance where the Premier, instead of being " sat upon " has been able to " sit on " some other fellow. The Native Minister had given notice that the Native Land Eegistry i ffice at Wanganui should be moved to Wellington. The Chamber of flom-erc* of the first mentioned town, objected, and sent a delegate to interview, not the Minister in whose charge the department is, but the Premier. The re ult has been that for the present the office is to remain. Now that the Premier has plucked up courage to secure his own way a bit, Messrs Seddon and McKenaie will have to look out. Mr Ballance has been anything but Premier in practise, and we should much like to see him be so actually. He ought to have been consulted by the Native Minister before a matter of so much interest to his electorate was interfered with. We are not surprised that the Governmeut favour tha idea of starting an evening paper in Wellington. They sadly need gome backing, and the Evening Post's opinions oi! their tactics as shown in the following clipping from a leader cannot be their liking :— " The principles of true Liberalism are clear as noonday and easi y defined, but they are entire y distinct from, and in the main opposed to, the tenets of the sham and bogus Liberalism of which Mr Ballance and Sir Robert i*tout are the apostles and prophets. Their Liberalism is a thin nisguise for the worst form, not of Toryism, but of tyranm — the dictation of the 'unthinking majority, whose section proceeds from impulse and passion, uninfluenced by reason or reflection." At Washington a baloon carrying two hundred pounds of dynamite was exploded among the clouds, and produced a heavy downpour of rain. The Lon'on Chronicle says that the Prince of Wales has all but decided to go to Chicago to attend the Exposition, and that he is likely to be accompanied by Emperor William of Germany. Writing about the Wellington A. and P. Show the N Z. Tinvea says :— Probably the quality of the butter at this Show has never been excelled in this Colony. Firm in texture, uniform in colour, and full of the true butter flavour, it shows what a grand future the dairying industries of New Zea'and has before it. From Sydney we learn that Mr McMillan declines to accept the leadership of the Opposition on the grounds of private business and a final appeal will be made to Sl*r Henry Parkes to accept it. A boy at Clmstchurch. two years old, named Day, on Friday swallowed some vitrol used by his father at wool scouring, and died trom the effects on luesday morning. The late Agent-General, sir Dillon Bell, Lady Bell, and Mr Ernest Bell arrived at Wellington ou <i ednesday morning by the ►teamer Arawa, and were welcomed on their arrival by a number of their relations and friends, The following are all made to our special order :— Boyst' White Drill " Sailor " Suits, j (jilt Buttons an > trimmed Blue Braid from 4/9 each at Te Aro House, We lington.
