Mr Brucp, M.H.R., announced at Feild ing the other night that ho would not seek re-election for the Rangitilcei s>at. The Wanganui Education Board, after ••ecommending the Foxton School Commit ee to obtain a cadet, has refused to saneion his appointment—Why ? Christmas i-> always marked by the innvas'id effort made by the Weekly journals to pl-ase their ivadtrs. The Canterbury Vime.* is wt-ll to th« front in this lvspect as the spnc"al number con'ains fifty six pages of toned pap^r, and has two illustrated snpp'em^nfs. on" of which is a view of Mount Cook and the (Jo:.k river valley, from a drawing by Sauui. 1 H.. Vlcivton A.S A.: lie other being tu aimunnc on which the map of the world on M rcat>r's principle is slio^'n: with the different trade routes. The almanac is th« best, and most useful we h.ive s -en. Referring again to the special number w.- find that it contains a number of capital and complete 3tories so handy for whiling spare time away, besides the large mass of general news it always con'ains. It is a most civdi ahle production and well worth th<^ price asked for it. The crivi'i" Ia !v coloured oni sp cially prepared for the occasion. Altogether wk incline to assert that, it is the best Christmas number ever isnv.'d from the office We It-am that the artesian well is down 203 ft'"t nt tho Wangnnui Freezing works an 1 ihut water i< exp -oted to be obtain d very soon.

Mrs MeVlillau returned to Foxton. after a lon r stay in nckland, on Wednesday evening Her many fri :nds will be glad t) l*avn that a very groat improvement is notic -abl-' in hsr daughter's eyes. W>- thought wewere going to be " put on" to a c rtainty at one of the coming rac >- •me.<sli»gß wh-n we were aocosted yesterday by a venerable person with "do you want a soft thing" we almost said '• yes "at once, but did not. The enquiry had nothing to do with horse racing though it had to do with shoes, but raens, or ladies. The " soft thing " was not th? pric^ either, as far as we could understand, but the material. It appears Mr Startup ha* some Russian leather, something uniqun for the season, "beautifully Anit, don't you know," and all that style, and h°. was just trying to find out " a lin•»." Well if anyone wants a " soft thing " they will thus know to who-n to go. The Rev Mr Aitk»ns from Picton paid a visit to town on Thursday having a look at tha countrv over which, so it is said, h •> is to have spiritual charge. What we had the pleasure of seeing of Mr Aitken ii would appear as ihoug'i th i town would be a fl-eat gainer and Picton su£f r a great los« bv the change. Mr Aitk ns is a marri d man and is 'Weised with a family of four and ho will likely he S9ttled h°re by th« b ginning of th° n°w year.

The drefjsiug reflects the greatest credit on Messrs Deßidder and Alf Fraser and the tempting manner in which the goods ave displayed is bound to draw customers in. Never was a more incredible story in« vented than the one proved — so the Magistrate considered— at the Westminster Police Court a few weekß since. A young woman applied for an affiliation ordir against a man who bad lived with her for ten years, and by whom she had six child ren. He was not her husband, but had been bast man at the wedding, and when that ceremony Was dd'tipleted lie took up his abode with her and was believed by her mother to be the real bridegroom. Shs had supported him all this time by keepa coftVe-stall on Elbnry Bridge (the net profiis of which business were said to average £5 a week), and, if the master had not let his fancy go straying, nothing would have broken up the irregular househo-d, unless it had been the re-appearance of the lawful husband. That gentleman disappeared at the church door, and,— so the evidence ran- -had never since been heard of. I he Liberal canvassers, iu the course of their peregrinations n Govau the other day struck a house where they thought they were likely to secure a vote On the wall hung a picture of the Pope, but they discovered at the back of i also a portrait of William of immortal memory. Th» woman of the house, n ticiug their wonderment at the ca holicity of taste for an, voluntarily -explained —" I don't think you'll get my husband's vote, for he's an Orang;man, although I am a Catholic. H/s one of the best men ever lived excepi on the 12th Ju y when he takes down th picture of the Pope and smashes it to pieces. Then I takes clown King Billy and pawn him, and buy a new Pop*, and at the first pay he ' lifts ' King Billy, and both hang there again till the 12th of July.' 1 Specially notico this sale of amounts purchased and value of gifts :— Purchase 10* gift 1/ Purchase 40s gift 4s Purchase 15s gift 1/6 Purchase 50s gift 5:-, Purchase 20s gift 2/- Purchase GOsgift 6Purcliase 25s gift 2/6 Purchase 70s gift 7 Purchase 30s gift 3/- Purchase 80s gift 8s Purchase 45s gift 3/6 Purchase 90s gift 9s And so on in proportion up to £50, CIOO or more at Te Aro House, Wellington.
