The funeral of the late R. W. Cawston took place on Sunday afternoon. . A large number followed the hearse. The Rev. G. Aitkens conducted the beautiful burial ser. vice. All the arrangements under the care of Mr Jonson, the undertaker, were carefully attended to. Our friends at Motoa were a little " too previous " as we pointed out at the time, in electing a school committee. In another column the Education Board directs a meeting of the householders to be held on Tuesday 21st of November at 8 p.m , to elect a committee, and also a chairman of ihe same. Next Saturday Messrs Abraham and Williams hold a sale of first-class haoks at Pahnerston. On Wednesday week they hold a stock sale at Levin, the entries of which are advertised. Mr J. G. Wilson advertises that he will address the electors at Saurton on Saturday evenidg. The Wairarapa Daily Time* says : — " We are not out of October yet, and every garden in Masterton is parched and burnt np from want oLwater. . The next English and European mail for specially addressed correspondence per s.s. Ruapehu via Bio de Janeiro will close at the local office on Tuesday, the 21st day of November at 8 p.m. This mail is due in London on the sth January. The 'Frisco mail closes at 8 p.m. on Tuesday 28th inst. Yesterday morning, the Auckland trader, the s.s. Kanieri called in direct from Auckland. It is the intention of her owners to run direot trips between the two ports should trale inducements be sufficient. Her cargo this trip consists of 270 nests of earthenware pipes, 200 junctions and 50,---000 feet of kauri timber. At present the Kanieri makes regular fortnightly trips to Wellington from Auckland. We have not ascertained the price of the kauri timber, but if anything near reasonable, it bids fair to cut our local product out, as it is splendid working stuff, and the freight is only two shillings and sixpence. By the Post Office notice elsewhere, it will be seen that on Thursday a close holiday will be observed. A convenience to holders- of boxes is mentioned, Viz, that mails will be sorted into them after arrival of each mail. The schooner Clyde, an old trader to this port sailed over the bar yesterday morning. She has, as cargo, 12,000 sacks of wheat for the Palmerston flour mill. Our sporting readers will be interested in learning that Mr O'Brien'a Loyalty won the Melbourne Stakes of 500 soys on Saturday, and Mr W. E. Wilson's Carnage won the Victoria Derby. The style of man the Ministerial organ in Wellington delighteth to honor. •< He promised to support the Government, as the leaders of the Likeral Party ; he supported them consistently, he defends their measures now. Mr McLean certainly deserves the thanks and confidence of the electors of Wellington." At the conclusion of his speech on Thursday night, the. Post reports, Mr McLean was asked by Mr Allan Orr if it was not a fact that when speaking on the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt Bill in the House, he had said that he would never use it in his private business. Mr McLean replied that he would never use it in any capacity, and he had never done so. Mr Orr retorted that the report was that there was scaroely a paper which did not contain a report about people whom Mr McLean had had up on judgment sum* mons and was it not a fact that a few weeks ago he had sued a poor woman who , had to beg bread for her house? Mr Mc» ' Lean : " If you can bring forward evidenoo of the truth of what you say, I will retire to-morrow." Mr Orr Raid he would undertake to prove it

We are obliged by the receipt of a ticket for the Fruit and Jelly service at the Sal* vation Army Barracks this eveiiing. ?

T^'e fydliey wool difficulty was amicably i settled at an informal conference, when the concession by the sellers was accepted by the buyers.

Insti'u'Ctiohs have been given by the Public Works Department to proceed with the Palmerstdri North Courthouse at once, arid it is expected that tenders will be called immediately. Wfe Wftre shown yesterday some ripe oherries grown in Mr Thynne's orchard. It is early to find them ripe. Probate has been granted in London in the estate of Sir M. Montefiore at a million and a quarter sterling. The bulk of the property is bequeathed to his daughter. Friday's Wanganui Herald reports!— The contractor for the artesian well . made vei'y rapid progress yesterday; recording no less than 30ft for, th& day's work. 'I his brought him nearly to the limit— 34oft— but just before 6 o'clock a good flow of water was obtained, which, as it cleared the passage, increased in volume. It is considered quite equal to the flow in Campbell street, and there is every reason to believe that it will continue pa. Mr Gilmour informs Us tll£t the flow had increased .very much during the night, and how registers 18 gallons per minute. The drill at present is in a stratum of very fine sand, with indications of shingle. Should shingle be reached a few feet further down, Mr Gilmour expects a much greater flow, and says that, in any case, when the bottom of the hole is cleared out the flow must increase. As it is at the present moraeut there is more pressure than was obtained at the well in Campbell -street. The Mayor, and majority of Councillors are to be congratulated on their foresight in giving work to teams which are now unemployed, by calling for tenders for me tailing. No doubt their consideration will meet with its own reward in securing a reasonable contract. Of course two Councillors had to object under personal motives. One, who would have preferred being Mayor during the coining term, and the other, the back-blocks member. Their objections were the reverse of public ones, but the good sense of the majority placed their opposition nowhere. To-day the wharf presents a very busy appearance, as there were four steamers, the Kanieri, Waverley, Queen of the South, and Ivy, and the schooner Clyde. The wharf was a very pleasing sight to day, as we have shown, but it must have appeared more like Liverpool than any other port to one person we noticed who was taking the scene in. He had been working hard the past week and must have been paid up yesterday, as he was " loaded " with a miscellaneous cargo of mixed liquors, but not below Plimsolls mark so that he could not stand and look. He did look and gently swayed backwards and forwards and each motion seemed to increase his astonishment at the number of the vessels. We would like to know how many he really believed there were present. On Sunday night Mr H. H. Tippler's grocery shop on Lambton Quay, Wellington, was burnt down. The origin of the fire is not known. Mr Ivess on Saturday night did not give a very satisfactory explanation of the attempt to bribe him, but probably time may make the m -liter clearer. A steamer which caught fire while passing through the Suez canal has blocked the passage. The Waverley has called in for Mr McLennan's wool.
