Mr George Coley with hi* characteristic energy has determined to put his flaxmill lately burnt down into working order again without loss of time, and yesterday the carpenters commenced at the build ing-. We all hope he may be rewarded by good prices soon ruling for the dressed material. A very welcome rain fell on Sunday, and again last night. It will; be "appreciated by all land owners who are not shearing. Mr Joseph Jay, formerly of Wellington, has completed his railway contract be twi-en Lakes Brunner and Poherua, West Coast, Bays the Post, and is about to make a tour through Great Britain. Wm. Tavi-rsham was found guilty of an unna'ura! offence and was sentenced to five years' penal servitude at Wellington on Saturday. Messrs Abraham & -Williams, hold a stock sale at Palftierston on Thursday. The poll in connection with the loanjor the Awahou Biding will be taken on Thursday at Mr Mitchell's old residence at j Motoa. The Shannon Farmer has made the discovery that this elec'orate is decidedly in ' favour of th» Government though Mr Wilson was returned. If such a statement pleases it, it hurts nobody, but at the same time can hardly be described as a fact. The Manawatu Farmer says th* station master's bouse at Shannon is well advanced. We desire to point out to our contemporary the Farmer that the item about the fire at Colby's mill is evidently taken from our columns without acknowledgement, with an addition that is not correct. The heading " Fire near Foston " i 9 rather wiile for a lire in the centre of the town ! The usual horse sale at Palmerston will be hold on Saturday. \lessr3 Abraham <fc Williams being th» aaetienMro.

Major Kemp was refused as' a candidate owing to his name having appeared on a European roll, We are iilMrmed that Wilson Huuia, (hough nominaU-d. is in exactly tlic same position. The Chrisiehmvh yv« says the Governor lias authorised it to sttite that there is no tru'li in the' loport that he has recoiam<;ndi:d Mr Seddon for Knighthood. After the pathetic explanation of its financial troubles made by the Wanganni Education Boanl it .-omids peculiar that tlipy should have granted their Secretary. Mr A. A. Browne, nin-? mouths le&ve cf absence on half pay, a.s. (hey did at their last meeting. - Twenty-two of?>e9 of dutU votihg at the PalrilerSton ftl-eiion ! yet tile Returning Ol>icr-r Uiinks it not worth while to proceed .•.^aii2>t the wrong doers ! We heard, before the election, that t\\w.\ voting was anticipated. During the last trip of the Stormbird from Wellington to Wanganui, Captain i Leys, who was a passenger, was missed on ! arrival at Wanganui. Ha was seen iv the cabin shortly bpfore the bar was crossed. Many Natives are an ions to know if they can Vote for a Maori member if they have lvfrained from voting at the general election. It would appear as though they could not if their names are on the European roll, or w y should Major Kemp's nomination be refused, We shall hardly lenow in what country we are in when we travel, presently, as all customs are getting so alike. An old saying told us, " when in Borne do as Rome does " but in the matter of banking/Rome, Australia and New Z -aland are acting similarly. When times are " tight," not the bankers, in Australia the banks close for 4 and fi days at a stretch, just such a stretch we are fast, coming to here. In Home the banks ask the Government for a moritorhnn. a dead time, in which to recuperate Every _ consideration should be shown to fluanclal institutions, govern menls neatly always have to, private traders always have to, but, and we mention it in the most gentle manner, in case the fact might come as a siiddon aud surprising jar to the Directors and Managers of our banks, there U a Divine Law which commends that we should " do unto others as you would be done bye " and ayet dealers with banks nave never learnt of the term much less experienced the practice of morltorium when an account, called up, remains on the -.vrong side of the ledger. Good term, niorhor'nim. let it have a general use, and lot cutomers obtain equal concessions. It is unlikely that Parliament will meet befoiv the end of July, so at lea^t th.-j N Z. Times says, and it is probably true as tho Premier is unlikily to dtfire any earlier meeting than is compulsory. A long suffering country is threatened with further additions to the Legislative Council to appeaso those ardent Liberals svho have c-itlur stood an election and been di-fi ated or havp refrained from attempting to obtain the £240 a year salary. If a good new Councillor is wanted why not nominate our Mr Donald Fraser, hfought a good fight, and would make a far better Councillor than many who will be created. The residents of Fo-ton and its vicinity are reminded of the fact that the Te Aro House Branch, in Main .Street is now in full swing.
