Mass will be celebrated on Sunday next at St. Mary's, Foxfcon, at 8 and 11 a.m. ; evening service and sermon at 6.30. Thus the Farmer explains the last of its " mild jokes " thus —" Some of our contemporaries have copied our iceberg story, believing that a berg was stranded at Otaki as described. We thought that the measurement given, the climbing to the top by means of a pocket knife, the torn pants, in fact the whole story was too plain to be misunderstood " It will be well for our contemporary not to inquire into what the thoughts of those are who so foolishly relied npoa its statements of facts. 'I he Post, in its local re duplicate reports on a licensed house in the Otaki Licensing district;, has slipped iv mentioning Fox ton, for Sanson was the place and its own report of thß proceedings make this clear. The Central Hotel at Otaki is kept by Mr T. V. Proctor, a son of our old residents. The hotel, which has only been lately built, is well laid out, and the host, ably assisted by Mrs Proator, makes a visitor very comfortable. Those who visit Otaki should give this house a trial, which is all that is asked. The Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem gives some facts which show that the Jews are pouring into Palestine. About 100,000 Jews have entered the Holy Land during the last few years, and " the arrival of a vaster host is imminent." " No. one," he goes on, " can possibly forecast the next seven years of Jewish immigration." The New Plymonth petroleum syndicate, having i'.s plant in order, has secured a head driller, who was engaged in Sydney, and, on his arrival, will commence boring operations. In pumping out the bore, which was carried to a depth of over 900 feet, oil freely appears and the owners are sanguine of success. The Pod says —Arrangements have been made with the Union Steam Ship Company at cliff -rent ports of the colony for the conveyance of over 5000 sheep for exhibition at the Sydney Him Fair, to be held the first week iv July. The Home Secretary will act as arbitrator in the cab strike. At the Supreme Court at Dnnedin Charles Gamble, a bankrupt, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for. failing to keep proper books. The Hon Mr Ward proposes to introduce a bill next session for the establishment of public abattoirs and the inspection of dead meat markets. A thorough inspection of the road near Mr D. Scott's residence was made last week, and it was found that below the clay bank and almost at the water's edge there was a hard stratum of a dark substance, which had withstood the force of water to a great extent. It was decided to protect this, and also the bank, by covering with scrub or toi reeds tightly held down with strong wire netting; the wire netting to be securely anchored in the river by iron rails to prevent its being washed away by the force of the water. In addition to this weeping willows are to be planted in tiers from the edge of the water right back to the road. The work is to be gone on with, says the Mercury, and if the weather will only permit of its being fairly started, Mr Mackay is confident that it will be effectual in preventing an encroachment.' The protection works will extend over a distance of twenty chains. Little Brunislaw Hubermann is a Pole, ten years of age, and has recently created a great sensation as a violinist in Paris. Even such masters as Joachim and Sarasate declare that his tone and executive ' skill are those of a man. The Suez Canal Company has conferred liberal pensions on De Lessep3 and his family. A fisherman named Connell had a rather unpleasant experience at the Rangitikei Heads on Wednesday, says the Mercury. He had gone out across the bar in his boat to fish in the deep water, and when he attempted to return found the wind was too strong for him. He vainly endeavoured to make headway but gradually drifted to leeward. Mr Bushett, the well-known fisherman, observed him in difficulties and put off to his assistance. He soon had Connell on board his own boat, and they tried to tow the other one to shore. The wind, however, was too strong, and Connell's boat had to be abandoned. After some hard rowing the shore was made in safety. When Connell's boat was abandoned a sandbag anchor was let go in hopes that it would hold the boat until the storm went ; down. It was too light, however, and the boat drifted away to sea and has not since been heard of. Baron Hirsoh hft3 bought the raoehoree Matohbox, whloh van neoond In the Derby.

We regret very much to have to reoord the death of Mr F, Morse, which oocurred at Wellington last Saturday morn* ing. The deceased made himself very popular amongst us in many ways during the short time he occupied a position in the looal branch of the Bank of Australasia, and later filling a position in the bank T at Otaki. A few weeks ago he contracted a severe attack of 7a grippe, whicl^ necessitated his removal to the hospift^^^ his illness eventually turning to typhoj^V fever, which carried him off. His deatrf^ comes as a great surprise to many iv this district, having barely reached the age of 22 years. He was universally liked, and was always of a cheery disposition. It will be particularly sorrowing to his parents in. England to learn of his death. We be. lieve his only relatives in the colony are in Wellington. His remains were interred in the Wellington cemetery yesterday, and the funeral was attended by some of the late Mr Morse's Otaki friends. It is rumoured that a raoing club is to yt be started at Levin. It is becoming quite fashionable for ladies to oooupy important Congregational pulpits on Sunday. Twice ou Sunday (says the Liverpool Pout's London correspondent) a sister of the late Mr Spurgeon preached to crowded congregations at the handsome churoh in Hampstead road in connection with the anniversary servioe. She is very impressive in her manner, and is not without personal resemblance to her eminent brother, from whom, however, she differed, among other things, on the question of baptism. At the conclusion of the meeting of the Palruerston Licensing Committee the chairman called the attention of the police to the necessity for better inspection of licensed premises, and more active means being taken to suppress selling after hours. The Committee had made a personal inspection of the licensed premises in the district, and the improvements required were based on reports thus obtained. There is to be a special meeting at the Salvation Army barracks to-night, which will be led by Captain Kemp, of Otaki, assisted by Captain Scott and Lieut. Gillies, of Ohau. Admission will be by a silver collection at the door. A balloon, with a capacity of over 100,---000 cubic feet, the largest ever known, has been constructed in London. It will lift a ton in addition to its own weight of 1J tons. The Council of the Churches, Sydney, has published." an appeal to the Christian public of New South Wales " against the growing practice and evil of gambling, and urging that the testimony of the churches, to be clear and ■ powerful, must be backed up by example. "It is to be feared " says the appeal "that this testimony has been weakened by tbe practice which some of them adopt of tolerating raffles and lotteries at bazaars and sales of gifts." The Wairarapa Star says:— -A young lady of Masterton, who had a great abhorrence of children, was married two years ago. She is now the mother of five. She first gave birth to triplets and afterwards twins. A young woman who was the victim of a practical joke has been admitted to the Christchurch Hospital. She was about to sit down, when a chair was pulled away by a younger member of the family, and she fell on to the floor. As the result of this trick she is now suffering, from severe bruises and concussion of the spine. The police raided a billiard-room : kept by a young man named Joseph Burke, in Upper Willis street, Wellington, early on Sunday morning, and arrested the proprietor and thirteen others. Burke wjjjg^^^^ charged with keeping a gaminghouse and the others with being frequenters of it without lawful excuse. , „ Messrs Gorton and Son publish to-day an announcement of an important sale on behalf of Mr Henry Sanson, who is relinquishing dairying. The sale will be held on June 20th. Two miners have returned to Perth from a now find, situated to the eastward of Coolgardie, and it is alleged that they brought 10.000 ounces of gold with them. A woman named Spence poisoned herself nnd five children with carbolic acid at Maryborough, Brisbane. All died with the exception of an infant. It is stated that a solicitor in private practice in Wellington has been instructed by Ministers to draft a new Native Land Court Bill to consolidate and nmend the existing legis alion on the subject. ... At the silting of the Licensing Committee in Palinersten a petition, signed by 12 resi dents at Ashurst, was presented. The petitioners objected to the granting of more than two licenses in that township on the grounds that the number of licensed premises was in excess of the requirements of the public and that three hotels were adjacent to the Anglican Church and School, and would therefore be a bad example for the children. Henry Irving's season of 28 weeks in America brought him in gross receipts £119,138. Who would not be a popular actor manager ? An extraordinary affair has beeri reported to the Darwin authoritiss. A man passing the local cemetery early in the morning heard a noise inside, and on making investigation found a woman smashing the headstone above her dead husband's grave with a hammer. No motive is known for her strange freak, but she- had threatened to accomplish it several times. j. The death is announced of a very old resident of Palmer ston, Mr James Wiltsher, The deceased was possessed of considerable property, and it is stated that his will leaves the bulk of this to th« Palmerston Hospital. At Auckland a young woman named Mary Jane Black was charged on Saturday with having threatened to poison her illegitimate child. The Magistrate ordered the accused to find £20 sureties to keep the peace against herself, as the evidence showed she had threatened to make away with herself. He held no evidence to prove the threat to poison the child. Peers nowadays are not above adding to their incomes by any employment not absolutely. menial (says St.James Gazette), but Lord Teynham is probably the first of his order to seek the smiles of fortune in a solicitor's office. His Lordship, who succeeded to the peerage in 1892, and is now in his 27th year, has just served his articles, passed the requisite examinations, and has been put on the rolls. He will start practice in the city, where a prosperous career doubtless awaits him. His family, the V llopers of Kent, can be traced back to the time of Edward III. ; but the ancestor from whom the holders of the barony claims descent was, as it happens, an eminent lawyer, holding the office of prothonotary of the King's Bench in the reign of Henry VIII. Upon his grandson Christopher the barony was conferred by James I. On the death of the thirteenth baron without issuWn 1824, the peerage went to the grandson o) the tenth baron, and, his mother being • descendant of Walter Devereux, Viscount Hereford, the subsequent peers quarter the arms of Thomas Plantaganet, Dujto of Gloucester, with, th,ejy own.
