Mr George- Gray has received jihe. appointment iw manager of {he Fo*ron Creamery. _ On Sunday afternoon this district was visited by violent Btoims of hail, rain and some snow. On Monday morning the whole of the ranges were covered with snow to even the sloping lands leading up to them. . To-night the tea and sooial at the Public. Hall will be held, also a. sale of work.' Visitors must not forget to take ohange. On Friday nominations for Councillors for the Borough mast be in the hands of the Returning Officer. The Otaki Licensing Committee hold their quarterly meeting at Otaki on Friday. Candidates for a Councillorship should take up the Library question. We feel certain that the cost of the management i? far in excess of what it should be, And some early alteration is needed. Whpn the Mihister for Labour talked of " carrying the war " of tariffs to New South' Wales, Captain Bussell twitted him with/advocating the cessation of all reprisals in the labour world, and advocating reprisals in the commercial world. The mother of Gpneral Bouianger died the other day in Paris, aged ninety-two. She was kept in ignorance of the death of her son, whom she believed to be leading a victorious party. On Saturday night a very heavy fall of snow ocourred on the ranges, and on Sunday morning the snow was seen lower down than has been known for years, thefirst small range having snow on the ' top, and in some places more than half-way down it.

i Cutting the Gorclian toot/The Hawke's Bay set tiers h"ave been complaining of the difficulty in catching the Sheep Inspector at his office in Napier. They have been somany times and found it closed, with we suppose the ancient legend " will be back in five minutes " on the door. The matter has been faced and now a notice \s affixed on the door that the office will be closed uutil- February ! In Chrietchurch the engagement has been announced of Miss Babington to Mr P. C. Cunningham. It was " Cherry Day " at the Foundling Hospital, London, on Sunday the 3th July, so called because upon the occasion of the annual festival Sunday, upon which the morning service in ihe chapel is attended by the old boys and girls of the foundation, the inmates are regaled with cherrieß after their midday refection. The Bishop of Chester (the right Rev. Dr. Jayne) was the special preacher. A little financial trouble which caused the closing of a bank in Arizona, is accounted for by this notice, posted on the bank doors i — " This bank is not busted ; it owes the people 36,000d015. ; the people owe it 55,000d015. ; it is the people who are busted • when they pay, we'll pay." A subscription open to all Frenchwomen, has been 9tarted with the object of presenting M°dame Caruot with a mark of sympathy on the part of her country-women in the terrible trial to which she has been subjected, tn order that the affair may be of national extent, it has been decided that all donations, however small, shall be accepted. On Saturday Messrs McMillan, Khodes & Co. will sell by auction at their sale rooms a quantity of household furniture the property of Mr Joseph Wilson. Tile Minister of Education is reported to. have replied to a question "There can be no good reason why, when a child removes from one district to another, its. parents should be burdened with the cost of an entirely new set of school-books." This is one thing to say and would appear reason- . able if the Minister would make regulations to secure it being practicable. Just now each Education Board ha.vtfHlieir own' Bet of school books and a child miist have the books in use at the school to which he is removed. Why does not some member of the House ask the Minister what steps he intends to to take to avoid this expense ? A queer place for a tree to grow ! In Lincolnshire, a fine church built of stone with a square embattled tower, has on the top a healihy beech tree 12 feet high, growing on the stone work. It is supposed the seed must have been carried there by a bird. In another column notice is given that the entire horse General Havelock will travel this district. This horse took several first prizes in the Marlborongh district and two of his stock took first prizes at the last Palmerston show. Horse breeders will probably note theße facts. One of the worst spells j>i weather experienced in Wellington for some time past commenced on Saturday morning, says the Tiwr.s. About 11 o'clock the wind suddenly changed to the south-west, and heavy showers of rain fell. In the afternoon a gale was blowing from the south-east, accompanied by a downfall of rain and sleet, which about 4 o'clock changed to snow. The weather was the coldest experienced for years. Shortly before 6 o'clock the rain ceased, and the night was fine, though cold. All Sunday- morning a strong and cold south-west wind was blowing, and in the afternoon a storm of hail and snow commenced. The flakes of snow were not of auy appreciable size, but a considerable quantity fell throughout the city, and the tops of the hills immediately surrounding Wellington were quite white. Heavy rain afterwards set in, and the wind blew wi h great violence. In the evening vivid flashes of lightening occurred, with thunder. A heavy sea was running outside, and in the harbour. From the South the news is snow, here, there, and everywhere. The Secretary to the Post Office invites tenders for luland Mail Services for 1895 and 1896. Sealed tenders will be received uui il Monday the Bth October. Certainly the most effective medicine in the world is Sanders and Son's Eucalypti Extract.

Any attempt to enumerate even a tithe of the cheap lines notf-afe tha#U«po9al of customers, would be worsfetban: ÜBaleas in the space-aY our command, but" a price' list which has been printed will be aent, post free, to the address of any person applying to the Wholesale Drapery -Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington. . : With a view, jot making , this sale the event of the year, two Bpeoial buyers were despatched from Te Aro House, one to -.attend the great sale of Edwards, Bennett & Cos. wholesale stock, and the other to pick out bargains from the manufactures of the, well known- Paiapoi Woollen 00. Both these gentlemen 'have returned after a most successful trip, and the total result of their pfforts is to be seen in the astonishing bargains now being Fold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington. Sixty eight cases and packages of new and seasonable- good for all departments have now been opened out for present season at the Bon Marche, and it is freely admitted that no such ohoioe is obtainable in the district. Buyers are invited to make their selections early while first choice of this magnificent range of new goods is still obtainable at The Bon Marche. Boss and Sandford.— Advt. "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good " is a very old saying but none the less ttfbe." Whilst the great depression existing at Sydney at the present time, has caused a deplorable amount of misery, yet the people of Wellington and the sur rounding districts will reap a gigantic benefit. During his visit to Sydney recently, Mr James Smith purchased at absurdly low prices a large stock which is now being sold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington.
