Manawatu Herald. SATURDAY, SEPT. 8, 1894.

The popular event, the Palmerston A. <fe P. Show, is to be held on October 24th and 25th, being a little earlier than in former years. It is stated that Te Touku, otherwise known as Mahuta Tawhiao, second son of Tawhiao by his first wife, will be his sue- . cessor in the Kingship. The Wellington Press is the authority for the following par : —On dii that Mr Seddbn will shortly be invested with the Chief Commisßionership of Railways, and that Sir Eobert Stout will become Premier .and leader of the Liberal Party. " It would be a great thing for the colony if the Minister of Education and Labor were a little more practical and a little less theoretical."— Mr Meredith, a Government supporter. " The Minister of Education is riding for a fall."— Mr G. W. Russell, another Ministerialist. . , There is a prospect of coal being worked in Nelson before many weeks" have passed. An outcrop of coal has been discovered in the Brook St. Valley, and samples that have been burned have been favorably reported on, and in consequence a company has been formed to thoroughly test the character of the Beam and work the same. There seems every prospect of the enter-

Mr Tennyson Smith, the temperance lecturer, had a bad experience at Daylcsford (Vie.) last week. His opponents swing "Rule Britaiiniai" .and po prevented his getting a hejuiiig. Me got angry with the. police because they did not enforce silence at his command. Next evening an audience of the " right, sort"' rolled npi i»-mt Ml ; Smith carried all before him, while his ad- > mirers passed a vote of censure on the police, who (says the previous day's report) threatened to prosecute the lecturer for using abusive language; t On the wfrylidnie from the lecture Mr Smilh was pelted with rotteu eggs ; so his visit to Daylesford may be said to have had a stirring-up effect on the townspeople. Nominations to fill the three vacancies in the Borough Council were declared by Mr Gibson, the Betuvriirig Officer, to be as. follows; — Robert Austin, nominated by John Purcell and 'George Hughes; George Hughes, by Philip Joseph .HenriessJ And Jphn Pureell ; Tlioriias Westwood, by Thomas Phillips Williams and Frederick B. Jenks; Henry Bradcock, by John Robert McMillan and Edmund Osborne (informal.) The Returning Officer declared Messrs Austin, Hughes and Westwood the newlyelected Councillors. A. little interest was evinced in the proceedings by those present, as an election was expectpd, but the error of an elector to affix his name to the nomination paper correctly, upset these calculations. A farmer living near Levin recently lost forty lambs in one night through the ravages of stoats and weasels, there being simply a puncture on the throat and shoulder to show how the pests had done their deadly work. The loss of fowls by such means is becoming quite common. Mr D. Liing's Junction Hotel at Sanson narrowly escaped destruction by fire last Monday evening. The origin of' the fire is supposed to )>e through one of the girls leaving a candle in one of the bedrooms, and somehow some clothes caught fire. The fire was extinguished before much damage .was done. Further additions to Gorton & Son's stock sale for Tuesday next are advertised. The Returning Officer notifies the election of the three Councillors for the Borough to-day. Thus the Manawatv Weekly, the new paper published at Palmerston : — " Our readers will ohserve that we issue this week under the nameof ' The Manawatu Weekly.' In adopting the name ' Herald ' we did not anticipate that we were trespassing on any other paper in existence, and we hava no desire to clash with any of our neighbours. We wish the journal which goes by that name long life and prosperity." Thanks. At the Morton races on Wednesday, The Artist (Somnus-Lady Artist) accomplished a really first-class performance by appropriating the two hack flat events on such a heavy course. The Artist is a greatly improved colt, and while in the hands of such a capable horseman as Mi'T. Cameron, will be heard of to advantage during the coming season. The champion fat ox at the recent Brisbane exhibition, the live weight of which wa.s 22;>41b., was bought at auction for £151. Here's another: — Tung William, the biggest horse in the world, died recently in America. He was 27J hands high, and weighed 30271 b. John Restall was brought before the Magistrate's Court at Napier on Thursday morning charged with attempting to murder by means of arsenic 10 employes on Potnka station. Accused, who in about 54 years of age, was remanded for a week. The schoolhouse at Oroua Bridge, which was destroyed by fire on Tuesday, was valued at £100, and the furniture, etc., at £50. There was no insurance, and the Education Department have therefore suffered a loss of £150. The schoolmaster, Mr Stonehouse, states that when he left the the schoolroom in the afternoon apparently everything was safe, and he is at a loss to understand how the fire originated. The committee held a meeting to consider what arrangements should be made in reference to obtaining a temporary building for school purposes. It was resolved to apply to Mr Pascal for the use of an empty house on his station near the bridge. The building is situated about a quarter of a mile from the railway station, and will not cause much inconvenience to the scholars. Shou d the committee be successful in their efforts to obtain this building, the school will be re-opened on Monday. Mr Spencer, the inspector, proceeded to Oroua Bridge on Thursday to make some necessary arrangements in regard to again opening the school, as Mr Pascal has since granted the request of the Committee. — Standard. This morning a man named W. Hansen, working at Messrs Bartholomew's mill at Levin got thrown from his horse, aud his back much hurt. His mates carried him to the township to await the arrival of Dr Dermer. The N.Z.L. & M. A. Co. announce in this issue the dates of their forthcoming series of wool sales. On Wednesday Messrs Mcßeath & Tompsitt have arranged to have the horses Langdale and Tommy Dodd, at Whyte's Hotel for the inspection of horse owners.

Trust in this approved article and eject all others.- — [advtp.] With all these advantages in purchasing, it would be strange indeed if the sale was not one to be remembered. Any attempt to enumerate even a tithe of the cheap lines now at the disposal of customers, would be worse than useless in the space at our command, but a price list which has been printed will be sent, post free, to the address of any person applying to the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington.

" It's an ill wind that blows nobody good " is a very old saying but none the less true. Whilst the great depression ex-isting-at Sydney at the present time, has caused,^ deplorable amount of misery, yet the -people --or- Wellington and the surI rounding districts will reap a gigantic beneI fit. During his visit to Sydney recsntly, Mr James Smith purchased at absurdly low prices a large stock which is now being sold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro Houae, Wellington. ,

With a view of making this sale the event of the year, two special buyers were despatched irdm te Aro House, one to attend the great sale of Edwards, Bennett .& Go's; wholesale stock, and the other to pick out bargains from tha manufactures of the well known Rdiftp'oi Wdolleri Co. Uotli these gontlempn have returned after a most successful trip, and the total result of their efforts is to be seen in the astonishing bargains now being sold At the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse^ Te Arb House, Wellington.
