The meeting of the parishioners of All Saints' Church, Foxton, was held as advertised on Tuesday night, and was very fairly attended. Mr Thomas Wilson occupied the chair ..as Minister's churohwarden. After much discussion it was agreed that the congregation could find the sum of £100 for the clergyman's stipend for 1895. The ladies, always most helpful in church matters believed that the shortage in subscriptions could be found: in other ways, and a meeting will be called whioh will be notified at next Sunday's service. Mr and Mrs William G. Robinson and family h*vt r«(oio«4 (9 r«iid« in Fexton.

Some of our contemporaries are in a hurry in publishing the clause in the new Bating Act empowering the local bodies to charge ten per cent, interest on all rates unpaid within six months of their being struck. A perusal of the last clause of the Act may perhaps prove to them that their haste in reading the Act has led them to give publicity to an erroneous statement. All rates struck up to the 31st March next are to be treated as though the Act had not passed. Some time ago oul 1 excellent Premier seriously proposed to take over the management of Samoa, It was suggested at the time that he liiust have made the proposal upon very insufficient data, but the Opposition journals were rebuked for imagining such a vain thing. The Wellington Government organ makes many ugly rushes without much reflection, and yesterday fully showed how much more correct the Opposition were in their estimate of the character of the Premier, than those whose chief duty appears to be to applaud all and everything he does or says. In a report of an interview with the Hon. Mr Ward, this is how the Premier is given away : — " What he did say in the House on the occasion referred to was that it would be advantageous to New Zealand if such an opportunity were given during the recess of visiting Samoa in the Hinemoa as was afforded when the Government steamer visited many other islands of the Pacific ; as much interest had arisen in. connection therewith, while really little or nothing was known of that particular group. He still entertained that opinion, and had not changed his views in any way upon the matter," Knowing little or nothing of the Samoan group, our Ministry seriously proposed to manage it ! ! ! Yesterday Mr T. P.;Williams was nominated for the office of Mayor of Foxton by Messrs Andrew Jonson and Patrick Guerin. It has all resulted as we predicted : Mr Williams has had a " walk-over " for the Mayoralty. The " other party " thought discretion the better part of valour, and failed to put in an appearance. It is well, as Mr Williams deserved the compliment paid him. The contractor for lowering the sand cuttings is making a good start, and we hope he will make just as good an ending. The entries for Messrs Gorton & Son's Marlon sale are advertised to-day. The Lawn Tennis Club are always striving after the best of courts. Ono of the old clay conrts is now receiving a two inch coating ot sand and tar mixed, under the impression that this will harden like asphalt, but we very much doubt it. Messrs Gorton and Son hold a sale at Feilding tomorrow. The amount that has been promised towards the erection of a church at Campbelltown is £167 103. A plan has been approved of, to seat 150 persons at a cost of £250. The war now9 of the hostilities between China and Japan is costiug the English newspapers a very large amount of money. Every word telegraphed from Chiaa oosts seven shillings and sixpence, and from Japan half a guinea. Mr Allan, who was working here a short time ago, has written from North Freemantle to a friend of his in town, and says after six weeks' experience he sees he had better have stayed where he was. He finds the climate very trying, it being very hot in the morning and very cold in the evening. He considers it would be a good way of serving your enemies out by sending them there, as there is no such thing as saving enough money to get away again. Mr Percy Collins, of the Oroua Bridge, intends leaving by first steamer on a long trip to the Old Country. We wish him a pleasant voyage and a safe return. To-night the Salvation Army exhibit the lime-light views at their barracks. All should go. How much reason ? The N. Z. Times asserts " That the islands (Samoan) can be governed from New Zealand better than from Downing-street, or Berlin, or Washington, stands to reason." Yet the Colonial Treasurer assorts that not only the Ministry, but aho the people of the colony know little or uothing of this group. Mr Gladstone, it is said, owes his splendid health to the faot, obeying the wisdom of in9tinot, so rarely known to err, he gives thirty- two bites to every morsel he swallows. Liebrioh, the famous oculist, is quoted as the authority for the statement that Turner, the artist, become colour blind ; and he added that, if some of his later pictures are looked at through a blue- tinted glass, the true colouring of nature appears restored. This morning Thomas Mein appeared before the Police Court charged with refusing to leave the Club Hotel, Shannon, on 29th October, and was found guilty and fined 5s and costs, 7s. A similar charge against Edward Johnston was dismissed. Mr Cronin, the contractor for the metalling on the Moutoa road advertises for teams. Mons Paul Blouet says "Of all the geese that pass for swans in the colonies, the Southern Cross is the biggest." " John Oliver Hobbes " who is, however, a lady, says "If London were swept with grape shot from one end to the other, or a mouse appeared in the Advanced Woman's presenoe, what would beoome of her ? She would' call upon Man to defend her, and "slate" him afterwards for his savagery in The New Gazette." Only the other day the Sin Oteclicatva, one of the oldest Russian newspapers, wrote : — " The principal and most dan. gerous foe of Bussia has always been and always will be England, and prior to settling our account with Germany and Austro-Hungary we shall have to deal a deadly blow at the colonial power of the proud and presumptuous ruler of the waves." What is described as " the persistent way in which dairymen continue to milk old eows, and after they are worn out to foist them on someone else," is condemned by W. O'Brien, Koroit, Victoria, who Ba y ß :_•< My cure is— after a cow has been milked for three or four seasons, get her speyed about ten days after calving. She will then milk for, say, two years. A cow, after being, speyed, has milked four years, to my knowledge. The animal will also improve in condition and give better milk, and when finished she will be nearly fit for the butcher. There is also another matter— the class of bulls kept for use, I think the Agricultural Society ought to take this matter up, and compel every breeder to keep nothing but approved bulls, under a penalty that may be agreed on by all the societies in the colony."

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 prioe list whioh has been printed will be sent, post free, to the address of any person applying to the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington.

Aorangi and lonic. The selection to choose from is without doubt one of the finest on this coast, while the values are superior to most houses, and equal to the very best obtainable in the colony. They invite inspection of their present season's show of general drapery, dress goods, mantles, blouses and millinery, <fec. , &c. Boss and Sandford— Advt. "With a view of making this sale the event of the year, two special buyers were despatched from Te Aro House, one to attend the great sale of Edwards, Bennett & Co's. wholesale stock, and the other : to pick out bargains from the manufactures of the well-known Kaiapoi Woollen Co. Both these gentlemen 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 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 existing at Sydney at the present time, has caused a deplorable amount of misery, yet the people of Wellington and the surrounding 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.
