.We have received from the agent Messrs T. and W. Young, of Wellington, sample bottle, a very small one, more's tt pity, of Sir John Power & Son's Dubli Whiskey. It is also labelled " Specii Irish." We have always had a tender sp< in our heart for " special Irish " girls an now we have for the whiskey, which n minds us much of them in being soum Boft and true. Sir Charles Cameron, tl County Analyst tot Dublin, says this whi , key has been manufactured from tt finest native malt ; the process of distillei has been skilfully conducted ; it is free froi such natural impurities as ahl^hyd 0 , fu«< oil, &c. ; it is old and mei:o>v. He alt considers it "to be the finest I have ev< examined, possessing good bouquet and c. cell-n f flavour " and so say aU of us— w_ have had the opportunity of sampling it. We forg6t, iv our last issue, to draw a tention to the advertisemt of the Messi Robinson Bros, thanking all those who a siated to extinguish the fire in their pai decks. To-morrow the tenders close for leasir the house and land, the property of M Honore. Yesterday afternoon the engineer-inspe tors appointed by the Government to vie the railways of the colony, Messrs Napii Bell and Hale- , paid a visit to this port 1 special train. They were accompanied 1 Messrs Beattie and Lawson. Havii stayed the night at Whyte's hotel they le by an early special this morning. It is be hoped that during the inspection of tl wharf, note was taken that the shed th used to be on it for the convenience discharging cargo, is now not there, ai this would be a suitable opportunity to < that which has been promised to be doi . so often. • Misfortunes never come singly. Two ■ Mr Stansell's sons have both met with mi * haps, Robert with cutting his foot wiih slasher at Te Horo, and Arthur also fro a similar accident, and are now at horr suffering a recovery. We are glad to he both are doing well.

Dr Wilkinson has been appointed a public vaccinator for the district of Foxton. r We learn that Mi Webster who conducted Presbyterian services at Shannon - some months past, until he was removed to Danevirke, has now been, at his own € request, appointed as a Missionary to t . China. _ j On Satnrday the privileges in connection ' with the Foxton Racing Club meeting will | be sold by auction by Mr . . R. McMillan. , The attempt lo form an Abyssinian well £ , .at Mr Thynne's, has not beeii successful owing to the inrush of the quicksand the E water lies in. choking the pipe. t M- Budd, the junior at the Bank of Australasia, has been removed to Feilding, and . Mr Arthur Thynne has been appointed to i 1 the local office in his place. It-is seriously proposed that Aberdeen should apply to Parliament for power to ' B make an experiment in the ninnicipalisa- ' r lion of the public hotlses. Thfe|_stll seeks j power to refuse th . granting of new licenses | * and to declare after the expiration of five years from the commencement of the Act the right to sell intoxicating liquor by re- ' tail shall vest exclusively with the muni- ] . cipaliiy. ( The Compass Plant in Texas, growing j from three to six feet high, has leaves that point north and south, so lhat the traveller . can tell his direction even at night. This l# fact was denied. But a oareful observer < found the young leaves standing edgewise s to the earth always point north and sonth ; , j but the older leaves, loaded with dust and dew, lose this power and point in all directions. Canon Wilberforce an eminent dignitary of the Church of England, recently said, * " he had the deepest reverence for the community to which he belonged, but the days 6 were coming when the appreciation of a , religious body in this country would not depend upon its long hereditary pedigree, but upon its power of salting the corrup- i . tions of humanity." The Post says Mr W. A. Fitzherbert has been informed that it is intended to re- | appoint him a member of the Wellington Land Board. The term for which Mr F. ,' Pirani, M.H.It., was plfcted expires on ! the 17th instant. It is understood that another resident of the Manawatu district is to occupy the seat. Mr A. W. Hogg's term expires on 13th April. Not a feather in the cap for the Liberal Government. The total number of bankruptcies in the Palmevston D.O.A's. dis- ( triet during 1304 was 51, as against 34 for | 1898, tho increase being 17. | Tank cars are now being used for the transportation of wine in bulk by the ~ Paris-Lyons-Mediterranean Railroad in France. ' The ladies of America prefer the study , of inert. c>'n .fo tha' of th. o'. gy ; fh*re are about 275 ladies in the ministry, but 2,500 are doctors. A sub committee has been appointed by the London County Council to inquire into tho foivign .systems ol' iminicipa- pawnbroking with a vL*w to establishing similar [" institutions. Evidence is lo be taken as ' regards the system at present in vogue in England. On the field of Waterloo a topaz seal set in gold was recently found, bearing the c arms and motto of Viscount Barrington. i» It belonged to Ensign Barrington, who was killed at Quatre Bras, June 16, 1815, and had lain undiscovered for 80 years. £100 is a stiff price lo give for an old postage stamp, but it was cheerfully paid in London for one described as a " Baden, first issue 9k green, error of colour." Thia is stated to be the highest price ever realised for a stamp included in an auction. A French statistician says that the number of men and women in France is more nearly equal than in any other country of the world. Mr W. B. Bhodes' new advertisement • raen'ions lhat his groceries, ironmongery and crockery are to be purchased at cheap rates. Ic? -creams are now to be had on Fridays and Saturdays. Mr J. It. McMillan has for sale a s; stclass Am-. rican organ with seven _t.ps. T On and after the 20th inst. the Foxton ' telegraph office will c<__se to open en Sundays.

Te Aro House has long held the premier i* position as the "Leading Family Drapery ' Warehouse," and further developments are now taking place to inaugurate the year f: 1895.
