No doubi our"' contemporary is correct, but we should not have been so discourteous as to have said it. A statement made by ihetftirmw wa3 mentioned by us a9^iftv|pg been contradicted by Mr Sluckey, ana opw the--.Fp.nner says ;— " The Foxton editor'^lfdultlftnd something, better to jy rite about *-^rtli"an -wliai appears in 'Jhe Fanner 1 ■-'■■' : '•"• Beekiise- the Manawatu Railway Gompauywould only agree to find high-side waggons for the conveyance of school children by rail the Shannon committe decided not to make a trip to Paikakariki. The West Coast Mail haß discovered that the building doing duty as a Court house at Otaki, is " unsightly, unsavoury, and unsafe." Hear, hear. We have previoualy remarked on its many shortcomings, and shall be glad to hear of a decent building being erected. The attendance of scholars at the Foxton school is keeping well up, Tuesday the largest yet recorded — 222. That " pound of flesh," the hundred yards of gravel which had to be supplied by Mr H. Coley, for gravel taken for his metalling contract for the County, has been laid on the Moutoa : roadj -but the difficulty, like money how, is where to find it. Two cases of job lines in print-?, sateen twills, eretons, &c, have been opened up by Messrs Loveday Bros., and will be bfferred very cheap. Pronounced "hostility." A Bchdblmaster told one of his scholars," an Irish lad, to spell, "hostility." " H o*&e, horse," began yonngP*t. ."Not " horse-tiiity," 'L md the teacher," but hostility." " Shure" | replied Pat, " an 1 didn't ye - tell me the j other day not to say ' hoas ?' Be jabbers, it's one thing wid ye one day and aoitber thenizt." . .

"Liberty." We publish in another column Sir Robert Stout's view of what is liberty, and we have also received " Liberty," the Journal of the National Association of New Zealand, which is published to promote the cause of true liberty. We heartily weloome it and trust it may bo successful in its efforts. It says : — The questions the people of New Zealand have to a3k themselves are : " Whether or not they desire to be led and governed by shams and clap-trap ?"' and " whether or not they are prepared to demand, with insisianp.e, sound policy and thoughtful legislation for the whole of ' the people ' of this colony." VVe advocate proper subordination of private rights to the general good, but also the greatest possible individual liberty, consistent with the interests of the community. Mr Derthelsen, overseer of the Public Works Department, is now in charge of the Stale farm at Levin. The Hutt County Council reso'ved " That in the opinion of this Council there is no necessity, far the Government to introduce a Fair Kent Bill, and that such interference between landlord and tenant is mischievous." The Post says the Bank of New Zealand has determined to close its agency at Kaikoura, and there will, therefore, be no Bank in that town nnleas pome other institution steps into the field. " At the annual, election of throe members of the Wangimui Education Board on Monday the following votes were polled : — Gilbert .Carson, 65; James H. Fry, 60; John Boss, 54; C. Bobbins, 29; Joseph Mayo, 24. The first three were declared elected. At the last meeting of the Horowhenua County "Council surfaceman Harnish recmved one month's notice of the termination of his engagement with the Council. Mr Speaker Peel, of the Honso of Commons, intends to retire at an early date, being unable lo longer stand the strain of the position. He'will receive a peerage in recognition 'of-his services. It is believed that the Government will support Mr Arnold Motley. Hostraaster-General, a3 his 'successor. ..-,.■ .

A system of barter is I 'irregularly pursued, no.es of the T'nion Bank being taken in exchange for provisions. But no regular business is done. Every day new firms are closing up; every day the area of the disaster is becoming greater. The:c is no work or prospect of any.
