I Mr Edmund Osborne's altered advertisement appears on the fir3t page, and we direct attention to it, for Mr Os borne has a way, all his own, of announcing facts to the public.

Somebody appears to have gone wrong about a horse. A (lay or two n«o a townsman purchased a good looking horse for £14, from one who was unknown to hi-n. Yesterday the horso was claimed as the property of a settler up country, and interest is being taken in the movements of the settler. More will be heard of this deal. To-morrow at the Methodist Church the preachers are Mr E. Westwood and IleV. S. Barhett at 11 and 0.30 respectively. The l?oxton foolbail team left by this morning's train for Palmerston, where they will try Conclusions with one of the local teams there; They are i— A, Shadbolt (captain), H. Savill, L. Cole, H. Austin, G. Chuck, J. Howard, 0. Barber, H. Lyall, A. Delmer, P. and H. Williams, 0. and D. Gardner, S. Beauchamp and N. Heta. Emergency, J. Hana. Mr A. E. T. Nixon, one of the vicepresidents of the Foxton Football Club, has generously presented them with a football. The Supreme Court of Canada has been called upon to declare whether the power to prohibit the sale of liquor rests with the Dominion or with the provinces. The judgment, in effect* is that the Dominion 2an regulate) but not prohibit. ■ The Kgaire correspondent of the Hawera Star writes :— I was talking last week to the chairman of a prosperous butter factory at the north end of the province, and he told me that they were only paying out 2£d at present, and he doubted whether it would be prudent to continue that beyond this month. Mr T. Kirk, has found that the blight which has been seriously injuring the potato crop in Woodville is a species of Microsporima distinct from the English potato rot. It can be easily combatlcd with proper measures, which Mr Kirk is about to describe in a ' Leaflet to Farmers,' to be issued by the Agricultural Department. The most finished negro scho'ar in the world to-day, according to the Boston Transcript, is Edward Wihnot Bryden, who represented Liberia at the Court of St. James. He is a Valued contributor to hiany English magazines, is a linguist of pronounced ability and is one of the most profound thinkers the negro race has yet produced. He is the author of the work entitled " Christianity, Islam and the Nrgro Eac'p," which has had two editions in London. Dr Blyden is a pure negro, without a trace of white blood in his veins. Dtuhroit, a leading Convent Garden fruit merchant, has arranged to receive large shipments of apples from Victoria. The firm hope Government will 2nd it practicable to brand the cases with a Government brand, which will help the sale of the fruit immensely. This portion of a letter written by Mr Gladstone to the Secretary of the Alliance, will be read with interest :— What he thinks of local option is, that it is a sound principle which has every title to be pressed on Parliament, and which will be useful wherever it is adopted. But the mischief of drink is so frightful that he is not willing to trust exclusively to a remedy which he fears may not b9 of wide operation. He thinks that the principle of sale under public authority is defensible ; and it seems to him to be the most hopeful of the methods now attainable for producing benefit on an extended scale. He speaks, of course, according to the latest information he possesses. Thanks to the paternal care of the Government, a portion of the volunteer for the Feilding encampment were landed at the wharf yesterday morning after the usual train had left. A delay occurred until an engine was caught) when a special was ran. It appears, however, that the Government which is so particular as to the care of the " troops " on board ship do not think it worth while to show the same consideration to them when they have the supplying of the accommodation, and our gallant defenders were placed in trucks, like so much cargo consigned to Feilding —Democracy, just now, is loud in speech, but poor in action— the men went in trucks but their fellow-men, the officers, were treated to a passenger-car. Long live humbug. A man named John P. Brown, alias Hare, who sold a horse to B« Spelman, Foxton, on Monday, was arrested this morning at Palmerston, on a warrant issued by the Foxton Bench. He will be brought up at Palmerston on Wednesday. The horse sold is claimed by the manager for the Hon W. W. Johnston at Awahuri. In another column Mr Stansell advertises that he will put a coach on for the Horowhenua Races, should sufficient inducement offer. Those meaning to avail themselves of this offer should acquaint Mr Stansell. The concert that was proposed for next Tuesday, has unfortunately been delayed. Another night will probably be arranged. Certainly the most effective medicine in the world is Sanders and Son's Eucalypti Extract. Test its eminently powerful effect in Coughs, Colds, Influenza ; the relief instantaneous. In serious cases and accidents of all kinds, be they wounds, burns, scalding?, bruises, sprains, it is the safest remedy — no swellings — no inflammation.

Trust in this approved article and eject; all others. — [advt.] Heads of families, storekeepers, settlers | careful housewives, young and old, rich and poor, alike will save heaps of money by making their purchases at the Great Partnership Sale, now going on at Te Aro House, Wellington. To thoroughly reduce and prepare the stock previous to the partnership stocktaking sweeping reductions will be made in all Departments, the stock must be reduced by £15,000, and this splendid Drapery Stock at Te Aro House will be offered to the public at ruoßt tempting prices. Early in the year Mr Smith admits to a partnership in his business a commercial gentlemen who has long been associated with the London buying for Te Aro House. Te Aro Househas long held the premier position as the '• Leading Family Drapery Warehouse," and further developments are now taldng place to inaugurate the year 1895. The announcement made in another parof this paper that a sale of greater magnitude than ever yet attempted by Te Aro House is now being held should arrest the attention of everyone in this part of the Colony.
