Manawatu Herald. SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1895.

On Wednesday the Marton Mercury noted that it had been decided to discontinue the publication of it after the current week. The reason appears obvious by the continuation of the notice that "all accounts due to the company must be paid by the 21st June or they will be placed in the hands of a solicitor for collection." Thus is another illusion dispelled. Wednesday next the annual meeting of the Otaki Licensing meeting will be held at Otaki. The Borough Council meets for business on Monday evening, when tenders must be in. Abyssinia is about to have for the first time a coinage of its own. Hitherto the only coin current has been the Maria Theresa thaler. The new silver coin is of the same value, and bears on one side the head of King Menelik crowned with the tiara, with the legend "Menelik 11., King of Kings of Ethiopia ;" on the other side is the figure of a crowned lion holding across in his paw, with the inscription, " conquering lion of the tribe of Judah," as Menelik asserts that Abyssinia is the Sheba of the Bible, and that he himself is descended from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. On the rim of the coin is inscribed " Ethiopia lifts her hand to God alone." The design was made by Lagrange, of the Paris mint. Owing to the rise in wheat, the price of the 41b loaf has been raised to ssd cash, and Cd credit in Duuedin.

The Wellington Government organ says that Mr Reeves "is greatly pleased with his visit to the State Farm at Levin. Four hundred and ten acres of land have been cleared of bttsli and sown in grass, which is coming up promisingly;" in fact the grass is coming up very much after the fashion of Ministers. The real gist of all this is how much per acre has it cost up to the present ? When we know that we may all be greatly pleased, but it is doubtful. Ml 1 Rat has been instructed by Dr Dernier to sue immediately for all outstanding Recounts. The pifctie of land described in the Commissioner of Crown Lands' advertisement as section 51, Mount Ttob''n«dii Brh'vey district; fj.p'jteav's, fl'om the plans, to be Wnal Used to be known as the Moutoa ferry reserve, and is situated in the Messrs Strang's paddock, on the bank of the liver near Mr Mitchell's old residence. The term is for 14 years, but the rent £11 i7s 5d appears prohibitive-. Sad, is it not ? The Minister for Labour irtade " The Shops and Shop Assistants Act " to come into force on the first day of this year, but, in the Act it directed that the time for the compulsory closing of the shops should come into force in " January next I" Mr Northcroft, the Auckland S.M. has given judgment to this effect, holding that section 9 of the Statute was not yet in operation. A very awkward hitch in the Horowhenua case has arisen. The Post reports the individuals who had orders executed ftud awaiting confirmatfdii Were informed by the presid ng Judge of the Native Land Court that he had received a communication from the Native Land Purchase Commissioner instructing him not to deal with any of the cases. It was ultimately found that the Government had discovered in the archives of the Native Department — probably in the raking-up of forgotten files which has gone on for some time past in connection with the hui'rying of Departments from room to room of the Di-part-riientiil Buildings— ii ldng-i'orgotteu aud disregarded Proclamation of 1887, giving the Government pre-emptive right of purchase over the Whote blodc. Sd completely forgotten was this, and so absolutely has it been allowed to remain a dead letter, that the Laud Transfer Office has gone on registering titles and transfers for years past in respect of the land proclaimed ; and now all who have been dealing with these lands in good faith find their titles threatened, and all dealings of any kind with their lands stopped. To-morrow's services at the Melhodist Church will be conducted by the Rev. S Barnett. Evening subject— "'Tile ascended Christ and the descended Spirit." The vicar of All Saints will hold morning service with celebration of the Holy Communion at Foxton, and evening service at Shannon. There will be a children's service at Foxton in the afternoon at 2.30. The timber for the new Anglican Church at Campbelltown is being carted on to the ground by Mr Merrett, and building operations will be begun as soon as practicable, says the Advocate. On Wednesday a man named James Gibson, working at the State Farm, Leviu, was accidentally killed, a tree falling upon him. The man was at woi'k when a tree which was being grubbed fell, aud a branch struck him on the head. He was attended within a few minutes of the accident by Dr Lewevs, who ordered his removal on a stretcher, but while he was being carried in death ensued. The deceased is a widower. His son ia a driver on the Manawatu Railway. The Premier of N.S. Wales (Mr Reid) has cabled to the Agent-General to inform the Marquis of Ripon ('Secretary of State for the Colonies) that the Governorship of New South Wales is too important a post to justify protracted delay, and added that if no one in the Mother Country is eligible or willing to occupy the position, " we are quite prepared to make a suitable suggestion from amougst our own people." Who is to get the billet ? Some of the Wellington citizens intend presenting the Premier with an address on his birthday, the 22nd June. On aud after the Ist of June the Post and Telephone Office now known as Pohangina will be named Palmers. From the same date the designation of the office at Pohangina township will be Pohangina. On Saturday, 2nd March, the Pope entered upon his 80th year and the 18th year of his Pontificate. 3 There is a rumour in town that the price of bread was to be raised to-day, but on inquiring at Mr Kerr's we find he has no intention of doing so at present.
