" lite in tlie young dog yet," as Saturday's issue of th.c Mercery anndiihces that it will be published as usual until otherwise artnoun'iiedi Whit Monday, yesterday, is not one of the peculiar holidays observed by the banks in this colony, as it is one of the few established bank holidays in England. In the Old Country the banks only keep Good Friday, Easter Monday, Whit Monday; the ! first Monday in August and Christmas, and the fallowing day* they have omitted^ all deference to the mftny iteSfleetabie Saints known to the bankers of New Zealand. Amongst the civil actions set down for hearing at the present sittings of the Wellington Supreme Court is Kebbell v. Jillet, a claim of £550 for damages by fire, The Petl publishes further researches into the ttovowhenua question, and arrives at the conclusion that the attempt under the. resurrected notice to shake Land Transfer titles executed since it was made, must therefore prove absolutely abortive. Notice was advertised in the Palmerston papers that a petition for the winding up of the Longburu Slaughtering and Freezing Company, Limited, was presented to the Chief Justice, and he has directed it to be heard oil the 31st of last month. The works were on Thursday taken possession of by the mortgagees, the National Mortgage and Agency Company. The amount of the mortgage is about £13,500. Whitsuntide is a movable feast, being always exactly seven weeks after Easter. Whitsuntide is also a Scotch quarter day, but fixed by Act as being on the 15th May. Mr Thomas Crump, solicitor, has a card in to-day's issue notifying that he visits the Foxton and Otaki Courts. Tenders are invited by the Borough Council for cutting manuka on the Moutoa Road. Nominations for the seat vacated by Mr R. Austin, on the Borough Council, are called for by the Returning Officer. Mr J. G. Wilson, who keeps up with the requirements of the district wrote to- th. Department of Agriculture asking the Minister to put a substantial bonus of £10,000 upon the estimates for the development of the means of dressing flax, and has received the following reply from the Secretary : — " I shall bring the matter before the Minister. I may say, however, that the old amount is again to*be~ offered. The Magistrate holds his usual Court on Thursday, which will probably not be held till 2 p.m. Yesterday John Bun 1 had a case against some natives for illegal impounding, Messrs McMillan and Williams J's P. heard the case. The result was in favour of Burr, who succeeded in his objection to the claim of ten shillings per head made for trespassing on unf enced land. Some of the newest evening dresses in London have hand-painted satin skirts. One of the Central School boys, who lives at Port, picked up a piece of stone on the foreshore, near low water mark, close to the Marine Baths, and being struck by some glittering particles, he submitted it to Mr Worley, one of the masters, says the Nelson Mall. Mr Worley, who has been connected with the School of Mines, crushed the stone, and was astonished to find that it revealed splendid indications of gold. So rich, indeed, was the crushing, that every effort will be made to discover where this stray bit of stone came from. A payable reef has been struck in Lansell's mine, Bendigo, at a depth of 3100 feet. This is the deepest payable discovery ever made in Australia. The Governor of the Bank of England, Mr A. G. Sandeman, bears public testimony to Mr Ward's financial ability, and says that hia good judgment has assisted New Zealand to regain a position of first-class credit on the London money market. The artesian well bore is down 540 ft., the bore evidently having gone through a raupo swamp. The bore is still through hard sandstone, and Mr Gilberd still expects to get water when he gets through the bed.— Woodville Examiner.
