Manawatu Herald. THURSDAY, DEC. 5, 1895.

Mass will be held on Sunday at Foxton at 8 a.m. and at Shannon at 11 a.m. Morocco is to be pitied. The descent of the Arab cavalry on to Saffi and the looting of the Engliah merchant's houses will be charged to its door. As a fact the semiindependent tribes around the Empire are ruled by their own chiefs and care little for the Sultan of Morocco. Some one must pay, therefore it must be Morocco. The Eovas which have attacked the English mission quarters in the island of Madagascar are tha| governing tribe, and inhabit the central highlands. They have been defeated by the French, who by treaty hold a protectorate over the island. The members of the Manawatu Eoad Board will heave a sigh of relief when they read that Mr Donald Grant, of Eairanga, has sold his farm to Mr F. Nathan. He is leaving the colony. The mail bags lost in the wreck of the s.s. Wairarapa contained 1755 letters, 324 packets, 1414 newspapers and 20 registered letters. Who can tell how much inconvenience and misery this has caused ? Mr Eebbell has been again elected chairman of the Horowhenua County Council. There is a rumour that Sir Walter Buller is going to contest the Otaki seat at the next election in the Government interest ! Could forgiveness go farther ? McNab's gardens at the Hutt are to be sold, Mrs McNab wishing to retire from business. The Manawatu Times says Miss Jagger, who was appointed some weeks ago, commenced her duties at the local Telephone Exchange to-day (Monday.) It is understood that another lady telephonist will be appointed shortly, and the Exchange will then be open from 8 a.m to 8 p.m.

We understand Mr George Hughes scores one with ripe raspberries of the white variety, having had some ripe on Tuesday; Rather ft joke. A contemporary badly posted in the knowledge of the district, manufactured a paragraph making Mr William Nye the coming Mayor ! ! ! Has the manager of the State iWm at fcevin anything to do with failing the pi'ide of the delayed telegrams? Give it up? Of course we cannot be certain, but it looks as though he had, as there is more grass on the farm than the Government can at present buy stock for, and he advertises grazing to let !! ! Evidence of llioiley being wanted. t Contractors from time to time get unenviable characters. Just fancy, the wrettih who had the supplying of preserved meat ill tins for the fttonklin Arctic expedition, calculated that he would never come back and so packed some of the tins with stones ! This was found out by one of the search parties. Before any steps could be taken the contractor left England. To-morrow the first of the Usual three wpo^sftles of the season Will be held in Wellington by the N.Z. Loan and M. A. Co., Ld. The Moss Lake Fruit Company in America own 900 acres of land and have 40,000 peach trees, 10,000 grape vines, and 4000 pear and plum trees. At the Hamilton (Victoria) rabbit tinning works during the season which began in February last, 1,000,000 rabbits have been S reserved and tinned. Up to the end of 'ctober 12j950 cases of rabbits had been sent out, and fully 360,000 rabbits had been received by rail, for which £200 had baen paid. The area in sugar beets in France is estimated at approximately 1,300,000 acres, against only 600,000 ten years ago. Fifty thousand to 60,000 hands are employed in the manufacture of sugar. There were 585,436 delayed telegrams sent in 1893-94, and 588,826 in 1894-95. The difference between the two represents all the fuss the Department is making. The ladies' tournament in the Lawn Tennis Club has been brought to a close, Miss Whyte having defeated Mrs Stewart. The usual quarterly meeting of the Otaki Licensing Committee will be held at Otaki to-morrow. The arbitration case Kebbell v. Jillett has resulted in a verdict for Kebbell for £84. The costs, £167, to be divided. Large additions are made to Messrs Gorton and Son's Feilding sale, which will be held to-morrow. On Tuesday Messrs Gorton & Son's sale at Bulls will be held, and on Wednesday the firm hold a special horse sale at Bulls. Messrs Abraham and Williams hold a horse sale at Palmerston on Saturday, The entries are large and of a useful stamp of anunaU In pursuance of instructions issued by the International Supreme Lodge of the G. T. Order, and adopted by the Grand Lodge of New Zealand, the local Good Templars hold an open meeting df their lodge this evening in the Masonic Hall. It has been arranged, we are informed, that this present week throughout the Englishspeaking temperance world should be devoted to the cause of missions. Not in the sense of religious foreign missions, but in quite another sense, which those who may be disposed to attend the meeting will doubtless be made acquainted with. Admission is free, and all are cordially invited. No mischief, at any rate until after 'Xinas, for Mr Ehodes to do. How's that ? Because he will be so busy selling his stock of new fi'uitsi We all know the old adage of idle hands, so this is thus. When the rush ceases from time to time Mr Ehodes will insure a house or sell a newspaper or make money in some manner or another. Call and worry him will be the correct style.

Trust in this approved article and eject all others. — [advt.] One of the drawbacks of country life, at least to the small settler, is undoubtedly the increased price he has to pay for any articles of clothing or general drapery, by reason of the extra charges for freight or carriage. This drawback need exist no longer, for extra charges are done away with under the new parcel system which has been inaugurated at Te Aro House, Wellington. Under this system any of the parcels advertised will be sent to any address in New Zealand, post free, the prices charged being exactly the same as those at which the goods are sold over the counter in Wel- ■ lington. As may be imagiued, however, this liberal offer is only extended to cash customers, and all orders for advertised parcels must be accompanied by cash for the amount, before the order can be executed at Te Aro House, Wellington. In illustration of the system we will give an example. Take for instance No. 7 parcel, which contains 7 yards of double width stylish fancy check tweed ; 2 dozen buttons and silk and twist to match ; 2 yards of body lining and 4 yards of skirt lining. This complete parcel will be sent, post free, to any address on receipt of 15s 9d, from Te Aro House, Welh'ngton.
