Mr H. Coley wanta three good paddockera at once. Tenders are invited by the Manawatu County Council for 64 chains of formation en the Main Drain road near Oroua Bridge. Mrs Whyte yesterday received the sad tidings that hor brother, Mr Frank Taylor, had died. He resided at Oiaki, and leaves a widow and three young children.

The usual sitting of the B.M. Court will be held on Thursday. Mr Akera informs as that he has aocepted the tender of C» Hagan <& Go, of Palraeraton, foil draining at Titfrangi. Our Sandon friends are calling for tenders for the ereotion of an Ang'ican Sunday Sohool. Mr T. D. McGosh, of the Moutoa school, ha i been appointed to succeed Mr RichardBbn as master of the Upokongaro sdhooL *the Pofttal Department has accepted Mr Stansell's tender for the conveyance of the mails from Foxton to Levin.

About 1500 sheep have been poisoned on Gidgee Station, Cobnr, N»w South Wales, through eating a weed called wild parsnip.

The police informs us (the Post) that a gang of Bom» of the cleverest and worst oriminals of Sydney and Melbourne have arrived in Wellington. Other thieves have also been seen about the city. For reasons mentioned elsewhere we are enable to give a report of the discussions that arose at the Council meeting yesterday, but the pubic must not on that account understand there was no talking, (or there was, some of it being rather warm. It is always pleasing to see indomitab'e perseverance meet' with success. Yesterday three Councillors succeeded in engineering the roads near their properties being metalled, even In the face of the first resolution proposing only a portion even of the work having been rejected. In the end the Councillors interested got resolutions put separately and carried. Parliament having come to an end, Hansard haß naturally done so too, and we are now in receipt of Its last number. The Hansard staff, we notice, celebrated the end of their labours by being photographed in a group, an excellent one, which is well printed in the ( hristohurch Press. A true torpedo fish was caught off the western entrance of Kelson harbour last week. Not more than four or five of these fish are recorded as having been captured in New Zealand waters. One of the fishermen who caught the fiah reoeived a powerful clfc'ric shock while attempting to remove it from the net. It is stated that the liquor interests of Wellington have raised £1600 to run their candidates for the e'ections. It is under" stood that Messrs G. Fisher and H. J. Williams (secretary to the Licensed Victuallers Association) will be two of the candidates, but the third is not decided on. The Bishop held a Maori Confirraa ion at All Stiin's' Chircb. this morning, and the Rev. J. MoWilliam interpreted His Lordship's remarks. There were tan male and six female candidates, and one of the pleasure features of the service was the singing of the hymns in the Maori tongue by the Rev. J. MoWilliam and the candidates. 1 We extremely regret to report that Mr Cummerfield reoeived a cablegram from Sydney yesterday advising him of the death of his daughter, Mrs Eva. To the large circle of relations and friends of Mr Cummerfield this sad intelligence has caßt a gloom over, as the deceased lady was one who was beloved by all who knew her. To her husband, and father, and relations we beg to tender our sincere sympathy. M. Turrell, the French Minister of Public Works, opened the new dock at Dunkirk. The new dock, which has taken orer seven years to build, is said to be the largeßt of its kind in the world. It is abont 600 ft long and 80 feet wide, and will I be able to receive the largest vestal afloat at any state of the tide. The work has Co3t upwards of 7,500,000fr. In consequence of Mr Wilson's withdrawal—which, it is hoped, will be merely temporary— 'from pub io life, a number of the residents of the Manawatu Electorate wish to present him with some token of their respect and esteem before hi 3 departure for th' Mother Country. It is widely felt and recognised that for sixteen years he has ably and faithfully represented them in Parliament. He has reflected credit upon the construency which he has so long represented and the Parliament of New Zea'and. And it. is widely felt that he cannot be allowed to depart without some tangible recognition of the respect and esteem with which he is regarded, not only in the constituency, but over the whole Colony.
