This property comprises 261 acres, situated at Moutoa, and is at present in the occupation of Messrs Strang Bros. Messrs Abraham and Williams hold a stock sale at Palmerston on Thursday, and a horse sale on Saturday. The Commissioner of Taxes reminds persons that they must furnish returns of their incomes for the year, ending 31st March last by the Ist day of July next. By the report in the N.Z. Times, the meetings of the Trustees of the Home for the Aged Needy, are not marked by pleasantness or courteousness. The chairman at the last meeting appeared to have a very strong objection to the Eev. Van Stavpren. In another column Mr Bobert Cleave, the well-known nurseryman of Invercargill, advertises his stock of fruit trees and plants. Orohardists cannot go wrong in ordering plants from a colder climate. Mr Cleaves stock proves hb is a first-class nurseryman. Mr John Howan went to Wellington on Thursday night and secured further tanks, chains, and ropes, and expects them up by to-night's train. With this addition he will have 81 tanks to lift the Sunbeam, and as the lifting power of each tank is calculated as 26cwt., he ought to have no difficulty in having his boat once more afloat The Otago Daily Times has authority for stating that Mr Tegetmeier has accepted the position of general manager *of the Bank of New Zealand. Mr P. Dignan has been elected Mayor of Auckland unopposed. A practical miner, writing to the manager of the Dunedin Star from Cape Foulwind, says:— l have just returned from Coolgardie after twelve months of hard luck and empty pockets, and am glad to find myself in the best country in the world. The Mail says :— A Maori baby was born, at Otaki one day this week having six toes on each foot. The Rev. R. Young will conduct service as fo lowa tomorrow:— Foxton, Morning Celebration, and Shanuon in the evening. A good opportunity is available to anyone in want of first-class furniture. Mr Curtis advertises to-day the contents of six rooms, for private sale. A destructive fatal fire ocourred at Coolgardie. Kennedy's Hotel was destroyed in the early morning, and the fire spread with alarming rapidity. There was a large number of lodgers, and several saved themselves by jumping from the balconies. Three charred unknown bodies were found in the debris. Others are also supposed to have perished. The damage is estimated at £15,000. A sign of the times. For the junior clerkship, worth £50 a year, under the Lyttelton Harbour Boarr l , there were 70 applicants, including married men and youtg men 27 years of age. A lady who is 82 years of age is just learning to play the piano in England. She says that a woman who oan't play some sort of instrument nowadays stands a poor chance of marrying. • Germany has protested against the sugar duty under the Dingley tariff of the United States of Amerioa as beiug equal to a bounty, and threatens to retaliate. There has been registered lately in the colony, and also abroad, a split nail patented by Mr Horace Thompson, a Christchuroh resident, which it is said will prove invaluable to cabinetmakers and builders. The nail is split from the point o OBe up the bead, the points being bevelled inside, bo that when driven into.a pieoe of wood they spread, and form a perfect dovetail, just as neat as a joint made by a cabinet-maker, and equally strong. Practical builders declare that in putting down flooring-boards it will effectually prevent warping, while in cabinet wok it promises to take the place of the usual glue joint, and do away with the neoessity for dovetailing. On Thursday afternoon much astonishment was expressed at seeing our worthy Mayor standing at the top of the elevated water-tanks in the railway-yard. It was almost as surprising as if his burgesses had witnessed their Mayor up in a balloon. He, however, went there at duty's call, and his elevation that day was simply from business and pure water. The Borough Council had instructed the Mayor to secure from, the railway authorities the use of the waste water from these tanks, which if raised a few more feet would give a pressure sufficient to send a stream of water over the highest buildings in town. The Bailway Department, whioh is paying much more attention to the wishes of the Council than heretofore, despatched Mr Tyndall down to see the Mayor on this subject, and it was on a visit of exploration that Mr Tyndall and the Mayor ascended bo high in the air. It appears most probable that the boon of a small water supply will be obtained, and may be the commencement of a larger poheme. Water, in the summer is badly needed, and this supply will prove of much advantage. There is sure to be more correspondenoa on this subject, but we hope the Councillors will all work together to secure this- good thing. The Po>( say* ;•— lt 1b understood that the enquiry held yesterday by Messrs Lowe and Botheram into the cause of the recent railway accident near Kaitoke revealed that the usual precautions provided by the regulations in oases where repairs are being made to the line were neglected, and that Mr Petersen, the ganger superintending the work of relaying rails whioh had been taken up, admitted that the dog-spikes were out, and that he took the risk. The report of the enquiry, on reaching Mr Ronayne, General Manager, will be forwarded to the Minister of Railways, who will deal with it. A STEAM WHISTLE Need not run full blast all the time to let you know that it is heard, and it is not necessary that we should be always advertising by noisy statements to buy " Salsaline," the great food preservative, for once tried always used, as it is the only reliable food preservative sold.
