The Rev. Mr Wilson, the new ' oglican Vicar of Foxton, will not be ui.o to take up his duties till about the 12th of next month.

Mr Hunter, though retiring from the hotel, will reside in Foxton for the next few months. We might perhaps be able to persuade him to become a permanent resident. The sea beach is just now, as it ought to be, a source of much enjoyment to numbers of people. There are many tents dotted all about. Every Saturday night the train brings visitors for the Sunday. ’

Miss Withers elsewhere notifies thal her Kindergarten school reopens on Monday, 3rd February. We have always had a good word for this school • feeling sure its work is in the right direction for young children, and would advise parents to make careful ' inquires about it.

We have been informed that Mr Robert Gardner, is dangerously ill at Wellington. His many Iriends in this district will be distressed at this notification.

The January number of the New Zealand illustrated Magazine is to hand, and shows the steady improvement that is made in this locally illustrated, written, and printed monthly. It is' pleasing to note that advertisers very freely avail themselves of its pages. A breeze arose at the last Borough Council meeting about the Rangerthat ever changing official. It appears that Mr Hillary, though appointed Ranger, had never been gazetted, and this led to some misunderstanding. The King’s coronation procession in London will follow the route of the procession on the occasion of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee in 1897, The King has approved the route.

Richard Croker, the Tammany “ Boss,” has announced his retirement. Mr Lewis Nixon will succeed him in the Tammany leadership. Members of the Opposition will almost be sorry to learn that the revenue for the nine months ending 31st December last shows an increase of £180,986 for the corresponding period of previous year.

The revenue from direct taxation in France for last year shows a deficit of £440,000. At Leyin the other night a meeting was called to decide some fitting way to celebrate the opening of the sluices of the irrigation works. Result, opening of the floodgates of talk. One gentleman, noted for his retiring manner, stated he had attended to put the meeting in; the right way. Kind, but unappreciated, though he told them they were going all the wrong way. Perhaps so as the meeting had forgotten to seek his advice previously.

Rumour asserts likewise that in a week or two another chemist will open up in Main-street. It never rains but it pours, and we must not be surprised at whatever happens, but the intelligence that another barber proposes starting here ..will astonish smany, if they have accepted as sound what- the present barbers have said.about their trade.

The Prince of Wales, speaking at Guildhall ontbftflth ’Debtfinber said : —lt may interest you to know that we travelled over 45,000 miles, 33,000 of which were by sea, arid I think it is a matter of which all may feel proud that, with the exception of Port Said, we never set foot on any land where the Union Jack did not wave..

The Minister of Marine has received advice that Captain Moorhouse, of the sub-marine mining vessel Lady Roberts, who was ill in hospital at Albany, has been discharged, cured. He left for New Zealand on the 6th instant. The Melbourne “ Age,” commenting on German Anglophobia, says “ The voice of the German press, it must be remembered, is the voice of the German Government, the press being mnzzled or unmuzzled at the will of the Chancery in Berlin. The real sentiments of the Government are interpreted in Count von Bulow’s studiously offensive and deliberated uttered language. One of the effects, we imagine, will be a fresh impulse to the cm rent in public opinion in Britain which is setting towards a friendly understanding with Russia. The time appears peculiarly opportune foa a rapproachement between Britain, Russia and France,’’

The cynical phrase," Hold up a ring and let them jump for it,” was tested the other day by a popular American Methodist journal. The preacher had lost one wife and wanted another. None of the ciroumlocutionary cumbrous matrimonial advertisements for him. He simply rose in the pulpit and said, “ I am a candidate for matrimony, and if any. woman in this congregation would care to take me, Tether rise.” She, ( rose. Two of her. The minister, with a critical speaker’s eye, timed thq risings and called on the first. Then he invited the rest of the congregation to sing a hymn. SANDER and SONS EUCALPYTI EX TRACT. According to reports of a great number of physicians of the highteat professional standing, there are offered Ex tracts which possess no ourative qualities. In protection of the,world wide fame of Sanders and Sons preparation we publish a few abstracts from these reports, which bear fully out that no reliance can be placed in other products:—Dr. W.
