Mr Andrew Jonson is building a large punt of kauri for Mr Jupp. We are informed that near Paiaka, where Mr Jupp’s launch Florence sunk, the river is over forty feet in depth ! and all along the channel in that portion the depth is over thirty feet. We notice that Mr James Symons has part of the timber on the site he intends building a new dwelling. The prospects of the trawling industry in Napier for the winter months are not of the brightest. For the last couple of months the output of the four trawlers employed in the work has been very small indeed. Whilst the, weather has been calm ashore, the sea has been very rough, preventing the trawlers from gelling anything like decent hauls. Flounders locally are selling at is id per bundle, and what few are now sent to Wellington fetch up to is fid.

The Now Zealand Times gives the foMowing startling informationlt is understood that Mr Nelson.-,.late second engineer in one of the Union Company’s boats, has been appointed chief er g ! neer of the Government submarine s: amer Lady Roberts.” We do not think it is generall known that the Lady Roberts is a submarine, it being generally understood she was obtained for sub-marine mining. Which is it ? Messrs Walker and Nolan of Bulls have four staunch d-aught horses for s.d ; a trial will be given and the horses can be seen working any day at Bulls. A few weeks ago, the sawmillers in the Wellington and Hawke’s Bay districts, with the ostensible object of retarding the output ot timber, decided (writes a Carterton correspondent) to work their mills _ only five days per Week. They have since found that by this arrangement, they would be liable, under the Arbitration Court’s award, to the payment of “casual wages ” to employees, and, therefore, it has been decided to work the full number of hours each week.

On Tuesday 27th May, 870 acres of first-clase land at Ohau will he open tor selection on lease in perpetuity. A plan of the land can be seen 4 at thi.office, and also at the Post Office.

The Naval Committee of the House of Representatives recommends the construction of two battleships of sixteen thousand tons each and two armoured cruisers .each of fourteen thousand tons. Contrast is drawn by newspapers between America’s programme and Germany’s enormous naval scheme.

Sir Joseph Ward has been, advised by Dr Mason, Chief Health Officer for the colony, that all persons who had come into cdntact with the man Virtue, who died in Auckland from plague, had been released from isolation, and that thera is uo sign of a further outbreak.

Mr Alf. Fraser, of this town, was last night elected representative of the Parochial district of Foxton with Rongotea, in the Wellington Diocesan Synod. The election was contested by Mrjas. Penny of Rongotea, and the polling of votes was very even. Mr A. S. Easton was the Returning Officer.

We advise the ladies to read Mr G. Stiles altered advertisement on our first page. He has ladies and childrens macintoshes in all shades. Children’s covert coats, jackets and pelisses,and a large variety in plain and fancy blacks. Hats in different materials and colours can also be chosen. Messrs Thos. Westwood and Co in their advertisement have headed it with a block of the symbol of industry. It attracts the attention to the large assortment, just received, of glass and ornaments, which we can strongly recommend for inspection, when a purchase is bound to he made. The building, a portion of the old Good Templars Hall, between Mrs Hamer’s and Mr Pat’s shops is being converted into a couple of nice shops, one of which has been secured by Mr A. R. Osborne. The shop windows will have large lower panes of plate glass. A verandah is to be carried along the footpath. Mr Hamer deserves considerable credit for the great alteration he has lately made on this portion the Main street.

Byron wrote “ The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold ” but we understand that shortly the facts will ho reversed in the case of one Assyrian, he who has- been selling goods without a hawkers license, as proceeding will be taken against him for this breach of the law. Mr Skillen is having a new dwelling house erected in Liddell street.

The man who disturbed the enter tainment on Monday w is also charged with the use of obscene language. He pleaded ignorance of having done so, being drunk. The offence having been proved, and the man having been fined for a similar offence a few weeks ago, a fine of and costs 5s was inflicted with an alternative of 14 days’ imprisonment with hard labour. Fines seem almost useless in these cases.

“ Are you in favour of temperance ? ’’ was a question put to Mr Tom Mann at the Opera house last night, says Monday’s Post. On an affirmativ# answer being given, the lecturer was asked why, in that case, he kept a hotel at Home ? His reply was that the keeping of ten publichouses by him would not be inconsistent with long-held opinion that the municipality should own and control the liquor trade. That was the policy of Socialism.

The coronation ceremony will bring grist to the mills of many estimable institutions in the metropolis (writes a London correspondent). One hospital favourably situated on the route of the procession calcualtes upon clearing a profit of £SOOO by letting out seats to spectators. The clubs along Pall Mall will make the most of their opportunity The Reform, for example has arranged to erect in front of its premises a double gallery capable of accommodation 630 persons. The seats will be charged at the rate of two and a half guineas each, including a champagne luncheon. As the procession passes along Pall Mall twice, the galleries will be twice filled. This means takings exceeding £3500, of which £2500 may propahly be counted as clear profit for the club’s coffers. The Athenaentn and the Carlton will benefit to equal extent. The new school committee has the record balance of £2O. Does this signify a superabundance of funds ? or want of energy on the part of the late committee ? A man named Charles Olsen who pleaded gnilty to disturbing an entertainment on Monday night, was fined ten shillings with five shillings costs, or in default 48 hoars’ imprisonment with hard labour. Mr Hugh Gillies has been elected President of the Manawatu A. &. P. Society. On Tuesday afternoon the man Carroll, who was charged with stealing the Assyrian hawker’s goods was remanded to Monday at Palmerston,

According to a cablegram sent by Mr Seddon to English papers. “ The cost to New Zealand of the contingents, including the Government vote and the Patrick' a Fund subscriptions, amounted to 100, besides £3,000 yearly for pensions.” By advertisement it is announced that the members of Court Pride of Foxton, A.0.F., will hold their fourth annual ball on Wednesday, 28th May. It.is expected that the ball, a plain and fancy dress one, will eclipse all its predecessors, and the very best arrangements are now being made for its ultimate success. Tickets can be obtained,, from Messrs Theo. Mitchell and A. Baker, and from all Foresters.

Madame Lewis, who will appear at the Public Hall, Foxton, on Saturday and Monday next has established for herself the reputation of being a clairvoyant of most unusual ability, and in every town she has been has astounded the audiences by her answering of questions. When in Carterton on Satiuday, April sth, Madame Lewis told a questioner where the body of , Mrs Sullivan was, and the search party proved the correctness of the prophecy. It is also said that Madame Lewis is even more clever than the “ White Mahatma,” who it will be remembered toured the colony some time ago, so that her appearance in this town will be awaited with some interest.
