Yesterday we had the pleasure of meeting Mr Gillespie, who has just run up from Ternnka on his holidays to look np his old friends in this district.

'A son-in-law of Mr George Simpson, Mr Hunter, late of Wanganui, has come to Foxton to swell the roll of painters and decorators. He has the reputation of being a first-class tradesman. At present he is painting Mr Hamer’s buildings. The “ Spectator ” says that a salary of £io,ooo, with one house, is ample for the Governor-General of the Commonwealth. That official would, it he received a hint, live as a gentleman, and not as a financial prince. At the first wooi sale of .the season at Auckland on Tuesday there was a good attendance of buyers. Prices opened a penny to twopence better than last year for coarse and fine crossbreds, which were the only grades offered.

On Tuesday morning Frank Coyle was brought before Messrs Thynne and Fraser, J.P’s., for having been drunk whilst in charge of a horse. Defendant pleaded guilty. Coyle has a long list of convictions, he apparently being unable to resist the Cup that cheers and inebriates* He was fined £5, and in default one month’s imprisonment. He was allowed till Saturday to pay the fine in. Dredging is still going on, which is satisfactory noting the change in—not the Ministry as hoped by many—but in the representative for the electorate. All along the face of the wharf runs a bed of gravel twelve feet deep, so Mr G. Nya informs us, resting on blue clay. We understand that about five feet will be dredged away. The sheathing piles, Mr Nye says, were driven twelve feet into this ground and the other piles fifteen feet.

We have received from Messrs Stewart, Dawson & Co., the celebrated silversmiths of Wellington and elsewhere, a handsome pamphlet entitled “ A book about jewellery*” Within are representations of many of the designs in jewellery suitable for gifts which must make everyone wish he was richer than he is, for though the prices named are reasonable enough, there are so many things one-,would like.

It is common belief that the most infectious stage of scarlet fever is that at which the skin begins to peel off the patient.

The quarterly meeting of the officials of the Primitive Methodist Church was held at the parsonage on Tuesday night. There was a good attendance. The Rev. W. Harris received and accepted a unanimous invitation to remain on the station for a third year. Mr E. Osborne, Mr E. Westwood and the minister were appointed delegates to the animal conference, which opens in Ashburton on January Bth. Many of our readers will learn with regiet that Mr. Samuel Barry, eyesight specialist, intends leaving Palmerston next month. His presence* there has been a distinct advantage to the people of this district as there is no other qualified specialist nearer than Wellington. During Mr Barry’s stay in Palmerston he has secured a very large and appreciative clientage, and for the benefit of those to whom he has supplied glasses he will, we understand, make periodic visits to the town. Mr Barry will continue the practice of his profession in one of our larger centres, and we wish him every success.

They tell this amusing story of an old-time “ religious revival ” meeting at a negro church near Savannah. In order that the revival spirit might be quickened, it was arranged that the preacher should give a signal when he thought the excitement was highest, and from the attic through a hole cut in the ceiling over the pulpit the sexton was to throw down a pure white dove, whose flight around the church and over the heads of the audience was expected to cap the climax. All went well at the start. The church was packed. The preacher’s text was, “ In the form cf a dove,” and as he piled up his eloquent periods the excitement was intense. Then the opportune moment arrived—the signal was given—and the packed audience was scared out of its wits on looking up to the ceiling and beholding a cat, with a clothes’ line around its middle, yowling and spitting, being' slowly lowered over the preacher’s head The preacher called out to the sexton in the attic, “ Whar’s de dove ?” And the sexton’s voice came through the opening so you could hear it far away, “ Inside the cat!”
