The Eketahuna Express says: There is said to he a family in the back blocks from Eketahuna which is absolutely running wild.

Speaking at a reception accorded him in Wellington, Sandow, the strong man, said he had never seen such material, such a fine race of men, as he had seen in this colony, and he thought they were ahead of Australia in many respects. He was always pleased to give instruction on the subject, and was ready at any time to give away what he knew. His object in doing this was to see men as strong, and if possible, stronger, than him* self.

In another column will be found an altered advertisement from Mr Alf. Fraser, and one that is worth reading. Ills shop windows are an attraction for young and old, and inside the shop the attraction is stronger still. The recent alterations made has the effect of displaying goods to the utmost advantage, while it also enables all to see at a glance what a large and varied stock is now carried by Mr Fraser. We would strongly advise all who want to be. well served (and who does not) to made their selection before Xmas Eve, as they can get a much better choice than in the usual crowd which always throngs Mr Fraser’s shop on that night.

The sale of work in aid of the funds of the Methodist Church was continued and cohcluded in the Public Hall on Thursday night. In the shooting gallery Master E.

At the close of the sale Mr Harris announced that the name of the doll for the guessing competition was “ Jennifer.’’ As no one had guessed the name, the doll was shot for, and was carried off by the winner, who was congratulated on all sides. There were many willing workers, and the utmost good humour prevailed. The ladies of the Guild are to be congratulated. They have had fine weather, fine attendances, a fine time, and fine resultSi The Plymouth News reports a somewhat sensational occurrence. At a railway station on Saturday a sturdy looking young fellow boarded the mail train with a young and prepossessing woman and child of three or four years of age. At a station or two further along the line a man suddenly boarded the train, caught hold of the child, and put it on the station platform. Then he seized hold of the woman, whom he claimed as his wife. He tried to take her off the train. She resisted, and but for the interference of the bystanders the two would have fallen between the carriages. Just then the train started, and the young fellow, coming to the assistance of the woman, quickly released her and put the other man, who Was an older and less robust man, down on the floor on his hack, holding him till the woman had escaped to another Carriage. At the next station the husband left the train, it is supposed to recover the child. The young fellow and the woman also left the train before it reached New Plymouth.
