Mr H. Coley advertises for a good cook for his hemp mill. Land, good for milking, is now fetching £25 per acre around Rongotea. The creamery at the Oroua Downs commenced work last week. It is situated near the north end of the Oroua Downs estate.

The officer commanding the district advertises that paragraph 6 of the regulations for examination of returned members of contingents is cancelled. Milking is the order of the day, a cow and an acre, is the future political cry. Mr Wallace, at Shannon, is one of the converts, and he purposes milking a herd of sixty. Early in the year Messrs Abraham & Williams will hold a stock clearing sale at the Oroua Downs estate.

Mr Samuel Barry, the eye-sight specialist of Palmerston, gives the very important notice that his clients should upon him before the 31st Dec., as after that date he cannot be consulted in Palmerston.

Large quantities of potatoes are being planted in the Carnarvon district this season, and the earlier ones are looking well. The lupins along the road to Himatangi are now thick in flower and throw a very strong scent, stronger than the gorse does when in full bloom. Gangs have been at work for some time on the government railway taking up the old rails and sleepers and putting new sleepers and heavier rails down. They have got to this side of Motuiti.

The proprietor of Manchester House has received a portion of his new Xmas goods, and expects the balance daily. He intends to sell cheap to secure a ready market. The Carnarvon Tramway is at work every day bringing gravel from the pit by the Rangitikei river to the Taikorea and Milner lines for making those roads. The gravel is. shot out at the side of the railway. At the last meeting of the Wanganui Education Board the following local business was done :—lt was decided to pay the Truant Inspector £so in lieu of fines. It was decided to ask Mr Wood to report on the information desired by the Education Department re the proposed school at Glen Oroua. It was also decided not to grant the request of the Rongotea School Committee for the cost of drainage from the artesian well. A semi-official statement from Washington asserts that Colombian officers at Panama and Colon are steadily and quietly preparing to invade Nicaragua. Through an accident at the Government railway yards, Thorndon, on Tuesday morning, Thomas Pay, aged 71 years, who had been in the employ of the Railway Department for twentyfive years, had one foot cut off, the other badly mangled, three fingers and the thumb of the left hand cut off, and suffered a severe scalp wound. Pay had been clearing away weeds on the line near the passenger platform. A dust-storm sprang up, and he turned his back to the wind just as several carriages were shunted down the line behind him. He was knocked down and run over by three carriages. Three doctors were immediately summoned, and the sufferer was taken to the district hospital. Pay is a married man with a grown-up family. He intended to retire trom the service when the superannuation scheme came into operation. The returns of deaths from wild animals and snakes in India during 1901 have just been published, and in both cases an increase is indicated. Snakes are said to have killed 22,810 persons, as against 22,393 in 1900. Tigers are the principal offenders, having killed 1171 persons, of whom 162 lost their lives in a single district of the Central provinces. The Express is responsible for the statement that there is said to be a family in the back blocks from Eketahuna which is absolutely running wild. The children have never seen a school, and their language is quite unintelligible. So seldom do they see a stranger that when one recently visited the house the youngsters became terrified and hid themselves from view.

At Brisbane, a girl of 18 pleaded guilty to bigamy a day or two ago. She had married twice inside 12 months; the first husband went away to look for work, and when he had been away for eight months she grew tired of waiting, and married again. It was done with little or no concealment, and her only plea was that she didn’t know there was any harm in it. The Lancet has a rather amusing suggestion as regards the permanency of the stained glass in English cathedrals, “ Lately," it statesi “it has been found that a peculiar * glass disease ’ has broken out amongst the windows of York Cathedral —indeed, it is stated that some of the thirteenth and fourteenth century glass in the edifice has been removed in order to arrest the ‘ disease.’ The outbreak is ascribed lo a fungus, but the exact nature of its attack upon the glass is not described. The glass appears to be perforated to such an extent that portions of the glass yield on the slightest touch. Moreover, the transparency of the glass has to great extent disappeared—in short, the glass here and there exhibits no longer the properties of glass. It is evident that some kind of chemical action has been established, due, perhaps, to the life and habits of a specific fungus.” Attention of athletes is directed to the fact that entries for the Friendly Societies’ sports at Foxton on New Year’s Day, close with the Secretary at Palmerston North, on Saturday at 10 p.m. The gathering promises to be the most successful yet held by the combined lodges.

Mrs Walker wants a general servant

One of our Member’s sons has a very nice tailor's shop in the square at Rongotea. The sum of £3OOO has been granted by the Government for distribution among the public libraries. Rongotea has made great strides the last few years, and we noticed two accommodation houses which appeared to earnestly desire a license. The Borough Council invite applications for the right to cut and remove grass from the cemetery. Applications received up to 6 p.m. on Saturday next.

We have to thank the Secretary of the Manawatu Racing Club for a complimentary ticket for their Summer Meeting. In Mr M. H. Walker’s changed advertisement he invites attention to the large assortment of fancy articles he has obtained for Christmas, such as glass and china ware and electro plate. He has also a large asssortment of New Season’s fruits, to work off which he will sell you one of “ The Shaler-Burgess ’’ patent push hoes. The main road running through the Oroua Downs estate appears a ranch more cheerful drive than it used to, the new houses upon the farms sold on the seaward side showing up well. Special services are being conducted this week in the Methodist Church by the Rev. G. H. Mann. The singing and preaching of this evangelist is making an impression on his hearers.

While a Mrs Gould was giving a music lesson to a youth named Osmond, in Melbourne, the latter went mad, and proceeded to wreck the furniture with a hatchet, ultimately setting fire to the broken pieces.' Passersby extinguished the flames, and Osmond was arrested.

Mr A. Seifert has just procured a new 12 h.p. Brittania, portable engine and boiler. This is comparatively a new type of boiler, being constructed specially for burning rough wood. It will be installed at Mr Seifert’s mill, which is located some tour miles from Shannon, up the river. Mr Adam Burges, of the Manawatu Carriage Works, Palmerston North, are agents for the makers of these engines, which are fast coming to the front.

From the Woodville Examiner we take the following:—“ Particularly do we wish to express our satisfaction with the way in which the catering was done by Messrs Langley Bros., of Foxton. This firm has a fine conception of how to cater for a race meeting, and the many expressions of satisfaction we heard on the lawn oh both days proves that we were not alone in our opinion. Luncheon was splendidly served, and there was a continuous stream of ladies to the afternoon tea stand.” Messrs Langley have also been asked to cater for the Pahiatna and Egmont race meetings, New Year’s Day sports at Foxton, and they have also received the catering for the Cricket Association when the cricket team being brought out by Lord Hawke visits Palmerston. SANDER and SONS BUOaLPYTI EX TRACT, According to reports of a great number of physicians of the hightest professional standing, there are offered Euoalpyti Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities.
