Mr Elliott Warburton, well known in Palmerston in the early days as a capable solicitor, returned last week after having beep in England for many years. - His many friends will gladly welcome him back.

When the Fitzgerald’s Circus was performing at Waimati a few weeks ago, a lot of the staging went down plump, people and all—amongst them having been our late postmaster, Mr MacDermott and his wife. No great damage was fortunalely done, but we are sorry to say that Mrs MacDermott was slightly hurt, but now happily she is quite well. They say Mr Fitzgerald acted very handsomely, paying all expenses put to by those hurt, besides subscribing liberally to the local charities _

On Saturday the State School boys journeyed to Palmerston, this time to play the College street school boys, and again met with deteat. Still they are not discouraged. They were not so badly beaten as on the previous Saturday, and as they are beginning to show decided improvement in their play, by-and bye it may be our pleasant duty to record a win for them. The batting of G. Thynne was again the most successful for his side, and the bowling of D. Walden and K. Furrie was quite as good as that of their opponents, if not better.

Mr Wm. Hannay, General Manager of the Manawatu Railway, has been invited by Messrs Jupp and Alfred Cook to meet them at a spot on the banks of the Manawatu river within three-quarters of a mile of the Manawatu railway line at Buckley, from which place it is intended to run a river excursion to Foxton (30 miles) on Easter Monday, connecting with the morning train from Palmerston ; leaving Buckley about 8.30 a.m., and arriving at Foxton at 12 noon, returning from Foxton at 3 p.m., arriving at Buckley at about 7 p.m., in plenty of time to catch the early train home to Palmerston and Wellington.
