Typhus, enteric, scarlet fever, bubonic plague, smallpox, diphtheria, and tuberculosis have been declared infectious diseases within the meaning of the Dairy Industry Act. The Wairarapa County Council has decided to make a new departure in bridge building, and intends rebuild ing the bridge at Ponatahi in concrete. The present bridge is in timber. A floating exhibition of British manufactures will start on a visit to all the colonies early next year. Representatives of nearly a hundred firms will accompany the exhibition. We have been shown the lady’s gold bracelet presented by Mr S. Hickson, to be competed for in a running race at the next Foxton Athletic sports. The bracelet is a very handsome one and set with 3 garnets and 4 diamonds. It is incased in a handsome royal blue plush case.

The Cape cart in which General De Wet travelled through the Transvaal in the Boer war is now in Wellington. It is the property of Mr Frank Dyer, to whom it was presented when he was in South Africa. The cart, which was landed in Wellington a few days since, was captured in the fight. It is substantially built, and though it has evidently seen a good deal of service, is in excellent order. Ihe offertories at all services at All Saints’ to morrow, will be for the General Church Fund of the Diocese. This fund enables the poorest of the new bush parishes to be maintained, and has, therefore, a strong claim upon Churchmen in the older established districts where the first hardships of pioneering have become a thing ot the past. The first Sunday in September is set apart, throughout the Diocese of Wellington, as the annual opportunity for generous contribution to the General Church Fund.

Mr Faulknor, of Foxton, in conjunction with Messrs Jessell and Roubisson of the West Coast. 5.1., have obtained the cutting rights of flax over a block of 5000 acres at is per ton royalty. The block is situated atAhaura. between Reefton and Greymouth. There is a splendid fall in the Ahaura river which will enable the machinery to be driven by water power; Mr Faulknor informs us that a new patent waterpower wheel called “ Felton’s patent ’* will be used, and it can be regulated to work up to 30 h.p. The total cost of machinery will not be more than £ 2OO. Mr Faulknor is transferring bis family to Ahaura next week, '

The honey industry is becoming an important one in the Wairarapa. One Masterton plumber has orders to fullfil for 55 gross of special size honeytins, and also 500 6olb honey tins. The total number of tickets issued by the Auckland Electric Tramway Company in connection with the inauguration of the suburban Sunday last was 3666. A resident oi Nelson, who has hitherto been in poor circumstances, received word by the last San Francisco mail that he had come, into a fortune of £6OOO. ' A flaxrriiil wtticii Was established at Waitara (North Island) for a period of thirteen months was the means ot circulating about £SOOO in that district during tbit time.

The Tennis Club hold their annual meeting on Monday evening at the Public flail at 8 o'clock. It is hoped that more interest will be taken in the Club than was the case last, year, and that for the coming season a big membership will be recorded.

The All Saints' tea and social is advertised for Wednesday next, 9th inst. Tea at 6.30 and musical items at 8 o’clock is sure to attract many for the low price of is. Children will be admitted tor 6d. Proceeds are for the Church funds. The following was wired to Christchurch Truth by its Wellington correspondent “ Rumour's are current that an extensive misappropriation of moneys by an employee who held a confidental position in a Wellington firm have been discovered. The shortage is said to amount to something like £ISOO. Although this is the second time the same firm has suffered through dishonest officers* it is understood no prosecution will follow in the present instance. . The money is said to have been chiefly lost in th&fascinating but expensive pursuit of backing probable winners on the racing track.

A few days ago there was a narrow escape of a large fire in the Main* street. About ? o'clock in the evening a fire broke out in the kitchen of Mrs Harris’ boardinghouse and was only just discovered in time to prevent a farther spread. If the fire had not been noticed until a few minutes later block of buildings, including the Ban it" of New Zealand. It seems that this is the third or fourth time this building has had a similar narrow escape, and the wonder ia that it is not insured. A well-known stationmaster, Mr E. McKenna, V.C., of Wanganui, is to be succeeded in the charge of the Wanganui station by Mr Smith of Palmerston. Captain Lloyd, of Port Chalmers, also well-known in the railway service, is retiring. Captain Lloyd, who was brought up to the sea, had a lohg experience in Australasian waters before finally settling down ashore. His place at Port Chalmers is to be taken by Mr Graham, transferred from Queenstown. The timber trade between Lyttelton and.the West Coast is now growing to such dimensions as to require special shipping facilities. A few days ago a deputation from Hokitika waited upon the Greymouth manager of the Union Steamship Company, and urged' that the Company should secure a small light draught steamer for the HokitikaLyttelton trade.

A good deal of satisfaction has been expressed (writes the Southbridge correspondent of the Lyttelton Times) at the decision of the Government to permit the netting of trout, with certain stipulations, in Lake Ellesmere.' It is realised that no other action could have been taken in the matter, as it was a case of existence for the fishermen or recreation for the anglers. A farmer down south, says the Bruce Herald, keeps a rather delapidated fowl run, and his feathered stock have for months past been running foul of his neighbour’s garden, on which the owner prides himself. Numerous protests by the gardener were of no avail, the owner of the fowls declaring that he would mend the fence when he liked. Threats to appeal to law were unheaded. Then a little strategy suggested itself. One morning the gardener put a card in his window with a basket of eggs, and upon the card the following notice: “ New laid eggs for sale.” The owner of the fowls was among the first to see it. He knew the gardner kept no fowls, and the inference was obvious. In less than six hours the fence was mended, but the man is still _ unaware that " those eggs were supplied by a local grocer.

When in Auckland recently 1 Messrs Mitchell and Walsh were informed by the principal Auckland fibre merchants that the north was studded with good flax sites, and were prepared to induce southern millers to start ilaxmilling in the north. The reason was that most of the northern flaxmiliers were working in a primitive way. Visits were made to about a dozen different localities, but sufficient quantities of flax for milling could not be found. The flax seen was somewhat short but fibre good and of apparent excellent quality. When passing through the Waikato district they noticed a large patch of flax on the outskirts of Hamilton, and decided to stay at that place and enquire for the owners. After considerable difficulty they were successful, the owner being zoo miles north, necessitating a long journey to meet him. This was accomplished after considerable difficulty. The owner— Mr J. Gillett —returned to Hamilton with Messrs Mitchell and Walsh, and made satisfactory arrangements as to purchase of the Te Rapa Estate. This estate consists of 3611 acres, slightly over 3000 acres being in flax, and there is sufficient flax ready to.at least supply one stripper continuously. It is intended to drain the swamp which is very favourable for that purpose, and probably in a few years’ time there will be sufficient flax to supply 5 or 6 mills. Coal can be obtained from the Huntly mine which is on Waikato railway line, and the cost of freight on fibre to Auckland is similar as that from Paxton to Wellington. Surrounding the Te Rapa estate are a good number of dairy farms and a creamery at either end 0! the estate.

the Hawera, Feilding, Palmerston N.. Wairarapa, and Hawke’s Bay saw* millers have decided, owing to the increased cost of working occasioned by the increase in premiums for accident insurance, shorter hours of labour, and farther distance to bring logs to the mills, to raise the price of timber 6d per xooft all round.
