Mr Geo. Johnston, formerly in the Post Office here, but now of Rasterton, it spending a few days* holiday in Foxtoa. Mr and Mrs Frankland arrived in' Foxton on Saturday and intend staying for a week. Further additions are made io Messrs Abraham & Williams' Palmerston stock sale! A large quantity of drift timber has been distributed along the sea beach by the recent flood in the river: Mr T. Lindsay Buick advertises that his book " Old Manawatu," which has just been published will be delivered to subscribers on Thursday next. Two small dwelling huts have just been erected at the Wharangi. The small fishing village there is increasing in population by degrees. Mr L. G. West, one of the oldest established architects in Palmerston North, has an advertisement in another column. Mr 0. W. Oldham, formerly manager of the Patea Meat Works, but now of the Woodlands Canning and packing Company, Woodlands, Otago, is expected to arrive in Foxton this month on a visit.

Messrs Mounsey & Co. advertise a sale of town and suburban sections in Palmerston N. on Saturday next. In* tending purchasers will be shown oyer the properties on the shortest notice. Plans are out for the block of dwellings and sections in Rangitikei-streei, and may be obtained from them on application Several choice building sites in healthy parts of Palmerston are also to be offered on very easy terms by the firm. A little over three months ago a girl, about fifteen years of age, left her home in the Waimate district, and despite the vigilance of the police detectives, her whereabouts were a mystery for some considerable time. On Sunday last (says the “ Timaru Post”) two gentlemen drove up to a dairy farm at Glen-iti (near Timaru) and discovered the girl, who had successfully passed off as a boy for three months, and had been driving a milk van past the Tim aru Police Station every morning for that length of time. Mr Seabury has taken soundings in the river at Duncan's bend, but so far no attempt to mark the channel with buoys has been made. We are of opinion that it is high time a man was appointed to assist the pilot at this port, as owing to the frequent shifting of the channel the pilot very often can not leave his post to keep an eye on the channel between the wharf and the heads. In former years when a good many sailing crafts* came to Foxton the pilot had two permanent assistants, but now be has to perform the whole ot the duties himself with the occasional assistance of one or two fishermen.

The s.s. Himitangi came into and out of Foxton yesterday by the same tide. She took away 45 bead of cattle and 303 sheep for Greymouth. Some of the bullocks came from 30 miles north of Napier being driven to that place, then railed to Palmerston and driven from there to Foxton. This is a proof that the Port of Foxton is preferred to that of Napier for the shipment of live stock to the West Coast S.I.

Experts are of opinion that the conveyance of live stock by rail to the various freezing works causes a depreciation in the value of meal fully 4 percent. It is said that when stock are carried a long distance by rail the constant shaking they are subject to and also the noise of whistles, &c., when shunting naturally keep the stock in a constant state of fright and excitement and consequently on arrival at their destination the animals are in a very fevered condition; The Wellington and other freezing works we understand are endeavouring to avoid receiving their stock by rail as far as possible, but owing to'the situation of the works such a long distance from the stock raising districts a great deal of trucking cannot be avoided.

The Wanganui Freezing Works Company has declared a dividend of 8 per cent. Owing to the inclemency of the weather last evening the annual meeting of the Lawn Tennis Club had to be postponed this night week, Sept. 15th. Those interested will be notified of the adjourned meeting in next Saturday’s issue of this paper. It will be interesting to many, in view prohibition, says the Otago Daily Times, to learn that the favourite temperance drink, sarsaparilla and ginger ale, contains a certain proportion of alcohol. It was disclosed by the analysis obtained in connection with court proceedings at Dunedin that this medicine contains a fairly good percentage of nroof spirits, which will explain the demand for it in certain districts where thirsts are long and drinks “ soft."

A gentleman who waited on the County Council complained that he had been bullied for having taken one of the Counoillors at his word. The Councillor in question, when complained to about some road, told the gentleman that things would be much better if the settlers would only help themselves. The next time the settler mentioned saw the County roadman come along with a load of metal, be annexed two bucketsful for his garden path. “ I was only doing as I was told to do, you know, and helping myself, and yet I was bullied."
