The churchyard at Penn, in Buckinghamshire, according to the vicar of the parish, is so crowded that it is impos sible to dig a grave without disturbing remains, It has been in use for nearly 700 years.

At Haveloclq (Hawke’s Bay) on 1 bur-day last. Mr J. R. McLennan, late c.t Or.ma Downs, and now of Wailnna Wt.s!, was married to Miss M. L. MacKcnzie, in the presence of a large and fashionable congregation. Mr and Mrs McLennan left for Sydney on Saturday. Mr J. F. Roscoe died at Fordell. near Wanganui, last week, aged forty six. The deceased was prominent among rowing men in the early eighties. In 1884 he rowed No. 3 in the famous U.B.C. crew, which defeated in succession, on their own courses Wanganui, Foxton and Wellington. Fine specimens of fresh water flounders were being sold in Foxton on Saturday. These flounders were exceptionally large ones and no doubt their haunts in the river are gradually being brought to light. Some of these flounders are handsome in appearance being black on the back with bright coloured circular spots. A curious surgical operation is reported from Dresden, where Dr Halnel, who was attending a girl eight years of age,'who had lost the forefinger of her right hand, amputated the second toe oi his patient’s right foot and sewed it on to the stump of the missing finger. The two parts were then encased in plaster, and after three weeks it was found that the toe had become firmly attached, forming a good substitute for the finger. The War Office authorities, who have recently developed a great solicitude for the dental welfare of the rank and file of the army, have further decided to look after the teeth of the hoys of the Duke of York’s and Royal Hibernian military schools, from whence so many soldiers emanate. For the first time in their history these schools will shortly have the services of a dentist, and the Army Estimates next year will provide a sum of £ioa for each school for this purpose.

In another column appears an advertisment from Gattsche’s Eagle Brewery, Palmerston North. We paid a visit to this establishment the other day and found it as compact in up-to-date apparatus as any brewery we ever visited. There is a boiler invented and patented by Mr Gattsche, jun., I hat is worth seeing, and the provision for automatic action of yeast is quite an) object lesson. With respect to the produced article we are permitted to say, for it has been an open secret for a long time, that next to Gniness’s Dublin stout ranks the article brewed/ by Mr Gattsche! The secret of brewing this stout, we are informed, has handed down from father to sod. /

We notice some small boys have evidently made good catches of whitebait, judging by the quantities some of the embryonic fishermen are occaionally taking round the town for sale.

The results of the Trinity College Theory examination are to hand, and we notice that the five pupils presented by Mrs R Gray have passed. Four obtained honours, three of whom gained 91, 92 and 93 marks, out of a possible too.

A post office has been opened at what has hitherto been known as “ Mickey town,” three miles this side of Sanson, on the tratti line. The office is to be named " Makowhai ” for the future, and mails are to be received and despatched three times a week. Mr A. A. Schulz has been appointed postmaster, and the mails will be carried by the tramway. No doubt the settlers in the vicinity will appreciate this convenience.

A private lettef feUeived in Ashburton from Cape Town gives a very gloomy account of the state of that city and Johannesburg. Several merchants are surrendering their estates, and before the end of the year it is anticipated there will be some large smashes. Mining shares have never been so low. Many of the retired merchants have lost everything they had, and are again obliged to pat their shoulders to the wheel.

Pipis are plentiful on the shallow flat in the small bay just below the Wharangi and close to the fishing village. Two native women obtained a couple of kits full the other day with very little difficulty. The natives of Awapuni and indeed the Maories- anywhere up coiintty ate passionately fond of these shellfish and no doubt, if some of our enterprising fishermen put in their off time from fishing gathering these they would be remunerated by the Rangitane, Awapuni and Palmersston. natives, who are it may be mentioned, in comfortable circumstances, and consequently likely to offer sufficient prices to induce fishermen to supply shellfish; About two miles north of the pilot Station along the sea beach, just above the highest line of drift timber, there has evidently been a maori pah in the olden times evidently a substantial one. II the ground is closely observed indications of the remains of various native huts are seen. Close to one of these which must have been an unusually large Kaianga judging by the slabs left standing, there is a copper maori, or bangi, quite complete, the stones being left in a circle some of them being quite red showing that they had been in use for some considerable lime. In addition to this there are piles of pipi shells close at hand. These interesting relics of the times when the Maori held sway are gradually disappearing without any attempt being made for their preserva tion. To those with a regard for matters of antiquity and history, such places are of great interest and carries their imagination back to the times when the Maories were stronger in body and also in numbers, when for a subsistence they were compelled to change their dwellings to seek food which was plentiful in different parts of the country at different seasons of year.

‘ SANDER and' SONS BUOALPYTI EXTRACT.

Oormell, Kansas City, Kans.-, says —“Care has to be exercised not to be supplied with spurious preparations, as done by my supply druggist.” Dr H. 11. Hart, New York, says—"lt goes witho.it saying that Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract is the best in the market.” Dr James Reekie, Fairview, N.
