Our local townsman, Mr E. Ball, has purchased one of MTivht, Ranish, Holroycl & Co’s. lull size Universal Blackwood hiliiard fabler., and also arranged with llm firm to scud a representative up to special!'.- erect it. The table is tilted with patent low Excelsior cushions, and stands on concrete blocks, thereby gnar.-niuvirig that it is perfectly level, a desideratum not always enjoyed by weilders of the cue. Besides billiards. Mr Ball is providing his patrons with snooker, pyramids and poo!; with such a tabic and requisites, lovers of the game will be hard to please if they cannot enjoy themselves there. Mr Ball’s new premises will be opened on Saturday, and experts pronounce the billiardroom one of the finest in the North Island, the room being large and lofty, and the light good.

In the Camlnidge crew, which inflicted an easy defeat on Oxford on Saturday, were two colonials. Gillies, who stroked the crew, is an old Wanganui College boy, and one of his men was an Australian. There is a story in a contemporary concerning a little boy who said his porridge was nasty. “Never mind darling,” said ihe fond mother; “give it to the dug.” “Eve tried,” said the youth, “bill he won’t eat it neither.” “Then,” said the mother with decision, “ put it on one side for father. It mustn’t lie wasted.” On Saturday Mr W. Just, a Palmers ton North nurseryman, shipped the first instalment ot a large consignment of New Zealand tree ferns to then .fled Continental house of Waldemar and Nicolai, Saxony. Thirty one trees, averaging six feet high, were sent, valued at £zn a piece. If landed in Saxony in good condition further shipments of pungas will be made by following steamers. Tile Auckland tramcars are profusely decorated with advert Dements, and this led (o an amusing incident the other day. An old lady stood at a certain corner examining each oar that passed and allowing a number to go by. A geulkunan, seeing her predicament, asked her where she wanted to go, and she replied “Well I want to gei to Ouehuuga, but these cars all seem to-be going to Vanity Fair.” In support of an application for judicial separation from her husband at the Rangiora Magistrate’s Court a woman gave a graphic description of a difference between them, which occurred on a Sunday. “ Fie seized a chair,” she said, “ and I held on to the other side of it. Then he punched me on the nose and made it bleed dreadfully. Then I hit him, and we had a general light. He kept hitting me, and I hit him back as often as I could. I lay on the floor and screamed, and at last I picked up the poker and gave him a

good cut «u flic face ;uid then cleared out with the. children.” The husband, who d' uied much of the complainant’s evidence as to his part in (ho fight, showed nears on Ids hand where his wife hit him, need verified (he poker incident by displaying a scar on ids forehead. Mr J. Mortonsen, the: well known watchmaker and jeweller in the Square (near Park’s) Palmerston North, lias a now advertisement elsewhere. Mr Morlensen holds a large and tip to dale slock, and everything is of the latest patterns and designs. No inferior goods arc kept by Mr Mortensea. In a speech at a banquet at Whan garei, the Governor, referring to remarks to the effect that his successor, Lord Plnnket, would have a difficult task, said—“ Ido not agree with you. He is a young man who has had considerable experience in diplomacy and State affairs in Ireland. I think von will si e him in ajl parts of New Zealand just as old n as I have been. I fee! quae confident you will reaped and like him when he is among yon,” The London Salvage Company has been compelled to abandon the attempt to recover the bullion in the sunken wreck ot the Klingamiie. The steamer Yeung Bnngarec, chartered by tin; company, has returned to Auckland, alter an absence of about filly days. The diver was unable to make a descent owing to stormy wee iher.

Excursion to Rapid to-morrow. The Oucca of the South (weather permit ting) leaves at 8 a.m. We hear that a large number arc likely to avail themselves of the opportunity ot spending a pleasant day’s excursion. Rather n peculiar accident has happened to two of Mr Green’s horses, which were turned out wiih others in a paddock at Rata in which a boat was running at large. Tim horses, apparently troubled with that inquisitiveness which wo all suiter from sometimes, went up to the boar and amused themselves be sniffing and playing about him. This, however, his boarship objected to, and 1m made a savage attack upon two of them, lipping one badly in the flank, and the other slightly in (wo places. Luckily a pony in the paddock escaped attack) or he might, in- reason of'his lesser height, havesuffered more scvere!y.--Clironicle. Messrs Osgood and Hancock, the well-known painters and paperhangers of Palmerston N. have a new, advertisement in to-day’s issue. Ihe firm slock all the latest styles in papers, and their ingrain tints and freizes comprise some most beautiful colours and patterns. Their prices compare most favourably with Wellington houses, and competent workmen are sent to any part of the district to execute any work on behalf of the firm on shortest notice. Visitors to Palmerston will he amply repaid by inspecting Messrs Osgood and Hancock’s large and up-to-date stock in their promises in Kangitikei-street. One of the latest improvements in Palmerston North is the newly-erccted building known as the Cosmopolitan M nfc, situated in Main-street, near the Square, which has been built to (he order of Mr L. Bittehneyer, of that town, who is already known to many Foxton people on account of the Manawatn river trip which he and his brother nnderiook from Palmerston some lime ago, and of which we already gave a brief description in our columns some time back. Anyone visiting Palmerston should certainly patronise the establishment on account of the variety of businesses the place comprises and the up-to-date manner everything is appointed and managed. Wc should first of all draw attention to the hairdressing saloon, which is really splendidly appointed and where competent hands are employed. At the back of the saloon is a work-room m which Mr Bittehneyer is buisly eng :gcd in remedying die deficiencies oi

X.r,ure by constructing every conceivable kind ot hair-work. Next to the work-.room is a snug tit tic room for the ladies, where Miss Halle, of Sydney, is to be found in attendance. Mr Hittelmoyor has thereby' satisfied a long-felt want. Wet and dry shampooing, cutting, singeing, face massage, manicuring and ladies’ hair-dress-mg. etc., is carried out to patron’s entire satisfaction. The entrance to this room is by the right-of-way leading down alongside of the buiid ing, and is therefore quite private. Hi:; next we wish, to draw attention to is the Cosmopolitan Restaurant, under the management of a competent chef of G Mitiuenta! and Australian experience. Every Foxton resident should call there and satisfy his bodiiy wants. A passage through (he centre of the building leads to one of the best appointed billiard rooms in the colony, furnished with one Wright, Rauisii and one Alcock tabic. The light in the room is splendid, being lit by a splendid large ceiling light with colours 1 glass of lovely harmonising tints. The appointments in connection with it are ail of the best, and any visitor to Palmerston who has a few m unents to spare cannot do better than call at the saloon, and thus pass away a few pleasant hours.

SAN DISK and SON EUC \LPYTI EXTRACT. According to reports of a great number of physicians of Ihc hightesl professional standing, there arc offered Eucalpyii Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities.
