Next Wednesday evening a social is advertised to take pffico in the Primitive Methodist Schoolroom. An enjoyable evening is promised for the { , low price of admission, is/' '' ‘ Boxing is" to be held iii the Public Hall on Wednesday evening. _ It is said that OrtO Or tWd adepts in the ‘ manly art ’ are likely to make an appearance on this occasion. A young man named Frank Hiley, aged 28 years, for some time past a resident of Foxlon, but with no relations in the Colony, died in the Palmerston Hospital on Thursday morning from heart disease. The deceased, who was of a genial disposition and greatly esteemed, has been an inmate of the Hospital for some time, off and on. Fifty barmaids of Christchurch says, Truth, have signed a petition asking the Legislative Hot to niake them stop work at seven o'clock, out to allow them to go on retailing alcoholic drinks to the chap across the counter until the romantic hour of eleven p.m. The barmaid states, with pathos, that from seven to eleven Is the time when the male person begins to feel the pangs Of thirst, dnd purchases the quenching dfatlghts which She is hired to mix, and if she is switched off by the Legislature at 7 p.m. her employer will discover that be has no work for barmaids, and dispense with net valuable services altogether. From the girl behind the bar’s point of view, this would be a shocking catastrophe, but it would probably be the best thing that could happen to the publican. There is a feeling abroad that Eotmade ought not to employ his girls to work his beer pump and spend the day in the atmos.phere of bad whisky ana stale tobacco, and that the barmaid is a siren of the most alluring and dangerous type, any how. Consequently, a number of highly moral and proper people regard the barmaid with great indignation,, and unless Boniface abolishes her, they will probably abolish him. Meanwhile, this isn’t very consoling to the barmaid. The Wairoa Guardian says;—Tbe Maoris are having a big tangi at Te Kuha, WalkafeUlOaha. Either their grief must be very deep or else the mortality singularly heavy, for they have been keeping up the mournful ceremonies almost incessantly for the last three months. A resident of Gisborne is the owner of a receipe for bushfelling, which, if it should prove successful, should do away with the man with the axe. The idea is (0 ringbark the trees and bore through the trunk with an auger a couple of holes, which are filled with a composition and plugged. The composition soaks into the w00d,,,,,r0ts it, and causes it to become inflammable. In about eight or ten rnonthsa’match is applied, and the tree falls, the stump and roots which have become soaked with the mixture, being burned right out. The system is said to be in use in America.

A butcher living at North Trenton, N J., U.S.A., for ten years has never had a wink of sleep. His first trouble with insomnia commenced 16 years ago, when he used to wake up at night in a nervous fright and lie awake for two or three hours at a time. By degrees the period of wakefulness in creased, until early one morning, ten years ago, he awoke with a start, and has never slept since. We are told by American journalists that he retires to bed between 10 and midnight, and rises again between 4 and 5 in the morning physically as refreshed as if he had been to sleep. He is well and strong, and has never had any serious illness, and enjoys three meals a day. Last week an unusually heavy bullock was put under the hammer at the Addington saleyards, and bought by a batcher. A discussion , arose as to its weight, and finally closed in the acceptance of a wager as to the ability of a well known dealer to carry a forequarter, unaided, from the lorry to the shop. The wager was settled and the dealer accomplished the task. The forequarter scaled 4701 b. The merit of the feat lies in. the awkwardness of a quarter for a lift, and the difficulty, of balance.

A few days ago (says the Poverty Bay Herald) we published a paragraph stating that, a man. in new York named Patrick Hennessy bad fallen heir to a fortune of £BO,OOO, left bin), by his uncle; in Melbourne. Inquiries'have since been made on behalf of a firm of solicitors in Auckland for a resident of Gisborne named JJennessy, a tailor by trade, who is believed to be related to the rich uncle and to have a claim on the fortune.’ Mr Hennessy, who. fe an elderly man, has been a resident of Gisborne some four or five, months'/-* ’
