Constable Forster, as bailiff, notifies the sale on Monday next, at noon, of a horse, saddle and bridle, at the Courthouse, Foxton. The steamers Himitangi, Waverley, Moa, and Queen of the South are all detained in port owing to the boisterous weather. Another trouble to British farmers is threatened by a case raised by a dairymaid claiming £IOO damages owing to her having caught cowpox through milking a cow. A bottle containing a letter from Dr Andree, who started in a balloon expedition to the North pole, in 1896, has been found at Spitzbergen. A meeting of the Athletic Club is advertised to be held at the Racing Club’s office on Monday evening next at 8 o’clock. The appointment of a secretary is to be considered.

Messrs Prouse Bros., of Levin and Shannon, have opened a timber yard in Foxton, having taken a section adjoining Messrs Austin Bros, flaxmill. The firm will stock all kinds of timber, dressed and undressed.

Two women whose houses adjoined quarrelled, and abused each other over the garden wall. At last one retorted hotly, “ You think I’m a fool, I suppose ?” “ I think you’re nest door to one,” came the incautious answer. Some young man in Wellington is evidently very much in need of a wife. He offers £lO premium for an introduction which leads to engagement. He can offer good home and “ exceptional” {sic) references. He should not have long to wait for a suitable partner. “Vanity Fair” tells a story of Mr Justice Jelf when he was Recorder of Shewsbury. A prisoner before him shed copious tears. “ Why do you weep ?” asked the Judge. “Oh, my lord, my dear lord, 1 have never, never been in prison before,” Don’t cry, prisoner at the bar,” was the tearful rejoinder, “I am going to send you there uow.” There is now on view and for sale at the “ Centre of Commerce ” some of the choicest plants and flowering shrubs ever brought into Foxton, comprising camelias, azaleas, rhododendrons, and numerous other varieties. Most of the plants are in bud and bloom, and are a picture to see. When it is known that the collection is from the well-known nursery of Messrs Benefield & Sons, of Aramoho. buyers can rest satisfied that their name is a sufficient guarantee that the plants are of the best. A remarkable performance has been made by a one-legged cyclist named T. Klift, who arrived in Sydney the other day from Rockhampton, a distance by road of 1,460 miles. He was two months on the journey, but only 28 days were devoted to riding, so that the average covered was 55 miles a day. In rough country the day’s rides were sometimes not more than 30 miles. At other times he accomplished as much as go miles. His machine has only one pedal. The rider carried a swag of Solbs. Klift has entered for the Goulburn to Sydney road race, and he contemplates a ride from Adelaide to Port Darwin.

A peculiar incident took place shortly after eleven o’clock on Saturday night in the stable yard of a Masterton hotel. A young man, said to be a scrub-cutter from Te Purupurn, who earlier in the evening had engaged a bed there, on presenting himself at the hotel " after hours ” found the doors closed. Fearing he was locked out, he discharged a revolver in the hope of attracting no notice. He attracted more notice than he expected, for the police arrested him on the ground of discharging firearms in the borough. The revolver was stated to be loaded. —Age.

There are scores of men now on the streets most ot whom fought and many bled during the war—all British, all crying for work, and while they starve in the daytime and sleep at night under old carts or in barns or stables .... politicians in Eng-

land prate of slavery.” This is an extract from a letter written io a friend in England by an Englishman in Johannesburg, who adds: —“ Our wives and children cry for the bread we cannot give them, and Exeter Hall sends us the message across the water : ‘ Let you starve. You are not sacred Central African savages!” Thus the Wairarapa Times:—The representatives of the Prohibition Party waited upon the Premier, on Saturday last with a threat. The menace was the organisation of a Temperance Political Party, unless the Government brought in a satisfactory Bill to remedy the upsetting of the Newtown and Bruce Licensing polls. The Premier evidently does not want a Temperance Political Party, for he “ backed down ” and promised a satisfactory Bill. Apparently, the Prohibitionists have scored against him on this occasion, but they must expect him to hit back again when an opportunity presents itself. The Premier is not the sort of man to forget the taste of any leek which he is compelled to swallow,

Snowballing in Palmerston seems out of the ordinary, yet we are informed that one or two Foxton residents indulged in it this morning.

The Tararuas present a pretty sight now with its mantle of snow. The lower spurs are also snow-capped, and we doubt if it has ever been seen before in its present aspect. The Island of Kapiti is also capped with snow, an unusual sight, so the skippers say. A ''■!""■!!! .'•’0: d-'inkom-'T-ar Snlford (England) stated that worked at a flax mill horn 6 a.m. till 5 p.m. every day at a standing wage oi 5s 6d a week—a penny an week. _ She was discharged. Hurrah! “ Briton? never shall be slaves.”

During the passage of the Cunarder Campania from England to America recently, a Daily Bulletin was issued, edited by the purser, and supplied to 725 subscribers at zsd per copy. The paper resembled a parish magazine, and gave the passengers, besides the wireless the news of the World—gossip about the ship. But the most remarkable thing is this-at the end of the voyage there, was not a single subscription to the paper unpaid■ A world’s record.
