Messrs Ross and Co., of the Bon Marche, Palmerston, have a re-place advertisement in this issue intimating the commencement of their summer clearance of fashionable and family drapery on Saturday 14th, when bargains in drapery, clothing, furnishing, and boots will be available in abun dance for buyers. When is a man dt home ? This question was decided by a London Police Magistrate in regard to a man who was leaning out of his window and used bad language to a passer-by, “The offending parts of your body were outside,” said the magistrate. “If your legs had beet! outside and your head ftt, It would have been different. Fined 10?.” At Akitio a shearer named A. Carmichael clipped 235 sheep in one day. For several days his tally ranged from 230 to 2Jo, Stid he seldom sheared below 2to per day. Four other shearers at the same place averaged over 200 a day. At Flat Point (East Coast) good tallies were also put up by some of the shearers. Mr Tom Lemington was the “ringer” with 231 for one day’s work; A crocodile, 17ft long, captured after nine weeks’ continuous Watching by Mr Robert Lee, at Getalton, Queens land, has been safely housed at the Melbourne The reptile’s right forearm is broken off at the second joint, which is taken to indicate that it has previously escaped capture.

Wanganui is much concerned in reference to its new water supply. The Chronicle says:—" At present the water is palpably muddy; after it has stood a while there is a copious sediment of a very tenacious kind of clay, which is loth to part company with anything with which it comes in contact. The water is useless for cooking purposes, it is unfit for bath or toilet use, and if an attempt is made to wash some clothes with it, it is a substitution ot one kind of dirt tor another, and the colour of the clothes is enough to break the heart ot any laundress who takes any pride in her work.”

We are led to understand that a local runholder got a good “ bag ” the other evening. He brought to earth a couple of blood-hounds, who had succeeded in worrying about forty of his sheep. The same run-holder vainly attempted to put the lights out of a canine whose namesake defied many an enemy during the Boer war. But “ Botha,” after receiving two charges of lead, gave evidence that he wished to see a little more of this world by regaining his paws, and, successfully evading the flying bullets, scampered home in record time. If any persons have valuable canine pets- they dont wish to lose, they would do well to keep them on the chain if such pets have a tendency to worry sheep, as run-holders are rightly entitled to put an end to the days of the “ dawg ” that worries his sheep. A carriage containing a bridal couple drove through one of the western gates of the city of Paris on a recent morning. The vehicle stopped as usual before the local customs' office, but the officer in charge being used to seeing wedding parties passing in and out, motioned the driver to proceed. The horses stumbled, and the vehicle, being jolted against a dray, was nearly overturned. With a smile the polite octroi official hastened up to the door of the carriage to help the bridal couple to alight. The however, never stirred a muscle; in fact, he seemed insensible, and when the official got him out of the vehicle he was found to be a dummy, Skilfully made of india-rubber, and containing about ten gallons of brandy. The bride” fainted, and the bridegroom was confiscated.

A clergyman, a widower, recently created quite a sensation in his household, which consisted of seven grownup daughters. The reverend gentleman was absent for a number of days. The daughters received a letter from their father, which stated that he had married a widow with six sprightly children, and that he might be expected home at a certain time. The effect of the news was a shock to the happy family. The girls, noted for their meekness and amiable temperaments, seemed another set of beings ; there was weeping and wailing, and all manner of naughty things said. The tidy home was neglected, and when the day of arrival came, the house was anything but inviting. At last the Rev. Mr Goodman came, but he was alone. He greeted bis daughters as usual, and as he viewed the neglected apartments, there was a merry twinkle in his eye. The daughters were nervous, and evidently anxious. “ Where is our mother ?" “In Heaven,” said the good man. “ But where is the widow with the six children, whom you wrote that you had married ?” The minister, delighted at the success of his little joke replied : “ Why, I married her to another man, my dears.”

This is how the Tracy City (Tenn.) Times reports a wedding:—“Lewis Rollings and Miss Pearl Cox, after several months of heart-to-heart conversation on the perfumed avenue of love, passed under the roseate archway of Hymen, where soul meets soul oh waves of ecstatic feelings,”

The Foxton Borough Brass Band played a selected programme of music last evening in Main Street, which considerably enlivened the town. We hope to record many such outings, and this form of practise does much more good than haunting the precincts_ of the band room. The Band is showing great improvement musically lately. Mr Robt. Cobb (the stud breeder) has secured a farm of 520 acres of limestone country in the Utiku district on the Main Trunk railway line, where he intends to demonstrate that his flock of Romney Marsh sheep will thrive equably well in that high country as they have done for the last 25 years on the swamp lands of the Manawatu. For this purpose he will be removing bis stud some time next month.

Mr Poole, dentist, Palmerston N-* Who feOently opened it brandh of his business in Foxton, announces that he has secured the services of Mr Elliott Hill, of Wellington, to take charge of his Foxton biisinesss Those who require the services of a dentist, may rely upon receiving careful and skilful treatment in both the surgical and mechanical branches of dentjstry, Mr Hill being a thoroughly qualified and efficient.dentist, having in addition to the ordinary examination taken a special course under Hr LoWe, D.D.S., L.D.S., (Guy’s Hospital). A special feature will be the painless extraction of any number of teeth, by means of a new’ anaesthetic, which, though it does not deprive the patient of consciousness in ariy degree, allows an absolutely safe and painless operation, a very great boon to many people who are unwilling to incur the discomfort (and possible risk) of chloroform, or the increased expense of nitrous oxids gas-
