Mr Meikle is at a loss to understand the definition of the Premier’s title P.C.L.L.D. He would put it down at meaning “ Poor Chap, Lord Love Dick.” And the people laughed. A very pretty but quiet ceremony was solemnised at the residence of the bride’s parents at Wanganui on Friday last, when Miss Florence Crane was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mr E. Healey, our local chemist. We join with many others in wishing the happv couple all future prosperity and happiness. The Manawatu Standard in referring to onr leader of Saturday last, ad vocating the establishment of a Museum in Foxton, says the people of Foxton are too busy making money out of flax to think of such trivial affairs. The sentiments may have been well-meant, but onr millers will not vouch for their truthfulness. What with floods and fires they aver they are having a particularly depressing time.

The Agent-General cables: “Hemp market unchanged since cabling last week.”

Messrs Hickson and Reeves extend thanks to those who assisted in putting their fire out on Saturday. Wellington, it is reported, is to have a new (Tidy paper which will be conducted on non-party linos. The final rounds for the presentation Rifle will commence at the local range to morrow afternoon. Throughout Mr Meikle’s address in Main Street last night, a faint “ Hear, hear,” was verv noticeable, Cnmmerfielcl and Spring are offering great reductions at their present sale.

Dame rumour is responsible for the ifalement that; following ancient cus-

toms, a silver cradle is shortly to form an article of presentation in our midst.

A man was arrested in Christchurch on Tuesday last charged with the theft of a pair of bowls, Title is the first case- of the kind bn record. The Manawatn Standard says probably the criminal will be cremated if his guilt is proved.

The representatives of fire insurance companies doing business in New Zealand are sitting in conference in Wellington. The proceedings are private, hut it is understood that the chief mat tar under consideration is the lowering of rates by tlie State Fire Insnranee Department. A social event which is being talked about is the repotted engagement of a well known professional gentleman, a widower, to the wealthy widow of a colonial magnate who died abroad some time back under particularly distressing circumstances. The date of the ceremony is not yet announced,—Manawatn Standard, *

The Ashburton “ (Guardian ’ reports that an Ashburton resident has received a novel postcard from a friend at present on a visit to Stewart Island. The card Consists of a large leaf of a water lily; the ,stair)p being sewed on to tlie leaf. The Writing is in ink on the light-coloured nnder-slde ;of the leaf, and is quite legible. There is at present on a visit to England a youngster of ten years of age who is said to be the strongest hoy on earth. His nanle is Michael Urban!, and in his stotkinged feet he stands not much more than three and a-half feet high. A German by birth, he is a positive marvel. Without witnessing his feats, the majority of which he has learned within the last four and twenty months, it is almost impossible to credit the feasibility,

A prominent Christchurch Resident who has been visiting Sydney, says : Commercial milters are at preseni very depressed. Everyone he spoke to seemed to think the people had lost heart, and the labor laws so restrictive and harassing, that people would not venture in any enterprise. The managing director of a very large and important firm at Homo, with agencies in all the colonies, told him that he would advise his company to withdraw as much as possible from Australasia, and not put anv more money into nper aU ms there, ’Practically all the business men the director had spoken to were so disheartened that they would, if Ihcv could, soil out and leave, hut the times were so had that they could not sell out to advantage.

At an enthusiastic public meeting, held at Eketahuna, and attended by every business man in town, it was de cided to form a chamber of commerce, and to take steps to convert the (ownship either into a borough or a low > district. A resolution was, also, passed asking for a report of a depart mental official on the relative claims of Eketaluma and Masterlon to a daily mad service with Kaiparoro. Represent.! tions having been made to the railway department that stock had been damaged in transit to Wellington, an inquiry was held here a few days ago, when it was understood the evidence taken absolved the department of any responsibility. In connection with the Wellington Racing Club’s last meeting, the New Zealand Times says some person published and circulated an unofficial race-card, a considerable number of which were sold about the city and at the railway stations. This means that the enterprising persons who gave £igo for the privilege of selling the “ correct ” card will be considerable losers. Owing to the chib not having taken the precaution to have the matter contained in the race-card registered, as is done in Melbourne and Sydney, legal action cannot be taken in the matter.

The following tale is related of a small school not far beyond the boundaries of Kaponga. Jlist before Christmas one of the committee, who always boasted about his proficiency in education'and the deep interest he took in the well being of the youngsters, walked along to the school to wish the kids a Merry Christmas. The master suggested that the committeeman might like to question the pupils on the lesson just then in progress. Doubtless the teacher was “ making his alley good.” The shot told. Turning to the class, the highly educated farmer asked, “What is the capital of Olland ?” “H 1” was the answer of a small boy at the top of the class. “That will do, thank you,” said the visitor, humbly, and he left hurriedly.—Mail.
