As notified in another column of this issue the business lately conducted by Messrs Cummetfleld and Spring as grocers and general storekeepers has been taken over by a new firm, Messrs ' Lye Moon and Co., who commence business as from to-day. As soon as the firni gets properly under way full stocks in all lines will be available for inspection by the public. MrJ. T. Notl, well-known as a lecturer on scientific and literary subjects, has been engaged by the Foxton Literary and Debating Society to give ' a lecture in the Masonic Hall on Wed ■ nesday next. June 21st, when ha will ' deal with " Old New Zealand : Peeps iutd the untrodden Mr Nott has recently been lecturing before large audiences in Wellinglon and Auckland, and Foxton residents who go to hear him are promised a treat. Mr Vile, M.H.R., wrote to the Borough Council on Monday that he would he pleased to represent it during the coming session of Parliament. On the motion of the Mayor, seconded by Or Baker, Mr Vile was thanked. Reference was made to the old Maori Cemetery, railway time-table, and necessary verandah at the station, as matters in which the member’s energies might be utilised. At the Borough Council meeting on Monday evening Cr Baker moved that the Railway Department be asked to adjust the Foxton railway time-table to that the train now leaving here at 3.x0 p.rn. leave early enough to catch the mail train to Wellington at Longburn. It was pointed out that tin difference now was only about 15 minutes. The motion was carried. In response to a communication from the Borough Council Messrs Martin and Addnson, s Jicuors, of Wellington, have explained the pro posed omission of the v >xton Reserves Act, 1878, No. 41, from a new compilation of the New Zealand statutes. The object of the proposed repeal—which affects also the local acts of all kinds of local bodies in New Zealand, and has no allusion to special circumstances —is to remove from the statute hook all acts which have served their purpose. The Foxion Reserves Ac directed a deed of conveyance to be ex cutedbvthe Governor. This deed was executed in 18S5, but the last proviso of the act, viz., that relative to leasing, was a substantive enactment, and not merely a direction that something should be put into the deed of conveyance (as was the case with the earlier provisions). It appears, however, that the matter of this last proviso is in the deed, and the law draughts man thinks the act may properly be repealed, as the deed now takes i's place. The proposed repeal, the solicitors considered, does not affect the rights or liabilities ot the council. The following are some illustrations for the benefit of teetotallers. Synalepha is the cutting off of a vowel at the end of a word before another at the beginning of a word—as 11 Ishaway we have in t ti’ Army.” Ecthlipsis is the cutting off >.f the letter “in” before an-'ther Wl -,,-d—as, “ We won’t go ho’ till morning.” Crisis’ is the contraction of two syllables into one —as “T 11 d light d •'■■-h ’ppear.” Diaeresis is tne resolving of one syllable into two —as, “ Fhe sha jolly good fuf-fellow.” The narffe “ White Tsar,” by which the Emperor of Russia is known throughout all Asia, is the literal translation—in Russian “ Biely Tsar,” in Mongol “ Tchagau Khan ”—of the pre sent corrupted form of the Chinese character “Hwang,” meaning “emperor.” The symbol used to express this idea was originally composed of the characters meaning “ oneselt and “ruler,” “Hwang” therefore being equivalent to “ autocrat.” But, by the omission of a stroke, the symbol equiva Gilt to “ oneself ” was changed into the symbol equivalent to “white,” and hence the Chinese word for “ emperor becarne in Russian and Mongol the “White Tsar." In this issue appears an advertisement from Messrs Colliuson and Cunninghame, drapers, of Palmerston North to which the attention of readers lis directed. The firm is a compara : tivelv new one, but bv merit of the stocks carried has worked itself in public favour.
