Dr Martin, speaking at Palmerston Nortli, on Thursday night, gave a reason tor the somnolence so often displayed in church. “ Mental fatigue,” he said, “ L often well seen in churches when a prosy preacher addresses his congregation. The dull, dreary, drip-drip of a monotonous sermon soon exerts its influence. The hearing centie of the hrain is lulled into activity, and neighboming regions of the brain are speedily affected resulting in a sudden loss of control, and a sudden relaxation of the muscles of the back of the neck. Then the senseless head nods and nods again. Then the chin meets the chest, and the sleeper awakes with a start and gazes round affrightedly in a state of semi-somnolence, I have observed this frequently in Scotland, where the sermons are proverbially long and prosy, and where the churches are warm and stuffy.

Mr Byron Brown, a political candidate for Otaki, writes to the “ Levin Farmer” complaining of the unlair reports published in the“ Otaki Mail.” In one part of his effusion, he says : “ Out of 26 addresses delivered, Wereroa is the only one that could be called hostile, and I enjoyed it very much, because unanimous votes of confidence were getting monotonous. It tested those fighting qualities that will serve me in good stead when I shall be meeting Mr Scddon in the House fighting for, instead of against, the Weraroa electors.”

At the Audit Commission on Wednesday, Mr Fisher, M.H.R., crossexamined by Dr Findlay, said he was satisfied that Captain Seddon never received payment on account of the voucher seen by Willis and others.

Pressed as to whether it was genuine or not, lie said it was an inexplicable mystery. He could not provide a theory. He denied emphatically that he had stated that Willis had misled him. Witness later said it seemed that the voucher must have been a hoaxed one,

It will be seen from the advertisement published elsewhere that the “ Sunbeam Party ” have selected several of the latest successes as items for the Athletic concert next week. Included in the list arc such excellent numbers as “ My Heart’s to-night in Texas,” “ The Pas‘sion Flower,” “ I’m trying so hard to Forget,” “ Phoebe,” and the latest child success “ Why don’t they play with me.” There are also three items with a wgltz refrain, while “ Under a Panama ” and “ Ma Rainbow Coon ” border slightly on the comic, and these should help Mr Joe Crabtree to vary the performance somewhat. The opening and final choruses in the first part have been well arranged, and are sure to the audience. “ Woodland Echoes,” the final sketch, has been well rehearsed, and should send people home in a laughing mood. A glance at the programme in another column will speak for itself. A bumper house should result. A few reserved chairs are being hooked at 3s. A final rehearsal will be lurid on Tuesday night, when all taking part are requested to attend. Mr R. Edwards supplies the “ Manaw«tu Standard ” with particulars relating to the formation of the Manawatu Agricultural and Pastoral Association.

At that initial meeting wore Mr John Stevens, the late Mr McKelvie and others from Rangitikei, Mr John Davis of Wirokino, Mr J. Carter of Moutoa, the late Mr A. J. Whyte of Foxton, the late J. T. Dalrymple of Rangitikei, the late E. S. Thynne of Foxton, and, the correspondent thinks, Messrs Gower and Eebbell. The Government were applied to for a grant of land in Palmerston North for the Show ground, and ultimately part of the present site was allotted for the purpose. Two of the 1878 members gat beside each other at the smoke concert the other evening, viz., Messrs R Edwards and J. Davis.
