The Debating Society cricketers journeyed to Moutoa yesterday, and suffered defeat by the Moutoa Club, the home team making 37 runs, whilst Foxton’s representatives only compiled 19. One innings match. The match, New Zaaland v. Wales, takes place on Saturday, and completes the International fixtures. It is said to be the hardest of the big matches to win, and we may expect the colonials put up their best performance in the contest.

Robert Browne, F.P.0.C., consulting optician, of Palmerston North, is visiting Foxton. Mr Browne has graduated from a College of Optometry, and while here may be consulted at Whyte’s Hotel, Byes examined by the objective and subjective \nethod. The local Defence Cadets, under Capt.

Phi'o'on'ier: Y'nngmnn, in order to succeed in life you must begin at the bottom and work up. Young man: That wasn’t my father’s motto. He began at the top and work ;d down. And made a failure, I suppose ? Not at all. He made a fortune—mining. The Wellington correspondent of the Lvttcltoa Times says:—“ The only thing new that moves in,the ■ electoral world is a rtuaaur'tiiai Mr Aitken has determined, if the present nearness of the balance turns in his favour, toresign so that Mr Taylor miy have ano her chance." We think it wou'd pay Tommy to stay at home. The latest political libel suit is said to be a writ against the Rev. L M.

A peculiar incident was witnessed at Rongomai recently. A settler saw a flight of starlings and sparrows frantically flving about a large riam tree. Presently he espied a stoat, which had evidently been bird-nesting, descend from one of the highest points of the tree, probably a distance of over forty feet. The birds, in their alarm, mode a noise sufficient to scare a tiger. The Wanganui Education Board have appointed Mr George D. Braik, M.A., Edin., 81, for 16 years Inspector of Schools in Southland, to the position of Chief Inspector, vacant by the appointment of Mr W. Gray as Principal of the Wellington Teachers’ Training College. Mr Braik possesses high attainments in political science, the theory of education, in science, and in literature, as well as good certificates for woodwork and music. The new Inspector is highly spoken of, and should be a worthy successor to Mr Gray.

Just at the conclusion of the barrel race yesterdav, Mr Frank Howie made an unsuccessful attempt to swim across the river with his barrel. When about half-way across he became exhausted, and called for help. Those near by in boats thought he was joking, but when he had gone to the bottom once it was seen there was no joke attached to it, and a boat made for the scence at rapid pace and securing Frank, took him to a less watery clime, much to his satisfaction. A former resident of Wellington, Mr V. Harris, who was well.known some years back in connection with the Columbia Skating Rink, and is now in business in Brazil, has written te Messrs Dwan Bros., instructing them to get information and prices for a large number of gold-mining dredges, which it is his intention to put on several auriferous rivers in Brazil, for which he has obtained concessions from the Government. Mr Harris says the rivers are immensely rich. One dredge has already started working, and it is said to bo making £6OO per day. Mr Harris, having known something of dredging while in New Zealand, thinks he will be able to get better satisfaction by having the dredges built in this colony instead of in England. It is the intention of Messrs Dwan Bros, to purchase several second-hand dredges for immediate delivery, but they will place the orders for a number ot new dredges among the Wellington foundries, as soon as they receive a reply from Mr Harris, to whom they have already forwarded specifications and drawings of dredges likely to suit.

The final result of the Wellington East seat gives Mr Aitken a majority of 11 over Mr McLean.

After an interview with the Chief Magistrate at Norfolk Island, Mr Garruthers, the State Premier, stated that the coffee industry was ruined by the Federal Tariff and the absence of shippng facilities.

The mail coach from Warkworih to DevOnport, Auckland, capsized over a bank at Takapuna on Monday. It contained five male passengers. Joseph Scholium, aged thirty-three, single, residing at Puhoi, was thrown out on to the road and received concussion of the brain, from which he died this evening. John Casey had a wrist broken. The other passengers and the driver escaped injury.

A hard-handed toiler of work who entered the Hawera polling booth for his maiden vote stepped straight up to the officials and bluntly said “ I want to vote lor Mr Major, sir.” Interrogated as to whether he wanted to vote for continuance, &c., he replied; “ I want to vote -for Mr Major.” Further questioned as to voting for “ pubs or no pubs,” the yokel still reiterated his preference for “Mr Major sir,” —and King Dick.
