“Now. Mrs H . jnst toll Ha Worship what actually happened on the night in question.” The witness tur ed to the Bench. “ Your Honour,” she said, “ before batin’ me the defendant used threatening and abusive language to mo.” “Yes,” said her solicitor encouragingly. “ what was the language nssd.” “ Shuro Sir.” replied the witness, “ it’s not fit for any decent or resnecta'nle person to hoar ” “ Oh. well in that case,” said the solicitor, “ just whisper it to His Worship.”

“One Go'd Turn Deserves Another ” is evidently a forgotten motto of the Foxton Borough Brass Band S me months ago a party of enter ta'ntrs, organised with the view of aiding local "bje'-ts, a«m«ted ( he Band hv ’u v ’vid : ng a" enG r tai-’mcT for their benefit. The same party had the audacity to approach the Band last night 'o r,l ,y ouishle the Public H <M on rare nights. with the proviso that if the affah turned oip a success thf Band would receive a donation. But the B ind could not see hs way clear to acce-t such nnsUtl d terms. The” have laid down ah -rd >nd fast ni’e—end 'hey inn -t, without doubt, b - paid for them s-r.-ices. Hence, they w re c mp'-lled to refuse tli • solicitations of evm their benefactor. We cannot commend the Band’s action, and thus drop the topic with feelings of disgust!

The price of boots and shoes is likely to rise steadily in the near future. A Mauawatu Standard reporter has been paying a visit to the boot retailors of Palmerston North and finds that such is the case, and that the cost of footwear will increase about 7 per cent.

A certain bishop, as he was going ab >ut his diocese, asked the porter of a lunatic asylum how a chaplain whom he (the Bishop) had lately appointed was getting on. “Oh, my lord,” said the man, “his preaching is most successful. The hediots henjoys it partickler.”

A man named John Cook, after being sentenced to one month’s imprisonment at the Christchurch Magistrate’s Court for being an idle and disorderly person, said to the Magistrate, “ I hope you’ll never bo able to give another.” Mr*H. W. Bishop, S.M., had the man brought back and increased the sentence to three months.

At the Christchurch Police Court Matthew Livingstone pleaded guilty to a charge of keeping a common gaming house. Sentence Was deferred. Matthew Barnett and Peter Grant, on a similar charge, elected to be tried by a jury, and after hearing the evidence the Magistrate committed both accused for trial, bail being allowed.

The- mother of Miss J. Robertson, who was cut to pieces by a train at, Sf-ndhblme last week (says the Oamaru Mail) met with a tragic end 15 or 16 years ago. She walked out of the house at Oamaru early one summer morning, and was never seen again. However, part of an arm and portions of her dress were subsequently fonnd on the bank of the Waitaki river.

At Greymouth last week Mr Seddon, in stating that the cutting up of large estates was the fixed policy of the colony, pointed out that last session the Government had been “ blocked” from getting a vote of £250,000 for this purpose. Next session he would ask Parliament for more, in order to facilitate cutting up big estates. A New York cable says Charles O’Donnell, a notorious Sydney-side burglar, who robbed a bank at Boston, killed the watchman, and escaped, and who was subsequently sentenced in Germany for robbing a bank messenger’ of £15,000 in 1889, has now been extradited. He will undergo a long sentence for the Boston offence. The service clasps “ South Africa, 1901,” and ”1902,” for officers, noncommissioned officers, and men who served with New Zealand corps in the Hoer war, are expected to arrive in the colony next month. Persons entitled to them should make application through the officers commanding the respective districts. It can blow in Wellington on occasion, but Dunedin would appear to hold the New Zealand record. The “ Star,” in illustrating the strength of the wind in the Southern city on Friday, savs that a pedestrian who was crossing the Octagon near the Douglas Hotel was lifted off his feet and deposited in the gutter ; while a little girl, who was carrying an umbrella, was blown across the street. At the same time a hat was seen soaring above the Town Hal! spire. Writing on the day of the match Hew Zo land v. England, a London correspondent says:—“ At the office of the Crystal Palace yesterday scores of telegrams were coining in from people who wanted to buy seats at enhanced prices, and from others who were desirous of selling at a profit seats already purchased- Some /"8000 has had to be returned to applicants who applied through the post for places after all the scats had been disposed of. For a6s seat yesterday a stockbroker offered £5. Although the Duke of Manchester could nt be acc unodated with four 5s s ats for which he offered £lO, the Crystal P.dace Oommitta built four special seats for the Duke and his party, and invited him to be their guest.

The wri er of the following letter must -ither bo an “ aggrieved ” person or a '■ humourist." However, his sentences appear to be written in a jocular strain. This is how his correspondence reached is“ To the editor of the Manawato Hkrald, Sir.—Lost, stolen or strayed, a man of middle age, about sft Tin.; dressed in bine dungaree pants; was I is. seen m tlv Avenue near onr new oonc'-'ete cu'vert, ant who is supposed to be a bricklayer by trade. It's* to be hoped he has not fallen into the big digout at the Avenue bridge and been covered up with the drifting sand during the late great storm. I think it is the duty of our city old women to offer a substantial reward for the recovery of the above individual, dead or alive, before they commence to fill in that big hole in the Avenue, near the windmill. Trusting you will find a corner in your valuable paper to insert this brief note, as your paper goes to the four quarters of the globe.—l am, &0., * Woman with a Pram. ’ ” Possibly our correspondent aims his remarks at the Avenue culvert. Ho should be pleased to learn that a s' art was made with the work this morning.
