Tenders are called for purchasing the old water-closet in front of the new State school. For particulars see L. W, Wilson, secretary.

The Foxton Borough Brass Band played a number of selections in Main street on Saturday night, which were greatly appreciated. Felix Tanner says he intends to construct a “barrel," and will endeavour to sail it to LytteltOM, afterwards exhibiting the craft at the Exhibition. Mr Alf. Shadbolt, proprieter of the Manawatu Hotel, tenders a complimentary dinner to all Clubs and members of the Executive on different Saturdays. The High Commissioner cables : “There is a better demand for hemp; the average prize of g.f.a.q. Wellington on spot to-day is'£3l 10s; April June shipments quoted at £Bl per ton.” We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of an Almanack from Mr Herston Frankland, local agent for the South British Fire and Marine Insurance Company. By the way, this company now deal with accident liabilities. Some of the navvies who came out in the Tongariro are married, and most of these brought their wives and families with them. They have ascertained that it is altogether out of the question to take their wives and children to Ohakune, and have had to make the best arrangements they can for providing for them either in Wellington or at Wanganui—in either case an expensiue contingency not anticipated when they left England. It is on record that a party of sports, who were said to have been better at locating space ihan game when aiming with the fowlpieco, returned home after an hour’s outing the other morning, with the excuse that they were not used to going without breakfast. One member of the party, who has a touch of sporting instinct, got riled, but rather than be “on his own,” followed in the footsteps of his associates, and became so disgusted with New Zealand sports that he placed himself in the care of Morphea#, and it is said even the pin test will not wake him from his slumber now. Talk of ducks to him is now foreign. In the case of John R, Stansell, Waikanae, flaxmiller, v. the WellingtonManawatu Railway Co., claim £llO 18s 4d, judgment was given for the amount claimed and costs. Plaintiff had a contract to cut flax from the swamp at £IOO per annum. During certain months in 1901 and 1902 he desired the railway trucks to stop at Makerua, and got them by paying to the company £25 per month, which amounted in all to £ll6 18s 4d. Plaintiff contended that this charge was an addition to the freight, and claimed that he was entitled to a refund under the contract made between the Government and the Manawatu Company, which governed, amongst ocher matters, the amount of freight to be charged. An Auckland telegram says Mrs McOaig, a visitor from Fiji, was assaulted by a burglar at Devonport the other night. She entered her bedroom when the thief seized her by the throat and neck, and dragged her to the door, thrusting his fingers down her throat to prevent her screaming. Then he bolted. When the other occupants of the house arrived, the thief had disappeared, and the woman, who was in a weak state of health, fainted, remaining unconscious for some little time. Her luggage was overhauled, ten sovereigns being stolen.

Dr O’Brien paid an urgent visit to Foxton by motor on Saturday last to attend to patients.

A special meeting of the Borough Council is to be held on Thursday for the purpose of striking a special rate for a £IOOO loan. The tender of Mr Theo. Easton, £l4 10s, was accepted by the Borough Council last evening for the erection of a morgue for Foxton.

Noonan has resigned his position as fire inspector at Foxton, owing to leaving for the South shortly. A transfer of ranging and nlghtsoil duties was granted by the Council last night from 0. Haack to J. Haack, The former recently left for Germany, being urgently called away owing to the illness of a relative. Whilst Council were commenting on the verdict In the Symons case last evening, Cr Shadbolt, turning to Mrs Symons’ solicitor, exclaimed: “Do yon think Mrs Symons is likely to take aP.N. ?" Possibly the crippled state of Borough finance made him speak thus,

Last night a well attended meeting at \\\ Saints schoolroom made the preliminary arrangements for a sale of work and entertainment, to be held on the 6th and 7th of June, Besides the more usual sales there will be a “ jumble ” stall. People are asked to ook through their possessions and stores and see what they can spare for this stall of things (new or second-hand) for which they have no longer a use. In competitions there should be special interest for the ladies in the show of cats, also in the decorated cycles and prams, and in the pincushions. Men will have their delight in sewing on buttons, while there is a whisper of a Punch and Judy show to enrapture young and old. A welcome social is to be tendered to the Rev. J. and Mrs Southern at the Primitive Methodist schoolroom on Thursday evening. See advertisement.
