The Hon. lames Carroll states that the census returns already show that there has been a cni-Md'-rablc increase in the Maori population of the Hutt county, and that the children are healthy and strong. Mr D. Whibley, who has given up farming, has disposed of his farm on No. 1 Line to a Ballance gentleman at a satisfactory figure.

The catering of Mr .dark Perreau at the Laing Complimentary Social and the wedding dance last evening was spoken ot by all in the best terms. His rooms the other evening looked a picture, and there were sixty seated all told. The bakers of Palmerston North have resolved that in future they will refuse to change bread, a practice that is very common, and is attended with much danger from a health standpoint. It appears from the “ Public Health Act" that any baker guilty of this practice is liable to a penalty of J 620.

We have heard a few toasts oil “ The Press,” but we must heartily congratulate Mr Dan Heagerty on his speech in proposing “The Press” at the Farewell Complimentary Social at Mark Perreau’s the other evening. His oratory was certainly perfect, and his delivery distinct, and of sound thought. Undoubtedly, Mr Heagerty has oratory talent worth the mention, and his masterly speech of Tuesday evening has brought forth much eulogy from those who should know.

At a suitable interval at the “ Laing Farewell Social ’’ the other evening, Mr L. E. Reade (on behalf of numerous friends) presented Mr R. Noonan, late fire inspector for Foxton, with a purse containing a sum of money, as a mark of the goodwill existing between the recipient and his Foxton friends. Mr Reade hoped that the change of health hoped for, and which necessitated Mr Noonan’s departure, would be all for the better. Mr Noonan’s health was then drank, and the latter suitably returned thanks. It had been a great delight to him to render service to the town such as Mr Reade had referred to, notably iu connection with school cadets and fire inspecting. He hoped at some future date to renew many Foxton acquaintances. Rather a suprise was administered to Cr Shadbolt at the wedding breakfast yesterday In proposing “ The Ladies,’ the humourous “Shaddy” had related some incident of his life regarding warm toasting he had received at the hands of the fair sex. In an able speech proposing “ The Gentleman,” Mrs G. A. Simpson (the Mayoress) did not forget to recall the incident, at the sumo time clearly pointing out (in maintaining the rights of her sex) that Cr Shadbolt must have deserved all he got. Moreover, Mrs G. A. Simpson made things worse for the gents when she particularly requested that the toast be dnmk by the ladies in water —pure clear water. And it was done ; Bravo I We acknowledge our lady friends remarks, and admit we are equalled, if not beaten.

We are pleased to state that recent efforts made by Mr J. A. Nash regarding a particular railway want, have been successful. We refer to the matter of a lavatory car on the Palmerston-Foxton section. The happening of a few days ago, which necessitated the delay of the train at a side-station, was not missed by Mr Nash, who urgently and immediately instanced the affair to the Hon. Colonel Pitt, Acting Minister for Railways, and it is pleasing to know that the efforts of Mr Nash have borne fruit, for the Minister has replied stating that arrangements will be made to comply with the request at once. It will be remembered that in answer to the District Railway Conference, the Minister only recently replied that the Department could not see there was any necessity to grant this particular want. At Gisborne Mr Justice Chapman gave judgment in the case Glover v. Mill, the claimant being awarded .f 17 (on the basis of half wages) and cosrs. He had, whilst employed as a draper, lost the sight of one eye through an accident when doing a little carpentering work in the shop. His Honor said the claimant bad been tacitly allowed to do such work and the benefit of it had been accepted. He added :—“ We think that wftat he did was intended in furtherance of his employer’s interest, and that he regarded if as a necessary thing to do. If, as he said, the splint caught in his waistcoat and so interfered with his work, ii was to his interest that he shou’d remove the measure. In this country employment was not so narrowly specialise! that a man was nut expected to assist his employer occasionally in matters somewhat outside his dgily duties,” i
