Mr Derrick, of Foxton, finds a ready market for his pigeons, and judging by their quality, there is little wonder.

Four months after, more than half of the birds had found their way back to their Foxton quarters. Mr Derrick is said to have as many as 80 pigeons often flying at the same time.

Thursday night last must stand as a record for the numer of meetings and entertainments. There were no less than five different affairs to engage our attention,, viz:—Special meeting of Council; important football meeting; Methodist welcome social; presentation to Mr and Mrs Levett and daughters; and wedding celebration at the residence of Mr and Mrs Reeve. The Morrtnsville correspondent of the “ Waikato Times ” states that deer are so plentiful in the Maungakawa ranges, Waikato, that the natives have abandoned old cultivations on account of their depredations. Twenty years ago the native owners considerably outnumbered the deer. To-day there are one hundred deer for every adult native owner.

He returned, however, to the highwayman’s trade, robbed large numbers of travellers, and raided farmhouses and isolated villas.

With this week’s “ Canterbury Times ” commences the work by William Le Quex dealing with the siege of London, entitled “The Invasion of 1910.” The tfaval chapters are submitted by H. W. Wilson. The work should bo widely read, and those who wish to acquire knowledge of Britain’s affairs should become subscribers to the weekly journal, at least while the serial lasts. A photogravure of the picture, “ The Light of the World,” is also included in this week's issue of the " Canterbury Times." One of the objections made by the natives to the Maori census enumerators was (says the “Wairoa Guardian”), that the pakeba wanted to count up all the Maoris with the object of seeing how many they had to shoot! Another great object was the fear of taxation. At Kihitu one old woman objected to having her name entered, but it was done without her consent, and the enumerators then ptoceeded to enter the children, when she ordered them to hide in the corn; and then might have been witnessed the spectacle of two enumerators in chase of six picanninies, who, after a smart sprint for safety, will still figure m the census returns.

Police methods often come in for criticism, but the case of the Newcastle (England) constable reported recently has the merit of originality, and was entirely successful. It is an old trick to burn cayenne pepper on cotton wool for the purpose of annoyance, but to utilise it as a test fur thieves in hiding is decidedly novel. The constable, suspecting burglars in a public-house, got cotton wool and cayenne pepper passed it through a broken window which was ten feet from the ground. Immediately afterwards it took effect, for he heard someone cough. He then telephoned for assistance, and two men were very soon in custody, A most useful and original innovation of wide interest is a milk testing competition taken up by the Winter Show Committee at Palmerston North. The contest is described as follows Milk Testing Competition (Babcock method) open to farmers’ sons and daughters, public and high school students. No competitor allowed to take part who is engaged in a dairy factory or creamery, or in the teaching of dairy work. First prize, one hand milk tester. Judge, the dairy commissioner, J. A- Kinsella, Esq., and commences at 12 noon, Thursday. 21 st June. The competition will be on the following basis Sampling, temperatures, strength of acid, acidmeter, adding acid and mixing, whirling machine, reading test, washing up glasware, etc. The utensils are provided for competitors. Already interest has stimulated the formation of classes in two dairy districts near Palmerston North to assist competitors in gaining efficiency. Full particulars can be bad from the secretary, Mr J. C. Lane, Palmerston North.

Mr and Mrs Reeve further celebrated the wedding of Miss Ahern to Mr Dunn on Thursday, by inviting friends to their residence to again accept of their hospitality. The Borough Councillors and other prominent citizens were entertained at luncheon at mid-day, whilst otherwise a splendid time was spent. In the evening the house was placed at the disposal of invited guests, and dances enjoyed to the tuneful and timely playing of Mrs Reeve. Vocal items were rendered by Messrs R. Quick, Cannell, R. Grace, and J. Gillies, whilst a cake-walk was contributed by Miss May Laing and Mr Sutherland. Many lively choruses were heartily indulged in by those present, and after a tasty supper bad been partaken of by guests and ringing cheers for the host and hostess, an enjoyable party was brought to a close. A iurtbsr card party was held last evening.

For bronchial coughs and colds, Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure, 1/6 and 2/6 per bottle. We regret to learn that Mrs Leveti's health took a serious turn yesterday, so serious that Drs O’Brien and Rogers were called to her aid. Mrs Lovett felt well enough to leave her room on Thursday evening to attend the presentations given to herself and family, and unfortunately this may have caused a relapse. Rev. Father Schafer was called up from «Otaki. We sincerely trust that the afflicted lady may soon be restored to good health.

An amusing episode is reported in connection with the wedding celebration of Thursday night. A couple of gents who had been supplied with a roasted duck for appetising purposes, preferred to taste of their prize m the cool outside air. So they accordingly took up a position in the back garden, and commenced devouring the wild poultry. They became so interested and delighted in the task before them that they noticed not the approach of a lady armed with that useful com-modity—-the teapot. The lady in question could not very well discern the figures of mere men iu the darkness, and without warning, the duck* gorgers received the full force of the tea-pot leaves. ResultA few harsh words from the aggrieved personages, an apology from the tea-pot dispenser, the joke reported freely, and much laughter at the expense of the culprits. They were old enough to know better, but both promise a warm time to anyone they find in similar positions. So beware! However, they always partake of meals now in daylight.
