Mr "Stead Ellis, Secretary of the Nelson Education Board, has sent the following letter to the chairman of the Motueka School Committee :—Re alleged nuisance at teachers residence. I am directed by the Board to ask you to be good enough to inform the Borough Council that the County Council are going to be requested to permit their engineer to examine into this question and report to the Board, when it is hoped a satisfactory solution of the difficulty may be arrived at. The time is not far distant, said the Premier at the Canterbury dinner last Monday night when, in view of the importance of the large centres of Canterbury and Wellington, we must have steamers which would land passengers in Lyttelton six hours after leaving Wellington. “ And you will get them, too,” declared Mr Seddon, when he observed that some of his audience were incredulous. With the ISorth Island Main Trunk line completed, with this line of fast steamers to Lyttelton, with a ferry service to Picton, and the railway finished to Cheviot, Canterbury would be brought into very close touch with the ISTorth Island. Reporting on the Ormonde school to the Hawke’s Bay Education Board Inspector Hill said that while there was much that was commendable he regretted to say that during the whole of his experience he had never been so grossly insulted as by the master Mr fepui rel, who told him that he and the whole Board could ‘'go to blazes.” The demand in AVellington for poultry for Christmas has evidently induced certain persons to pay nocturnal visits tathe hen-roosts. A number of poulMJpTbwneri in the city are bemoaning xne lbss of their choicest birds. The latest Stain-remover.—To taVe out fruit-stains from cotton, muslin, or any light article, take the stained article and damp it. Then burn a little sulphur, holding it under the damp portion of the cloth, and the stain will vanish. The first Newcastle coal ever landed at the L apier breakwater is now being discharged there. *** Subscription to the MOTUEKA STAR • —Three Shillings and.
