It is understood that Mr - Yates has been for some time preparing a work of ' Personal iieminweence!',' t<' which he will now be able to add a new and exe'tinj/ chapter. . . The Wpodville correspondent of a Wellington exchange writes as follows : — " Spiritualism has found root in Woodville, and I km pleased to note this fact ; it proves th>>t in our midst we have : a^. {Tenuine clasa of " truth* seekera," and n" determination to put aside the vain falsities of orthodox teachings. We act .fei^rlessly. Vand openly in freethoupht principles, and are doing, and intend doing, our utmost to disseminate light and truth among our community." We trust this correspondent is drawing on bis imagination for his facts.

[ The New Zealand Herald's Waikato Correspondent writes :— The cheese factory to be opened at Wairoa South by Messrs Ingram and Co. will be less for, the" raH'kiiig of cheese than the uianufac~| turebfj gutter for' ©xptyrtaiiioii aq(| con-j densiug or milk. Cheese will be mude from the skim milk expressly for the! Indian market. Rich cheese, such as that inad^ in the Waikato factories, would sell well enough amongst the European population of India, but not among the. t , natives, which would be the' chief source of consumption. For these ' it must be made free from fat, and mixed I with caira way ae'dds. The building 'of : tb'e factory 1 will be ' commenced -immedi>i ately, so that.everything may, be in readii ness for a start by the Ist of October next.
