The Waipawa Mail says ; — A gentleman of this town, who has recently visited Dunedin informs nsthat h« has seen nothing m that part of the world to tempt him to leave Hawke's Bay. He describes the trip by train along the Waimea Valley as disheartening m the extreme. The hills oil either side arc covered with snow, and the valley itself is poor and stoney. It is mostly arable land, and our quite misses, he says, th>grecu pastures of Hawke's Bay. In one paddock ho came across a pig and a sheep. Tho pig was rooting furiously, and the sheep was looking: on to sec what might come up from below, for there was nothing on the surf act 1 . . A seal, measuring about 7ft 6in m length was killed at the Lyltleton Pilot Station on Sunday, by Mr Neil Galbraitli. The Inspector of Schools remarked to the Board of E l ucation yesterday (says Wednesday's Evening News), that something ought to be done to check the drinking propensities of some 7 of the teichers m the Hawko's Bay. He had had to go 200 miles after one man, whose conduct had been 'most disgraceful. His committee, however, took the teacher's part, said he was a very good man, and hushed the matter up. Such conduct m a teacher, he considered, .must have a bad effect on the moral tone of the school. Says Wednesday's Post : — Threo subpoena* were signed this morning for the attendance of witnesses who will be required to give their att«ndauce at the Magistrate's Court on Tuesday next m thoHutt tarring caso.' Although signed it is stated the subpoenas will not he served till late m the week. The witnesses referred to consist of the Hon. P. A. Buckley and three Justices of the Peace?. ' Information of a certain character m connection with* the case was given to Constable Milton this.morrung which, it is said, may elucidate the mysterj' as to who 'were*' the real aggressors m the outrage. ■ Blenheim papers record an oystereating fratch for a wnger. One roan ate 15 dozen right off, but had no chance against his opponent, who apparently without inconvenience ate no leBS than 27 dozeu at the silting. In the charge against Maurice Jflynn, at the -Wang nin in' Supreme Couit, the jury were unable to agree, and the prisoner was jlißuharged.' r The evidence was very sinaliar to that given m the case against Bradley for stealing money from O'Brien. No evidence for the dcv fence was called. This was the last of the criminal caees. Sala says that. the military chiefs of Russia want war, and he thinks the Gzar arid his eople will eventually agree to war. If wai is to be the upshot of Anglo-Ttussiaii squabblt 8, the celeliratijd English journalist says " the sooner the -better!" The Tongariro's mail was expected to arriv*! m Wellington this inoruiug by the Tt knpo. Th« Pitrliameutary correspondent of the Advocate says :— Tho ;n"ieml>er for Vangitikei. has received, an asHiirance froln the Minister Public 'Works that the Porewa" railway contract will be proceeded with immediately.

" Tlie polieeuiau's lot is not a -h--pp3 r one.'' Tlie latest infelicitous incident is, according to the Wellington Evening _P-r<ws. as follows :— Some days ngo several Bailors drseit&l frem ti vessel m »his harbor. -A sergeant- mpjur and several constables went on Hie war path forthwith. The fugitives took to the bush ;. so (lid the ? foorce." After considerable trouble and delay^tlie representatives of law. and order managed to secure the deserters. They also secured nbont a ton and a quarter "of bush mud, which they brought homo on their clothes. Bui the hopes of a substantial reward cheered "them throughout their difficulties, and they brought their men , hofiie iii triumph. . However, the captain was a canny man,— very canny. H« gladly welcomed batik : his delinquent seamen, and, gave the . constables— hjs thanks..,;. T-beyiook them, and havp been wonnVringieVer-.'since where they are to spend 'them';" " .
