Many of our readers will regret to learn that Pastor Gaustad has definitely decided to leave Palmerston North and take up his habitation near Halcoinbe,. where he owns a small property, on •which a residence is now bein? erected. Pastor Gaustad will be much missed m the district, where he will leave many friends and well-wishers. He has done much s;ood m a quiet unostentatious way, and has been the means of saving , several lives of children: and. adults, .•.■■.through his successful practice of homoeopathy. As a man of whose sincerity we are convinced, and whose friendship we value, we learn with regret of his departure, and hope to hear of his well-being m his new location. We hope that occasionally Pastor Gaustad will find time to visit this district. We are reliably ijformed that the major portion of the shares m the Opera House which were estimated would be required to be taken up fn Pahnerston have been already pnbscribed, and that ttyereis every hkelhood of the scheme being shortly successfully floated. A engine haa been taken f rom * F eliding to Ashurst. We hear that some of the bridges oh the route ■ustnined some damage by the heavy engine passing over them. The engine is now working on the Pohangina road. The first meeting of the newly-elected Licensing Committee was held m the Courthouse to-day, the Commissioners present being Messrs West (chairman), Palmeison, Hal I, "and Stewart. The applications of Messrs Carroll, Walkley, ' Penton, and Clifford, for renewals of r license*, were granted ; find that of Mr J. R. Isherwood, for the Club Hotel. ' The Borough Council has a really valuable acquisition m the horse purchased from Mr S\y for £35. It has to be roped to enable it to be shod behind, and owiue: to having string-halt it cannot back a dray, and when asked to do go Btumbles, falls down, and lies there nibbling the grass till assisted up again. -It is staunch enough pulling ahead, but a traction engine would almost be required when a load has to be backed, as not only has the loaded dray to be backed, but the animal m the shafts has also to be hauled astern, as» it cannot go back by itself. But it can destroy fences till all is blue, and doe* not show much string halt when battering a panel of fencing down with its heels. Query How much would Mr Sly give to have the valuable quadruped back again m his possession?
