The heavy rain of two days and nights past is almost sure to bring down a heavy fresh m all the rivers, with possibly a repetition of tht disastrona flood of three years ago. 1886 is surely going to be a terror wita visitations of one kind tad mother. Cecil Raymond Seymour, contractor, of Otaki, has filed a petition to be adjudged a bankrupt. The N.Z.S. Co's R. M.S. Tonj?ariro will not arrive iv Wellington till Monday next. Abont 30,000 acres of land m the Wairarspa district will be offered by the Lwd, Board, at | their sale at the end of uext month. . - . I Colonel Gorton, of 'Balii, hai bceo appointed an ag«ut of the Public Trustee. The barton psper says that Thursday nisfht's gal 6 Was 'the fiercest within the memory of the oldest inhabitant of that district. '^ The two little soni of widow Harrelion, of Georgetown country, S. 6,, were wrestling m the woods, when a tree that was being; cot downfall and killed tbfein both. This hapDened while their mother Was at the bedside., of her dyiu^. father. . . Pilot -boat Edward Cooper picked up at sea off Barnegat, on April Bth, a framed oil paiulinxofa man about forty year* of age. It was m good condition, marked .'* J. W. Tenneifellow. Philadelphia," and is believed to hare drifted from the Oregon. . • A' terrible accident, resulting m about 150 persons being killed and wounded, occurred at a theatre iv ShiiiKemori-cho, Jaoan, recently, whei the structure gave way under the heavy snow lying on its ioof. and the dislocated beflnlH came down upon the heads of the spectators. •■ An Atlantic cow fell into a deep well receutly and her owner was unable to hoist her out, so he bought many loads ef shavings from a neighbouring planing mill and damped them into the well. As fast as they fell the cow trampled them uuder her feet, and thus came te the surf ace and walked away. , . A Scotch dominie, after relating to his scholars the story of Ananias and Sapphi.ra asked them " why God did not strike everybody dead , who told a lie ? n Alter a lone: silence, one little ' fellow got to his feet and exclaimed : "Because sir, there wadoa be anybody left." — Exchange. : „' ••/ Tb« question of laying poison for smalt birdß on publio roads was discussed at Hawera at a recent meeting of road board chairmen, a majority of whom favored tbe proposal. It is evident that if any. acoide'ut occurred through the adoption of this propoaal, the local bodj might become liable for heavy damagei. The matter will be further considered on Saturday. The question is now be|©re Parliament m the form of a Bill. *d The Mokau Coal Oompauy have char-tered-a steamer for their own exclusive use, to trad* between Onehunga and yWellinston and intermediate ports. Thu will enable the company to keep a continuous supply of coat, and will afford the public an opportunity of visiting the Mokau district, at present so little known. The Directors of the Wellington Woollen Company, at their last meeting, "passed the following resolution :— v That anitbe, meriibers yt \he pcesent directorate r go ( out"of office at' the annual meeting, the Board desires to place on record their v appreciation of the valuable services rendered by the Chairman ('Mr T. Macdonald) during ..the' two years that be has occupied that position, and how much the success of the Company up to the present time is due to his skilful financial arrangements and'unre: niittincr attention to the business of the Company, and express their gratification that he has consented to allow his name to be submitted for re-election." • :; " Sympathetic" rouge, a clear, colourless liquid, which becomes gradually pink on exposure to the fresh air, is the latest dodge to tempt the foolish. How deep the fraud, how pathetic the deception practised on the Edwin of the hour. He calls to accompany Angelina for a walk to Rotton ; Row. Poor Angelina is pale, but a walk will exhilarate her and restore her "roses." It does ; the dear, colourless liquid works like lnacric, and the pale cheeks glow and become : rosy m the most natural and life-like way.
