Young Men's Literary and Debating Society last night discussed the question 14 Has the granting of the fraurhiso to women been justified." Mr Gould led in the affirmative aud Mr D. Graham in the negative. After an interesting debate, those present, a large number of whom were ladies, decided the proposition in the negative. The Society has decided to allot a portion of each evening to literary subjects, members reading papers in rotation, and discussions following. A passenger by the 0.55 a.m. train from Palmers ton North on Monday writes to the N.Z. Tunes concerning an incident that occurred ai Johnsonville. The train, he says, was a very long one, with an omime m front and an engine behind. The front engine went ihnntinj?, and in coupling up again some trucks or carriages with the main train, the junction was made with such

impact that considerable damage was done and passengers received a fright, if not a shaking. The fact, says our informant, thai the rear engine was standing with the Westiughoase brake on made the impact worse. In carriages about the middle of the train several windows, were broken, and several of the glass globes over the lights broke mid fell in pieces to the ifoor, But the guard's van standing next to the rear engine suffered most, the buffers being smashed, while the stanchion underneath, about Sin by Kin, was crushed and broken, fbe rear engine was left at Johnsonville.

A board is fixed ?! cross each half of the door at about breast height, pressure upon which,by an ingenious arrangement of levers, draws the bolts from their sockets. The doors cannot be opened from the outside. It is a common sight to wifuess conveyances leaving Taihape laden with labourers for the co-operative works at Ohakune. No sooner does a load of men leave than an equally large batch of men are noticed with iheir swagsaboard returning--apparently disgusted with the conditions under which they are expected to work. Interviewing a couple of strong looking navvies a few days ago, the Taihape News elicited the tame old tale that the system of working was bad. It was impossible ! under the existing rules to earn a comfortable livelihood. They particularly denounced, in the strongest of terms, the practice adapted by the overseers m choosing mates, for inferior workers ! were placed with the superior cla>s. which marred any chance they had of earning a comfortable wage. About half past one this morning the restaurant in the S-piare, known as l he Silver Grid, was discovered by Constable Fitzgibbon and the night-watch-man to be on fire. The alarm was quickly given and the Brigade was successful in conlinmg the outbreak to the restaurant. The building, however, was practically gutted. The brick wall of the Council ollices prevented any danger of the fire spreading ou the western side, but a steady stream of water had to be directed on to Mr Beadnail's shop to prevent the fire '.ravelling m the other direction, buildings in the Mock being only protected by brick uogging walls. There was a high wind blowing at the time and if the fire had got a good start there would, doubtless, be another big tire to chronicle. Ihe tire started in the rear portion of the Silver Grid, which was in the occupation of. Mr A. Me Armey. The stock was injured for £150 in the State Oiiice ant the building for i"225 in the Commerce Cuiou Oiiice. The building oolonged ;<> Constable Breen, Bulls.

According to a delegate at the Farmers' Conference held at Eltham this week calves have been so plentiful and cheap in tiie province this season that they have been sold at not so much por head, but by the dozen. Tne delegate said hu knew of a ease whero the calves were put up and soid at 18s per do/.. The annua s have been sold at even a cheaper rate than this. At one sale recorded they were knocked down at the rate of 6.s pur dozen. Truly a bounteous price. All that was saved from Mr G. .Simpson's house, destroyed by fire at Foxton on Monday morning, was the silver cradle presented to him as Mayor by Councillors. To secure this property from the burning ruins, Mrs .Simpson had to put her arm through the drawing room window and seize it while it was hot. The residence was built of the best totara and matai, and it alone was worth fully £1100. It was well furnished. An Auckland carter named Walter McQuoid, who, when his horse fell down owing to an excessive load, struck it on the head with his whip and twisted its tongue, was fined £10 and cosls. "I am satisfied you behaved in a most brutal and cowardly way to the unfortunate horse," declared the magistrate, who added that the case was one of the worst he had come across. McQuoid had, he said, gone into the box and told him what was not true, and probably proceedings lor perjury would be taken.

There was a full attendance at the ordinal-v meeting of the Rechabites held last evening. Lro. G Allman, C U presided. The District Deputy Ruler. Bro. J. M. Gilder, paid an ollicial visit and gave an address upon the benefits of the Order and also a report on the various Lodges he had visited.

i The. Kairanga County ! Council held a, special meeting yesterday when the estimates for the coming year were dealt with.in committee. The twelve-year-old son of Mr W. Welch niet with a nasty accident at College-street school yesterday morning. He was running round the playground when he collided with another boy who had a piece of sheet glass, 'l'her result was that he sustained a deep cut on the thigh and had to be taken home. Ylie question of starting deep breathexercises at the High School was brought up at the Board of Governors' meeting last evening by a report from the Rector. It was decided to leaye the matter in the hands of Mr Yernon to arrange with Mr Jarrett, if possible, to conduct the classes. Mr Yernon reported to the High School Board ot Governors last night that there were now 113 pupils attending the technical classes. He also reported specially on the proposed plumbing class. The name of an instructor from an outside district was selected, and will be forwarded to the Education Department for approval.
