In consequence of extreme pressure on ou* space, we are compelled to holdover, ou-J-Leader, the Cricket Match with Marton. ai|cl sereral items of intelligence. We learn that the Her. Mr Bruce, of Auckland, will preach m the Presbyterian Church, Palmerston, on next Sunday. We tire plensed to notice that another new mill is to be erected m Feilding. The venture is to be called the " Makiuo Steam Saw, and Planing Mill," and is started by Messrs. Malcolm, Russell & Co. livery thing is almost m readiness for work, there being three circular nnd one vertical saws, ] driven by. twenty-six horse power steam engines. The mill is erected clcuo to the Railway line on the Makinb road. Messrs. Halcombe and Mucarbhur addressed a number of the Stoney Creek electors, m the school-house, on Monday evening. Both gentleman reviewed their past action m the Council at some length, after which they referred to the various matters which would have to be dealt with m the future. At (he conclusion of the mooting ft vote of confidence m both the candidates was carried unanimously. It will be seen t-lmt the elf ct ion for the "Mayoral, chair of Palmerston will l:ik« place on the 27. h, but from" what we can learn Mr Snelson will enjoy a walk-over, as there is no likelihood of an opposing candidate coining forward. At the last meeting of the Council lie was naked if ho would consent to stand, nnd his reply was m the affirmative, as he wished to see the debenture scheme, and other matters which had been, initiated during his term of (office, brought to a suet es u 1 issue. The Cricket Match between Palmerston and Marton, played on Monday, on thelgrouhd of the latter, resulted m a* defeat for the visitors. The .contest, however, was* most severe 0110, and were it not for the manner m which the PalnerstortiJihs were hurried for time,- there would {have been a different tale to tell. ' By an 'injudicious arrangement between the two captains it was agreed that the stumps should be drawn at lialf-past fin 1 , although the txwa did dot

leave until an hour later. Twenty minutes before the time of drawing tho stumps, Palmerston had seven wickets to fall, with lT^ re runs fco w ' n> an< * m '^ c naste t° finish the game and avoid a draw, the wickets fell " thick a3 leaves that strow the brooks m Vallumbrosa," and the game was lost by eleven runs.

His "Worship and Councillor Coleman were enguged yesterday m canrasaing the town for subscriptions toward the Annual Sports, and we are ploused to Bay met with most liberal responses, between £50 and £60 having been freely subscribed. There are a number of others to be visited yet, i and the canvassers liavo litle doubt that £100 will be readily raised. A preliminary programme appears elsewhere. The necessity for the erection of cattle pens at the Terrace End was evidenced by an accident which happened to a prize bull a few days since. The animal, together with a draught horse, were on their road to Napier, having come from Wanganui by train. By means of boards they were safely landed on the platform [at Terrace End, and left to reach the ground as best they could. Of course the horse jumped the height with ease, but the bull m striving to do so, fell upon its knees, and owing to its immense weight was got upon its feet again with difficulty, beside running a great risk of smashing its leg. Messrs. Monrad aud Linton, the two candidates for the representation of Taonui Riding, addressed the electors m the Town Hall, Palraerston, last night ; Mr J. T. Dalrymple m the chair. Mr Monrad was the first to give bis opinion, referring to the necessity of further roads and the Rating Act. Mr Linton said that he was not at all m favor of the County system, which m his opinion was both cumbersome and expensive ; nevertheless, as it was the law of the land, if elected, he would do his best to have it administered equitably and with integrity. After both candidates had answered a number of questions satisfactorily, and a vote of thanks was unanimously carried for their attendance, the old representatives — Messrs. Snelson and McNeil — then gave a short account of their stewardship,, the latter endorsing the views expressed by Mr Linton, as to the expensive working of the County system. Votes of thanks were carried to them, and another to the Chairman terminated the proceedings. Hoiloway/s Ointment and Pills.— Notable Facts. — Intense heat augments the annoyances sf skin disease and encourages the development of fobrilo disorders? therefore they should as they can, be removed by these detergent and purifying preparations. In stomach conplaints, liver affections pains and spasms of the bowels, Holloway's unguent well rubbed over the affected part immediately gives the greatest ease., prevents congestion and inflammation, checks the threanening diarrhcea and averts incipient cholera. The poorer inhabitants of large cities will find these remedies to be their best friend when any pestilence rages, or when from unknown causes eruption, boils, abscesses, or ulcerution point out the presence or taints or imparities within tho system, and cull for instant and effective, curative medicines.
