As if to make amends for tho lack of ; criminal business on the regular Co^rt day, the Justices of the Peace hive held, two t ; sittings since. Sunday. Op.

Mr Deardfl has determined to inaugurate tjhe opening of his new hall,' Terrace . iilncl, by a public ball, to place m the biiilding on Boxing Night. Tn.oae to whom that '. gentleman is known need only be told that he is to provide the' refreshments himself \o fe4 "uss'u red 'that ' they will 'be of the best description.'

' Occasionally election contests, create bad feeling, and very often, bitter things are s^aid ; bufc with the declaration of tlie Eeturning |Ojflcer a\\ bad blood should cease.

poor fellow, who is a stranger m the di - | fcricfc, called at MrSheehan's on tho $angi- , tikei Line, and wanted to take) possession j of his house, informing the owner that if j he did not clear qqt ppetty smaytjy he "would have the police upon him. fhe unfortunate man who had been wandering | about the bush for some days half starved, > gave the Constable half-a-dozen dffforerit grandiloquent names. We have been asked by Mr Keeling to ' explain that the advertisement to which we made reference m pur last issue — with regard to a surgepn for. Convt Manawatu — ] was insei-ted m the Post through a mistake of the publisher. An order was given some time since for its insertion, but the time hat long since expired. In justice to Dr. Maclachlan we have great' pleasure, m publishing : this explanation. It will be s.een elsewhere that Messrs. Tyree and Huff, photographeuts from Dune- I din, h^ve cpmmenced business m Palmers- J ton, where they will make a short stay. From the variqus specimens of the photographic art which have been submitted to us for inspection, we are justified m stating that they are finished artists, the large like.r nesses taken' on porcelain, beside being imperishable, being masterpieces, of pecfeqtion. We understand that m a few days arrangements will be completed for giving gratuitously a magic lantern exhibition, into which not only the.' principal scenery of the district, but some of the loca} celebrities will be introduced. As their" studio i3 a regular museum of photographic curiosities, we would ndvis'e those fon.d qf novelties to pay it a' visit. Mr Geor,gq West has good reason to be thankful to the hqne.sty of some of the J?almersfcon re.sid.enta. On Thursday night he paid a visjt to' the. Bazaar, and hired Mr G-qqdissqn's cab to return Home. Next morm'ng lie" missed his purse which cqntaine.d between £20 and £30, and made a considerable' search for its recovery m va^n! Mr, Goodisson hearing of the, loss, and that Mr West had' ridden m his cab, made inquiries from his boy, and had the the 'pleasure of returning i-l^e Rurae, and contqnts intacj;' \q' the qwner. appeared on finishing his nights work the boj took the horses' out of the' trap, and left it standing m the y^d 'all night. Yester.dav. morning upon arranging tbcj vehicle lip. dropped upon the p'tyrse a few moments before it I wsß. inquired f^r.. The Wesleyan Bazaar was continued on i Wedhesd'ay and Thursday", and on the whole may bp considered a success. Qn the i evening of the last named day, Mr Snelson Tgry kindly cpii verted a chair into a rostrum, and exerted his well-known powers of per- ! suasion m order to increase the vei-y respectable sum which had already ieiulted from the bWar. ' In the laudable effort i put forth by "the Weslejans of P^lme^ston '' to liquidate the liability upon their church I they have been liberally supported "by I lnembera of V^ Ghuroh of Jsng. land, and others whom it might ' be supposed' wouldj have no sympatViv with tlie movement. T'liis aijgurs wel^ fpr forthcoming Gtift' Auction m connection with the Church of England, and it is very pleasing to see 'denominational differences brklged; the h^tcb.et— •which is ioo^ often wielded by one Church against another— buripd.'und all pqlling toge'thcr as though for a common "gobdj. This bazaar has improved the monetary condition of the* We'alcya.n Onurch" by about '£3o, and' those who have worked' for this may be congratulate^ upon tn'fl imasui'Q o^i: success which has attended, ibeir* efforts..
