A man named John Kobert Long was arrested on Christriia's Day upon a charge of threatening .the. life of Mrs. Levin. He was bvougtyt.up yestead >y before Mr Ward and Mesrs. Snclson, McNeil, andDalrymplp^'ahci cdmniittecl for trial, bail bemg.aUqwed, himself m £20q and two sureties of £15.0. ea**h. A. report of th,e. proceedings is unavoidably crushed out. The entertain men t given m aid of the funds of the Pahnerstou Cricket 01 ub on Tliuraday erening proved an unqualified success, Wing attended by a large and appreciative audience* The entertainment was wisely diversified, the first portion consisting of a concert ; and the latter, of the amusing, farce of "The -Area Belle."- Perhaps, however, two of the most attractive features m the programme ware a pianoforte . dtvjt, .which was vociferously and deservedly encored, • ■ami a .solo on the clarionet.

stop, and the very- '-excellent quarters into which the little waif had fallen. On Thursday night, us Mr limps, the postmaster, was leaving his office, he found a fine little fellow, aboufc four rears of age, wandering about. As th& child was evidently a strangor, tho postmaster followed tile worthj example sot hint by his brother official and tdok the little wanderer iufco his keeping, whore he remained until this morning, when ho was dispatched to his parents m Feilding, tho railway guard having brought down wordyftat he helonged to a Mrs Corkery, m tbcafc'township. During his sojourn with his jjro'teetbr, the little fellow took the matter very- philosophically, and although' he chatted and talked pr-etty freely; all he could tell aboat himself was that he had had a ride m tho. train. Unfortunately tho wires between Paimerston and Feilding and Palmerston and Foxton wer>e interrupted yesterday, and consequently direct communication with either place was impossible, but Mr Innes lost no effort ia making- the matter known t in order that the missing child might be restored to its parents.
