•trill be exhibited at the Public Hall, Miss Bond is twenty-two years old,* and ha3 a fully developed woman's head, but only the body of an infant, and as such she is treated, being nursed and fad like a baby, The Awahtjri SunVEr. —We ■would invite the especial attention of our readers to the latest phase of the Maori question,as exemplified, we might almost si>y, in nur own midst. The spirit of obstruction which appears .to rule Te Wiiiti and. hiss disciples at Parihaka, has also found a resting-piace at Awaiiuri, where thelaw'w-not only openly broken, bub threats of defiaufc contempt have been hurled at the local Court of Justice. We would refer to our leading columns for particulars. BAipK peom the G-rAye.— lt maybe remembered that when the Sang itikei Advocate put. in a claim for a' share of the Manawatu; Highway* '.Board's advertising— now some months* since— it had a special reporter at that monthly meeting, i'rom that day until Thursday, a second appearance had not been put in, but expecting a little discussion orer advertising in papers which did not report the proceedings of the Board, a reporter turned up for the second time.. We .presume now that the diifleulty has been tided^over, the reporter wiU be-hung. up for another six months, until the'scribe is] again dug out of oblivion, br brought " back from the grave." The Learned Pig. — As will be seen a porcine member of the theatrical profession take3 possession of the stage r at the Forester*' Hali,'aiid is jpreparod, to. impart wisdom to the ttlillidii the evening.. "Porky" is Under the care of Mr. and -Mre. Alexander, who in addition to the quadruped's eccentricities will go -through, some scones which liave occurred during their captivity amongst the Sioux Indians. We have not se»n th» entertainment our.ielve3, but our Wairarapa exchanges speak in the highest term? of it, one journal going to the length of dovoting a leading article to note the advent of "Porky." Another Treat.— The publio will be pleased to learn that "arrangement* are being made for another concert) 'whun in addition to the local talent, we understand several ladies and gentlemen irpm a distance have generously' consented to take part. The object is to raise funds for AjlSSaiuts' Parsonuge, and" as we believe the 1 management of the entertainment will be committed Pirani and Seaton,,the well known energy of ".those gentlemen' is the best guarantee for the quality of the entertainment : which, could be given. Tb^abncert will take place on Tuesday r week.^tlie 7th of July, a full programme of which will appear iu a future issue. G-oop poa the -UndeUstakdiitg-. — When a man can boast that " there is corn inEygpt," it "is generally: supposed to be .a matter for congrdt -.illation- ; but as a proof that it is ju*t possible ta.hava too much of a good thing, it can scarcely he- denied that while " corn" is very acceptable, a duplication of the commodity into '* corns " would be the very 1 reverse. To those who are suffering from those pedal persecutors, we -intimate that Mr. O. Basstiau has arrived in town— a gentleman who has made the science of chiropody his e»pecittl Bhidy, and' succeeded in^ giving ease to the understanding. We have seen a testimonial to Ins ability which was presented to him in Feilding, and bears the signature of every person of note in that township. Judging from the excruciating torments we ouraelelvea ■ 'have suffered from the tiny" eueiny, and tht number of names to. the testim»uial, coupled with the'laudfitopy way in jwhieh 'the attestors l^o^kJiJLtJißtf^^er^tvTO^Jiotild imngine Feildingitea a uiosteou ten ted people.
