Yung, who has been a resident m Palmerston for a short period, died on Sunday last, after a brief dineas. During his- sickness his wants wera att> n ledto by his ,fellow«couutrymen, who exhibit genuine sorrow at the death of their compatriot in.a Btrauge land. As a mark of respect to the memory of deceased, Lee Foug, who is the owner of a store m iaonui Street, to-day had his flag at halfmast. ' , -. . r There is trouble m store for some one m Palmerston, In connection witli each vi the Sports advertised to take place there is an event termed a Baby Show, iv which infants of all descriptions .complete for a I rize, which is awarded by a committee of men who are thoroughly reckless a-> to consequences. There is »n amusing sfcory current as to the experience of one of the ju igea at the last Baby thow hela m I'almerston, which eerves to illustrate tlie dangers of the position, fc'oue time after the Show, a fond mother made her appearance m the shop occupied by the said judge, and and was companied by a remarkably fine specimen : of infant lite. The juige prides himself on his gallantry and tUe readiaoss wiih which he pan touteh the sympathetic chord m a mother's heart, by dw Ling oh the merits of her offspring. He accordingly started by remarking '• W hat a beautiful baby 1 Why- did you not bring it to the baby show ? It wouid certainly have taken first prize," He got this far when a lurid gleam m the ejea of the paient warned him to bewaie, and he saw the fatal mistake he had made, when ane indignantly exclaimed, "bo I did take, him there, and you wouldn't even look ar. him." tier "' tongue, was loosened, and. the remainder of the 6oe'ne may be better imagined than described. .•; -„ ■ .* ' Appendix Nd; 2 to Ihe r> port 'of the Northern Trunk Kailway Committee is a report by Mr Epchefo'rt (.who cxploied the CentraVline f to the Engineer-in-Chief, d&tid Spt. 11, and informing him that he had completed the actual survey of the Ceniral route, along which levels nad been taken throughout, and a complete set of plans and crops-sections prepared. ' His mature es limate of the cost per mile £6093 ; m the former repoi the put it at between .£7OOO and £6ioo. The present estimate incudes a road alongside the whole way, but not the cos6*f fencing. > Mr ./tipobfort considera that *' the surveys show the line to be highly favorable both as to.. ( the primary cost of construction and the' country it will' open out," His first rough section made the distance; 244 miieb, which he would tJiough't would be .consideriiblyi-reduced on closer examination, and this turns ouc to .be the case, as his present measurement makes 212 miles 27 chains/But eveu this he thinks, may ;be further brought ;down doubt to about 200 miles.. Four parties were at work on the survey ibis time and there seems to be a general opinion that m each section good agricultural and pastoral country will be opened ; up and that the soil found is £re« qusntly very good. * . : | We aje Klad to learn that the mems bers of the Oddfellows' and Druids' ! Lodges m Palm rston do not intend to allow Mr W. T. Wood te leave the dißtricti without recognising the services he has rendered. Mr Wood has held the highest positionsin both Oroers, and has been indefatigable m his labors m connection witu their interests^ and it is but fitting that services of ibis kind should be morked, not only for the satis" faction ot the Jstoiher coucer.ned, buc as an encouragement for others to go and do likewise. Wt : understand separate and .presentations will be made by each, of the Lodges this evening. Mr. Wood leayes Palmerston for his new bome..to»morrow.
