The Chinese residents of this district yesterday afternoon assembled at the grave of their comrade who died last week and fired off a number of crackers. &c. A quantity of food was alsj taken to the grave for use by the spirit oi' the departed Celestial' -: , . The liabilities m the estate of J. R. Harper, Bulls, amount to £5234, £398 being-secured and £4838 unsecured. : The assets are set down at £4184, leaving a deficiency of L 1049, T/hree or four VVanganui creditors appear m the list, but all for sma<l amounts. The telegram givng the result of the Cauifield Cup was received ty us at 7.41 on Saturday evening, and promptly circulated around, the town. The favorites seem to have bfcen. nowhere, the winner not having been mentioned m the betting recently, From a private source we learn that the G-irola Yacht Party did first-class business iu.Masterton. They play at Woodville this evening, and will arrive m Palmerston by ■pecial coach to-morrow. On the day-! 'ills, it is stated that the party will appear ia the Public Hall, This is an eiror, . and 'from the advertisement it will be seen that the entsriainment will be given m the Foresters' Sail.., .-.-._.. . , We are gtad to learn that the settlers generally intend giving hearty support to the Agricultu al and PaStO/al Society. 1 Mr T. H Caver-hill informs us that he hus, so far, received favourable replies' fiom avery tettier with whom he has been m communication. A patient named Mrs H, Robinson, from Foxton, died m the Hospital at Wanganui on Friday- The deceased was admitted on September 17th, suffering from a* cancer of the liver, and it was to this disease she succumbed/ The body was taken to Foxton by train on Saturday morning, Theke^ch Opotiki, with a cargo of maize* struck on a rouk m Mercury Bay on Saturday, and b- came a total wrack. The Scow Una alse struck on a rot k outside Auckland harbor and is expected to Income a wreck. The Ocean Quean/schooner, went ashore at Worser's Bay on Saturday, her anchors having parted. One strong argument m favor of the establishment of an agricultural and Pastoral Association m Manawatu has been advanced by Mr Snelson, who was unavoidably absent from the initiatory meeting. He has drawn attention to the fact that very shortly Palmerston will be within ea«y distance of Wellington by rail, and this oißtrict will really be the principal backcountry for the Empire City. As a conseqaencu, shows held m this locality will be well supported from that direction. Complaints are made as to the blocking of the footpath -m front of the Foresters' Hall by the Salvation Army on Saturday evenings. There cau be no possible objee« tion to the Army so long as it confines its operations to the interior of the building, but the impression seems general among tradesmen and peace-loving citizens that its. outside performance ara an intolerable; nuisance. We are informed that the sub-" ject generally will probably engage the attention of the Borough Council next meeting. An advertisement m a Cootamundra paper offers a reward of £500 for any passage of Scripture which affirms that man has an immortal soul. The challenge has been accepted by the Key. R. Inglis, M. A., Presbyterian Minister, provided the Bishop of iSydney will act as umpire. ! The Parliamentary correspondent of the Napi r Telegraph writes ; — I have just tie'<rd a singular report to the effect that the g' eat native land owner Wahanui has discovared some objections to the North Island trunk railway, and wishes to be beard on the subject by council before the Bar of the House. A few d*ys ago I was informed on the best authority, that he had given his assent, and m fact was eager for the line to be formed. Says the Chronicle : — Mr Jackson's town properties were put up to auction on Saturday last.. Lot one, including several sections with dwellinghcuse, was t mght m at £1700, Lot two, containing 2 acres 1 rood 20 perches, fronting Harrison Keith, and Glasgow Streets were knocked down to Mr J. Paul for £376. As showin how property has depreciated m value of late years, it may be stated that the first" mentioned lota was valued a few years ago at £4500, and the second actually cost £500 twelve years ago. During the Deniliquin, N.S.W. show week a somewhat sensational sale of 10 tooth merino rams was made by Messrs Austin and Millear, of Wanganella. The purchaser was Mr S. M'Caughey, of Coonong, and the price 4,000 guineas for the lot. We learn from Mr ' M'Caughey that these rams cut fleeces giving an average weight of 121 b. 2oz. of greasy wool. The Government of South Australia, m order to encourage the planting of trees give a bonus of £2 per acre for land-placed under a crop of trees. Olive planting is encouraged as a tree easily raised, and as it is hardy and not easily destroyed by fire, the land on each side of some the railways is planted with it. • Referring to the coolness and courage displayed by the railway officials m charge of the Onehungo. tr m m preparing for the collision which took place on Wednesday last, the Auckland Herald says ; — This rare combination of bravery, skill, and calculation r fleets the highest possiDle credit onfr the officials, and we have no hesitation m saying that if. tKose of their number who beiiave so nobly on this very critical occasion represent tne character of the railway employes generally, the colony posseses m qliem a body of men of whom any country might well be- proud. ■ ; . ■ A notice is inserted by the Official Assignee, m this issue. I. Mr G. M. Snelson .advertises a sale of Clothing and effects to take place at the Mart on Saturday. It is notified thafc Mr T. R. Walton has been authorised to collect all outstanding accounts due to the late firm of Hankins and Baker.

It is to tome Ladies a great concern to undertake tha t<?sk of providing such a complete change of costume as the change of seasotii demand ; all such will do wall to consult Mrs Francis, at The Boh Marche, where taste, experience, and ability ; to; arrange, is manifestly capable of removing, all anxiety- and providing for every patron just what suits them exquisitely. Charges moderate, style, fit. and workmanship unequalled. Orderß should be placed early
