The Southern Cross Tent, 1.0. R., holds a ipacial meeting this evening to deal with the tenders for the removal of the Hall. The Wanganui School Committee has ' { decided not to Tote 'for *ny gf the candidates Dominated to fill the vacancy m the Education Board. We are glad to notice that the luggestion we made recently to the effect that G-overnment >hould metal the portion of the Square naar the Post office, hat been attended to, and that the work is now being carried out. I Messrs C. M. Ross & Co., of the Bon Marohe insert * new advertisement to%day. Mr R; Milson waited- on the MariawatuRoad Board this morning with the petition praying for an alteration m the method of ( ratine. The petition was received by the Board and the secretary was instructed to fot ward it to Mr Wacarthur, M.H.R. for presentation to Parliament. The playgoing : public of Palmerston will be glad to obserrethat Mr and v'rs Hart's Operetta Company are about to visit Pal-merston-ih their ent rtainment entitled '• Happy Hours and Meiry Moments." Mr and Mrs Hart have achieved a coloniar reputation,, and need no introduction. The" company consists of Mr and Mrs Hart and d aughter, Mr j^:. C.Berkley, late of . Chicj" and Miss Lottie. ■ The Feilding Brass Band through the camera, is one of the latest productions of IMr Shatter, thu well known photographer"! | The members with their respective instrum°nts have been taken as a^group m two different cabinet pictures, and also singly as cartt- s de visite. Both the style and \ finish of the work reflect great credit upon ! the artist.— bt<uv' . Prom our Parliamentary telegrams it ! will tits teeu that the Wellington College Ko.ssrves Bill was '' talked out" yesterday. Thii is Mr Macartliur's first session, but he has evidently already learnt how to make a judioious use of the forms of the . ' House; We trust he ■will be succeisf ul m de eating the aim of the College authorities to rob this district. Mr H. W. Baker, bailiff, notifies a sale under distress warrant to take .place at the Princess Hotel Stables, Terrace ..End£.tomoirow, when he will offer a dog cart' seized at the suit of : the judgment creditor m the estate of Flyger, Malcolm, & Co. This is not the historic vehicle to which allusion was recently made. ■ . . • We remind the public of the Bales which are to be held by -Mr <3-.: M. Snelson torn oruow. At 1.30 pm. his usual horse sale will be held at Messrs Brown and Boisen's TattersalTs stables, for which a number of goodupstanding animals have been entered. An hour later the scene will change- to the mart, where a well-aisorted stock of jewellery, watches, &c, will be offered. ''- Some surprise is expressed at the apathy shown by settlers m regard to' the "late m'jsterious disappearance of Mr Fitzsiminona and ' the lad McKenzie. In the old days when there were fewer settlers m the district, search parties tr»re at once organised m cases of the kind, and the natives also rendered valuable service. It is certninly rerv desirable that the fate of the parties mentioned' should be ascertained as speedily as possible. , • .We regret to note that Mr A. J. Clarke ba« resigned his office as sscre* tary to the Man iwatu Butter Company - Mr Clarke was a most painstaking and reliable secretary, and well fitted to discharge the duties of such a position. We are* glad to note, however, that the dir odors h »ye replaced him by I a gentleman who is equally well qualified; m the person of Mr Thos King, \ Strong complaints ; are-m ale regarding the wretched state of the main road from Palmerston to Ashurst. Its condition is a disgrace to th<* body having charge of it, and m the interests < of travellers it is absolutely necessary that repairs should be effected at once. ; The worst part of thd road is a piece about two miles m length', ■ah'd we*ara informed'tbat 1 -although' reprW gentations have been made nothing has re"suited, tile engineer docding towait until metal can be procured from a pit which is at present full of water. As it is only about a mile and a half to the river it is hoped that, earny effort will be made 46 teruporaiily'imprbve the road for traffic; It is generally^ believed that road boards, like other corporations, hafe neither "g'ouls to be saved of bodes t<? be kicked." but .the Salvation Army appear •, to think otherwise. While, the Mnnaw&t.u ft'oad Board was sitting to* day. a person m 'the full uniform of the " army" opened the door, and flourished a bundle of copies of the organ, at the same time enquiring if any present wished to buy a "war cry." The Board did not vouchsafe reply, the members just then being more concerned with the result of damage by water than the prospect of fire m the future, and the door closed on the, energetic news vendor. Subsequently .the Chairmar remarked that the aciiorijwa's a piece of downright impudence,, i which, opinion appeared to be shared by the wardeus. i In another column Mr George j Sawkins announces Mb intention of delivering i lecture m the Town /Hallon Sunday evening; orr / '"iGd<i sind the Devil, arid their" respective homes; Heaven and Hell." Mr Sawkins ir an Australian, and has twen highly success ful with his lecturesrin Durieriin, Welling-: ton, and Wanganui. He hat been able to draw large audiences on succe-sive nights in(;all ?these; centres.' :. arid ; even .ihoaiile journals have criticised him favorably. From an exchange we gather that- he avoids presenting his ideas m such manner as to give offence, and is a thor >ugh master of argument, We learn that m accordance with, big usual custom Mr Mr Sawkins haa forwarded complimentary tickets to the; ministe.s of various denominations m Pal« m^rston, and the time for oommencing the lecture has been "fixed .at an ..hour which f will permit them to ba L present r sh6u d they desire. Alluding to his lecture the Wanganui Herald : say's":—" Speakiitg of the Bible m his concluding remarks, he said, that tt had been by ignorant Freethinkers held up to ridicule but he held that the Bible was a link binding men of ages long passed away^w.isli those • of to-day^ betwc en the wwe-mtVplof to* 'ay; and-thewise of the past.
