A quantity of interesting reading matter -will be found on the fourth page, Mr W. J. Cameron, of Paraekaretu, has one hundred per cent, of lambs this season. This speads well for that formerly muchdecried district. — Advocate. Noiice is given- of the application of of Christian Siege! , of Makino, to be adjudged a bankrupt. Mr W. S. Staite is solicitor for the debtor. In the House yesterday, Sir George Gray gave notice to move, That Wahanui be heard at the bar of the House m reference to native matters. We are requested to remind intending competitors at the Sports to bs held on Prince of Wales' Birthday that the time for receiving nominations expires on Monn day next 3rd November. ; ■ • .i i We are informed that the Scandinavian Club now numbers 102 members.'sS'We have been shown a copy of the by«-laws of the Club, which appear to hare been framed with skill. We learn that the members of St Peters' lOJub have secured the Hall connected with Mr premises, and that the future meetings of the Club will ba held, there. We learn that Mr Boon inten Is establishing himself m business m Palmers ton, and with that end m view has secured the premises lately occupied by Mr H, W. Haybittle, near the Ready Money Stow. "We wish him every succesi m his hew venture. " Captain " Perry writes" to the Wahgariui Chronicle to the effect that the man Thomas referred to m a telegram from New Plymouth yesterday, ••' has never been a:Salva» tionist or connected with the Army m any capacity." The schooner Louie from Wanganui to Eockbampton, has arrived at her destination after a passage of 21 dajs. She has a cargo of produce shipped by a Wanganui firm. !.■:'.•: : Says the Advocate :— The very inclement weather for the past week or two has made great havoc among the lambs m tha Bulls and Sandon district. We hear of one farmer hating lost sixty m .three days, and nearly all the farmers are loser* more or lesß. A special general , meeting of members of the Manawatu Racing Club is convenedfor Tuesday November 4th. Judging from Mr'Walton's communication the sth would have been more appropriate date as the business will be of a somewhat explosive nature. We direct the attention of i tending visitors *o Wellington to the advertisement now appearing relating to Messrs Orr and Son's City Buffet Hotel and Restaurant on on Lambton Quay.. This establishment is one at which visitors may thoroughly enjoy themselves and rest assured that they will be well served at moderate cost. There is now, unfortunately, ho doubt as to the tate of Mr Fitzsimmons, his body having been found last nijrht m tha river near the Eailway Bridge. Mr G. M. Snelson, District Coroner, proceeded this afternoon to 'Mr "Fitzsimmona' late residence,! where the inquest is being held. The body of the lad McKenzie has not yet bfc en recovered. Dr Newman has given notice to ask the Minister for Public Works if the Government would proceed at; once with the construction cf the North Island Trunk .railway, begining at the Masterton end. The doctor appears to have a novel idea of a trunk railway, but perhaps he has never travelled up the steep inclines of the Rimutaka or through the narrow tunnels of that famous tection of his "lruuk"line. Perhaps he has confounded " Masterton" with '• Marten." The Palmerston School Committee met on Saturday evening, and voted for JVlr ITry for the vacancy on. the Education Board- J We are at a loss to understand by what peculiar process of reasoning the Committe ar'i'ved at ihe conclusion that Mr Fry can m any way represent this district against two men either of whom is much abler, and has also tested interests at this end of the educational district. Wo are sure the public of Palmerston generally will J decidedly disapprove of the action taken j toy the ComatiitetL I

Mr T, R. Walton publishes a letter m our correspondence column to-day. Ho evidently feels considerably aggrieved,audnndcr tbeee circumstances we have pubhshud lished hid letter exactly as written. . We defer comment until both sides have been hard, • ■ A contemporary has adopted a new plan of getting news, which has the - merit of beiageaay and expeditious, if not exact. It is simply to sit iv the office and imagine all kinds of rumors as being current. Another advantage of this is that it give:? the scissors a much-needed ".spell" and economises the paste. OurMarfcon contemporary understands that Mr S. Cawood has written to the Engineer m Chief, offering an acre of laud for a rail way. station on his property, --Marion, provided that the junction of the Central railway is made at Marton. The land is on the banks of the Tutaenui, and would be traversed byHigh-streat if the. latter were produced. " It appears that many breeders m the northern portion of this district . would wil ingly secure the services of Messrs Baker and Co,'s Somnus, it' he were m Palmerston instead of Foxton, and we are informed by Messrs Baker and Co. that should sufficient inducement offer the horse wili be sent to Jhilnierstori. It is suggested that breeders referred to should communicate their wishes to Mr Baker direct. The Wnnganui Herald states that during the sittingof the Natiye Land Court at Wanganui tor'ty or fifty deaths have occurred among the natives assembled there, Our contemporary Bays this . large nuynber of! deaths must be put down as the result of their improvident, and thoughtless manner of living, the laws of health being almost entirely neglected by them during their stay m the tents, aud even . m the wooden houses about town. . In referring m a recent issue to the wretched state of the road from Palmeraton to Ashurst, we were scarcely explicit enough. We may mention that from Falmerston to the fatoney Cre k School/the road has, throughout the whole wint ir, been m a fair condition, m spite of iha heavy taffic, Mr Or. Hanstn evidently paying thorough attention to, his duty of keeping it m order. This portion of the road' is under the charge of the Manawatu Road Board. The part which is thelmost unsatisfactory to tray vellers 'is under the management of the Manchester Board,, and it is to be regretted that body does not take; prompt action ■; m the, matter. The Supreme Court of Naw South Wales the other day awarded £4000 damages against, the Railway iDepartmont for not • having a lamp, alight In consequence of some neglect at the South Creek station on the suburban line, the lamp placed at the embankment there was not lighted one evening, and when the train arrived the plaintiff, who was a passenger, left the platform, missed the track, : fell town an embankment, and broke both his kneecaps, rendering him a cripple for life. For this neglect the Government :or ■ rather- the country, will have to pay £40GD, besides t\l law costs. y ■'■'-. ; ' r:' : A good general servant is advertised for by Mrs 8.
