With to-morrow's issue of the Evening Mail will be published the annual report of the luspector of Schools. The case agaiust Isaac Harvey to-day for perjury resulted in his committal for trial at the next sitting of the District Court, to be held on the 16th instant. William Harvey and C. K. Turner will appear before the - Magistrates on Tuesday next, when the same evidence as that adduced to-day will be brought forward against them. For the Upper Motueka Road Board, in addition to the members already, reported as having been returned, Mr J. Griffiths was reelected for the sub-district of Stauley Brook.' The Church Messenger for the current mouth is just published, and contains several items of local Church news, an article on the Bishop's visitation which is now being carried out, au account of a visit to the North Island by "J.L.," and several interesting extracts from English papers. The tea meetiug aud concert in connection with the Wesleyan Church held at Motueka on Aloiiday evening proved an unqualified success, both as regards the numbers present and the performances by the Nelson choir under the leadership of Mr Garrard, and others who rendered valuable assistance. . The Rev. S. R. Purcheou and Messrs Hadfield and J. Wilson did their share by giving some excelleut readings aud recitations, aud on the whole a really enjoyable evening was speut, the Nelsou visitors returning to town by the steamer Lady Barkly. The City Cadets coucert and soiree last night passed off most successfully. Judging from the numerous encores the first part of the evening's amusement ; was fully api ' • -

predated by the numerous audience, and ifc is needless fco say that the dancing which followed was also thoroughly enjoyed. Thafc it was kepfc up with great spirit; until a very late hour is sufficient proof of this. s Tasnew :Courfc House afc- Wairoa being* \comple6ed, ifc fay 906^. that; k~ future aCourt will be held there oh the flrsfc Monday in each month.

Eor a long time he haa been a I victim to that fatal disease consumption, and for months past hia life was despaired of. Aware of this he expressed the wish thafc he might be buried in Nelson by the side of a child he lost some few years ago, and we undfcj-stsffd that his body will probably be brought oyer in the, Awaroa, which leaves , Witngabui for Nelson to-day. As the : foqeffsefiy.was for a long time an active member, .of the Fire Brigade, and hia name has ynever been removed from the roll his remains will be followed to the grave by the members, of that body.;,* .
