HAWERA.

(FROM OUR OWN correspondent! l .)

Complaints are being made by persons who were summoned to attend the last District Court, held at Carlyle, to act as jurymen* it required, that they were not allowed any expenses, because they did not actually sit on a jury, although they were put to exactly the same trouble, expense and loss of time as those who happened to be called upon. If it is the custom, it seems a very unfair one,-but should a mistake have been committed, it should be at once rectified. A wholesome lesson was dealt to tho Maoris here last Court day, who took part in the assault on the constable*' stationed at Manutahi, in trying to effect the .release of a prisoner. The leader in the assault, 'Sfuku. at the time a Maori policeman, was fined £lO. or in default a month's ire-

prisomnent, but from the indifference with which he heard the sentence, and insolent manner in which ho handed over the required amount, I fancy other means than fines will have to be tried, ere they are taught a proper respect for the majesty of the law, as they seem to treat the matter of fines with the utmost'coritempt, A large boiling down establishment is being erected by Mr Winks at his slaughteryards. The plant has arrived, and the fixing up is being proceeded with as rapidly as possible, so it will most likely be soon in Working order, and I have no doubt but it will prove a lucrative speculation to the enterprising owner. The long continuance of dry weather has had.the effect of drying up most of the wells in the township, and ,the scarcity of Water is occasioning much inconvenience. The dust too is a great source of annoyance, everybody appearing with red and swollen eyes,* and complexions, after walking up 'the streets, as if t'heir sole occupation Were 'chimney-sweeping or coal-heaving. The first of a series of Quadrille Parties, to bo held at intervals during the coining 'winter months, took place at the Town Hall, last Tuesday evening, _ and ’was a great success. Between 20 and 30 couples took part in the various dances, which lasted until about 2 o’clock in the morning. The music provided was excellent, consisting of pianoforte and violin, winch Were presided over in a most masterly manner and gave the greatest satisfaction. Ample refreshments were 'provided by Mr ’George Tait, who catered for the occasion, •mid'the justice done to the good things 'provided, must have been a gratifying tniiute to him, of their excellence, and approval : niet with. Too much credit -cannot be given to 'those who gave their firne and labour in getting up tbe affair, and carfyingit through in suclra satisfactory ’manner.

A contemporary calculates that the re'clemptidh of the various promises made by 'the Premier (luring his recent stumping 'tour’would cost and colony seven millions •of money over the above fhe cost of the Works already’contemplated by Parliament. Strangers and country settlers Coming ’to "Carlyle, are very often at a loss to know Which is the best and cheapest General Drapery and Clothing Establishment in the district. It. -A. Adams’ Cardigan House, offers special advantages that can "be met with nowhere else in the district. He keeps the largest and best -'assorted stock of every description of ‘drapery ■goods, imported direct—and froin'tbebest ‘colonial houses; 'which, being bought on ’the most advantageous terms, and having thorough 'knowledge of the 'business, ‘enables him to offer goods of sterling ‘quality at "prices that cannot be improved on by any‘other house in New Zealand. ‘Every article is marked in plain figures, from Which there is no deviation ; so that inexperienced people are as well served : as the best judges, the terms being net 'cash, without rebate Or abatement of aiiy kind. -Note the address—R. A. Adams ; Cardigan House, nearly opposite Town Hall, Carlyle.— advt. ■Holloiouy's Ointment and \PHls.— Bad Tegs.—When from impure,"feeble circulation, foul blood, ‘or neglected chill, infla-. ’iiiation' succeeded, by tdCeration, has attached the Idwef-riimbs, the stifEerer may •turn forjja citre, without fear of disappointment, to Holloway’s celebrated Ointment, Whose fame for such disorders has ‘rebounded throughout the habitable globe, 'and 'testimonials in all languages have ■been received universally praising this ‘celebrated .’Ointment. In all . old cases, Holloway’s Pills Ishould be taken while ■his unguent is used "; both together are most effective, and the cure is accomplished 'painlessly and readily. Under theirfjoint •curative influence the worst wounds or ‘ulcers assume a 'more healthy character, ■and shortly begin to fill up or contract and ‘soundly heal.
