Tho concert to-morrow evening by the Carlyle Harmonic Society, should attract a large audience, and will no doubt prove ono of the best the Society has yet given. Tho Cantata announced for the first part is a lively piece of music, while the second part is varied, and includes solos by members who have not hitherto assumed a prominent position, and also a violin solo by the gentleman who so much delighted the public at the last Hospital entertainment. Altogether, we may expect a good result to be attained, and a crowded Hall should tho evening prove fine. Several new members have joined during the last quarter, who will take part in the performance.

Monthly meeting of Masonic Lodge will be held this evening;

The sale of Messrs Arden and Dunn’s property, under distress warrant, will take place at 12 o’clock to-day, near Mr. White’s brick-kiln.

Mr W. Dale will continue the sale of Mr Beamish’s goods, at his mart, on Friday and Saturday next.

Mr Dale will hold his monthly sale at Patea Yards, to-morrow.

Major Atkinson has wired us that he will pay a visit to the Patea district on Tuesday next, Bth July'. Wo refer our readers to advertisement in another column, as to the,Major’s intentions. We have received a lengthy communication from “ Observer,” but the writer having omitted to send his own name, we cannot insert the letter.

The following non-commissioned officers were elected bv No. 1 Company Patea Rifles, on Monday evening : —J. Whelan, D. Hughes, S. Taplin, and J. Black (Sergeants j ; J. Keys, J. Kitchen, J. Smith, and J. Goodfollow (Corporals). The ColorSergeant (W. Connolly) had been previously appointed by tho Captain. At the R.M. Court yesterday, W. Hark from down South) was charged with neglecting to support an illegitimate child, and was remanded till to-day. Several debt cases were also dealth with.

At the sale of the lease of the Patea Wharves, on Saturday last, tho bidding throughout was very animated, and they wore eventually knocked down to Mr Slattery of Wanganui, for £405 for the twelve months. This does not look as if the outside public were afraid of the future of Patea.

In last issue we mentioned, with reference to Mr Beamish and family leaving Oeo, that Major Brown did not consider it safe that they should remain there any longer. It appears that it was Honi Pihama, and not Major Brown, who gave the opinion.
