A sturdy Romney ram somewhat relieved tho monotony of Palmerston ram fair yesterday by taking a header at Mr Ward, tho well-known knight of tho hammer, and knocking uim off tho antiouecr’s porch. _ Even this acrobatic feat failed to liven tip the bidding, and the ram was passed in.

P. Baker, H. Mohrtons, J. Arust, B. Campion and D. Wyatt. The Wairarapa Daily Times understands that the deer-stalking season will not he opened until the 28th of March this year, instead of March Ist, as hitherto, and in all probability tho license fee will ha raised. Both these steps will have been necessitated through, poaching operations which have, of late, boon on an extensive scale. In tho Supreme Court case of Harry Hamm v. John Stevens, M.H.E , the jury returned a verdict for plaintiff for £l5O as compensation for determination of plaintiff’s flaxmilling contract with defendant, and for £3 13s 9d as settlement of accounts.

The Wairarapa Daily times publishes interviews with the Masterton representatives of Levin and Go. and Dalgety and Co. relative to tho price of oats and chaff. Levin and Go. are offering £3 10s for chaff and 2s 6d for good feed oats and getting a poor response. Dalgety and Go. offer the same price for chaff and find that £3 15s is asked. The representative of Dalgety and Go. stated that 2s 9d was asked for Algerian oats locally which could be lauded in Wellington at 2s 83<hl. Both firms, as is not unnatural in buyers, consider that farmers are trusting too much to the reputed shortage in the south and that they forgot the possibility of importation. Some weeks ago a swarm of bees settled in the orderly room of the Eltham Rifle Volunteers, and ever since a battle-:-; yil has been in progress between the r-.nv arrivals and the members of the corps. When meetings arc held at night the bees, attracted by the light, sally forth and attack everyone in tho room, and despite many effort? to evict them with fumigations of sulphur, the bees are still in possession. The members of the corps bear many soars —or rather stings—as a result of the prolonged conflict. Tiie efficacy of a water hose will soon ho tried. Thou there will ho a scramble for the honey.—Eltham Argus.

‘The Marton school excursion to Wanganui sea beach yesterday re--1 suited in a most enjoyab'e day’s outing. The weather was beautifully ■ fine, and there was a record gather- ■ ing of parents and school children. Pupils of Upper Tutaenui, Makiri- , kiri and Mount View schools also took part in the excursion. The arrangements were very satisfactory, hut on the return journey a demand ■ was made on a number of adult pas--1 songors for full faros, and this action ■ caused somo adverse comment. When the supply of adult tickets had run out, it was thought that improvised tickets would overcome the difficulty hut this sale proved to be irregular, and instructions were given to collect the balance of the ordinary fare from those who were unfortunate enough to possess such tickets. Just before the train loft Wanganui it was reported that a small boy, named Willie Linton, was missing, and somo anxiety was felt for his safety, as lie had not been seen since lie wont fishing. Miss Linton remained in Wanganui, and fouud her brother had only missed the train at Oastlecliff. The excursion meant a lot of hard work for the teachers and committee, hut their dirties were performed iu a cheerful and highly satisfactory manner. The good behaviouTof the children on the train journey was a commendable feature of the trip. The guard in charge of the traiu was very helpful and obliging, .
