Government intends cutting up j Ormaglade Run, in Teviot District, 38,000 acres, into four small grazing runs of 7000 acres each. The Ranada which has arrived at Suva from Rotumah reports that Meltings, purser of the steamer South Australian,who it was reported was tomahawked hy natives at Futuna, is well. Colonel Davies, Inspector-General of the New Zealand Forces, will represent the Dominion at the Commonwealth Defence Forces Manoeuvres near Sydney during the Easter holidays. Orders in connection with Easter camp were read'at last night’s parade of Royal Rifles, at which there was a large muster. Captain Batten has been appoined actingMajor during the manoeuvres, and the company go to camp under Lieuts. Young and Harris. Next Thursday night parade with leggings, water bottles, haversacks, and overcoats. It may be coincidence (so far science has failed to give any clearer elucidation of the manifestation), but it has been noticed over and over aain how clearly an outbreak ot measles has followed the visit of a circus , observes the Oamaru Mail. It is only a few weeks since a circus and menagerie was located in Takaro Park, and now the Middle School which is adjacent, has had to be closed on account of the prevalence of the juvenile malady. Speaking of the reduced prices at present being realised for farm products, Mr F, G. Horrelll, stated in evidence before the Conciliation Board at Rangiora that pelts for which a year ago he was receiving from Is 6d to 2s 5d were at present almost unsaleable. The Board would probably remember that a few years ago it was proposed to put on an export duty in order to prevent New Zealand hides and pelts going out of the Dominion. An extraordinary accident happened recently.at Waihi, A young man, who was driving a cart, left thcJhorseand vehicle standing on the main road while he entered a house on the opposite side of the road. In his absence it is surmised that the horse must have backed the cart across the road, over the embank- ' meat and into the river, which was much swollen by the recent rains, and both must have been carried down the stream, as neither have been seen since. The attention of the Conciliaiton Board will be engaged this month hearing the dispute between the General Labourers’ Union and the employers throughout the industrial district of Welliutgon. Sittings of the Board will be held as follows: Wanganui 13th, Palmerston North loth-, Mastorton 23nd, Napier 2-lth, and at Wellintgon on a date to bo decided upon No one need suffer from indigestion.
