Mr. La Roche lias a client at Taranaki, who. wishes to reside in the North-, owing to his health, and is desirous of purchasing an improved farm within this district. A banquet in honour of Mr. H. Mc'Kleod —who has just returned from the war—takes place tonight in the Warkworth Hotel. A committee of ladies is also giving the young soldier a reoepti«n social on Monday night next at the Masonic Hall. We inadvertently omitted the name of Miss Ragg in cur last issue when mentioning the names of the ladies on the committee. , The Tauboa Road Board notifies that a three farthings rate, is intended to be struck for the Road District. A meeting of the Rodney Agricultural Society takes place in the Masonic Hall, tomorrow. ' Wo have to opotogise to a number of our Matakana, Cffaaha and Pakiri subscribers for the last issue of the paper not being delivered, though no fault of ours. To insure their saf# delivery, in fuoire 'we' have decided to send, them through the post. \ "We regret having to record the j (loath of master "Frank Macindoe at I the early age of 1G years. The boy iwho has boen. staying with Mr. E. Morrison for the past two years, contracted typhoid fever while in Auckland at the Duke's reception. He came ihack and was attended by Dr. Shoesmith and the case taking a serious iturn, it was decided tosend*him to the j Auckland Hospital where he died on! Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison who! were mush attached to him, did everyithing that loving care could do, but without avail, and they speak of him! as amiable, .obedient, truthful, and; respectful, and beloved by the "whole! household. Thoy deeply feel the lossj of this bright spirit whose mission in life is now fulfilled. ( During a recent debate in the Federal Parliament.

This opinion ;s gatjiercd, hot only from accounts of their doings sent direct to New Zealand, but also -i'oni tho -reports 'appearing in English papers, and which, tho highest authorities have endorsed. Many instances of special braver|- havo been recorded, and it is always » pleasing duty to refer to them. The'latest case, however, has a touch of sadness about it, due to the fact that«_ hero of the incid- - .nt hae since meia soldiers d^th. It is that of Sergeait <(Sid" Henderson, | ofgKenepuru, Marlborough, who was , a, member of the-Second Contingent, , and who was killed in a brush which j occurred at the end of January. Lieu- , tenant Kelsall, writing to deceased's father, i^akes mewon of young Henderson's conspicuous bravery in the fight at RhenostefKop, when he was mentioned in the' despatches for gal- ' Lantry. Had he been seen by the general, says the Lieutenant, he must ; hare been recommended for the V.C.;' as he carried a wounded man out un- ' der the heaviest fire I have been in.

In trying to ward off the dogsy ]_• lost control of his machine and collided with a tram-' car, sustaining severe injuries. He sued for compensation, and the S.M. (Mr. Bishop) made the owner of the dogs pay £40 and costs. There is a moral in this for the owners of certain yelping curs, which are always ready to rush at either cyclists or horsemen. Mr, Beaver, surg_on. dentist, will visit Warkworth on the first Monday in next month, also Wade and Puhoi same day, Mangawai and Waipa on the Wednesday following. We have before pointed out to those concerned, the necessity of placing a light on the wharf during the time the steamers are there.
