A gentleman, after getting a soda-and brandy, was retiring from a railway station refreshment bar. Recollect, sir, said the polite barmaid, “if you lose your purse, you didn’t pull it out here.” A nobleman who is in the habit of speaking to soldiers in an affable manner was amused when a guardsman said to him in a hearty and genial way—“ I like you, my lord. There’s nothing of the gentleman about you.”

It is stated that Mr Beethara, R.M, is about to be transferred to Wellington, and that Mr Mellisb, of Christchurch, will be his successor, Oamaru is to he the recipient of Mr I. N. Watt, of Dunedin. It is said that Mr Maxwell, who has bee appointed general manager of railways, ha gained his experience as a railway engineer in the colony.

Prior to his present appointment he acted as assistant engineer in charge of the North Island. A meeting of the Education Board to consider the unhappy condition of affairs in the Timaru Public School, and other business, takes place on Tuesday next. In a civil case heard this morning, all witnesses were ordered out of Court. On a rather important witness being called, some surprise was created by the individual in question getting up from a seat at the back of the Court. He was asked it he had not not heard all witnesses ordered out of Court. He said he had not. Mr White,who was appearing for the plaintiff, remarked that the fault lay probably more with the Courthouse than with the witness. Persons seated at one end of the Court were wholly unable to understand what was going on at the other. His Worship fully concurred with Mr White, and the witness was allowed to get into the witness box, it being taken for granted that he had not heard one word of the foregoing evidence.
