SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22. 1884.

It is gratifying to note t!mt the number of visitor* to the Itiths uonli.iui'S to steadily increase. During the past week mi* two several have arrived from distant part-t to avail of the virtures of our Hot Springs. In nearly every instance all those who have /riven tlimn a fair trial, hive been so jr.ro.itly boniitittjd that their bmvi must rapidly extend, and now thiit .summer has fairly set in we ma^ reasonably expect to see many arriving- each wick.w i ek. Notwithstanding the present very excellent .iccoiuinodatum provided, it ia time ddditii nal baths were erected in view of the large increase in the number of visitors that may be looked for. The acI cominodation afforded bj No. 3, kuovvn as the private bath-house, would need to be doubled forthwith, more especially for the convenience of ladies, .md several oi the springs still unutilised ought be opened lip, and other bath houses provided with all possible despatch. That the Te Aroha The'uial Springs, from their wonderful restorative properties, will ero long be famous, not only throughout New Zealand, but also in other lands none can doubt. On Tuesday last \V. Fraser, Esq., M.H.U., was returned as M.iyor for tije Bor.iugh of Thaiu >s for the ensuing year unopposed. Mr McKenzie, saddler and harness maker, has hit -ly skirted business at Morrin^ville as will be .seen by advertisement Mr MeKeuzie's shop ia at the rear oL the Pluenix IJotel, close by the railway station. Settlers in the district and othors will find it a gr. at boon to be able to get all repairs and other work satisfactorily attended to near Liome. This evening Mr D'Arcey Hyland, the renowned h<>r.>e t.uner mid rider, will give an exhibition of his wonderrul skill at Bradley and Co.'s stables, commencing at seven o'clock sharp. This in an opportunity that should be largely availed of by all classes of the community. Mr Hyland lias been greeted by large audience* wherever he has already exhibited in New Zealand. Anybody having a buck jumper shwuld bring him along, a.s Mr Hyland engages to ride same without bridle or saddle, alho to break in two colts in a very short space of time. We are sure ail who an; in anyway connected with horses will have - anoppoitunity of acquii ing some valuable lessons in the management of that noble animal by attending, whilst every one may learn som thing of advantage. One very co.umendable feature in Mr Hylands exhibitions is that no cruelty in used or permitted. For particulars sen advertisement in "iiin isMie. The Hace Committee are requested to meet to-night at Quiulan's Hotel at ei^ht o'clock. The Waitoa Road Board are now having constructed a public road across the swamp which willgive direct communication from the oaeh road to th'> cemetery. Tin's road will also be continued bo as to connect with the road through the deferred payment block. The above work was much needed, as heretofore access to the cemetery has been by a very circuitous route. A road is also about to be mnde from Waitoa to Murphy's Landing so i.sto^ive more direct communication with Woiorongoimii. Our readers will please observe that Mr D'Arcey Hylands exhibition will commence at 7 sharp this evenining (not 7. 3) ;v.s stated in handbill**) so as not to interfere in any way with this meeting in the Public Hall which comm-jnees at 8. Messrs Wallace and Aitken, bakers and oonfc'ertkmer'B having dissolved parfn-'i*-' Khip the business will hence forward bo carried on by Mr A.itk"n, to whom all accounts dv's to the late firm must he l»aid. Ab will be Bften by advertisement an import mt meeting will be held in the Public Hail this evening re the lorwatiuu

•»r a Iforn'igh. Cli lir to h*. taken at 8 o'clock. Nm douhfall who ar<* interested in^ this important question will attend this meeting* Mr Pfivitf having prepared the necessary plans and* specific; itions a coptnct Ivia been let to Mr E.Cinss, builder, Waiorongomoi, for the building 1 of n large pilnt for Mr Denis Murphy to replace the existing small nno nt hi° Innding. Tt is to k* hwzpr in every way than the To Aroh-i punt. h\ a report on the Waioronufomni goldfield-;, which appfw in ve^t'M'd.iy's Thames Advprti«er, it is stat. d that tho *iim paid in dividends bv the New Find C>. \vn* £500 and by the Colonist £3000. Our contemporary lias fallen into the error of crotlitinir th" large sum to the wrong rompmv, the NeV Find having paid tlie £3000 and Hie Colonist £500. A meeting of or ditors'in the esttte of Hugh Hae bankrupt was he. Id in the Oourt I Tonse on Tuesday evening. Tlie liabilities were put down at £105 15s 3d, and the as-ets wore st 'ted to be £141 7s Gd. fn t'u's estate Mr F. Bo >th was appointed supervisor. A circular has been received by the TresiNiiu'r of our Public Library from the Secretary for Education at Wellington, intiraiting that th« sum of JUOOO has been voted by Parliament for distribution among these institutions throughout the c< lony. Every public library will h<» entitled to share in the distribution iccordin<? tn its income from rates, or from su!,and voluntary contributions. l»ut no institution shall receive more th. in 4150, and none will participate in the grant whose annual income is less that £2 Tlio sum that we miy expect to have allotted to our local libriry will form a most welcome addition to its funds. The Thames Star ol' Saturday last says — "The machinery for a new tailingstrtMliny; apparatus (which we in •nti'ine'l some time ago two Thames gentlenvn were about to erect opposite the (ioldeu Crown hattery) has aHved, and a gentleman is expect-d from America by the incoming mail steamer to superintend its erection." We think the time has come when \V.iioron»omai should have a separate and distinct school committee of its own. Now that an excellent school-house and two nirihters have been provided for Waiorongomai, it is but right the residents should manage their own affairs in connection with same. We are certain, too, that the Te Aroha members of the School Conji.iittee would much prefer being released from any responsibility as rgardi 1 tin; Waiorongomai school, and that each township have its own committee. We trust the neeessiry steps to obtain a sejmiMLe committee will be taken without delay. Such an amngement would be would be more satisfactory to ail pnrtie . On to-morrow (Sunday) Archdeacon Willib, from Oambiidge, will eo'i.itict Church of Jui.;l;wi 1 services .is follows:— Waiorongomai, 11 a.m. ; WaiLo.t, 5 p.m. ,• le Aroha, 7 p.m. It is a matter for regret that the local cricketers do not exhibit a little m >ieenergy with regard to regular practice, and endeavour to keep up the credit ot Te Aroha in this manly game. Without fite.idy practice, at le.istone evening .i week it would be unreasonable to expjet any w ort of form will b; attained. T • season for cricket anil tennis is now well commenced, and no time is to be lost in setting to work if local players desire to attain any degree of proHcien^y or lorm at all this season. Every member of the School C unmittee is requested Ut attentx punctually at 7.30 at the School-house, Te Aroha, on Tuesday evening next. On Sunday last Key. Mr Evans (Presbyterian), from Cambridge, conducted morning service in the Wesleyan Chinch and in the afternoon attended the Sunday School, and gave a very suitable address to the children. In the evening Key. Mr Kvans (Church of ISnglanr.), from Thames, conducted Church of England service in the Public Hall, a very large congregation being present. Before commencing his sermon the rev. gentleman publicly thanked the Wesleyanp for dispensing with their evening service, in order that all might attend his service. We quite endorse the rev. gentleman's after remarks pointing out how much better it would be if the different denominations of Christain.s would .sink their individuality often er than they do, and unite with one another. A meeting of creditors in Edwin Hudfield's bankruptestate was hel I in the Courthouse on Monday last, prejicbd over by Air Win. Carpenter, Djpnty Official As-, signee. With respect to Mr Jag-gersV offer, made at the first mooting, re handing <.ver the hotel, etc., n\ Waiorongomai, to the general body of creditors for 4£1300, amount of bankrupts indebtedness to him, it was decided to take no action at present. With regard to the sections 1 1 Wai m>ngoinai, it was resolved to allow this pn - perty to revert to Mr Thos. Murray for amount of his preferential claim, viz , £ ( J2, hs it was irot considered likely it would realise much at present if offered for sale. Hespftrting Lot 16ii, TuhiUnrameti, Waikato, 50 aces, with house (un* h'nishi'd), it was stated by the Official Assignee that by his instructions the property bad been offered by auction recently t'iron >M Mr J.

On the notion of Mr Gibbons, seconded by Mr Liivery, it was decided to have the estate realised .is soon us possible having r?gaid to due publicity b"ing first given. The composition as at first proposed by the bank nipt was liter on ahmdnned, and he 'xpressed a desire that the estate be distosed of.

God. is not the only valuable mineral to be found in our district. Silver ore to an extent which may yet prove to be payable has boen found in various parts of the field, and trial parcels, whicU havt> been tested from thno to time, have given very encouraging results. But it may, perhaps, be a in ittor ai surprise to ,so'ue of our readers to learn that another valuable ore it* to be found in considerable quantities in diffeient str.itas running, right through the niiitn ranges. T lis mineral is beinji' tested at the pivxtMtl, time b}- Mr Hood local painter, un.l so far with D>ost Batifactory results, as with it he Ikis produced paints in a large variety of shades, and apparently of excellent quality. Mr lloiul's attention was first directed to this mm nil soiufv two or three years since The samples uf work suhmittea to us uppo.ireil s.itisl'a-.jt »ry in everyway. K,i!a*tl<l the furiher tests' und e.<peiiiuen'ts now being carried out eonfe-up to expectation-, we may reason. ibly hope to see the m-tter t-k^n up more systematically, for without doubt the discovery may lead to very imjuwtant results, ami possibly to the establishment of a valuable industry. Jn our advertising columns will be found the programme of the sunnnjr meeting of the Thames Jocky Club which takes place Friday and Saturday 20th and 27th. piox.

Our Thames morning contemporary of yesterday has a leanirg article on the proposed Te Aroha borough, and takes what may be considered as an unbiassed view of {the matter. In e^fcim iting the probab'e resources of the projected municipality, our con tern torary has, however, evidently made a mistake in one of the item*. The goldfields revenue and gold duty together are set down at £700, but the duty alone, taking the comparatively small returns of the hist two mouths as an average, amounts to nearly that sum,' The revenue from the goldfield is also 1 undere-timatHd, m a very much larger portion of: it than our contemporary supposes, would find its wuy into, the coffers of tht| proposed borough. > ' „ Messrs G, Wilson, Aliier, Lipsey, Buttle] and Gavin have been appointed u new, Domain Board, anil hold their first meetin; in OourC-houae, lias, alter. i'gpt» at 2. >.' * .
