Mr J. P, Maxwell, one of the Railway Commissioners, purposes being atTe Aroha to-day till noon, and to bo at Hamilton all Thursday. We aie informed thai no tender for the trestle work, etc., Champion G-. nnd S. Minr^. will be accepted, ponding lli6 return of the Engineer to Auckland on Saturday next. B} T sidvprtisenipnt it will be seen a meets ing of: householders or' Waitoa Valley School District will ba hold at 7 p.m., on Saturday, 23rd inst, at the Schoolhouse, for the put pose of electing a sch ml committee for that district. We understand that the Clerk of Te Arolm Town Board has been incsti noted to take legal action against all persons Btill indebted to the Boaid for rates, so that those who have not paid had better do so at once, and so avoid further expense. Amongst the list of Melbourne Exhibition awards we notice the name of Mr H. Brett (Auckland Star), for printing and bookbinding. Ohinemuii School Committee have repolved to vote for Professor Thomas, Messrs Goldie and Lennox, at the forth* coming Board of Education election. Intending contractors are reminded that tenders close at noon to-morrow «t the office of the Te Aroha and Ohinkmuri News for bush clearing for Champion G. andS. Mines, Limited. See ndvt. The Te Aroha Brass Band played a pumber of helectiors in the Hot Springs Domain on Saturday evening last in a very creditable manner, which were listened to by a large gathering of visitors and local residents. If the Domain Bonrd support "the Bund by a small contribution per annum we think it will be a step in the right direction, and the Bmd pi lying in the Domain on line evenings will add vory considerably to the enjoyment of visitors to Te Arohn. The following nominations were received by the Returning Officer, Mr Y. Pavitt, on Monday last, with respect to the forthcoming election of a Committee, for Te Aroha Licensing District : — Joseph Heathcute, nominated by C. Ahier and J. Wood; George Lipsey, nominated by C, Ahier and J. Wood $v Edward Gal'auher, nomi nated by A. A. Smith and G, Itobson ; Kohert Harris, nominated by J, Hart and (4 f Itobson ' William Pibsell, nominated by \. A. Smith and G. Robson ; William Ilethprington, nominated by A. A. Smith and G. Ebeit. Mr W. K. Sargent, from Cambridge, has opefled o|jj: a very large and choice selection pf gpld and silver watches, clocks, jewellery, etc., in the premises situated between Mr Dobson'sand Messrs T, and S. Morcin and Co.'s, Whitaker Street, Te Aroha. The goods include many of the latest novelties, and are really web worthy of inspection ; whilst the prices are extiemely moderate, Mr Sirgent will be o-ily here for a few days, and his visit affoids an excellent opportunity for obtaining really ohqice goods at exceptional price". Yesterday afternoon about three o'clock a storm of much yiolen.ee broke over Te Aroh.i, lasting about an hour, and was accompanied by one of the heaviest downpoms experienced at Te Aroha for so'^e yeais past. The ruin was accompanied with flashes of lightening, and very loud peals of thunder. In a very short space of tjme the water channels in the street were deepty flooded, but no damage was done in town, It is feared the ruin will have seiiously interfered with harvesting operations. We direct attention to Mr John Harts new advejtiseinenb. Mr Hart has decided to offer his customers the full benefit of the 'small profit and quick return' system, or in other words, the great advantage obtainable by doing business for cash. Mr Hart baa a good assortment of goods in all departments. In teas Mr Hai't 0 Ters ext eptioqal value, Messrs D. F. lijvans and Co , auctioneers, Auckland, held a sale of mining and other shares at their mart on Monday. Two hundred shines fn T, aad S, Morrin and Co (limited), were sold for £1 each ; five shares Champion Syndicate mining claims, Te Aroha, £21 each ; 1000 shares Woodstock Q-.M.

If a man has not got strength of character enough to 'ive down lies and slander; he liiid bi tter leave this word for soif o h »Uwr. l "*'

A recent issue of the AucklniH Evening 1 Star lias the following :— -It may tint be generally known that Te Aroha may be "done" at an extremely small expenditure o f money, nnd that tlie means of enjoyment aro' neither scant nor difficult o± attainment. Return tickets by rail rnny , still be had for 30s first-class and 20s sacond-clas<s, while those who desire to undertake the round trip — that is to say Auckland to Te Aroha by nil, Te Arolm to Thames b}' coach, and Thames to Ancle land by steamer — can be accommodated nt an outlay of 34s first-class and gBs second-, class. These tickets are available for a month from date of is-me, and may be obtained from the Railway Department. Visitors to Te Avoha have the privilege of: playing gratuitousl}' upon the lawn tennis ground in tlje Domain, and racquets, lviH<S and netting are lent free of charge ; while those who ' elect to row upon the smooth and picturesque river, may gratify tlw'ir desire at an outlay of sixpence per head To all theso attractions there are superaddod the curative virtues of the hot spring?, and thus for health and enjoyment it would be difficult to match Te Aroha nnvwhere.
