WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1889,

At the Board of Education moeting on Friday last, it was resolved to enlarge Paeroa school. Fiist meeting of Te Aroha Public Pchool F«'te Committee this evening (at tho school hou.se), at half past seven, to make preliminary arrangement* f<>r the annual school treat on "New Yeai's Day. Re the. forthcoming Moij-insville niinu.il spoits, the conditions should read"Nos. 1, 2, 3, find 5, for hordes that have never won an adveitised race exceeding £10." Ten pounds — not five as enoneouslj' published. We direct attention to Mr A. W. Edwards new advertisement, announcing tint he has just received and has now ni sale a grand selection of hoots and shoes of every description ; specially ordered for the holiday season. As an eneouiagement to car-h cnstompiss, Mr E'lwardsoffeis them a discpunt of five per cent. At the Auckland Pu promo Couit, priminal sittings (nowsj piococdinO, on Monday last the Grind Jury leturned .1 true bill in the| ease of Lawienee McDonald, committed some few week*; hack at ths Paeroa Police Com t, by Me^is Kenny and Tlott, J.s P,, to stand his tii-i! on ch'ii ge^ of niwn, and bi caking and cntci — jng 1 at Maokaytown. Mr J. 11. Emett. biHi contractor nt Waiorongomai, has discovered a deposit of ironstoi c. Whether the deposit is a very extensive or valuable one has not yet beendemonstrated, but Mr Kmett is taking the necessary steps to decide that point by piospeetinc. Should it be found that a ppn.sideiKble quantity of the ore exists of n good quality, suitable for fluxing, the find would prove a veiy valuable one ; and, we trust such may be the case. A correspondent writes as follows to U'bames Star : — '"The management of the Waihi G.M. Co. is making short work of Tiiuch of the machineiy that came from abroad. The Globe mills and other valuable ]>ieces of ironvvoik h.ia received a chaige of dynamite, and the debris is to be sent to Messrs Pi ice as old iion. The battery is ncaily ready for a slait, and thero is a consHei able quantity of food ore to work on. Mr Walker has had consideiable difficulty with the + ail-iace in connection with the plant, the portion of the country now being woiked being of the oidei known as "s veiling." Expensive puriri posts have to be used, but make little difference. It is hoped that the amended plant will be at work by the new year. At the Thames Police Court on Monduv l.istj John Williams alias Fiederick Wiliiiim^ was charged with having on or jihout the 3rd kmt., obtained ill 13s by false pretences fiom Ilobei t Fraser of Waihi to which he pleaded guilty. Sergeant Gil'ies explained the circumstances f)f the ca-e, by which it appears that the accused had also obtained two orders for suits at Kiiikiri. <-ix atPaeroa.and thirteen nt Waihi ; and that Revered other informations would be laid against Williams; a renvmd wrs therefore a^ked for and granted. Sergeant Gillie^ also mentioned tiuit Willif-m 1 ? had disclosed eveo thin«j , connected with the ca^e. A m itter ol'o 1 ' some impoitanco came hefore tie r i hanics County Council at its meeting la«-t week, when the following le.tlei was ic. id firm the Ohinemuri County Council: — M Tliis Council helievirg that great wfif-te w,is t-iking place jn the kanii forests of thi^s di^tiict. lately appointed a J'orc-t i«n«icr whose esp^yiid dijtv it i«; to puard against any such wa<-te. &c. Bv the i:ibt rejoit of the Ft rest IJnngcr, it appears that the oouutry on the bouiidarv between the Thames and Qhineniuii Couutjes had been practically denuded of kauri, and that in his opinion far more Timber had b-en cut thon the amount nutho|ise,d by the Wardon, As the question affects the revenue of both Counties, f would pioppse lhat youi County should unite with u^. and take steps to ascertain how much timber has been out ; how much paid f >r, and how the excels of revenue due, it miv, should be appointed to each County.
