Mr. E. M. Dell has been appointed local agent for the Guardian Life Assurance Company. Tbe Mangatoki Dairy Company require a manager for their factory. The Keaiher at Wellington yesterday was cold and wet. The first visit of the Polypatic Medical Institute ends at 8 o'clock to-night, as per edvertuement, at the Criterion Hotel. ' There was a rumour in town yesterday that Mr. K Cock, during the train journey to Wellington, was relieve! of bis money by the sptiler fraternity. Through the kind offices of Mr. D Berry, and the courtesy of the Hon. J. G Ward, two veterans, who had been unable to leave for Wellington earlier, were permitted to travel by the special train on Sunday evening. It is understood thst the exclamations of some of tbe young ladies on first seeing., tbe Duchess of York's diamonds and other jewels were quite worthy of the occasion. There was a confidence i» their genuiness that added zest to the charm, and it wes a 1 new and pleasant expe ience to many. We understand that Mr Boy; the Solicitor for the Taranaki County Council, has, in persuance of a resolution of the Council passed at its last meeting, served an injunction by the Supreme Court upon Mr T. Brough, who has been removing stone without tbe consent of the Council from the Waiwakaiho river, just below the County and Railway Bridges, for the purpose of a metalling contract at Hawera. The Council has be;n advised by Mr Roy that under •' The' Public Works Act 1894," every natural watercourse, stream, and non-navigable river within the county is a public drain under the cbntrol of the Council. The effect of the injunction will be to prevent any farther removal of stone from river-beds without the Councils consent until it can be shown that the law is otherwise. In consequence of the great scarcity of metal in other parts of Taranaki,' contractors from Hawera and elsewhere have been looking with eager eyes on the supply of bonlders and stone in the Waiwakaiho river, and the Taranaki County Council has therefore considered it advisable to assert its authority, and restrain tbe wholesale removal.

There was a fairly large crowd at tine Railway station on Sunday evening on the arrival of the train from the Breakwater, containing the Ministerial Party, and about eight of ihe police force returning from Auckland to Wellington. The Premier, who seemed in excellent health and spirits, said the trip down had been very enjoyab'e Referring to the demonstration ia Auckland, he was very pleased at the successful way in which everything had gone off—far belter even than was anticipated. He adred that both the Duke aad Duchess were much impressed with the city and the sights they had witn-ssed,as well as with the heartiness of the reception accorded to them everywhere. The train -left shortly after 7.30 p.m Messrs Cooper asd McDermott arrived last night from Auckland. No more suitable programme could be supplied at the present time than that provided by them at the Theatre Royal to-night, and all who were ucable to get a good view of Royalty in Auckland, owing to the rain, have an excellent opportunity to-night, as their Royal Highnesses will be seen in a manner to be thoroughly appreciated. The matinee at 3 o'clock to-day should be specially attractive so young people.
