Emil Berger, charged at Auckland with attempting to poison his wife, has been committed for trial. During the recent motor-car race from Paris to Berlin five children were killed. A small British Egyptian force is to have established ports on the Bahr-el-Gbadel. The men drowned in the wreck of the Alexander Berry at Long Point, N.8.W., were Marshall (captain), Bartlett (engineer) and Pratt and Jensen (seamen). Pearce (fireman) got ashore after a big struggle. We desire to correct an error which inadvertently appeared in our issue of yesterday, wherein it was stated that Mr T. W. Bapley was the agent for the Citizens' Life Assurance Society. Instead, it should have read that he is district manager of the Kquitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, It will bs noticed, by advertisement in another column, that the next days on which \ pigs will be received at Inglewood by Mr 6. Pott, frozen meat and produce agent, are. Tuesday, 9th, and Tne«day, 23rd insts. A squadron of eleven French battleships has gone to Tangier. Lightning struck a pi«r at Chicago and I killed eleven boys who were fishing. In a thirty-mile trial at Newport the American Cup defender Columbia beat the Censtitution. Mr J. Hawker, of Adelaide, won the English Gun Club's International Cup and 100 guineas, and MrT. W. Bales, of Sydney, won a minor Cup and £l5O. The Egmont Settler insists that its report of Mr Stanford's remarks re the licenses in the Strathmore district was correct, and siys:—" Of course if the B.M. chooses to try and make the public believe his memory keeps a better record than the file of a newspiper he is welcome to do so; but when he says in open Court that we have misreporled him we say distinctly that the assertion is absolutely false. What Mr Stanferd meant to say is of course a different matter. His defence has certainly an enchanting haziness about it. He appears to have sai 1, metaphorically, 'this is a black spide.' ?nd the Press have reported him as saying,' this spade is black.'" The adjourned inquest on the victims of the Ejreton tragedy was continued at Kaiapei yesterday, and the jury returned a verdict of wiKul murder a&rainst the man McLean, who was committed for trial. The clock presented fo the Kev F. W. Young by the congregation of Te Henui was supplied by Mr J. H. Parker, and was greatly admired. It is rnly just to Air Parker to mention that he made a liberal coccession in the price. A most unusual incident took place at the Town School Committee meeting on Monday evening, when a scholar, escorted by three of the senior boys, was introduced to the Committee under very unhappy circumstances. He had already been dealt with by bis mother and the head master, but their correction had proved unavailing in checking a pernicious practice. Having admitted his guilt and promised to amend his conduct he received a kind but serious reprimand from the chairman, who pointed out the gravity of the offences, and gave the boy a last cbancs of reformation. It is to be hoped the lad will profit by the le. iency ah iwn him. Soma comment was indulged in yesterday it the wharf anenfc the Brindisi mails landed by the Glenelg. Had it been the 'Frisco mail the postal authorities would probably have • been working at high pressure t> get the mails forwarded on to their destination ; but in this case 106 bags of mails were allowsd to lie quietly on the wharf from half-past nine to half-past eleven o'clock, when a train came leisurely along and took them off. The comment was not made in the way of blaming either department, but was rather of a facetious charac*er. Why o»eKng'ish mail, because it came by the 'Frisco route, should occasion so much commotion, and another, probably equally important, but coming by a different channel, be allowed to jog along in a very ordinary manner proved too deep a conundrum, for the speuuUtora. A laly obtained a snapshot of the recumbant mail bags, which, it is understood, will be forwarded as a curiosity to the Hon. Postmaster-General. AT THE BAR, * greatest compliment ever paid to a medicine was that paid to Impby's " Mat Apple," when, during the recent Tariff DeM's.H.R. testified openly in the House the efficacy of this great remedy- a guaranteed cure for all lyver diosrders. A oottle was subsiequently presented to every member of the, House, and Members now speak in high terms of its goo effects, All ohemists and stores stock it per bottle,— Advt

" Sticking Together in All Sonts of Weathkx."— The friendship between man and man which enables them to stick tn. gether in all sorts of weUh- r is a friend-hip I worth having.
