LOCAL AND GENERAL.

Fanciers are reminded that entries for tha Poultry Show will be taken at Mr. Hurle's Cycle Depot up to 9 p.m. ti-night. New Plymouth Hockey Club beat Carvington Road, by 3 goals to one, on Thursday. Heavy snow fell throughout Otajo on Thnrsday. At Gisborne the ranges were covered, and in Wellington tha temperature was four degrees lower ;han at any time last winter. At the suggestion of the We'lington Society, a conference of delegates from Poultiy Societies has been held, at which it wss resolved thata New Zealaid Poultry.Pigeon, snd Canary Association be formed. A provisional committee was set' up to draft rules, and report to another meeting. The County bridges were in a very slippery state early on Monday morning, several having a coating of ics. At Waitara between 7 and 8 a.m. there ws i hardly a horse that negotiated the bridge without falling .once or more. I The High School Board of Governors met last night, and dealt with ordinary routine business Consideration of Mr. MacDiarmid's notices of motion re technical instruc-. tion classes, etc., was adjourned to a special meeting to be held a fortnight hence. I The members of the mechanical staff of the News assembled " round the stone" . last night to make a "presentation to Mr. (}. ] Austin, who his been for sou.e years a raember«of the chapel, on the occasion of his leaving to accept an appointme-.t at Napi-r. The foreman, Mr. W. Stockley, mido tho presentation, which took tli3. form of a smoker's companion and silver-mounted am-b-e!la, suitably inscribed, and in doing so referred in felicitous terms to the kindly feeling which the ;est of the staff had always entertained toward Mr. Austin. The latter suitably replied, and the pleasant little gatherirg broke'up. Tt>e value of pertinacity oh* the p-irt of a deputation was exemplified at the Clifton County Council meeting on Friday, when three settlers from beyond the Mimi headei by Mr. Southey Baker, stepped into the Council room and stuck there till they got a resolution passed for the formation of a m- in road that has been a necessity for the last thirty years. Both the Councillors from that end of the diatrict thought the deputation should withdraw whilst the matter was discussed, but the deputation wisely stajed and go. exactly what they wanted, though not on quite, the same terjns as they suggested. At last there will be a road, to Pukearuhe. At Mr. James Wade's resideuce at Mangorei on Thursday last another wedding took placej the bride ia this instance being Miss Eliza Wade (Mr. Wade's second daughter) and Mr. James P.

Dr. Valintine was in Waitara on Fridaj to meet Dr. Fomare, who arrived th< re the previous evening. Dr. Pomare will make a detailed visit to the various native dwellings in the district, and will no doubt lind much that will need setting right from a sanitary point of view. Dr. Valintin'eV report on the sanitary condition of Waitara is now in the hands of the Town Bo*rd. As showing the value of advertising-, Mr. D. McKinnon Bain, manager of the Colonial Piano Importing Company, has shown us a letter received from a band secretary at Cobar, 550 miles west of Sydney* N.S.W., in which enquiry was made about baud music. Mr. Bain's advertisement had appeared iD the Bandsman, an American publication: and it is rather a singular p'oof of the value of the Press as a medium of spreading information on business matters, when a New Plymouth tradesman receives an inquiry from such a far-distant township es Cobar. At the Police Court yesterday, before Mr. R. L. Stanford, S.M., Thomas Mills was bound over to keep the peace for twe've months towards Edward Skipper, a r alive.

"Sticking Together in All Som'3 of Wbathrk."— The friendship between man add man which enables them to stick together in all sorts of wcith r is a friendship worth having. In times o f prosperity some of us can nardly distinguish a friend of this kind from one of the other sail. Bat let the storm clouds gather and we soon know who the true friend is. And when the clouds of sickness gather about us we turn naturally and instinctively to Holloway's Pills and Ointment. They are the only friends whose friendship is worth a rap at such times. We know it nnd we turn to them, confident in the knowledcr* that they will restore us to health.—Advt.
