In the Magistrate's Court at Wellington on Thursday, Henry Wright, manager of the Commercial Agency, was fined the minimum sum of £5 and costs*for publishing a paper without an imprint. A case of suspected leprosy, that of a Chinaman at Palmerston South, has been reported to the Health Department.

Messrs Sam Brown and Robert Slater have been re-elected to the Arbitration Court at: Wellington, as the representative of employers and workers respectively. The work of dismantling the Morleystreet good shed, prior to its removal to the new site opposite Carrie-street, commenced on Tuesday. When the engineer-in-chief and other railway officials were here in the early part of the week, they were very a?ree v, ly smprised at the progress made with the reclamation works. When the work s f arted the wall was not expected to be done till Christmas, whereas it appears likely the whole of the work will be done by then. We understand that there is every likelyhood that the railway department will take more earth from the Egmont-street reserve. A good deal of earth will be required frr filling in Victoria Esplanade behind the stone wall, and raising the site of the present station. The Borough Council should take advpntage of the opportunity to get the hill near the Town Hall removed. I

Mr W. Warbrick, one of the members oE the New Zealand native football team which visited England some yeais ago, died at Galatea, in the .Hot Lakes districts, a few days ago. It is understood that General Mac Donald's visit to New Zealand is something morethau a pleasure trip. He is noting the military material in the colonies, gauging the armoured strength of New Zealand and Australia in.the event of war, and is having a look at the defences of these southern lands generally, and will most probably report to the Imperial Government.—Auckland Star.

j. The Native Minister (the Hon. J. Carroll) has informed the Poverty Bay Herald that he does not expect to be able to go to England to the Coronation. It has been definitely decided that Parliament will meet at the usual time, and it would be inconvenient for two members of the Ministry t'i be away together. He may go Home later, perhaps after next election, and avail himself of the Prince and Princess of Wales' invitation to visit them at their home. The Rangitikei Advocate says: The death of Mrs. Isabella Watkins, which took place at her son's residence, Bulls, is announced. The deceased lady was the mother of Mr. John Stevens, M.H.R., Mr. Robert Stevenß, of Palmerston North, and Mr. Jas. H. Stevens, postmaster at Hawera. She was the daughter of the late Duncan Eraser, of Pukehou, and arrived in Wellington in the Blenheim on Christmas Day, 1840, after a voyage of nearly five months, which was then thought to be fairly good time. Mr. Frasers family settled in Rangitikei about 1849, where tbey have grown in numbers probably far exceeding that of any fattily in the country. Mrs. Watkins, dnring some months of suffering, had shown a fortitude and cheeriness which reconciled her friends to the parting.

The Manawatu Brass Band has decided to purchase new instruments at a cost of £2613. Four sons of the late Bishop of Durham have all become missionaries and gone to India. This is probably the only case on record of four brothers who are all in the mission field.

A farmer, speaking at Kirwee with regard to accident insurance, said :—" I have insured my men for the whole twenty-four hours. If one of them breaks his neck while he is asleep—well, I'm protected, and so is he."—Christchurch Press.

"We hope that Captain Russell may remain in public life for many years to come, for, however much we may dissent from some of his political views, we cannot fail to recognise his many splendid qualties as a spirited leader, a courteous gentleman, and a constant friend."—Lyttelton Times. In connection with the death of Mrs. Butt, wife of the late Archdeacon Butt, reported in our columns on Wednesday, Mr. W. H. Skinner furnishes us with some interesting particulars. He says that the Revs. Bollard and Butt with their wives arrived in New Plymouth on the 3rd September, 1843, in the Government brig Victoria, and were met on the beach by Bishop Stlwin, who held the first regular sewice on the folio wine Sonday, when the Rev, Bollard was inducted as clergyman at New Plymouth. The service was held in a large raupowhare just behind where the Daily Naws office now stands, near which also the house sent out from Home for Mr. Carrington was erected. Bishop Selwin, who had walked! overland from Auckland, then proceeded to Nelson, taking the Rev. Mr. Bntt and his wife with him where ho inducted him to the! charge of the Nelson parish. i The Town Band will play out in front of! tue Government Buildings this evening, weather permitting.

Those who went to the races at Sentry Hill yesterday by train loudly inveighed against the walk from the station to the course, and with some reason, as it would have been just as easy to run the train opposite to the entrance as to compol pßSsengers to foot it. An intelligent official in charge at Sentry Hill Station is sadly needed.

The good feeling shown by the members of the Garrison Band in helping thfir Waitara brethren yesterday is deserving of much praise. If there were more of this friendly feeling between all neighbouring bands the advancement of musical culture wouli be greatly benefited.

The hoxiog match between Jack Woods of Omata, and Andrew Barry, of Eltham, attracted a considerable number to the Theatre Royal on Thursday evening. It was soon manifest tha' the Omata man was no match for hie opponent and after the second round he was practically bested, but the contest continued till the fourth round when Woods, [who had been severely punishad, was knocked out. The result did not surprise those "in the know" and it was generally | considered that the Kltham champion both as to scieuoe and force far out-classed his opponent. Mr. Oliver acted as timekeeper

AFTER THE ROYAL VISIT. Aftkr oxoiting times the health of children requires very speoial looking after. That the child is father to tbe man,' physically as well aa mentally, is one of those truths that can never be too often insisted upon, and the thoughtful parent will be careful above all to see that her child bas the proper nourishment to establish its constitution. A good constitution is a rock on which alone success and strength can be built. Among the various foods that science commends in these days for this purpose, none holds a higher place than Nhavbs Food fob Iniwntb ano Invalids, iccdrding to the bes f . medical testimony, and, what is perhaps better still, the grateful testimony of thousands of happy mothers, this food contains all the essential elements of strength, and while it is pleasant to the taste and eagerly taken by children, it may also be used by persons of alt ages with decided Benefit. It is a bone-building, health-sus taining product that cannot be too warmly recommended and we gladly add our words of praise to that of the numerous medical journals and experts that have recommended it, Nbavb's Food should have a prominent place in the dietary of every house where there are children or invalids.—Advt.
