At the works committee last night the Mayor stated that there was very little chance of getting ithe new post office thjis year. The latest theft in Foxton is the removal of kerosene oil froai the Borough lamps by tome •.l.M.MC.bic individual. Mr MesKuyer, CK.,'the engineer responsible for the borough water and j drainage schemed, arrived here last I Monday evening, and on Tuesday made a thorough inspection of the works. He considers they are progressing satisfactorily, and thai 1 hewater supply win be available in a few weeks. I On Wednesday Constable Dodson nr,rented at the Breakwater a man named Alex. Morris, alias J. O'Neill, for having absconded (nun hail at | Wellington about two years ago, I when a charge of theft was 1 pm'ei lid against him. Morris was taken to 1 Wellington yesterday morning 1,,, Constable JJolore. An enjoyable day was spent at the .Breakwater yesterday by the school 'children from Stratford] There were about 2000 passengers on the special I train in the morning, tlii.i number being increased by a detachment bv I the ordinary train. The Kotoiti ,took a large number for a short trip, and in the afternoon the sa'ltj water baths were well patronised. I Needless to say, the beach was a great attraction for the little folk. The Borough Council has been I notified by the Treasury that the application for a further loan of £(500/ jhas been complied with, the usual formalities to bo duly carried out. Ine Mayor is entitled to the credit lof getting this loan passed. This ,will enable the council to pay off the outstanding liability of £HOO and build a manager's house. The butchers will be pleased to learn that there will be a saving to them in consequence of the transaction. A special rale will have to be struck lor the purpose. Mr E. M. Smjth, M.H.H., whose efforts on behalf of the public interests are unflagging, hus lately written to the Government Architect in reference to the building of the new post ofHce. Mr Smith rightly contends that it would be greatly for public convenience thnt the clock tower should be visible throughout I the length of Devon Street. in or•def that iti may be so constructed

it would bo necessary that the portico should project over the footpath. Previously Mr Smith got a reply from Sir Joseph Ward practically consenting to this being done. lie has since comnwiiiiculcd with the Government architect, and to-day received the following communication I in reply :—"Dear Sir,—l-received the newspaper clipping you forwarded, also your memo re projecting the portico and tower over the footpath in Devon Street. Would the Town | Council permit this to be done ? It would be necessary to have substantial brick piers at the kerb, and the permission of the council will be necessary. It would certainly be a great advantage for the clock to be seen up and down the street.—l am, yours sincerely, M. A. Campbell, Government Architect." It now only remains for the Horough Council to I assent to the proposal, and we trust I that the matter will be duly considered by that body at an early date. I ltowicy's Waxworks will b,e exhibited at New Plymouth onlVedn'es-

day, March 1. Alluding to the exhibition in Wanganui the Herald says :—The wax figures, CiClorai.ua, and tho various aide shows were placed all round the hull, and the inspection of these kept patrons interested ti':i the variety entertainment commenced. The programme submitted was a most excellent one, and Mr Itowiey is certainly to be congratulated on Uie very clever company attached to the show. Mr Warsaw, ibaritone; and Kowicv , (boliadist) were both in capital voice, and their numbers were \cry acceptable to the audienai. Mr Lear gttvc a splendid exhibition of his powers of mimicry, his representation of a Chinaman robbing a henroost being especially clever. Dante, the magician, gave a very /ine turn, his woix u-ing very neat, and many of his ipicks quite njw. Una as a sleight-of-hund artist he has few equals. The turn, however, which excited most interest was the demonstnation of Professor Boxland's electrical apparatus. The professor

gave a very interesting exhibition ot the working of the X rays, placing several objects under them, and catling a small boy up to the he placed lum in front of the ru\V' enablling the audience to distincUy setvarious joints, bones and organs. -He also gave a demonstration of the other apparatus-. Taken all through the show is a really excellent one I and at the small admission charge, its season of a few nights only is bound to lye well patronised. The following statement by the Auckland La'.our Department gives an interesting picture ot one type of '-'■ new chum v (writes the Wellington correspondent of the New Zealand Herald). Il says :—•• There is an influx of workers from various places, notaljly Australia and the Okl Country, and the fact that work isi not unlimited may increase the difficulty of getting employment for new arrivals, many, being exceedingly unsuitable for the class of work

that is available. A number of these have been town-bred, and if at all used to work it has been something of an indoor, or clerical occupation, some stating that they had left through failing health, and their ideas of colonial country life appear to have been formed from such writers as Kolf Boldrvwood or other colonial novelists. It is nothing rare for applicants devoid of muscular stamina, and perhaps sporting gold goggles, to state that,, as they term it, they

are prepared to go • bush-whacking' or 'ranching.' Ko, long as thev are I single lhei- 0 , s lml lnuch t i;ijkiil.ty ns jWe can generally get them distr'ibutjod among farmers, where thev will woon comq to their 10ve,!,, and learn that the romance, of farming means milking some 20 cows morning air! ■n.ght. But the real difficulty arises .when some of the class I have depicted bring out a wife and a child or two, as the way 15s to 20s per week, which they w„ujd get ,on a. farm, would be poor suppmt

In the early spring I ' had live young pigs, seven months old !' suffering from what appeared to be severe colds. Their heads were t swollen, their mouths open and their : breathing thick and whistjjng. I had i by me a packet of Syken's brench, j which 1 regularly use for cows at i calving lime. I made a pailful of i arm oatmeal gruel, put into it three i large cupl'uls of sugar, and half a : packet of the Drench, and a. good spoonful of dripping to make it ra- < tlior greasy. This J fed them at six |l in the evening, and afterwards shut » them in with a warm straw bed. In P he morning they wore considerably 1 etter, and the following day all light ; in fact, they have done well ever since. I generally get Sykes's 'l'pnch at the store, but it is manufactured ut New riymouth." - I Thanks.* a ■■ )) u
