Owing to the departure of the Resident Magistrate for Te Aroha the case of Thomas v. Campbell did not take place, as will be seen from a report elsewhere, at the E.M. Court this morning. Me G. T. Wilkinson, Native agent, informs us that the first intimation he received of the murder at Te Aroha was through the report in our morning contemporary. On making enquiries Mr Wilkinson found out that Mr Kenrick had already started for the scene of the outrage, without informing him of his action. Mr Wilkinson thereupon started for Te Aroha, in order to be present at the enquiry. The Resident Magistrate (H. Kenrick, Eeq.), Sergeant-Major O'Grady, and Dr Huxtable proceeded to Te Aroha early this morning in order to hold an inquest into the death of Himiona, who was found dead yesterday. D. A. Tole, Commissioner of Crown Lands, notifies the sale of sections in the Atuaoroa village, Te Puke block. Plans and further information can be obtained at the Survey Office Tauranga, or a the head office Auckland. The members of the Thames Rifle Rangers competed this morning at the range Parawai, for the honor of representing the company at the forthcoming Nelson meeting. Nol. G. Downie made 83 points. The election for the new Harbour Board will take place on Monday next at the office of the Thames Harbour Board at 2 p.m. The list of persons eligible to vote for the election of members can be seen at the Harbour Board offices. It is quite true that the excursionists re turning from Wairoa made themselves hoarse proposing toasts, cheering, and doing honor to themselves. It may appear somewhat incongruous to group the health of His Worship the Mayor and the Major's mare in one toast, but such we believe happened. Cheers were &\bo given for the brown coat of Billy Barlow, the County Chairman, besides many others that shall be nameless. A NEW supply of violin strings and sewing machine oil has just been received, also a B flat clarionet, and a number of other musical instruments.
