For some time Mr Pinhey was in a serious condition, but he is now somewhat easier. The departure of Mr- Frank Haughey and familv, who will leave Masterton for Te Kuiti at an early date, will be regretted by many. Mr Haughey has always take a keen interest in various mattera of local interest, and the address which he recently delivered on Fire Board questions attracted considerable attention. An intelliaent thinker, a keen debater, and a good speaker, *lr Haughey will be much misserl in debating circles in this town The death is announce-! at Man-iia on Wednesday morning of Mr Phillip McCarthy, farmer, a widfly known colonist who settled on the West Cuast about 1565.

At the meetng of the Masterton School Conimttee last evenng. reference was made to the recent bereavement sustaned by the Chairman (Mr R. Brown) in. the loss of his eldest daughter, Mrs R. Robinson. Mr C. Perry, in movng a vote of sympathy to Mr and Mrs Brown and family, said he had known Mrs Robinson fron: very eajrly youth, and he had always found ner of a most kindly disposition. She had, he said, endeared herself to all with whom she came into oontact. As a wife and mother there was none better, and in her Mr Robinson had lost an exemplary helpmeet. He felt sure that his fellow committee men who knew the deceased lady endorsed in full all he had said. Mr Biown feelingly responded.
