It is expected that the season will iie opened at the end of the' present month. The sitting of the Akitio County Council on Saturday last was one of the lengthiest on record. It took nearly twelve hours to transact the business. The cold snap of the last few days has resulted in a visible diminution in the milk supply to the factories in the Wainarapa and Forty-Mile Bush districts. David Irwin was arrested in Wellington early yesterday morning on a charge of breaking and entering, and stealing a quantity of fur goods from a shop, to the value of £SO. A Press Association message states that excessively cold weather, with frequent sleety showers, prevailed all day yesterday in Wellington., and there is no sign of improvement. "The Palmerston North Chamber of Commerce, on the casting vote of the Chairman, rejected a motion urging upon the Government the advisability of establishing an universal halfholiday. A man named E. E. Lee was thrown from a milk cart at Papamoa, in the.Tauranga district, on Monday and instantly killed. At tire inquest a verdict of accidental death was returned. Deer stalkers complain of the scarcity of good "heads" this season. Very few "heads" of any quality have been -secured in the country beyond Martinborough, where sportsmen generally rely upon securing some fin® specimens. The Akitio County Council seems determined to give satisfactory roads to settlers. No fewer than five met- , ailing contracts are at present being carried out. It is only recently that the Council has been able to secure suitable metal. I At Napier yesterday a heavy southerly brougjht up an unustially,. rough sea, the waves breaking over the parade parapet. Shipping was considerably disorganised. The barque Albert, moored in the inner harbour, broke adrift, and crashed into the fishing trawlers, doing much damage. The weather afterwards cleared. The News states that a motor car, owned by Mr McLaren, of Master ton, met with a mishap on the CartertonGreytown road on Monday night. The car was travelling at a good rate, and on reaching the corner near the Platform farm the back wheels skidded and >siiot the car off the j-oad and ' into a tree. The car was badly smaahed about, but the occupants escaped scot free. A ten-roomed house on St. John's Hill, Wanganui, owned by Mr Edward Tingev, was totally destroyed ■by fire yesterday morning, together with the contents. The fire-had a good hold when discovered, The oocupants escaped in their night attire, and were unable to save anything. The building is ensured for £750 in the Nenv Zealand office, and the contents for £2oQ in the .Norwich office. A number of deputations waited on the Prime Minister at Wanganui yesterday, bringing a number of public matters under big notice. An application was made that the battleship New Zealand should visit Wanganui. It was .pointed out that the vessel was not under the control of the New Zealand Government, but repre- | sanitations would be made to the Imperial authorities to enable the vessel

to visit Wanganui and other places. SUPERFLUOI/fJ HAIR.
