Wairoa Bell, Volume V, Issue 174, 2 December 1892, Page 5

Owing to the sudden change in the running of the steamers we w«*re detained in

town, and did not reach heme till this morning, whereas we reasonably expected to have got back to work on Wednesday, con sequently our promised account of the Redhill district is again held over. Look out for the new advertisements next issue. On behalf of the New Zealand Alliance we distribute today several leaflets on ‘ Prohibition.’ The Forfarshire, with the first of this season's wool clip left Auckland on Wednes day for London. Tenders will be received at the Bank of New Zealand, Dargaville, up to 10th inst., fer filling in the Bank section with earth. Miss S, Land, pupil teacher at Helens—ville, has resigned from the service of the Education Board. A large number of butter makers in all parts of the Colony are registering their trade mark* so that their manufactures shall be protected from inferior articles. A piano is advertised for sale in another column. Anyone in want of such an instrument may find it advantageous to apply to this office for further information. Price £22. The well-known favourite Mr Paddy Doran has gathered together a company of new and first-class artistes with the intention of visiting the Wairoa district shortly before Christmas, Mr H, M. Smeeton, cash grocer, of Auckland, has made some alterations in his advertisement. Prices have been reduced in order to give consumers every possible advantage in the laying out of their money. Messrs Haslett and Co. were the sue cessful tenderers for the erection of a teacher’s house at Tokatoka ; theirlcontract price being £255. Mr John Davies, £323, was the only other tenderer. A sitting of the Police Court was held at Aratapu today when charges of trespass were heard, The case is somewhat lengthy and too important to be much condensed so we are compelled to bold our account over for next issue. The Kauri Timber Co. have be?n advertising in the Auckland papers for one man for tail Circular, and one man for Deal Frame. An advertisement in the Wairoa Bell would have procured them all they wanted provided the wages offered were right. The schooner Clyde is loading at Tatarariki and the Albatross, Hands Isle, and Northern Star at Aratapu. The barquentine Waitemata left Helensville with a full load of timber on Sunday morning last. A start was made on Saturday afternoon but the mud held her till next morning. On a recent visit to Te Kopuru we noticed a large cork fender some yards in length lying in a shed. It was well made and of a most substantial character, quite equal to anything of the sort we had previously seen. We were pleased to learn that it was of local manufacture and had been made by Captain McCabe for the s. s. Durham. Vessels in want of such articles will do well by calling on Capt. McCabe at Te Kopuru. Mr O’Donoghue, of Mt. Roskill School, took twenty-four children from his school in a brake to the Education Board offices on Tuesday last to give evidence in the hearing of his charges against Inspector Airey. Mr Airey brought no witnesses and yet wag u t crushed by the weight of evidence. Ths general impression about town is that some men are asses, but that Mr Airey is no fool. We hear it rumoured that the Rev Joseph Blight is to lecture at Te Kopuru during next week on John B. Gough, The Arapohue Choir is expected to assist and the proceeds are in aid of the Kopuru Sunday School. Those who would not like to miss the lecture had better make enquiries of Mr Robinson or Mr Barclay at Kopuru, as we have not received any definite information, Mr Perry, of Tatarariki, has been experimenting upon peach trees with a view to find a cure for the “ Curl.” After numerous efforts, he has hit upon a plan which he thinks will prove successful ; though he wishes to test it for another season before being fully certain This year be applied his remedy to eleven trees, and left the twelfth uDtouched. This last tree has suffered badly from “ curl,” whilst alt the others are in a very healthy condition. He states that if his remedy is equally successful next year, he will make it known to people free of charge, as he has no desire to make any profit out of his discovery. Mt D, Gamer Jones, late of Te Kopuru

school, lias been selected by the City Schools Committee for the position of As sistant master at the Napier Street school. The final voting was Jones 6, Ohlsen 2. No doubt the Board will confirm the appointment although they did not anticipate the choice as Mr Jones’ name was not amongst those first sent to the Committee, Shearing is now in full swing in this district. Already some wool has been sent into town and Mr Langsford lias several bales ready for shipment at Tatarariki. Mr A. Morton, of Redhill, drove iiis large flock of sheep down to the neighbourhood of Scarrotts several days ago, and shearing operations were fixed to begin on the first of this month. We trust our settlers will be able to report a heavy clip and good prices for nothing succeeds like success. If you want to furnish, the best house to go to is &arlick and Cranwell’s of Auckland.
