“ A Footpad ” complains of the damage done to the Main road by the culvert at Simpson’s near Kopuru Hill. He says that the drain should not have been allowed to extend into the road unless it was to be covered to the full width of the road, which at that particular spot is more damaged than improved by the drain.

Bride Street, Aratapn, is at times somewhat lively. One young bachelor, almost a benedict, has vowed vengeance on some dogs that come scratching round the house at night, and is said to have armed himself with a revolver. How will he get on when the time comes for him to walk about with a bottle of soothing syrup in one hand and a young in the other.

Ihe claim of the Hobson County Council against the Kauri Timber Company for rates on the Opanaki block amounting to nearly £l5O has been relinquished. It was intended to press the claim in the coming session of the Supreme Court but legal opinion is so pronounced against the Council that the Chairman li-is decided not to proceed further in the matter.

The Grand Jury returned “ no true bill ” against Nich Ison and others charged with manslaughter in connection with the recent glove fight, and the reason given makes their action very peculiar. It is thought that tney were so full of sympathy that they feared to allow Justice Conolly an opportunity of interpreting the law to the Common Juiy. Their action reminds us of that of the Coroner’s jury in Dargaville last week, The Bench omitted to thank the Grand Jury for their services. Our dog Tiri is dead. He used to sit by the table when we were writing letters and hang his tongue out for us to wet the stamps on. Probably the cheap gum used by the Government disagreed with him and when he went shooting he was shot in mis take for a pheasant. Pleasant, eh ? Ho lies buried at the foot of a gum tree, and we now have to lick the cheap gum ourselves.

The Auckland “tar thinks there are two provisions which may well be introduced into the Electoral Bill of the coming session. These are :—l. That canvassing in any shape be prohibited, and put into the same category as bribery. 2, That in every case where an elector fails to vote at a general election, he shall thereupon be disfranchised until he again gets his name placed upon the electoral roll. The suggestions are well worthy of serious consideration for they both aim at the correction of past abuses The members of the Aratapu Orange Lodge held a Social last Saturday evening in the public Hall, A large number of iriends had been invited and the building was well filled. Those present first sat down to a bountifully spiead table and then songs speeches and dancing followed. Mr T« Nick! the chairman, explained the object of the gathering. Mr Thomas Woollam spoke of the bitter wrongs and glorious achievements of the past, and Mr J. M. Dargaville spoke more ot the present, and the existing need for the organisation. The gathering dispersed at midnight. The question of the illegal expenditure of Loan money procured from the Government for works on the Dargaville.Tangite roria road is agaiu being taken up by the Audit Department. This is a matter which more directly effects those who held a seat in the County Council some years ago. Mr O’Hara Smith first stirred in the matter, hut did not go beyond threatening to take proceedings, possibly the present move may end in nothing more The Council it seems spent money in mik ng a road ‘mf they had a title to the lan i, -ud at where it was afterwards foun ! ti,,

to take the road. The Deparimen those Councillors who did not vote agam the expenditure to refund the amount of loan which was misplaced. Co; its of the vouchers in connection therewith are being supplied to the Audit Department,
