Two or three of the good folks about Carterton, on Thursday, bad to interview Mr B. Boys, J.P., on Friday, owing to a too free sampling of the liquor exhibits on the previous day. Messrs P. H.

Great excitement was occasioned in Greytowo on S iturday last at noon by the receipt of a telegram stating that Te Whiti, Tuhu, and Hiroki were arrested. The newj being confirmed a short time after by another telegrira. The local paper published an extra, which scattered the news far and wide, and caused many that bad friends at, the front to heave sighs of relief, to think it had been done without bloodshed.

The excitement attending the news from the front was aptly taken advantage "f in Greytown for electioneering purposes, fura very energetic candidate could lie seen wherever a knot of persons assemhied, and the conversation soon turned to the pitlitic.il. " Success to our Volunteers" was ngain and again drank, and whether the toasters were Maoris or Chinamen it did not much matter to the energetic, as ho paid without a murmur, We understand that as Mr P. Q, Moore is retiring from, the Wairarapa West Council, and will not come forward •for re-election, Mr Hawkins will, at the request, of several leading settlers, place h s services at tho disposal of the electors ■ f the Mnetertmi Hdiog. are glad to hear this, for Mr Hawkins is undoubtedly as a public loan ai any we possess in 'he district, and he will he likely to do ■ooil service for any division of the county for which he may bo returned. A person who was prpsent at Mr Renall's Eliotiihuni meeting writing to a friend in Masterton describes it in the following characteristic terms:—" The speech was a very rambling affair. He found fault with many matters, hut forgot to explain his method of improving or altering them. Ho seems to have a talent for talking without coming pointedly to the question ; for saying n good deal without giving the audience the slightest information. On the whole it was a yery unenthnsinstic meeting, Nothinghesaid was contradicted. He was neither cheered nnr hissed, A few men were s'eep'ng soundly and snoring heartilv all ilin time, and in the end thev •pfiiiipd to have enjoyed themselves the best. The settlers think they would havp had a be'tpr opinion, of him had they never heard him.

This con'inued for wme time, till at last poor Mrs A. was obliged to leave her own house, ■Hid gn into one where she will have to nay rent.
