The hour at which wo have been wont to publish tho Wairahata Daily was originally forced upon us by the mail arrangements of this (own, These have been from time to time gradually modified, and at last we find it necessary to move with them. In another column we i>mify llwt, on and after Monday next, the Wairarapa Daily will be published evory afterluion at half-past two o'clock. This change will enable us we hope to givo fuller reports of public meetings than hitherto, and also to supply our renders with later telegraphic news. No doubt it will prove inconvenient to many of those who lwvo been accustomed to look forward at midday for our journal, hut we trust to prove in the loiij» run that the change is a necessary mid desirable one.

The goods offered were all selected personally by Mr Mulligan and are of superior quality. He informs us ho intends making very liberal concessions to others in the trade.

A correspondent forwards the following sarcastic paragraph It would not be amiss if the Government saw their way clearly now they have altered the timo table so much later, and also made the journey 20 minutes longer than formerly, to study tlio comfort ol the long journey passengers by providing a sleeping car for t tie evening trains, so that a person could sleep the whole journey, and be utterly oblivioiu to the noise, shaking, ard stoppages of the most miserable journey between Wellington anil Masterton, and I am quite sure il such were provided they would be well patronised, A meeting of the iuasterton Cemetery Trust was held yesterday afternoon.

The Chairman said a complaint had been made of some bathers exposing themselves on the banks of the Waipoua. An opinion was expressed that tho charge was not well founded, but the Trustees decided that they had no jurisdiction over the b ithers. An application from Messrs Smith & Hogg for a share of advertising was advocated by the Chairman, but it was resolved that as the advertising patronage of the Trust was so limited it was nut necessary to divide it,

It is said that an attempt will be made to upset Mr McGregor's election in favor of Mr Vile, on the ground of an informality in the rolls. We scarcely think that Mr Vile will he a party to such a proceeding. Yesterday afternoon a resident in the centre of Greylown had occasion to leave his house for a time. On his return ho heard a noise inside. Creeping noiselessly in he discovered a boy and a girl, agos five aud six years, sitting in the centre of a room busily occupied in opening a bottle of stout which they had taken out of one of the cupboards, having ransacked the others. He immediately took the pair to thejr parents, aud informed them of the n flair, and then placed the matter in tho hands of the police. It is fully expected that they will be recommended to he sent to an Industrial School, as they are the Bame children who assisted to break into a place on tho Prince of Wales Birthday and ransacked the cupboards, and finally got amongsi the money, but artfully left i the notes and took away the silver.

Not only did the Wairarapa Volunteers exhibit the utmost coolness and courage under trying circumstances at the front, but they were the only contingent that stood the weather like ducks, and defied the elements.

If you waut defy, rheumatism, supply yourselves with warm wholesale colonial clothing at Rapp and Baku's Emporium,—Advt. It is a lact that Messrs Gardener and Son sold last season more sheep shears tlian the whole of the Wairarapa storekeepers combined, and this season it is heir intention to offer the 100 dozen pairs which tlioy have imported at less than Wellington wholesale prices.
