THE GREYTOWN RIDING.

With reference to the Comity contest in the Greytown Riding, our con!einno : rary in that district objects to Mr Maun seu's candidature on the (jround that he -is a Carterton man, and, strange to siiy, advocates the' return of Mr; Coleman Philups, who is open to the same objeo.-; tion,' being also a non-resident'.

A piogramme was drawn up s ht md approved offering prizes'between £&' for and £SO. It was repor'ed that the Odd- *', fellows were willing to join in a procession . on the morning of the Biporte.

H, Wood is instructed by the solicitors to the trustee of the lato Sir Thomas Tancred, to sell at his Carterton rooms on March 3rd, a town and a country section in the Carterton district. In consequence of the inclemency of the .' weather St Matthew's Sunday School picnic is postponed till Friday March 2nd *j The election of a councillor to fill the w seat vacated by Mr J, Vile, took place at the institute, Masterlon, yesterday, Mr R, Brown acting as returning officer. The number of voles nolled were, us follows: -R, H. Chiuohen 173. J. H. Oorbett 92, J informal 6. Mr Chiuchen won the election by a larger majority than was generally anticipated. More than usual apathy was shown in Greytown yesterday over the election of a Licensing Committee for the Greytown Borou«h, as there was not one person turned up either to nominate or be nominated, so that the 7th clause of tho Act will come into operation, the Governor having to appoint a committee. At the meeting of the Greytown Rifle . Volunteers held un Tuesday evening last 1 there was a very poor attendance, although , the meeting was advertised. There.were ! only twelve men sworn in by Mr Tully, ( J.P., but it was reported that over the < minimum number of names had been , received. .. It is presumed ' that the ( remainder will be sworn in during the week anil a fresh start made, A rather singular resurrection move- ( ruent is now' being carried on amongst the ! Chinese in Otago. "A Society has been . formed of friends of Celestials who have dome to this Colony and died hore, for the . purpose of disinterringihem'iri'order that they may rest with their forefathers. A : special storehouse hns ■ heen built near Dunedin, and a considerable' number of bodies now lie there awaiting shipment toChina. ' ' The ship Lady Jocelyn will probably take her departure for London this aftoK f noon, The last shipment of meat ..will ' be placed on hoard at daylight, and'hvii f expected that she will be able.tocaat'.off- | fromthe wharf in the course of the day, , The expeditious manner in.which her cargo has been taken on board reflects credit both to the shippers and the officers i of the vessel, and especially upon Mr 1 Henry Wright, secretary to the Refrigers ated Meat Company, under wjjose per- ! Bonal supervision the work lias been carried on, Operations were only com-. roenccd on the 17' h ultimo, and the wi'i'k '" haß therefore only occupied about five •' weeks, a much less time than was taken f with the cargo of the ship Dunedin, which f was about the same size, The Lady e .Jocelyn takes Home about 5800. carcases 3 of sheep and 88 of cattle, and also ut quanB tity of produce.—Evening Post. t The ordinary .monthly meeting of the .-1 Masterton School Committee was held t last evening. Present—Messrs B»dding,f ton (Chairman), Galloway, Rapp, Feist, , j Hogg, and Payton. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and c continued, the Treasurer reported a credit "■ balance of £2 9s 4d in the ordinary ! account, and one of 1215s 6d oil the it cadet account, An application was n received from the Rev. W. E. Paige for a t . half-holiday on Friday next in connection , with St. Matthew's picnic, and was . acceded to. The Committee then pro- '* ceeded to vote for the election of three n members for the Education Board, and e after discussion decided to support the a retiring members, Messrs Beetham, Blair, d and Newman, as they conaidered that the |_ Masterton School had in the past, year been indebted to the cordial co-operation. n „ of all three of gentlemen. The " head master reported that the attendance' 'S had improved during the present quarter,. ir the uumber on the roll being,sll, the i- largest number in one attendance 432, and , e the average 397, He asked for a vote of , five pounds for a supply of historical , and geographical readers, and suggested that the Education board should be asked ,fi to recognise in a substantial manner the il services voluntarily rendered to the school ;e cadets during the past two years by Drill[B Instructor Bezar. The question of ;g tint historical readers was referred to the " next visiting members, The committee fully endorsed the recommendation in l ' e favor of Mr Bez ir, whose services outside' ''■' of his routine duties as an officer in the te employment of the Government had io been of tho groaiest value to the c . school, The headmaster, sent in the {g names of several pupils who were not in q the mailer of school attendances comply • ' ing with the Education Act.. The Com-, ™ mittee decided io take such steps as would' ts- cause the compulsory clauses of that er measure to he respected. The following is- accounts were passed for payment:—E. 0 f McEweii, £2 16s lOd; Mrs Shepherd, |, e £1 ; E, Jones, 4s; A. J, Hathaway, 10s , od. An scoount presented for cleaning tho school was held over as the Committee as declined to admit Mtß ' Shepherd's id cluim for the month during which iw the school was closed at the Christmas 3 H vacation. The Committee resolved unanimously that the salary of the 1 Secretary for the current year should be £ls, at the same time expressing it) high estimation of the value of work done by its officer. Mr Seller, in acknowledging at the compliment, said that the practical io : acknowledgement of his efforts t» serve.

Foremost ,anjong these for .their, 'peculiar .excellencies are Rosenthal's sanitaire and Dr Warner's coraline corsets., The forpaer ib constructed to'obvikte the debilitating-effects of the ordinary corsetß by relieving the delicate and and vital'organß-from damaging mechanical pressure, while still affording a healthful and comfortable support to the wearer. The support to the figure is properly distributed, and the • distressing - effects, of tight-lacing ! neutralised. l)r.'Warner's coraline corset is boned with a new substance, which is vastlj i '' superior to horn or whalebone. It cannot I break but will in every instance outlast thi i corset, being more pliable that whalebo'm I it adapts itself more readily to the move. 1 menta of the body. Both these admirablj corsets can be had in all sizes and colors at ' James Smith's Td ajtp Eoobk.-|Advt,} .'■
