Smith of Queen St. Masterton, announces a great clearing sale of his entire stock of Drapery for this week, Many persons imagined that special trains would be run to-day for the race meeting, and were hot a little disappointed at having to stay at home. • Mr Wolters, the Returning Officer,, attended at Masterton to-day to reoeiv'e nominations for the Masterton County Licensing District, but as there were none the election has lapsed, The Masterton Horticultural Show on Wednesday next promises, in spite of the late dry weather, to be a success. A large number of exhibits are promised, and the commodious Empire Theatre will enable them on this occasion to be displayed to better advantage than at any previous show.. It is telegraphed from London that Sir. Arthur Gordon will probably be appointed Governor of Ceylon. The appointment is a coveted one, with a salary of £6OOO, or rather 80,000 rupees, which, at the usual rate of exchange, say Is amounts to £6600 odd. To a man of Sir Arthur's temperament it is not improbable that he may prefer the Indian post to bis late antipodean one, The writer of the "Ladies' Letter", in the Chriatoburoh Telegraph says!-»" Sir William and Lady Jervoia have, I;understand, four ohildren. The eldest son is £ clergyman in England. The second is iri the army, and during his father's Governorship, acted ti hii udfrfceimp, in which capacity he was a general favorite., .He remains adjutant of the Volunteer: forces in Adelaide.. One Miss Jervoia re-! cently married the Rot, Dr Bust, son of the Dean of York, Dr Bust is/known to! many people in New Zealand, as he was 1 travelling for his health here and in. Aus-' tralia before his marriage. The other Miss Jervoia is with her. parents in' Wellington." ' . The divorces granted in San Fjanoijoo dijripg ; the year just passed outnumber those uf lajt year by, two, and those of ' 1880' by jhirty-ityree,"the total number being 36$—or If'.p6r cant, pf the'whole' number of marriages contracted dujcipg fhe ■ same, time. An analysis of the causjß of divorces shows that while nineteen women obtained divorces from their husbands for adultery, jsixteen hußbands obtained their freedom on the same ground; while eighty-nine husbands deßsrtpd their wives forty-four wives deserted their husbands) for habitual intemperanoe fifteen men were deprived of their wives, and seventeen wives of their husbands; for failure to provide and wiltul neglect, seventy wi es obtained divorces, and seventy-nine men and two women were adjudged.utiflt for the marital'state by reason,;of,.their extreme oruelty, . . a i:v ' The following is from the Melbourne Age " A cowardly assault , was committed on an old man, 83 years of aee,.in ! a street off Wellington-street, Colliqg. wood, on Friday evening as he was marching with the local corps of the recently formed Salvation Army. The porpa was marching peacefully down the street, wljen a man standing in the verandah of his house picked up a champagne bottle and deliberately tnypy' it at the old man. The missile was thrown' with such force that it broke on his arm, and inflicted a wound which bled profusely. The old man was conveyed to Dr Singleton's dispensary close at liand, where.the wound was dressed. With a view to the prevention of.suoh maltreatment in the future, a, summons is to be: issued against the perpetrator of, the assault," In his paner on the progress of the telephone read before t}je British Association at Southampton, Mr W. H. Preece ■ referred to the powerful ourrentk whjcji sometimes traverse telephone linos and interfere with their working. That these ourrents may be also fraught with danger ,is proved'by two receiit accidents, one at theStrasburg Catbadral, in which a fireman ÜBing a telephone y?as partially stunned with the instrument blazed, up -in hands, somewhat similar occurrence is 1 also reportei'lfoo) J'hiledelphia,.where a gentleman in the act of speaking into & transmitter had his forehead pulled' tin by a | olaw, and Inst his senses for, half-an- | hour.
