In reminding oar readers that Messrs Lowes and lonia sale of Pahiatua town sections colos off at 11 a.m. tomorrow. It may not be out uf plnce to say a few words with regard to thesnitabili'y. f the section cut up for a township sitiv nnd Ihe township's future in prospecis. In position, tho section in question, could not possibly be more central, It is situated about two and three quarter miles from the Pahiatua Naiivo Reserve, at one exiemety of tho block, and three miles from the Mamwainnka bridge.at the other extremity, ihe townships being on .the main ci.ach road between Wellington and Napier—lhe facilities for transport by road, (aud in the uoar future by rail), cannot be over-estimated. The site, moreover, is most conveniently and centrally situated fur the branch roads from the Tiraumea portion of Pahiatua, ami also for the two roads from the Mangatainoke block, which junction with the Musierton road—one just to tho north of the township and the other a short distance south. As the Manxailanoke block contains a larije area of land second to none in the colony for qtulity, and as it will at an early date bo sold and settled (vido the able report of the committee appointed to report on the settlement of Crown Lands in Wa'rurapa East) it may he assumed that these roads will be the mediums through which a very consider able amount of trafflo will be concentrated at the Violetsville Railway station at no very distant date. The prospects of ihe town are most excellent, being, as we have shown, the centre of a large district con'aining Borne of the best land in New Zealand; possessing a rapidly increasing population of settlers, noled f»r their energy and perseverance. Production and business must increase at a very considerable rate, and ive expect to fin.l that at no very remote period the growth of Violetsville will have surpassed the expectations of the most sanguine.

The following is the report of the Standing Committee of the Wellington Diocesan. Synod on the General Church' Fund:— ■' The total receipts for the year ended 80th June last amounted to £4424 5s lid, including i-876 15s Ud, consistof a balanco brought forward of 132615 a lid, a. refund by St Mark's parish of 1150, Miss Lewis' legacy of £IOO, Special Fund i'3oo. Tho total expenditure was M 44 183 Od, including 1164 payment of loan anil interest. It will thus be seen that but for the special receipts .just mentioned the deficiency would have been very large, After carefully going into the question of the General Church Fund system, the Standing Committee are still of opinion that it ia desirable to continue and, if possible, to extend its operations, as through it a great; amount of church work bad; been dono, At the same time, it has not, through want of organisation, resulted in regular contributions by church members bufficjent to meet regularly the payment of stipends, The committee are of opinion that the Synod should riot only abstain from appropriating more than their carefully estimated recoipts for tho year, but should leave a margin for contingencies; and are farther of opinion that provision should be made for better supervision and organisation, especially in the matter of the regular remittance of the assessments to the Diocesan Treasurer,"
