We would point out that for the next three years Messrs Beetham and Buchanan are tho political representatives of all classes m the community. We believe that they will endeavor to promote the interests of one and all, irrespective of the side taken by many in the election contests which have just been fought out. While the election lasted, opposition to Messrs Beetham and Buchanan on the part of those who believed that thev could return better men or men who more directly represented their particular views, was perfectly fair and legitimate. Now that the battle is over and the link forged which binds electors and representatives together, a,more cordial feeling may well replace the hostile sentiment which has characterised the contest, We trust that all classes in the community will respect the choice of the Wairarapa electorates, and render the work of Messrs Beetham and Buchanan in serving them as easy as possible.

Sir Julius Vogel scored: the largest mnjorily (707) of aDy candidate in the colony, Mr W.

We.remind our readers of the concert to be givon this evening in St. M. tfiew's sohoolroom for the benefit of thu Wesleyan Church fund. Mr C, Frirkhoffsr is now iii Mas'lertoii' as agent for the Mutual Assurance and Tonlme Life Assurance, to which .we called special attention in our columns a few days ago. Lowes and lorns' Block sale yesterday was (airly attended, when the following prices were realised: 500 store ewes, Gs Id, Gs 4d, 9s; wethers, same as last sale; hacks, £i to £9; fowls, 4s to 5s per pair; ducks, 2s Gd to 3s; pigs, 8s to 16b, Mr Joseph Williams is appointed Masterton agent for tho sale of Ayra'a well known herbal remedies. They are reported to he made purely of herbs, and to cure those cases that doctors have foiled to relieve, providing there is vitality enough left in the patient to recover. The Post declares tho present Government, as represented by Major Atkinson, to havo 31 pledged supporters, or rather leas than a third of the whole House.. Sir Julius Vogel commands 30 assured votes, .Sir. George Grey 15 ; there are 3 doubtful and 12. who are opposed to the Ministry without being pledged to any particular section of it, ■-, . A crowd waited patiently at the -Post Office corner all yesterday afternoon for the Waikaraka and Alfredton returns. The former reached Masterton nbout half past four, and were conclusive in favor of Mr G. Beetham. When the Alfredton return arrived about half-past six, and added nine moro votes to Mr Beetham'a majority Mr McCardle's friends, after cheering him, threw up the sponge and Weut home. According to the correspondent of the Age, the form shown by the Australian Crickotem after their arrival was firstrate; and some of their doings sensational. For matinee, Percy M'Dnnnell,. for Carshalton against Oakfiold, made 120, and in the courso of a most brilliant innings hit one ball which, striking a rook on the wing, brought him to grass stoue dead, and Palmer in the same match took eight wickots for 14 runs, Tho Lyttelton Times, speaking of the' exhibits of glassware made from Kuiapoi sand says:—We understand that a local centleman has been so impressed with the appearance of the exhibits, that ho has determined ou: establishing a glassblowing establishment atKaiapoi, for the con'sor sorts of wares. The industry can be worked to advantage in conjunction with that of pickle preserving, and. we believe that some one engaged in that business has promised orders to the extent of £BOO per annum for pickle jars, &e, The members of the. Christchurch Working Men's Club held a " Sam Weller Swarry" lately. About 150 sat down to a repast consisting of" biled leg o' mutton with the usual trimmins." The reunion passed off very pleasantly, amongst the toasts being " The Memory of Charles Dickens" • The Salvation Army in England must be credited with the champion collection. At their meeting in Exeter Hall, London, on May loth, the " great annual collection" was taken up, and before tho close of the meeting it was announced that it amounted to LIO.OOO. There were four donors of LIOOO each, nnd other very large amounts were also given, Three days afterwards " General"Booth intimated that the fund then reached L12.G00. A cheatnut horse with ladies saddle and bridle is notified as being impounded, The saddle pocket contains a black necktie with two yellow and green strlpea aciosa it. ■ A six-roomed collage with an improved section, situated in Oole-Btieot, is offered for sale; also two shares iu the Masterton Building Society, Applications for terms, etc., are to he made at this office.

This is perhaps the best compliment which could be paid to tho straightforward manner in which Mr McOardle fought out the election. • We trust that the inolomenoy of the weather will not materially lessen the attendance at the Wesleyan concert this evening. The programme is a goud one. and comprises,Songs Sy Mrs Smith and Miss Marshall, and Messrß Bell, Gant, Lowes, Moore, Eapp, and Wickerson, a pianoforte duet by Misjes Galloway and Corbett, a cornot solo by Mr Tieruey, an Irish reading by MrD'Arcy, and a vocal duet by Mrs Smith and Mr S. Ralph, Mr J, H. Wallace, who has just paid a visit to Masterton to collect material for his forthcoming work on the " Early History of New Zealand" has been very successful in his quest, having obtained from Mr Everett, of Qpaki, copies of the New Zealand Gazette,' Colonist, Speota* tor, and Independent, from the years 1841 to 1853. The latter date is the period at which Mr Wallace's history will close, The work now is in active preparation, and will-be published at as early a dale as possible. .

After several years experience in supplying watches for the colonial market, Littlejuhn and Son, of Lambton Quay, Wellington, havp observed tho need for a thoroughly sound English Lever Watch at a lower price than that'usually paid for euoh watches.
