Some time ago we drew attention through our columnß to the very meagre ' precaution attached to the selling of poision and to-day we have had brought under our notice the most scandalous piece of business we have, hear,! of for some time.' In Greytown, on Saturday last, a valuable greyhound pup, the property of Mr W, Maxton, was actually poisoned iu Ms yard, the dog not having been off the premises for over eight hours previously to showing symptoms of poisoning.

The Lutheran Ohuroh at Mauriceville was duly opened on Sunday, August 24th, in the.presence of fully 150 worshippers. The Rev. Mr Sutra, who conducted the services, preached a most eloquent sermon on the occasion in the Scandinavian language. . We have great pleasure in drawing attention to an announcement from a number of leading firmß in thiß town published in another column intimating that on and after September their establishments will be closed at 7 p.m. This is a step which we have long dosired to see taken, and wo feel sure that the community will generally approve of it. A rifle matoh between the Greytown and Masterton Rifles will'be fired at the Greytown range on Saturday, the 30th inst. The following team will represent Maatorton: —Lieut.

Matthews, The President of the Masterton Horticultural Society desires us to inform "Exhibitor" who wrote the other day asking for a catalogue, that arrangements are being made for the due preparation ot this publication, and that he can obtain the information he requires from a former catalogue if he is anxious to anticipate the appearance of the programme for tliia Beauop, as the latter, with trifling alteration, is a copy of the former, He desires to assure " Exhibitor," that all arrange" ments for the show will be made properly and in due course.

We hear that a proapeoting and mining association has been organised in Wellington, and that some fourteen experienced miners are connected with it. The scene of operations lies at Miki Miki, in this . neighborhood, the locality where Messrs ■1 Perry and McKerina's great discovery . was made. Already parties have gone out in connexion with this association, and we hope that Wellington enterprise will reap the reward that ought to have fallen to Masterton residents if the latter had only displayed a little more activity in taking advantage of the opportunity that was presented to them. A Woodville telegram dated Saturday last says:—There has been a terrific rainfall here during the paßt two days, and the river is so high as to Btop ferry communication. On the Masterton and Manawatu Gorge-roads snow fell heavily last night, and it is said to have been the most severe weather experienced for seven years. The lambing season having begun, flockowners are suffering severe losses. We learn by telegram to«day that Sir G. Grey has declined the task of forming a Ministry and his Exceliency has now sent for Maior Atkinson. The Phoenix Lodge, 1.0. G.T., met last 1 night for the transaction of ordinary business. The attendance of members was very fair, and two new names were added to the roll. 1 Annie Winters, a stranger to Masterton, 1 was found wandering about the town last i night by the police without money and without friends.. She was lodged for the night at the station and detained there , fourhourß this morning by order of Mr Lowes, J.P., so that her friends, who , reside in another part of the district, ( might be communicated with. Messrs Wyley, of Carterton, are to-day i starting work with a novelty in this part of i the country in the way of saw mills It ' is entirely a Yankee notion. The mill is ■ portable, and in two days can be moved i to any part where sawing is required to be ' done. We think that this ia a Btep in the ' right direotion as it will enable 1 owners of i small holdings to: work up. their timber to 1 n profit, | An accommodation house and store at ! Maraekakaho,. Hawkes Bay, were ,dei stroyed by fire at 3 o'clock this morning. After the household had retired to rest Mrs Burgess the proprietors wife ; remained up ironing muslin; curtains which sbe hung in front of the fire. The fire was almost out when she went to bed. 1 It is BnppoQed that a spark set tbo curtains alight as the fire broke out in that room. The flames spread so rapidly that nothing was saved. The insurance on the house 1 is .£250 in the National, and the stock and furniture for 1500 in the Standard, I ,( t . ' i Wo would remind our readers that the : Great Stock-taking Clearing Sale at L. J. Hooper and Co.'a is drawing to a close, , and those who have not yet visited it should do so without delay. Winter , drapery was never so cheap before, and such a chance is not likely to occur again.

Ray of the Taratahi Hotel met with a painfal accident yesterday while engaged exercising his racing atook, It'aepms that one of his boy's was riding one horse and leading Putangitangi. In consequence of the mare being fresh and the boy being upable to hold her, Mr Ray took hold of. her himself, when she reared up and strfltfe him a severe blow in the face with her fore foot. The result was, a severe, lacerated bruise. Had the blow been a little higher it must have been fatal, or Mr Ray would have, lost his eye.' Dr Smith was called in, under whose care MiRay is piogresßing favorably, A Wise Deacon.—"Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell me how you kept yourself and family so well last Beason, when all the resj of us have been sick so muoh and have had the' doctors running' to us so often," "Broth'jr Taylor, the answer is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in time, and kept my family- well and saved large dootor's bills. Four shillings worth of it kept us all well and able to work all the time aud I will warrant it cost you and moat of your neighboms £lO to £IOO apiece to keep sick the same time. I fancy you,ll take my medicine hereafter," See
