The Blue Ribbon crusade, nays 'Launoo 1 in the Yeoman, of Mr Beoth's to, apparently not productive of tho results wished for by the mora extreme of the prohibitionists, r for I see that Mr Glover, " an eminent teetotal lecturer," lias been .duly received by Sir Pox in Wejtyngton, and has been forwarded to Auckland, there to commonco operations against the nnfotiuriatp brewer find publican, If the way of the Vfnner be Ijard in these Pharisaical days, verily that'of his old friend the publican is hard,er. Total extinction of the hotelkeeper is apparently the object of t,ho Blue Ribbon fraternity, and the Blue Ribbon "boom" as the Yankees would call it, certainly goes on apaoo, It would be interesting to the worldly outsider to jtqpw t)]e monetary reward of services of nion of Booth and Glover stainp, their diainterestednesa in the good cause might then bo more accurately guagod, I say all this in no spirit of captious criticism, but it does appear from the language used by some'ot the more rabid amongst prohibitionists that their enthusiasm might be tempored by a little moro toleranco than they generally exhibit.

A special meeting of the Masterton Hospital Committee is convened'for this afternoon nt half-past throe o'clock in the Institute. V! :'

Mr R.

Mr Crawford had to burst the tail-board open, before he could get out and release his family. Luckily, tho horse remained perfectly quiet while on, the ground, otherwiso the mishap might have respited very seriously.

A sub-committee mwt'mg of the Masterton Volunteer Fire Brigado was hold last night. Present.—Cap! u:i Peacock, Inspector Muir, Lieutenant, owington, Foreman Mansell and Secretary Leahy,

It was resolved to hold a competition on Easter Monday, and to invite the Brigades from Wellington, Greytown, and Carter-

mi to tako part therein, In addition to

tho competition'it was decided tivhold sports in connection therewith, and when replies have been obtained from the Brigades invited, a' programme of the days proceedings will be issued. At the session of the Phoenix Lodgo 1.0.G.T, held last night Bro. Holdaway,

W.C.T. in the chair, ono now member

was proposed for membership. The Committee reported a. credit balance of

£1 Is,(id from last Monday's tea meeting, and a vote of thanks was passed to Bistor Warnor for making the meeting suqh a financial success. A quarters rent was passed for payment, and a committee con-

sisting of'Bjus. Dixon and Glasao were appointed to intei'viey? the Hull Committee ro the position of the Lodge holding fund account. The 'remainder of tho business was of a routine character.

From the Standard we learn that thp Rev. W. T. Western left yesterday for Syduoy and Queensland, for- the purpose ot recruiting his health. The Bishop of Wellington, proffered Mj Western a year's leave to visit the Old Country, but as that would have necessitated tho. rev, gentloman resigning his living, ho did not feel disposed to avail himself of his Lordship's kind offer. We understand that Mr Western will be absent about oight Sundays, and the services in the various churches in which he mim'stoni, will bo carried on ai; '' '"'''''

Tho sale of privileges in connection with the Taratahi-Carterton Races was held yesterday by Mr P. H. Wood at his auction room, Carterton.

The E'/ening Press says that at tho conclusion of hi? sermon'on Sunday morning, .the Rev, Mr • West, of the CongregationaLChuroh, Woodward-street, Wellingtou, called the attention of his heavers to the coming election of Licensing Committees. He pointed out that the existing law imposed upon tho ratepayers a solemn duty, that of choosing the men to whom would he entrusted the duty of gsanrtng or refusing licenses fq wbM were cfimmunly' called hotels,' butVwh'icli' he preferred to designate as,)' driiik shops." The law enabled, these officers to close, any of fclieso ''drink slinpa'-wliioli tliey woro not required, arid ofjiis own knowledge ho could say there wero m:my ; some, not very far. away, whick might.bo closed with advantage. Mr West then alluded to tlie difficulty of punishing offending publicans, owing to the fact that in somo parts of the colony magistrates are to he found who would never, if they could possibly help it, inflict i) penalty on a publican. The liiljico Ijq hellgved to, h,!) lax ji) not prosecuting offenders,' but they plight, perhaps, be excised bv the fact that if they over did show zeal, they were sure to be snubbed and to incur the disapproval of such Magistrates as he roforred to. Mr Weßt concluded by urging on his hearers the responsibility which attached to all of them who had votes to oxofoise them in favor of Buoh candidates as would be likoly to promote the cause of temperance, Qn Sajijrflay lasji Messrs; Hojmes fyoa, started a burn on'theirMatani'wj'prapoifcy which proved a success in every way, MrR. Evomden, who has a saw mill at Messrs Holmoa Bros', has boon engaged for the past month in shifting his mill into new bush, at a respectful distance from tho scene of danger, and everything beiug comparitively safe, he knocked his men off mill-work, and they all went to assist at the conflagration. The signal was given, jipd the fire burst forth in varipus'parti) pf t))e hjflok BJii]i|ltßno'ii]sly, Tho sky was speedily (Jakes «f white ashes depended, like pnpwupon the streets of Masterton, To add to the effect, a danfio firo was burning qn Moßsrß McGregor's land a little to the south of Matahiwi at tho name time, Fears woro entertainod of tho fire spreading to Mr Burnett's mill, and he put his men on to sink water-holes in various parts to be prepared in case of emergency, put fortunately tho danger passed by. There iyas a rofiopji }n the Jqp on Saturday to tho effect thaj: tlje' mill f)t tho Opaki was burned down, bnt such was not the case, The remains of the old mill from where Mr Evernden had removed wore destroyed, but that was .dpfte intentionally, and w.ib included in tho prograniip o| tljq biish flre, Mt Eyeruder/s men wore engaged through Saturday night and Sunday, until the dangor was over, watching that the fire did not spread to tho new mill site, Having bought 150 pairs of Gorman Molo Trousers, part of a bankrupt stock, 1 am going to sell them lor 5s Cd per pair.
