_ The statement that Ministers have decided not to make any recommendation to His Exellency in connection with the case of John Freebody, is not correct. The position of the matter, so far as the Cabinet is concerned is, according to the New Times, that nu final decision can be said to have beon come to, for the prisoners Pollock and Freebody, have made statements which have vet to be considered, although, • until these statements were made, a majority was against interfering with the sentence. The final decision oE the Cabinet has not yet been arrived at, A sad accident occurred on board the Japanese warship Tsukuba on the 7th of June at Levuka. The men were housing the topgallant mast, and ono of thufidsfell, striking Mr Midshipman Shirafuji on the head. The blow fractured his skull, and ho lived but a short time ai'ter the accident, Application was subsequently made to cremate the body, so that the aches of the deceased officer might be taken to Japan, but difficulties wero raised by the curato; of the cemetery, and eventually the body was cremated atiYanuea Island, in the presence of a large number of the settlers.—Dunedin Star.

Mr Wollerman, of the firm Wollorman and Hutchison, Palmerston North, a correspondent to the Waipawa Mail writes, had a narrow escape from a car- . tain case of drowning on crossing the Manawatu at the lower ferry. A back eddy brought the punt hard against the wire and tho punt was already healing over when tho poles guidmg tho punt broke just as the forryman was gotting his knife out to cut the punt loose to let it down tho river. Mr Wollermau is convinced that the punt could not have been cut loose in time and tho breaking of the poles was the only thing that saved them. The poles in broakmg also took the whole hand-railing down on the up-river side of the punto laying the debris against Mr Wollerman's trap and horse. As luck would have it, tho horse was very quiet and did not stir. Some difficulty was experienced in getting the ropes, guiding the punt along the wire from under the punt, where they had been jammed. On the whole, it was a miraculous escape. The travelling public through the Gorge will bo most thankful when thfe Manawatu' Bridge is finished, Excellent progress is now being made with this structure. There aro now about 19 men employed on its construction, and it will tako throe or four months before it is completed. 7 Tho usual weekly entertainment at the Town Hall, Greytown, on Monday last, in aid of the funds of the Institute, was again a decided success.

An instrumental quartette by Mrs Wood, piano, Miss Wood, violin, Mr Varnham, cornet, and Mr Barnard, clarionette, was very well rendered. Miss Searle received an encore for her song "Granny," and Mrs C. H. Gayfer was veiy .successful in his rendering of" England, Europo's Glory." Mrs Ward and Mr Gamble sang with good effect a duet" Sunset." An instrumental duet by Mrs Knell and Mr Lundqvist was thopfecede resistance, and wa3 sO applauded that Mr Lundqvist had to respond with a violin solo. Mrs Hume received an encore for a song, "The Ballad Singer," and she wai equally successful in "Little Boy Blue." The Masters Downard again appeared, and.' sang " What are the wild waves saying?" duet in a manner which fairly brought down the house, These boys were worth a great deal to hear, Mr Dellor was as usual in his best in- singing "Sailing," and Mrs Seed had to appear again for a splendidly played piano aolo entitled, ' Danse jiigre," " The King's Highway," a song by Mr Black, was the next item oil the programme, and was done full justice to, and was loudly applauded.
