The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY. JULY 21, 1886.

Mr John Freebody, who was released from gaol on Monday, arrived in Carterton by train 6n 'lie same night. A number of his friends gathered at the station to receive him and on his arrival lie was welcomed by hearty cheering.

We -remind nil interested that th? entries for the Wairarapa Poultry, Pitfeon and Canary show close to-day, and that the Secretary, Mr W. McKenzie, will be in attendance at the WjjamPA Daily Offioe from 6 to 10 p.m. to receive the same.

Henry White, who was brought from Sydney under an extradition warrant, was charged to-day with larceny as a baileo of £2OO worth of jewelry, the property of Thomas Dickinson, Westport. He was committed for trial.

The adjourned meeting of the Wairatapa Gospel Temperance Union was held at the Temperance Hall last night. The President, Mr J. Graham, occupied the chair. The Secretary read the proposed ■rules drawn up by a sub-committee, and discussion was invited. Mr Easthope thought the ladieß* committee should not be a separate body, but should form pail sf the General Committee. The Chairman explained that it was not with the view of separating the work, but to give the ladies more freedom ; their work was quite distinct,-and it would hamper them to amalgamate with the General Committee. Mr Holdaway spoke fltroncly in favor of allowing the ladies to work separately. Mr Evernden objected to collections being made. He would prefer a fixed monthly payment. Mr Easthope and others considered collections were necessary. The Rev. Mr Buttle asked that provision might bo made for other Wairarapa townships being represented on tho Committee, at. present the Committee was. composed entirely of Maatevton residents. The rules, having been amended, were adopted. On the motion of the Rev. Mr Buttle ■ it was rejolved that copies of the rules be sent to the other Wairarapa townships, and the'aocieties there be asked to adopt them. Mr Buttle said he would like to allude to a certain paragraph that had appeared in a local paper to the effect that rumour stated the Vigilance Committee had occupied thoir time in watching the hotels last Sunday. He wished to give this a most emphatic denial. (Hear hoar), and he hoped the Press would notice the way in which the statement had boen received. Mr Easthope understood tho duties of the vigilance committee' to consist entirely of looking after pledges. (Hear hear). If any such work as watching and spying was expected from the Committee he for one would not work on it. (Hear hear). No good could eome of underhand work in this or any other undertaking.' (Cheers). The Rev.''Mr Fulton also strongly denied the insinuation. He supposed it had arisen from the name they had 1 given the committee,. The chairman said members knew well enough that this was no part of the duty of the committee, and the publicity that would now be given, to the denial would removo all such impressions from the minds of the public.,. Arrangements were, then made for the raoeption of Mr Burnett, and a .public procession of the various tcraperauce organisations on Saturday next.. The ohaihnap, before closing, addressed a few earnest words to tho members impressing upon'them the necessity of forbearance with each other, and of working for the good of 1 the cause. Thi me'itihg closed in the usual manner.

Also, anyone whoso house was burned down should be fined £lO if

not insured, and at the rate of 10 per cent on the amount of the policy if insured.
