Mr A, Bowora, of Wellington, bas ' been lined L 8 and L 3 IBs costs for isauiag an unstampod promissory note. I To-day is tho monthly pay-day of the WairarapaPermanentlnvostmentSociety. 1 Messrs Jaa Brown & Co, are the local agents, to whom payments are to be made. A mistake crept into our report of tlio prize list of tho show. ut Carterton oh' ; Wednesday last. In light-weight hacks Mr F. H. Wood's Blue Ribbon took second honors, not Mr Nicol's horse. Tuesday noxt being a holiday, the Salvation Army are going in for a high day by having a picnic in paddoqk during the day, and at night a monster markh will leavo tho barracks at 7.15, headed by a detachment of mountod cavalry, Mr John Fabian of the Club Hotel, Greytown, announces that tho house is now open, and is tho best appointed hotel in the Wairarapa. Its position is central and it has been fitted with overy modern appliance for the convenience of patrons, especial attention being paid to tho private and sleeping apartments. Ono of Alcock's best billiard tables has beon fitted up, and the cuisine is under the charge of a first-class chefft. Messrs H, Matson & Co. announce their seventh annual sale at Tattorsall's of exhibition and other purebred stock, which will tako place on November 11th in connection with the Canterbury Metropolitan Show .at Ohristohurch. The entries include a consignment of highclaßß Shorfchoniß from Mr J. Doan's celebrated Riccarton herd, and ako 35 magnificent Lincoln ram hoggets, together with cattle, piga, &c, Another sensational episode has been added to the Dilke scandal. Sir Charles Dilko has published a defence extending over seven columns of newspaper reading matter, In tho defence Sir Charles reviews the whole of the evidence that was brought against him, and critically examines Mrs Crawford's statements. He then contraita the circumstantial evidence given for tho prosecution with the positive testimony given on his behalf. Sir Charles sums up by declaring that the verdict was founded on fabricated evidence, and he still boldly declaros that he is not guilty. Somo of our local commission agents will be able to give points even to Yankee bookmakers, A day or two ago a ysung gentleman in oommeroial circles was mentally rojoicing in the memory of the fact that his Dulcinea had whispered her assent in his ear an evening or two before, when he was startled out of his reverie by the rude congratulations of a local property agent, who wished to sell him a house whether he would or not, right off on the instant. Tho deal did not come off but the young man got a fright, and the office boy has bow received standing orders that Mr Blank iB doubly engaged, and is not at home to houae agents, furniture dealers, or any others of that ilk.— Wanganui Chronicle. A correspondent signing himself "Six O'Clock," writes to tho Post in reference to the time fixed by tho Railway Department for the departure of the afternoon train for Masterton on Monday. He complains that the time advertised—four o'clock —is altogether too < early for business men who wish to take a trip to the Wairarapa for a holiday, and by having on the Monday ovening secure a whole day in the country. Ho suggests that if tho time were altered to six o'clock it would result in benefit to the Department and convenience to the public, as fully twice as many would make the trip. We may add that we have received 'two or tlireo other letters urging the same alteration, which appears to be ono that might with advantage bo made. St Paul's Church, Dunedin, was crowded to excess on Thursday morning, to witness the marriage of the Misses Warren, granndaughters of tho Hon. Matthew Holmes, to Dr Collins and Mr A. E. Pearce, both of Wellington. The ceremony was performed by Bishop Nevill, assisted by Archdeacon Edwards. Tho wedding guests numbered 80, includ- 1 ing all the leading families of the city and suburbs. Miss • Warren's bridoa- ' maids wore tho Misses Caldor and Pearco , and E, Pearce (sisters of the bridgroom), , G. M'Leaii, and B, M'Lean, Miss J'. Warren's attendants were Misses M'Lean, Neil, and L, Holmes, Mr 6. H. Hos- ' kins, solicitor, acted as best man. The j presents were numerous and costly. The i wedding party proceeded to Cintra, Mr Holmes' residence, at Anderson's Bay. The Wedding March was played by the i organist, Mr J. 0. JNorman. j At tho conclusion of the examination f at tho public school Masterton, the In- i spector Mr R, Leo addressed a few words to the children, He said he had not only judged their standard passes but also taken notes of their general educa-

tional condition iu order to ascertain how far their school exorcises influenced their minds and conditions. The school in point of numbers had grown very large, it wag indeed ono of the largest in our Educational district famous for. large school, and therefore one of the most important schools in the colony. The standard passes as a whole showed good work, the lower classes being remarkably ?ood, and the fitfh having done ireditable work. In the fourth and sixth ;here was a little falling off as compared wth former years, but schools like Maa;erton occasionally shewed a little fluctuition in their results, and he had not been lurprised to meet a little falling off on his occasion. He had pointed out the leficiencies to the various classes, and rouldwhenhe oame up again no doubt ind them rectified. It was moro difficult low than formerly to make passes in the ixth standard, as pupils who were ormerly exempted from examination by owattendances wero nowincluded and he ago of the candidates in the Masteron School in this class was below the verago, some were so young that they ould not, on account of their years, be xpected to pass. The general result m fairly hopeful, the average of passes eing beyond the district average. He oncluded by giving some excellent advice o the ohildren as regarded their conduct swards their parents and teachers, and 11 with whom they were brought in conict, .At the request of the Chairman, fr Boddington, three hearty cheers ' 'ere given by the children for the In- i pector, and (hen the school was dis- ! lissedwitha promise of a holiday for londay next. i

'We are sorry to learn that Mr W. Neill has lost tho Whareama mail this year. The punctuality and expedition with which he has run his line of coaches to Tinui during the past yoar made it to the interests of the district, and of the department that he should have continued the work. The Government has boon penny wiso and a pound foolish in not taking his tender. The bush-falling contract of the Parkville Special Settlement is just about finished, and has considerably altered the appearance of tho country about Eketahuna. The country, as far back as the ranges is now open to view, and tho situation of tho township mem is acknowledged to bo tho best in tho Forty Mile Bush, AsEkotahuna stands on higher ground than Parkville, the opening made by the bushfalling has created a freo passage for the wind, which haß been felt more severely since then than before tho bush was cut down, An action was tried at Woudvillo on Saturday last in which Mr G. L. Rabone sued Mr W. W. McCardle for the sum of L 92 8s for breach of agreement in not fulfilling his contract to transfer certain sections in the Mangahao survey district to the plaintiff. Mr Rabone in his evidence said that he went to Pahiatua for tho purpose of buying land, when he saw Mr McCardle there, who advised him to wait awhile, as he was putting land into Mr Sian's hands for sale, as he wished to get some Woodvillo people to buy the land, so that they might vote for him at tho next election. Afterwards lie took two sections and bespoke four more. After a long hearing judgment was given for tho plaintiff for Loßl4s 4d, and costs Lll 5s Bd. Mr J.

Tho Poverty Bay Independent ' describes this lecture as "not only an ' •loquent oration, but ono of tho moat i masterly and scholarly statements of Ireland's grievances that it has over boen our lot to hear." A Southern paper says "The subject was handled in a moßt masterly manner, and it was abundantly clear that the lecturer, whoso sympathies wero - with tho lriah, had bestowed a large ' amount of attention, thought, and ' research upon the matter."
