Messrs Sellar and Chennells advertise a houso and land situated in Chapel-street Masterton, as being for sale on easy terms.

That a skilful angler can catch a trout in this noighb •rln md may now be regarded as a demonstrated fact. A two pound fci out was left at our office yeatci day morning not to be admired but to be eat, and we regaid this suecimen as the best on this season's record, till we see anothei bigger and better opposite our knife and fork. The many friends of Mr Chns Zabell, settler, of Carterton, will be pleased to hear, says a Wellington contemporary, that since his right eye was so successfully taken out by Dr, Kemp, at the Wellington Hospital, bo has made rapid strides towards recovery. His general health is much, improved, and his spirits are much lighter, with the prospect that lie may yet recover the tight of his other eye, and speedily be enabled to return home.

We havo pleasure in drawing attention to tho Davies-McLeau concert which is to take place in tho Theatre Royal to-night, feeling that in doing so wo are hringini' under notiuo a mußical entertainment of an exceptionally meritorious character, and one of a class that seldom visits Masterton. Mr Wynn McLean as a violinist has perhaps not been equalled by anyone who has come to the' colonies unless perchance the great Wilheling ; and as regards Miss Lillie Duvies, the reports from those who liayo heard her sing in Wellington me o f a must favorable description. The Company also has in Hcrr Mosch a pianist of considerable ability. Taken altogether a very superior evening's music will without doubt be provided, and wo not only anticipate a full house, but we would recommend those who wish to secure good seats to book early at Mr Prices, and thus make sure of them. The company also gives a second conceit on Saturday evening, and will then render an entirely different programme.

A matter ot importance to Special Settlement Associations was brought under the notice of the Minister of Lands on Wednesday last, by Mr J. k Russell, a member of the Awahou-Pohaiigina Special Settlement Assumption, with reference to tho piyment of tliiixU to the Association. It appears that the Association, on the faith oi a promise made by Mr Ballancu, when Minister of Lands, has undertaken some K.ntraots, and is anxious that the m.mey should be pnd over, 'Although a clause was specially introduced into the Land Act of last session to meet cases of this kind, there appears to be a doubt whether the thirds can bo legally unid to the Associations in preference to the local bodies, and before replying to the deputation, the Minister intends consulting the law officers on the point

Regarding the scene of the recent railway accident near Foalherston, the Wellington correspondent of a Ohrtst'hureh paper writes:—"Tho country is open, fairly level laud about a mile to the S.K, of tho ranges, but opposite a deep ravine in the range, which runs about N.W. and S. 15., iind so is in the line of the prevailing wind, which it conducts on to the plain as through a funnel. It has been found Uv\t the blasts issuing from this ravine spread out towaids the railway line in the shape of a fan, which is about a mile apart in its widest part, where it strikes the railway. The proposal is to erect a wind fence along tuo windward side of the line for a (list oicu of a mile, or a little less, somewhat after the pattern which has proved so thoroughly effici n nt a protection on the Rimutaka lino. Whatever may bo the cost, which in any case cannot exceed a thousand or two, it would be much cheaper, even from a money point of view, than to run the risk of another mishap, wliklv could hardly be expected to pass off with such marvellously small damage as that of Thursday last. The risk to human life has also to be considered and so it is regarded as certain that the protective works will bo carried out without a moment's unnecessary delay, Such is actually the outcome of the official and professional inveatigationoftheacoident,"

Messrs Lowes & lortis add to their stuck sale for Wednesday next a lino of GO head of young cattle. Mr 0. T. D'Arcy is authorised to collect all outstanding accounts owing to, Mr James Rosa,

Tho first round of the Tennis Single Handicap was finished last night when Mr H, Warren boat Mr G. H. Blackburne. A second-round game of the same handicap was then played, resulting in Mr U, Warren beating Mr H. B. Dyer, News has been received of the death yesterday at Ohristchurch of the Rev Dr Harvey, Principal of the Wanganui Collegiato School.' The deceased gentleman was on his way to England by order of his medical advisers. F, Marion Crawford tells this story of Oscar Wilde: " Wilde," says he, " came into my study one day and sat down at a table, leaning his head heavily on his hand and said: ' Ah! Crawford, Crawford, I am f eelinc vory sad to-night. Une half of the world does not believu in God and tho other half does not believe in me.'"

Our correspondent, in Iris report of the Anniversary Day Sports at Carterton seems to lmvo mush under-estimated the attendance, for, according to figures which Mr C. E, Halloran, the Secretary has kindly furnished us with, there must have been quite seven hundred persons present on the Carterton Show Grounds, and the gatemoney taken (£2G 9s) bears (Hit this fact. The other receipts were from refreshments £l2 18s 7d, entrance

fees £lO 12s and frmu the entertauunciiG in tliu evening £lO 14s, also sundries £(i lis. making a total income of M. The expen 'iturc was £3li, leaving a credit balance of £3O, which it is intended, we believe, to hand over to the Parsonage fund of St Marks Church, m aid of which tho fete was held, Despite the very wet weather which prevailed, the sports were a great success in every way, and the arrangements made by the management were exceedingly good.

At a meeting of the Borough Works Committee held last night it was resolved that Mr W. Darley should bo asked to hind over ilia water cart so that the Council could arrange for a driver who would use it in conjunction with the Calil'omian pump, which Mr Darley had declined to do on the ground that the pump was too severe labor for one man. It was explained in justification of tho Committee's actum that the pump had been altered, bv which the hardship of the work had been considerably reduced, Wo learn by a special telegram, just received from our Tinni corresponded, that an accidont happened to Mr W, Lowes, while riding yesterday along a rough track near Pakawai, by which his

Toohill that the Insurance Companies are showing a backwardness in not settling his claims as promptly as he would wish, and they give no reason for the delay. He has, therefore, • instructed his lawyer to take step's which will expedite their action a bit. It seems* that Mr Toohill

is very much inconvenienced, as his premises were pretty well rendered inhabitable in some portions by the flru, and tho business rooms wore considerably disturbed. The National Insurance Company (Messrs Lowes and lorns) at once signified their readiness to carry out repairs, and they are only held back by a want of similar promptitude on the part of the other companies interested We bring this matter under notice at Mr Toohill's request, and trust that an early settlement will be made to his satisfaction,

A traction engine with full steam up and making a most unearthly clatter, passed along Queen street, on Wednesday at a time when that thoroughfare was at its busiest. It has been pointed out to us that such a proceeding is very dangerous, as the probability of starting horses and so causing accidents, is great in the extreme. In both the North provinces and in the South island it is at leist considered necessary to have a man about ono hundred'yards in front of the engine and another about the samedistauce behind, to. warn or help those who are riding or driving and especial consideration is shown to ladies who are on the road. Here, no precaution of this kind seems to have been adopted, and we think the Borough Council should take some notice of the matter wiih a view to an improvement. Cr Cullen, we believe, tried to get a bye-law bearing on the subject passed, but unsuccessfully.
