Mr E, McKenzie gives notice to the owner of section No 20, Block 11, Kopuarangi,regarding the erection of a dividing fence. Mr R. McGuirc, carpenter of Masterton, was injured by being thrown from his horso oil Sunday last, but not seriously, some severe bruises being tlio worst result. The Lessee advertises that the Theatre Royal Oyster saloon is to be let. There is at present no establishment of the kind in town. This, therefore, should bo a good opening for an enterprising man. Excursion fares on Saturday next and reduced rates from Friday to Monday are now announced by tlio Railway Department in connection with the football match at Wellington. The evening train to the Wairarapa on Saturday will be a late one. The latest yarn about the meteor is that it struck the Puketoi range, north-west of Akitio, A well-known squatter, who came down yesterday, vouches for tlio fact, and says that the earthquake which followed was caused by tho bang with which the luminous conglomeration went into the hill. He invites sceptics to go up and see the place. We wonder how deep tho hole is, A new railway time-table comes into operation to-day. Tho only alteration affectin? the Wairarapa is the running of the evening train from Masterton through to Mrtiigamahoe on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We are glad to notice that the efforts of Mr R. V. Smith and tho representations of this journal have had the effect of thus extending the usefulness of the local train on these two principal days of the week. The additional facility will be very valuable to people attending the Masterton market, Mr B, Dawson, tho Department's able Traffic Manager, is to be complimented upon the manner in which he fives the country applications attention, and, where there is cause for complaint, administers tho remedy. There will shortly be held in Masterton an exhibition on an extensive scale, of works of art, paintings, models, curious, and all articles of age, rarity, or novelty. A vory influential committee will bo formed, and promises of support have been received from all parts of Wairarapa and from Wellington. The Maoris also have the matter in hand, and the Native Court will be made a speciality. It is intended to ask the Mayors of the different Boroughs, our two members of the House of Representatives, and a number of tho leading citizens to allow tho undertaking to be announced under their patronnge, so as to auspiciously introduce it. The exhibition will be opened some timo in Juno.

At yesterday's County Council meeting the wheel tire by-law was again the subject of troublesome discussion, Cr Maunsoll had pledged himself at the Tenui public meeting to support the prayer of the petition for an abolition of of the by-law. Afterwards he found that many of the memorialists had been under a misapprehension in signing the document and that what they really wanted lias simply a modification. He, therefore, to keep his promise, moved yesterday that the prayer of the petition be acceeded to. The Chairman, however, ruled that the course of procedure required by the Act necessitated notice,of motion, and Cr Maunsoll therefore withdrew his resolution and gave the required notice of his intention to move it at nest meeting.

The anti-Chinese proclamation declaring certain Asiatic porta infected with contagious disease is all ready for issue, but it is said to bo awaitiner tho signature of his Excellency the Governor. This morning's N.Z. Times says that an impression prevails that this signature may not be readily appended to the document, and that possibly special instructions from Home may bo deemed requisite before so pronounced a step is taken, Mr W, Everett, of Opaki, while driving to the Taueru yesterday, met with an accident, about two miles this side of that village. His buggy caught on the end of a culvert, and was capsized. Mr Everett was thrown out and stunned, the wheel also passing over his thumb and severing an artery. Some Maories came to the rescue, and Messrs J. Thompson and Tlios. Parsons also driving up, matters wero soon put to rights. We are very glad indeed to hoar that Mr Everett's injuries were not more serious, a graze on the head, a damaged thumb, agd the general shaking being the worst features. The thumb bono is actually fractured, but it is anticipated that it will be easily set. Dr Beard attended the sufferer.

There ia a movement in Masterton in the direction of forming a salvage corps, independent of the Fire Brigades, This is an outcome of the sacrifice of property which took placo m removing Mr Joseph Dixon's goods and effects oil the occasion of the recent fire. A moetiug will probably be called for next Monday night. In tlio appeal case, Fulton v McOardle, the Chief Justice yesterday ruled tjjat thonew trial ought not to liavo been granted. The defendant is entitled to the costs, also to the costs of the trial and the motion for judgment. Mr Justice Williams, in agreeing with the Chief Justice, said the promissory noto, upon which tho action is based, was to be given up to Hutchen to be cancelled. If tho note was discharged, Fulton cannot now sue on it. Mr Justice Ward : I concur. The question is whether Fulton was in equity tho holder of the note. 1 cannot see that a person who dincnunts a noto acquires any title to the thing purchased with the money. If Fulton intended to purchase the first note, it would not have been handed to Haggen for the makers. Fulton had no reason for purchasing tho note; he had the same names on the second note. Then, again, Fulton was aware of the provisions of the deed, which provided that the first noto was to be returned for cancellation
