A well-known amateur gave a specimen of fancy skating that was greatly admired, while Pearson's Band played several new operatic selections, The rink will bo open as usual this afternoon and evening, but it will be seen by the advertisement that the novelty for tonight i 3 unavoidably postponed, The Standard is of opinion that now that there are so many natives in Greyand the sitting of the Laud Court will be protracted to another three months, it would be a wise thing on the part of the Government if th'ey would mako an effort to have their claims in the Wairarapa Lakes dclined. Judge Mackay is one of the ablest Native judges we haye, and ho would see that justico is done to both races, The longer this question is postponed the moro complicated it becomes by the death of the old man who are the only witnesses the Government can rely upon.

A man must have the fear of his mother-in-law very sternly before his eyes to be willing to freeze lnmself to death rather than brave her displeasure, But that is what happened a week or two ago in a Transylvanian village. A young man had committed the fatal mistake of having his mother-in-law to live with him,and as the old lady was of very rigid and uncompromising morals she regarded staying out late at night as an unpardonable sin. Eleven o.clock was ilie appointed hour of retiring to rest in that well regulated household, and the person who, by a polite fiction, was supposed to be master of the house, was careful always to leave his favourite inn at five minutes to eleven, But- 011 the fatal night the clock was slow, and it was five minutes after the hour when ho started homewards. When hediscovcrcd that he was late he at once decided to brave wind and weather out of doors rather than face the dreaded mothor-in-law His convivial associates remonstrated with him, but in vain; and the following morning he was found frozen to death upon his own doorstep, iris «h,o interCSXSi

In the Legislative Council yesterday, Mr Wnterhouso gave notice to move on Tuesday " Tluit in the present state of the finances of tho Colony, the Council deem it inexpedient that the North Island Trunk Railway should be proceeded with, with the exception of that part of it lyinp between Woodville and Pahnorston."

An old and well-known settler, Mr J. Minifie, who has been an invalid for some years, died at Masterton this morning. He was a member of the 1.0.0. F., M.U., for a long period, and was one of tho founders of the Loyal Antipodian Lodgo of Wellington. In reply to a question raised in the House yesterday the Premier said that under tho Customs Duties Act of 1885 it was provided that whenever the House passed resolutions changing the tariff a bond might be required of any merchant taking goods out of bond that he would pay any additioaal duty which the House might impose after passing the Act giving effect to tho resolutions. It was for the oflicera of the Customs to enforce the law, and the Government did not give any instructions for it to be done. In the present case, as soon as the Government had the matter brought under their notice, orders were given to take no such bonds.

An extraordinary general meeting of the Taiatahi Dairy Factory Company was held last night in Mr F. H, Wood's auction room. There were about 50 shareholders present, Mr Francis occupied the chair, and explained the objects for which they were called together. He said the quantity of milk received last season was 91,910 gallons, which at 2|d per gallon cost £9BB 14s 4d, This quantity of milk produced 41 tons cheese, which was sold at a loss of £OB, and there was a further loss of £IBO on the cheese held over from last season. A very animated discussion arose as to the best method of carrying on next season, the shareholders being very much divided in their opinions, It was ultimately decided that the meeting stand adjourned for a fortnight to give the milk suppliers time to consider the different proposals made to them.

The following resolution was submitted to the Wellington Chamber of Commerce by its Council .'—"That it is not advisable to discuss the details ot the tariff' until the House has determined whether it is possible to do without fresh taxation. That while nut admitting the necessity of additional taxation this Chamber is of opinion that tho tariff should not be amended in the direction proposed, as it raised so many complicated issues. That the Chamber believes that saving can be effected in the cost of education and the better management of the railways which will render further taxation unnecessary. That tho proposed one per cent primage duty is a most vexatious impost and will give needless trouble to importers and Customs officials out of all proportion to the money to be raised." After considerable discussion its adoption was negatived.
