Owing to the strike of the Newcastle miners, several English steamers have been ongaged to convoy coal to Australia.

Measurement freight by Bailing vessels has already advanced 2/G.' The Theatre Royal, has been very tastefully fitted up for the ball which takes place to-night. Ferns, palms and evergreens have beon artistically arranged on the wall, ton largo mirrors fill the panels and flags and banners complete a pleasing picture. On one side of proscenium, is displayed the beautiful banner : of the Red Star Football, and on the other the even more gorgeous one of the Masterton Club.

An ingenious, if not an honest method of obtaining food for fowls lias beon discovered by soine persons in Masterton. Messrs Chamberlain Bros, have a storo on the north side of the Waipoua Bridge, full of grain. Noticing that tho bulk was diminishing without any apparent cause, an examination was. made, and it was discovered that augur holes had been made in tho floor from underneath the building. To avoid detection, and probably to enablo them to pet a fresh supply as required, the thieves had made wooden plugs, and inserted them in the holes. The matter is in tho hands of tho police A proposal has beon made (says an exchange) to dam the Clutha river back at its outlot from the-lakes. It has long been held that the bed of tho Clutha is rich in gold, and if the river were dammed back in the way suggested an opportun-. ity would bo afforded of gathering tho riches at the bottom ot the river. It is calculated that it would take thirty days to fill the lakes abovo the embankmonts, and as soon as this took placo the water could be allowed to pour back again and beagaindammodnp, Sir Julius Vogel suggested turning the course of the river but tho plan indicated would cost but little compared with his _ scheme. _ The proposal is, seriously discussed in the interior.

Mr A. Cutler's Railway Hotel is the latest addition in the biulding line at Eketahuna. This brings, the total number of hotels in that township up to four. The Railway Hotel is situnted on the comor of the Alfredton Eoad, almost adjoining the site of the proposed Ekotahuna railway station, For style, and finish, the building reflects the utmost credit on Mr A. E. Dowdeswell, who was the designer and builder, and is ono which the proprietor may well be proud to occupy. Although some distance from what may be termed the business portion of tho town, it requires only a casual glance to conviueo one that cro long, if Eketahuna prospers at all, this hotel willprovo a remunerative property, In addition to its being alongaido the railway line, and thus enabling it to get the lion's share of the travelling trade, from its high position it also has a special attraction owmg to the magnificent viow it commands of the surrounding country, more 03peoially of that flourishing settlement of Parltville. Bohlnd the lattor, tho snow-olad peaks of tho Tararuas can bo seen standing out in all their dazzling splendour, and the low hills and valleys lying betweon form a panorama of exceptional grandeur. Tho house is a square two-stay building of seventeen rooms; Tho upstairs is divided into six bedrooms, one private sitting room, and a bath room. Eumiing parallel through the upper portion is a roomy passage, which opens out at either end to tho balcony in front, and a fire escape at tho rear of tho hotel, All,tho upstairs rooms are furnished with ropes as a means escape in case .of fire. The groilnd floor includes the bar, threo sitting rooms, dining-room, kitchen, store-room, pantry, and bath-room. Tho usual outbuildings are erected, including a spacious stable with looso.boxes. The painting, paperhanging, &c, was entrusted 'to' Mr' Ge'prge Ward of Jfasterton, whoso wqrk lis; gpeii the utmost satis : faction both to landlord and builder.
