A remarkable piece of luck io stated to have fallen to tho lot of Gunner Horbcrt Skinner, of tho Royal Marine Artillery, stationed at Eastnpy, who is thirty-one years of ago, and has a wife aud five children. It is said that he is about to receive the third sharo of a fortune amounting to L 1,600,000, in addition to a substantial stake in some freehold farms in Herefordshire, Tho money has been in Chancery I'orßome considerable time, Skinnor has already purchased his discharge and taken a country house, Writing of the Masterton Hospital Dr Macgreiror says it "maintains its high character for the attention which is devoted to tho patients and tho comfort of all their surroundings" and he complements tho trustees in the voluntary contributions enabling them to do without the subsidies from local bodies.

. Some idea of the profit to ho derived from tho beet sugar industry may be formed from the fact that tho refinery at Brohna, Germany, paid during tho campaign of 1888-89 dividends of 1100 marks to tho share. These shares aro of a par valuo of only 1000 marks, so that hero is seen the extraordinary spocfaclo of a business that pays 110 per cent profit in a singleseason. The experience ot the refinery at Landsberg is oncouraging, though not equal to the preceding caso. The latter establishment paid dividends of 1000 marks on shares cpsting 3600 marks each—no siqall profit under any circumstances, We haye been informed by a eentleman who is generally well advised in such matters, that tho recent extraordinary rise in the price of sugar has benefited a.Dunedin merchant by no less than L 14.000; while a Wellington wholesale firm clears nearly LIO.OOO on its stock in hand and to arrive. Our Cartcrtpn correspondent also sends us an interesting item on this subject!' He has from enquiry, 'ascertained' that the monthly consumption of sugar in that township is twelve tons. The rise in value has been twenty pounds per ton. Carterton, nuless it economises by using less of the grocery in question, has to pay L 240 a month over and above what it previously expended in this necessary article as life.

It is expected that a new road from the centra of Carterton direct to the

Railway StatioD will bo opened before long. The present blind rpnd which roes off between tl|o Marquis of Normandy Hotol and Grig?'s store js likely to bo extended through, and it would coino out just at the roar of the station building, The consent of two property owners has yet to be obtained,

but it is unlikely that they will rofuse to accede to an improvement which will [so greatly benefit the township, and immeasurably add to the value of thoir own lands through which tho contemplated thoroughfare would pass, The road would be a chain wido.
