The Palace Hall at Greytown was i nicoly decorated for tho Greytown Orchestral Society's annual dance last i nisht, and an admirable programme of twenty-si* dances had been provided. The supper was on a very liberal scale, the arrangements for it being superintended by Mesdames Fuller and MoMaster. The Masters of Ceremonies ' were Messrs F H Wood, It Bright, and J Lucoiw, and very suitable ones they mado. The OrohostrKl Society naturally provided its own musio, and tho various dances wore played by its members— Mr JU, E Varnham (conductor), Mrs Morris Wood, Miss MoMaster, Miss Jennie Wood, Miss Olive Fuller, and Messrs Maguire, Stowell, Tipp, L St. Georno, J and A Barnard. Although the evening was thoroughly enjoyable, there were far from as many present as might have been expected; in fact the attendance was small. This is to be regretted, The causes were yarious.' The frequency of dances of late and the knowledge that thoro are ono or two more to come, no doubt had something to do with it, The committee also was perhaps not rjperous enough, and then too, they, with confiding but sadly misguided judgment, left everything to their musical conductor, This gentleman has proved himself a veritable giant in mmjo, but he is a perfect child in getting up a'' show," nf we heard someone say, He depended too much on nhance.and his delightfully dreamy good nature is-not adapted for tho promotion of dances of an adequately mammoth charaoter. About one hundred friends of the lato Mr James JB'arrell of Carterton followed his remains to tho Olaroville cemetery yesterday afternoon. Some had como from Greytown and others also were there from a distanco prompted by kind recollections of the deceased, to show tho respectful sympathy they felt by following in sad momory his body to the grave. Among the'mourners we noticed MrW. P. fluclmnap, thomomhr'of Parliament tor tho district, and also tho Messrs Tanored. the latter' ot whom the late Mr Parrel! had' faithfully served when he first camoto the Wairarapa. Tho service was that of the Eoman Catholic Churoh, and was read by the Eev. Father MoKenna. Wo are indebted, to Mr Bishardson for tho following information as to tho principal alterations in the Sheep Bill (hat lately passed both houses. In Bcotlon 9 the titles of tho officers aro Chief Inspectors and Inspectors of Slock instead of Inspectors and Sub-Inspectors of Sheep. Section 21 provides that the. annual returns of sheep aro to bo furnished on 30th April, instead of 31st May. By section 23 the Inspector tabs v immediate possession of infected sheep, and pljMlis them at the owner's expense, instead of giving the oper an order to dean, and thon having him fined for failing to do so, Seoiiuns 40,41, and 42 refer to tho introduction of sheep from Australasia, and by segtjop 43 sheop cannot be removed from, a clean district until two years has elapsed after the djstrict has been declared .clean, nor from an adjoining infected run without a writen permit from an Inspector, Section CO is forthe protection of Angora goats, and by Section 66, notice has to be given of intentions to yard or inptor by ownor, to all adjoining ownors | instead of only by owners of ,a run of 500 acres in extent, Section 67 provides thatsheep are to bawoolbranded aftor shoarlne before leaving yards after January Ist, 1891, unless, a petition signed by the majority of sheep ownors. representing- not less than two thirds tho total number of sheep in the districts or sub diyieioii be presented to the Governor to exempt such districts or subdivision from the operation of this Section.

It is bolievod that the greatest aohioyement in tho way of telephonio communication is that of the telephono between New York and Chicago. By ' this medium audible converse is held between two persons standing just one thousand miles apart. Europo has not yet como up to much more than one half this distance. Tho telephone betwoou Paris and Marseilles covers miles, which is a long v ay Bhorb of tho New York and Chicago. We regret to hear that Mr P Dickson ol tho Wholesale Drapery Compauy' met with a very nasty accident last night, while assisting to decorato the Drill Hall for tho coming Mnsonio ball. It appears that Mr Dixon had mounted a ladder for tho purpose of arranging somo evergreens, when tho ladder Blipped from under him, and he fell heavily to tho ground, dislocating lub right Bhoulder. Dr Hosking, who was immediately in attendance, states that it will bo a week o.r ten days beforo Mr Dkon wjll be able to leave his residence.

The last of a series of winter enter- , taimnents on behalf of the Carterton Presbytorlan Ohuich fund was given last night by the Eev, Chas Murray, MA, which consisted in a lecture on the " Now Hebrides," the lives and customs of tho natives of thoso islands. Tho Rev. lecturer plainly Bhowcd that there would [ bo nothing gained by an annexation with those islands, tho only product for> pay- ' able exportation being cobra and even that was not, according to tho lecturer's knowledgo of tho risk of like and health, , worth tho candlo. Tho lecturer landed on these islands in April of 1885, with his wife, where he lost her and after toiling amongst the natives for some time ' he was obliged to leayo on account of bad health. Tho only animals on the Islands were pigs and rats, which were both eaten as food, the pig being thought so \ much of that whon a man wished to , obtain the consont to won a young woman ho had to buy her by presenting a pig to his intended fathor in law, and wliooyer could kill tho most pigs was ' considered tho greatest chief, Tin islands abound with all kinds of fruits,'but tho olim'ate y&t very unhealthy, being vory hot.'
