Greytown was alarmed jstorday by the spectacle of a grey horse madly tearing' jj along Main-street, whereon was perched in an attitude indicative of tho height of despair, a nerveless Chinaman, Ms face white with fear, Even the fastest pace 8 cannot last, and after -travelling in a " Gilpinlike " fashion for a quarter of a ' f mile, tho unhappy Celestial got off his |, excited steed. His dismounting was of rather an abrupt style, and in his hurry he left his foot behind him in tho stirfup. Ho was thus unoomfortabjy 13 dragged by the leg fop tyreo or four 10 yards before the horse became 10 unattached.

We tako the following from th? Australian Itmwowjcr\— "Two' inven tions havo boon patented by residents of Mastortpn that aro likely to bo if great Borvice to farmers and runhqlders —Mr 6, S.

Mr W W M'Oavdle received a telegram on Saturday night last from Captain Eussell stating that ho had boon reappointed a member of the Wellington Waste Land Board.

The annual meeting of tho MastertonOpaki Jockey Club was announced to bo held in the Club Hotel at 8 p.ui on Saturday evening last, but for. obvious reasons tho proceedings wero not commenced till 10 p.m. Mr F H Wood advertises to lot for ono year the residonce recently occupied by the late Dr Smith in Greytown. For some time past the visitations of pilferers to tho poultry yards in this town have been very frcquont, and complaints have reached us from all aidoa of tho oxtreiiiocautionsnessof the marauders in their cholco of poultry. It would appear that the fanciers of prize game are now extending their visits to the country, for on Friday evening about thirty turkeys were " lifted" from a farm on tho Fernridge, Tho perpetrators of this act of vandalism wero within an ace of being captured. It appears that in returning from the farm house on horseback with their spoil they ran "foul" of a resident of tho Upper..Plain, who made an effort to identify them by setting sail after them, Ho found, however, that he was on a '' wild goose" chase, for tho two applied their spurs to thoir hursc3 and were soon out of sight. This game, carried

on as it apparently is by professional marauders, must ho rooro than worth the candlo if the reports whioh have reached us aro anything like true. A man who cannot «ain a livelihood by other moans than this even in these troublous times, must bo chicken-hearted indeed, We commend the matter to tho police,' with the hope - that thoy will hatch out the mystery and bring the culprits to justico if possible
