Special trains are to be run betweeu Wellington and Eketahuna on St. Patrick's Day. A very suitable building site Bituated in the township of Pahiatua is advertised for sale.

Several sections of bush between Masterton and Pahiatua have been fired and notwithstanding the unfavorable predictions the burns have been fairly good. The sitting of the Wairarapa North County Council yesterday was one of the longest on record, occupying nj less than twelve hour*. Mr. P. H. Wood advertises an important sale of leases of Greytown Trust lands for Saturday, 4th April, and a general pale for the same date. The eldest daughter of the Hon.

There Ins been a haavy fall of snow in the northern part of Kent, and the working of the telegraph and railway lines has been seriously interfered with. At Faversham, opposite the Isle of Sheppey, a train was snowed up all night.

Coaches have been running lately from Eketahuna to Woodville—a distance of 27 miles—for one shilling a passenger.

A preliminary survey is to be made by tho County engineer with a ,iew to obtaining information as to the possibility of procuring a high pressure supply of water from the Waingawa for domestic purpuses.

We would remind our readers that a general meeting of the Pahiatua White Star Football Club will take place at Stewart's jHotel this evening at 8 o'clock. We understand the Eketahuna club is offering them battle on Easter Monday and are already in regular practice. The latter club is making strenuous efforts to recover its lost laurels, and as its team will be supplemented this year by the two Sellings and other old Wellington players we expect to hear o! them this season. It will be remembered that some time aero a petition got up by Mr Kelliher and others praymg for the removal of Constable Roache from Eketahuna, for some imaginary reason, was duly presented by the member for Masterton to the Hon. Mr Seddon, Minister of Justice. After careful enquiry Mr Seddon has intimated that no ulceration will be made, and Constable Roache will therefore continue in oharsre of Eketahuna. By the majority of the residents in the Fcrfcy-mile Bush district this will bp received as good news, for a more courteous, obliging, ai\d at the same time impartial officer it would be difficult to find.
