Since last Christmas the DobsonKennedy Dramatic Company have travelled no IeBS than 3800 miles.

Mr P. Stevens,the civil servant whose summiry dismissal excited so much indignation, has been re-instated.

Three well bred hacks, 4ands years old, are advertised for sale. The Alameda, with Engliah mails of Bth A ugusfc, left 'Frisco for Auckland on 21st-. August, one day late. The Mariposa, with colonial mails of 16th August, arrived at 'Frisco from Auckland on the sth iust., contract date.

The death is announced from Wellington of Mrs Hiddiford, one of the oldest settlors of „he Colony, in her 77th year. A football match played by the Greytown Fire Brigade Club against the Fapawai Rifles was won by the former after a bard game by 17 points to nil. Messrs Lowes & lorns add to their Sale for Wednesday next, 5 3 ft 4 year old bullocks, 8 2 ft 3 year old bullocks, and 8 dairy cows springing, to calve at short dates.

It ia reported by the Advocate that wild dogs are very numerous on the outlying farms in the northern pari of the Kangitikei district. One settler's loss has been so serious that he contemplates selling off the larger portion of his flock As Mrs. T. Hodge, of Morrison's Bush' accompanied by her child, was driving home from Greytown on Friday Ust, the horse she was driving fell. Mrs Hodge was thrown out of the trap, breaking her collar bone and sustaining other injury. Dr, Bey was promptly in attendance.

We regret to record the death of Mr H. O'Connor, of Greytown, which occurred at Wellington on Saturday last Mr O'Connor was one of the oldest settlers of the district. Mr Fergus O'Connor, of Masterton, is a son of the deceased. The remains were brought up to Greytown to-day tor interment. The Premier, in a telegram to the Auckland Liberal Association, expresses a hope that the Waikato seat will be contested in the Liberal interest by a candidate personally acceptable to the electorate.

A Whareama correspondent, who lias sections in the Forty-Mile Tush, writes as follows: "We have commenced bushfelhng on our sections at Makuri, and haye great difficulty in getting men. My brother wrote to me last mail and stated he could not get men to go in there it paid by the week, day, or contract, He says there is no end of work to be done, but no men to do it." The Dobaon-Kennedy Oompany produced " Current Cash" in Greytown on Saturday night last. There was a large and appreciative audience, the performers being frequently called before the curtain. Miss ldrene Thornton was perfection in her part as Grace Milton, the heroine of the piece, whilst Miss Lily Hill was equally successful as Delia Challie. The acting of little Ruby Kennedy was loudly applauded. Miss May Yernoii was also successful in her part. Captain Mark Milton was wellrepresented by Mr Collet Dobson, Mr Kennedy as Lincoln Oreen afforded no end of amusement in his part, being the right man for it. Mr Jermyn played the part of Challis in an exceedingly clever manner, whilst Mr Campbell, as pnvata Bowls, proved himself a rare artist. Mr Frank Thornton as Henry Chafferton took his part splendidly and altogether the audienoe got the worth of their money. Speaking of Mr C. J. S. Palmer who has just joined the Dobson-Kennedy Company for the production of "My Sweetheart," the "Bulletin" says :—"A good man Mr Palmer is; excellent in his art as an actor, and' gifted with a powerful yet unusually sweet tenor voice which has been well cultivated. The part of "Tony Faust," is naturally associated with the r.ame of Charles Arnold to Local Playgoers who, thouch they may not prefer Mr Palmer to Mr Arnold, will be pleased with the former's impersonation of the character and must admit that as a vocalist he far exceeds their ideal "Tony." Our own verdict is, that while the character loses nothing in dramatic treatment from the change of actors it gains considerably from Mr Palmer's exquisite rendering of those pretty airs which form suoh an attractive feature of the piece.

An announcement of intereit to station-holders and sheep farmers appears in our advertising columns today. It refers to Lanpatone's Vermifuge for intestinal parisites in hoggets, and also to a falsamio preparation for the prevention and cure of bronchial para» sites cr lungworm in sheep. Both of these remedies have been repeatedly tested with the most amazing results, among those who have successfully applied them being Mr Charles Tully and the Messrs McLaren os the Lower Valley. Mr Langstone holds certificates from each of these gentlemen, and alio from other prominent run holders in the South Wairarapa. He is equally skilful in his treatment of horses, a fact Mr F. H. Wood and other residents in the district have had proof of in several somewhat critical cases. Mr Langstone has now opened a veterinary pharmaoy in main street, Greytown, opposite Mrs Hastweirs house, and he can be professionally consulted there either personally, by letter, or by telegram. We have been asked whether it is likely that a special late train will be run from Wellington to Masterton on a night during the present opera season. At present we are unable to glye any definite information on the point, but we may say that it is very likely that the management will so arrange with the railway people, for already the attendances at the Opera House have been very large, and that endorsement seems to indicate that the meritorious character . of the entertainment will prove irresistibly attractive to other than Wellington ' people. Several Masterton residents 1 were present on Saturday evening, and 1 they speak in the highest terms of praise ' of the manner in which "La Mascotte " is being performed. There was again a : crowded attendance on the second night, ■ and the audience was enthusiastic in it* commendations. The acting and characteristic by-play of " Rocco," (Master Quealey), for instance, is 3aid tc 1 be a remarkably clever interpretation of the part, while the singing and charming demeanour of Miss Lily Everett, who imparts a depth of feeling into her study of " Betting " (La Mascotte) astonishing in one so young, would be hard to surpass. The general mounting ofth* pieco is also very fine, and the dresses of the children are stated by those who hove Been them to be as pretty as cam be imagined. ' As the niphts are now comparatively warm again, and the weather is nice for travelline, special train facilities, it they are made, should attract a good number qf excursionists. The matter is probably already in hand, but communication with the Railway Department by those desirous of going down, or with Mr L. J, Lchr, Wellington, might expedite the arrangements and lead to an instant announcement of intention. Highwaymen boarded a train in Samuel, Texas, and having exploded a dynamite cartridge in the train plundered the carriages. During the excitement the robbers escaped in the direction of Mexico, and the amount of plunder is not known. James Smith, proprietor of the well* known Te Aro House, Wellington, has for several months past been in the heart oj.tba world's metropolis, London, superintending the"buying for our present spring season at Te Aro'House, lington.It will no doubt be expected by all the readers of this gaper that there will be a most manifest improvement in our shipments, all goods wiJI be 1 bought well, that is Si the lowest cash prices ; that all g°°d ß will be the best of their class and that ajl wiJI be in accord • with the prevailing fasjjjoii® of £l>n gpason.
