The annual examination of the Grey* town school, held by Mr Flemintr, was finished yesterday morning, the result being a very good percentage of passes. The school has closed for the remainder of the week.

A pleasing little ceremony was per* formed on Wednesday last by the Ke T. W. Bowse, when Annie, daughter of Sir John Judd, farmer, of Grey town, and Walter James Udy.farmer, of Carterton, were united in the bonds of matrinony at the residence of the bride's father.

The ehildren of Maaterton are to be .**V given a treat to-morrow afternoon and evening in the shape of a lantern exhibition. Robinson's " Mirror of the World," comprising one hundred realistic views of famous cities, and the magnificent scenery in the world, will brr exhibited at 2.80 p.m and 8 p,m, in the Theatre Reyal.

The residents of a certain neighbor* hood of Maßterton have been considerably alarmed during the past few by the eccentric onducfc of an individual who is alleged to be suffering from •> mental derangement. The unfortunate i* said to have been iu possession ot firearms and to have discharged them in* discriminately.besides causing anxiety to his friends in other directions. As tk« police are powerless to interfere union the individual becomes actually violent, or is not under proper control, the friends of the unfortunate should take immediate steps to ensure the safety of the public.

Judging from his success in musical circles in Wellington, and also by the opinion of several in Masterton who have heard him, Mr J. W. Eilner, the " heavy " man of the Trehair-Oaborae Concert Company, must possess a far from common-place voice. We have heard some raoßt enthusiastic piaise of his singing. He is said to have the somewhat rare qualification of a pure bass voiee, and he revels in the use of it. Baritones of various degrees and of differing merit exist almost anywhere in plenty, bmt it is seldom we come across a true base voice of comprehensive range and any* thin? like volume. Mr Kilner's inter* pretntion of some of the standard and popular basso songs is, we believe, exceptionally fine, and when he "let* himself out" lie can fill m hall with melody, without any one whit taking liberties with the music. His voice production and method are both good, faots which attach credit to Miss Trehair-Osborne'a experienced tuition at an early stag* a Mr Kilneris well-known bothin\y eiand in the Wairarapa as a foo>* M ]i er encketer, and athletic man of considerable pro* ess, while in the nr aßicm i wor ld he has become equall- p rominent Recently he took a solo. ti \ a ~ loUuv^, in '• The Yeoraar. 0 ? fche Guard," under rehearsal ' in Wellington.

,-,A mee D t 8 was held the other night iu the schoolroom at Ba u nnco Settle , ment discuss dairying and the best mea' J8 0 f disposing of the butter th<»t it to be made during the present season. There were, according to the Pahiatua paper, about a dozen settlers present, including Mr Greville, travelling correspondent and canvasser for the Jf. W.Z. Mail. Mr Grevillo addressed tho *" meeting in an able and interesting manner, fle atrdngly advocated theme of the separator eithor in privatedames of 10 or more cows, or publicly at some centre where the milk could eaiily be brought. He also urged settlers to combintd action, and advised cleanliness end care in all dairy wort. He euve some initructive advice as to churnng, saltinsj, and packing butter for export to the London market. It wa* most important that the butter should be of uniform quality, and put up in boxes recommended by Mr Saweie. Theso boxes could be obtainti at the New Plymouth Woodware Factory at from Is to ls6d each, to hold 661b*. Parchment could also be obtained at a reasonable cest to cover the inside of each box prior to packing the butter. He also gave some useful hints on the making of ensil,«e, and montioned Mr Jj'itchett, near Wellini<ton, who had been very successful in the production of this most useful article of fodder. Mr Greville finished a most instructive pddress by reading a letter from Mr Herbert Chester, produce merchant,. Wellington, whowrs prepared to giveCJd to 7d per lb for good butter properlypacked and delivered in Wellington, or he would ship the butter Home an*, charge £l4 per £ICO worth of butter,, shippers to pay insurance and raik freight besides.

Two fine trout, weighing together twelve pounds, were landed from the Waingawa yesterday by Mr Gaut, of Masterton.

Mr John Rayner, of the Taratahi, is expected to return from England within a few days. He brings with him Lincoln, Cotswold, and Southdown sheep, which will be of value in improving local breed. Owing to the existing quarantine will not be available for this season's shows.

Mr A. W. Hogg, the esteemed representative for Masterton, is referred to thualy by the Catholic Times : Among the lesser eo-called " Labor Members " who are not handworkers is the member for Masterton, with the euphonious name of Hogg. Mr Hogg has much of Mr Fish's awful loquacity and all Mr Fish's assurance, bnt he has not one tithe of that gentleman's undoubted parliamentary experience, knowledge and resource. Mr Hogg's political creed appears, if we may judge him from his speeches, admirably simple inasmuch as it seems to be antagonism to every person who has in re wealth, culture, or brains than Mr Hogg. As quite a number are fortunate enough to excel Mr itpeg in these little matters, it follows thaMhe is in antagonism to a of his countrymen. Mr remarkably fine lungs and a not very musical voice ; the stores or knowledge on' all political and economic matters possessed by Mr Hojhj may be very large indeed, but the fact is not discerned in his speeches. In those speeches there is a wonderful lack of variety, so much so that when yon hear the Masterton orator in one oration you practically hear him in all. The House quickly recognised this great truth and, when Mr Hogg rose to inflict his one rather moth-eaten idea upon the Parliament of his country, filtered out into the lobbies with speed and unanimity. As a mob orator Mr Hogg may possibly be effective, but when educated Young New Zealand begins to take a serious interest in politics—which by the way. it has not yet done—the political occupation of such very common-place agitators as Mj: Hogg will be gone.
