A.d in the estate of the late Dr M'Lennan and W. H, Priestman surgical instruments, drugs, book debts, and personal effects, Mr James (Jibsun, tailor, of Qrejtown, died suddenly at his residence yesterday morning at ten o'clock, of syncope. Deceased was about forty-four years of age, and loaves a widow and atopifamily to mourn hia lost. No inquest will be held, as Dr Bey had beon attending him l previous to bis death, Eie Pahiatua Star asks: Do the business people and property owner* of ' Pahiatua intond to sit quietly by alio all the traffic from the splendid comifcry . tin the eastern slopes of the Puketois is diverted to Danevirkoand EketahunaJ It really seems like it. We are now in. formed on the beat authority that the very best route to this magnificent blook I -of whioh tho iwtural outlet is Pahia* tua-is by way of the Pa Valley Road. This road strikes the Alfredton-Tautane-Danevirke Road two miles north ot alfredtun, and has the advantage of being, comparatively speaking, a level road; while the Alfredton-Eketahuna j route is over very rough hilly country. It is said that the whole of the country to bo opened is to be put into the market * for ordinary soleotion during the next year or two, and the people of Pahiatua should strain evory.' nerve to get the roads into this plaois, Not a great many miles of formation is required to complete the Pa Valley route.

The Catholic Times, referring te our suggestion that, some sensible colonist should be licensed to shoot every exponent of a novolland tenure, says:is Coleman Phillips is an authority on land tenures, He has had recent experience, so to speak. GaveWrinl frj., plowing form of luuaoy by whioh bjto' depends from the father to all his sohK equal portions, and the land of a brothel? who dies without issue, descends in equal portions to ■ his. brothers. • Gavel-kind still obtains in Kont (Bng,), and Mr Ooleman Phillips desires,it to obtain here for a thousand years from date, by which time it is to be hoped he will be quite .' dead, and there will be ho occasion to omploy the homioidal methods more thftn hinted at by nnr contemporary. l There lived in a village in England a rich though, ignorant man,' He'-had a daughter who was also ignorant; but who was in her own estimation wise. She undertook to'teach her lather manners, and began by informing him that he should always say aftor a remark or speech, "present company alwayi excepted," as it sounded grand. At ' the asnual ball they gave he went out for a short time, and upon returning was asked by his daughter where he had been. He replied, " I have been over to 'ave a look at Parmer Dobsoh'i pigs, and they be the finest I<.. o pigs I ever seed, present oompany always exoopted," It is needless to state that the" present company" soon became " absent company." Our Pahiatua contemporary Jjftes that the poisoning case haa boqjHf&ry badly handled by the police Tlayi there was certainly a large amount of evidence that ought to have been led by the authorities whioh was completely ignored. In the first place tho condition of the duly qualified medical man who came from. Woodtillo on the Sunday night (27th) was altogether overlooked, although it was perfectly well known to those conducting the owe, The faet also that Dr Milne went home to Wood* villa without seeing the Bidds and letting thorn know that the Bymptoim developed wereihoaeof arsenical poisoning, were ** also overlooked, probably on the principle that no ono likes to throw oold water en a drowns rat; but considerations of this kind should on no account have been allowed to influence the Police. The objeot ol the enquiry was if possible to get at the bottom of the mystery, and this should have been done without respoot of persons, Tho Summer Sale, commencing on • Saturday, January 30th, and intended lor the dispoaal of the balance of tho Season's Stock, promises to be ono of the moat successful ever held at Te Aro Hoaie, Welling, t0n.... The Summer Rale will presentljjb all visitors a wonderful array ofbarMfljfcall. departments. We do not beliefs! the 4 polioy of carrying over joods from one season to another. We would rather clear them ottt ovory season. .■ Hence the reason for the unmistakable bargains that will be affiled at the Summer Sale, Te Aro Home 1 Wellington; The Summer Sale offers substantial reasons why country residents should pay an early visit to To Aro Houso, By so 'do« ing, they would have an opportunity of purchasing Bomo of the greatest bargains over heard otin the drapery trade in New Zealand.
