Detective Herbert is still in Pahiatua, The usual Sunday 'drunk' was treated by the Mastertiii R,M. this morning. Mr W. H. Herbert has been appointed Government meteorologist at Eketahuna. A daring attempt at burglary was made at Bketahuoa on Saturday night last A corner of tho vtlica window of Mr H. Aulin's (.tore was broken and the glaja removed by a knife or other sharp instrument, The window was opened, and an effort made to gain an entrance. The burglar must, however, have been disturbed in his work, for although there are indications that he got incide, tho safe was found intact and so far no goods havo been missed. The matter is in the hands of the police. Mr Frederick H. Viie, third son of Mr dob Vila, of Pahiatua, was on Saturday Inst married to Mits CarolineOhampion, daughter of the late Mr Jeo. Champion, of Pabautanui. The ceremony was performed in the Methodist Gburch at Pahiatua by the Rov. Mr Penney, of Woodville, in the presence of a large number of residents, Miss Boon, of Johnsonville,-was bridesmaid, and Mr, 1 Arthur Vile, of Mastorton, groomsman. Mr aud Mrs Vile loft for Napier on their honeymoon trip by the afternoon train. One of the men recently sent up to the Tiraumea for road work by the Wellington labour Bureau is reported to bo possessed of considerable property in the South Island. He recently acquired a seclion in tho Pukotois from the Government, and on his arrival at Kketahuna took the usual affidavit before a Justice of the Peace as to the extent and nature of his possessions, Comment is needless.

There is a great demand for cattle in tho Forty-Mile Busb, Tho dairy industry is assuming large proportions and to this fact no doubt tho present demand is attributable, At Pahiatua on Saturday last Mr Joseph lorns disposed of about forty head of milch cows at prices ranging from £6 to £B, Thn tine wontber for the past few days has gladdened the hearts of the settlers in the Forty-Mile Bush. The grass had become so scarce through the severity of last month that stock was in poor con< dition and many had to Bell to protect themselves against heavy losses. The green blade has now commenced to spring, and with a few warm days there will be an abundance of fodder.

The only places of business in Pahiatua which keep ppen oftor six o'clock at pight are the bootmakers' shops, It is in thopublio interest that these establishments do not close, The maip street is three chamß in width, and tho mud in parts is a couple of feet in dejith. It Is therefore necessary that residents losing the coverings to their pedal appendages in passing froip one side o r the street to the nther should have an opportunity of replacing them, Mr Alex. Humphrey writes to the Timaru Herald as follows" As you are doubtless aware the Government Agricultural Department (live stock branch) have lately distributed very liberally a pamphlet on the treatment of sbeep for worms, etc. It will bo sufficient for my purpose to say that in my humble opinion the doseß prescribed are far too large by about one-half at least, and wpufd kill jthe sheep, This has, it Ib said, already taken place ip Otago. I refer tp the dose of one to' three teaspoonfu)s of nijlk and Bpirifa of terpen, tine for a Jamb. lap swpngly'impfpjeejJ with tho belief that the Government dose for lung worm is much more liberal than their so-called, liberal policy, but will leave the subject to abler hands, whoso names are legion in this district."

A somewhat rare occurrence in the way of second sight is reported of Mr Douglu, settler, on the South Road (says tjie Hawera Star), For a nunibor of years tho old Mritlejuait could iiot get through his reading without the'aid of spectacles. Now; however, though bor. derniK, we believe,on eighty-seven years, and known as the oldest settler in the district, he can read small print quite well and does not require to use glasses. Th'is may well bo termed second sight.'

The roads in the Forty-Mile Bush under the control of the Wairarapa North County Council are in neei" of repair. The main line between Eketabuna and Pahiatua is particularly heavy,, and the expenditure of a considerable Bum of money will be necessitated to place it in decent order.

The road to Makuri is in a dreadful condition, and tbe settlers of that district find it a difficult matter to get out provisions. The slip, which impeded traffic tor some days, has been removed.

'lt is expected that'the bridle track betweon Pahiatua and Pahnerston North will be completed in a few days. Parliament will no doubt be appealed to at an early date to construct a road between these two important centres. Tho railway worksbetween Ekstahuna and Pahiatua are progressing very slowly. At the present rate it will be ten years before the line will be completed. Pigeons are now vory plentiful , ; n the bush country around Masterton, and are in the best of condition. 'We hear of une Sunday sport who bagged no lesß i than twenty-five yesterday,

Settlement in the Forty-Mile Bueh is progressing at an almost inconceivable rate. The fertile country which a few years since was a barren forest is now cut up iuto small areas and is occupied by huudreds of settlers. The work of denudation still continues and thousands of acres of bush aro to bo fulled this year. On every hand the tigns of prosperity exist, and before another decade has passed tho bush will be the home of many industrious settlers, At the present time tbe dairy industry is engaging the attention of farmers, and bids fair to become of great valno to the district.
