The custodian of the Masterton Library informs us that periodicals and papers are still systematically removed from the public reading room. For the benefit of tho pilferers we may state that at the Liverpool Police Court recently a tradesman—a man in business on his own account in Rfmpaton street and with a private residence at Tuebrook—was charged with "haviug feloniously stolen and taken away a piece of paper, to wit a portion of the .MancJtdcr Guartitan." Tho defendant was deteoted in tlio act ot cutting an advertisement out of th* Manchester Guardian, and taking it away with.him,. Tho Magistrate warned him that this wsb au offence for which he could bo sent to prion, and fined him 30j and costs. At one of the Loudon police courts an offender.was much more severely dealt with.

Is this lot to bo debited totho county? The traction engine of Mr A, Fraser, of Masterton, came to grief on tho Taratahi Plain .tho other day, and was considerably smashod about.

From ono end of Now Zealand to the other, large orders are received for this popular brand.
