It is not often that Bohool Committees are tiip recipients of private favours (says the Standard) beyond perhaps assistance at tho regular School eoucert. Mr John Biuwill, of To Matre, has set a very laudable example to others of our influontial neighbours by asking a dountion of £5 to tbp fuods at the disposal ol tho Kaiwaiwai School Comtaitteo. The Kift was quite spontaneous on the psrfc of the donor, and came as a complete and peasant surprise to the Committee. A piano wan boUfjhfc by her parents for a little girl at Budapest. When it arrived she haj no sooner touched the keys that an explosion occurred, the child being severely injured. It was discovered thai, a bomb had been plaood inside the instrument. An attempt Was made to break -into the premises of Mr Hodges, stationer and fancy geous dealer of £kelahuna, at an early hour last Sunday morning. Mrs Hodges heard a nnise 5n the shop, and woke Mr jETodgeSj who arming himself with a revolver, vent in the direction of the Eauud. The robbers, however, must have heard his aDproach, for they decamped, and Mr Bodges being in his night clothes, was .unable so giva chase. The police have the matter in hand.

Messrs John Graham and *Jo, of Masterton, notify thai they stock a new grooved axe, known as " Black's Patent" the invention of an olo: New Zaaland'er new residing in Australia. The New Zealand Times of April 12th says : This axe has Rained a great reputation in the great Champion Matches in Australia, some of which are for £IOO aside. Mr Thomas .Brain, th<s champion of [Victoria, won his matches with ease with this axe. The axe, which is only lately (out from America, arrived too late for the Tasinanian matches, but Mr J. M. Marshall, the champion axeman now uses it and pronounces it the best in the market." We understand that owing to the Australian demand, 1 there is at present only a limited supply in this Colony.

Some people think it creditable, eni to their honor to. rob tradcamen, and, as an instance tJf this, a story is told of the French poet] Saint Joix, who, in apite of his large income, *u always in debt. One day this Jeremy Duller sat at a barber's waiting to be shaved. He was lathered, when the door opened, and a tradesman entered who happened to be \ one of the poet's largest creditors. No sooner did this man see Saint Joix than: he angrily demanded his money. The poet composedly beigjed him not to make ;a scene. "Wont you wait for the money until I am shaved ?" "Certainly," said the other, pleased at the prospect. Saint Foil then made the barber a witness of the agreement, and immediately took a towel, wiped the lather from his face, and left the shop. Ho wore a beard to the end of his days; He thus saved the cost of shaving and swindled hi« creditor with neatness and despatch."

An Or.maru man writ* to the North Otago Tinies complaining of the local pries of bread, which is 6d per 41b loaf. He emit to Dunedin for bread, and got a parcel which, wiih carriage, cost only 4d per 41b loaf. He blames the millers for keeping up an esoeesire price locally for floor.

The Manawatu Herald of Saturday says:—The School Inspectors few days ago arrived in town—not to cu»e, bnt —to examine the school, and remained, potto pats, bat to blew the children, as irv his wport to the lia asserts that* the manners oEthe children i?®re very pleasing.* "What can parents want more,than this? When they call to that 'mjney makes the man, bat manpaw tho gentleman.' Wo thank the inspector lor the great compliment paid to the instruction given. The Bon Marche is to the Wairorapa what the eun is to the solar system—its principal light. Wherever yon go too hear of Hooper and Company and thblt universal store. People lining in the north, south, ! east and west go there as naturally as ducks j take to water I People furnishing flv to! Jhem on wings of expectation io feast on 1 bargains such as nowhere else conld they hope to get! They do the business well I They do it economically 1 They do it to the satisfaction of those who favour them with their orders! Fashionable ladies are amongst their most valued patrons. They visit the Bon Marcho in shoals. Hooper said Company cater specially for them. They show them everything new ! They place tho latest of fashion's fads before them ! They offer chem tho choicest and newest, and consequently are considered their best mends! Business men patronise them because they know bj business instinct that they are business people who do business in a. oußmeEs way. And they teU there wives and daughters all about it, and advise them for their own benefit and the benefit of the family purse to do the whole of their shopping at Hooper's Bon Marche. Young ladies i i onr , They like to roam about and loos at this and that, and spy oat this new thing and that beautiful novelty and then for ribbon laces and gloves. Why they all swear {as hares swear, c! course, in language of their own) there's no place like it.
