Ohtistohutoh Truth draws attention to the fact thatthe notorious Worthington's name still remains on tho list of peraona authorised to solemnise marriages, Sir Patrick' Buckley will probably join Lady Buckley in Europe for a holiday during the next recess. St James' Gazette says that unless the Australian oricketers speedily show a decided improvement m form, the tour is likely to be a failure from tho purely sporting standpoint. Tho team seems to have fallen off. The many friends of Sir Julius Vogel will rejoice to hear that he has fully recovered the use of his limbs. Ue is now able to walk about freely, acd his general health is excellent,- Post. To-day is the 56th anniversary of the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne, "Theonly Jones, of Oaraaru," writes as follows:—"A lady who recovered a lost puise, by advertising through tho columns of the Wairarapa Daily, was so overcome with astonishment that sho asked the paper ,to ' Express her opinion that the people of the neighbourhood are honest,' This is'.a rathor doubtful compliment at beat, but, perhaps the lady was i stranger in tho laud and had imbibed her notions of the mannors and oustoms of the' Wairarapaites' from a perusal of the Daily, in which cise her doubts were excusable." Pour old Jones, oitinot he do better than this? ; He will be interested to learn that tho ioser of the purse was an " Oamaru" ladyl There is some doubt whether a certain newspaper in this neighborhood means to support Mr Pownall or Mr Hogg at tho coming general election, it evidently finds a difficulty in coming to a decision, and wisely refrains from ail comment on Mr Hogg s recent politicd address. The annivorsaty of the Wesleyan Church, Greytown, will bo celebrated on Thursday next, when, instead of the usual t> a meeting, a coffee supper will be held, and the public meeting will be replaced by music and singing, and some splendid tttagio lantern views of Fijianscenery,bytheHev.

Messrs Fairfax, following the example of the Melbourne Argus, are about to reduce the price of the Sydney Morning Herald to Id. Says Monday's Standard:—Wo learn by telegraph from Festtliersto* this morning that a man brought up for using obEcene language Was sentenced by Mr W. Oundy.J.P., to six months'imprisonment, The sentence is a pretty stiff one but is probably justified by the particulars of the case, which are not yet in our hands. Wairarapa Justices are not inclined to " holi ni candle to tho 'devil" by absurdly light sentences, and ire believe they are right,, A few uioro sentences of this kind and the wholesale dread of the law thus inculcated will be found to' make such offences a minus quantity In this district, In his evidence before the Committee of the House of Lords, Mr Black, of Queensland, saidiit was difficult to detect the difference between Australian frozen mutton and American chilled meat. Prince Alfred, eldest son of the Duke of Edinburgh, has recovered from his attack of scarlet fover, There is now beiug carried on in Wellington an industiy.of special interest, and that 1b the manufacture of dour-matn of a style and qual'ly superior to' any which have been previously seen in New Zealand. We have ourselves noticed in front of some of the banking institutions and other public offices in the Empire (Jity, rrats of exceptionally clover workmanship; bearing in most cases a monogram or initial letters woven in by tho use of coloured etranda. ■ 'ibeEo fiiio specimens of handiwork we have since ascertained we're the product of Messrs Ben Banks and Co., coir-mat attd matting manufacturers, ef Cambridge Terrace, and as a result of the approval gained as son as their well-made and handsome mats came before the eye of the public, orders have flown in upon the firm, Already they have exeoutod cxtons\ve commissions for the Govern* ment, theU.S.S, 00., N. Z. Railways, Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company, tho Insurance Offices, the Clubs, and many other publio and pri vite establishments, and still work keeps pouring in. Messrs Danks and Co's latest exercise of ingenuity and skill, is tho introduction of a new patent grooved door-nwt, whereof particulars are given incur advortiaiug columns, and which is practically mac and scraper inonc, brushing both the soles ard the aides of the boots, while yot being easily kept clean and free from clogging, This special mat, which is both inexpensive and good, as well as any of tho other styles manufactured by the firm, may be ordered through any of the principal storekeepers in this district, To Ulster Buyers and Buors of Ulsters I They, that is Hooper and Co., hare just, opened 14 cases of Ladies and Children's Ulsters and Jackets, of every shape, kind, and material, The prices are extremely low and it is their intentontioa to moke tho trade in this line hum. Thoy won't quote prices because such a plan is delusive in the eitreme to say an Ulster (and when we say Ulßterwemeana ladies Ulster) of a certain shape is offered at a certain price, is no evidence of excellence. Indeed, the statement may and sometimes does carry with it condemnatory proof ef the most convincing kind. An Ulster quoted at 10s 9d may be only worth hall as much, Besides, buyers know too well the cost to need the assistance of a price list. It is tbusly you wast an Ulster. .You've a pound or two to spend or maybeitisonlyhalfasmuoh, or possibly less 1.

The occasion of this genuine clearing sale is a dissolution of the existing partnership,and as everything has to be sold, eyen the latest shipments of winter goods have bpen thrown in at marvellously low prices.. Despite the fact that the onslaught of thepublio has been of an overwhelming character, Messrs Warnock, Kelly and Adkin have still X 20,000 worth'of stock to dispose of—some of it, indeed, just opened up-and they specially invite residents in the Wairarapa to visit their warehouse on Lambton Quay and partake ot the bargains to be met with.
