FEATHERSTON NOTES.

(From Our Uwn Correspondent), Yesterday afternoon as a horse and trap bolonging to Mr F. Hiloy, of ; Tauhereuikau, was being driven down | Fitzharbert St., the ho'wo started ; globing; afti-r a while the driver managed to get it to go on properly till it turned round into Vile St. Here it stirtnd gibbing in earnest, and going through many unties at last managed to break the traces mid ov-rturii the trap breaking one of tho slmfis in so doing, The driver escaped unhurt, and strange to say so did tho cargo of bottled beer, not a bottle lieing broken.

The case of Searlo v, Connell for £4 Bs,the claim being for money lent, was adjourned yesterday for a fortnight.

Yesterday morning's firo has set folks tnlking once moro of tho wank of some sort of fire brigade, and I certainly see no reason why then' should not lie some sort of brigade or salvage corps formed. 1 believe that many could bo got to join, and there are swornl joung fellows who have been in other b'igades, so something may yet be done.

The S.U Oiiuri presHils an extraordinary spectacle at times, For instance, yesterday, on a sort of dan was the Bonch-a small table und form—the Bench lining supported on the right by a piano, and on tlw left a harmonium, llw latter used in a rep.irier's desk, the body of tho hall all forms, and not a table of any sort fot the legal fraternity. It is noirly time something was dono aliom, llvi erection of a Court I House.

I understand ihat the Companions of tho Wuirarapa Royal Arch Chapter have convened a meeting to ba held in the Masonic Hell, Greytown, on the 20th inst, to bid firewell to tho Her W. E. Paige, who is a prominent member of the order and one very much esteemed and respected.

There is a feeling hero that the S.M. let tbe boy Andorson off very lightly for using obscene language outside St Gec.rge'g Hall on Friday night, The habit of using bad language, which is becoming very common with Ihn rising generation 'wanis putting down with a firm hand.
