It is to be hoped that wo won't have any [ of our strong winds to blow the frame down before it is properly secured,

On Wednesday last Mr Waltor Feast, of Kaiwaiwai, was married to Miss Louie Gazely. The Rev Mr Grace performed the ceremony.

The station masters have been notified by tho Railway Department that they are to enforce by-law No 14, which says that no person shall alight from, or get upon a train whilst in motion.

A young man named Barker put up at Seail's hotel. He borrowed a horse saddle and bridle from the livery stables, and as he did not return" to time the matter was placed in the hands of the police, who found the animal in a paddock of Mr Hebley's at Greytown. But Mr Hebley's horse was gone, and so was Mr Soarle's saddle and bridle. The young man would not be very hard to identify, A swagger the worse for liquor lay down by Hunter's crossing yesterday. He went to sleep und had a narrow escape of being caught by the train, as bis feet wero almost touching tho rails.
