North County Council Hint the valuation list for llie County is now open for inspection, Some highly-colored reports have 1 been circulated to the cited that a number of young men robbed and annoyed a Masterton Chinaman on Saturday night. From what we can gather there is very . little in it, ami the whole business is likely to end in smoke. The police are of opinion, after investigation, that there is absolutely no case, and that the Chinaman in question labouring under some excitement, probably made statements which cannot be substantiated. There is no better bicycle in the . market at the present day than the l s '• Star " machine, for which Mr S. E. [. Wright, Liinibton Quay, Wellington, is j[ the agent.

It was d just as bad a case of attempted fraud on creditors as he (Mr Justice Richmond) lo had ever heard. Anderson's conduct a. was the kind of tlr.ng which a man sometimes got two or three years for. re The Assignee pointed out that the , debtor had escaped on a technicality. J" His Honor struck out the application. Messrs J. Graham & Co., merchants, of Jlasterton, announce the arrival of a 1, direct shipment of seeds, purchased ami r- specially selected to their order from the >f best English seed bouses.

The woman presented a ' dreadful'appearance, her face being cut, ; swollen and disfigured to an alarming ' extent.

One of the queerest companies recently started is (hat formod to breed black cats upon an island in the Puget Sound. A large profit is expected from the skins. There is a novel and pleasing cure for rheumatism in the form of bee-stings.
