Tub crime of murder is Tuf. so rare, that when it to Chime does occur in a com- j a of mtinity, it seoms like a Murder. " bolt from the blue," and creates a general eling of consternation, as well as D 1 itcstation. In a town like Master■n, a gravo offence of this kind is f£ ilikely to happen more than once a( i fifty years, and its very w mxpectcdiiess adds to its terrors. . is ono of thoso tilings which f, innotbe explained, and cannot be n] denuatecl. Ono man. has gone fi viftly and silently to his dontlt, by 10 bullet of an assassin, and the tl ilprit has to bear the dread penalty w : the law, and possibly the still e orse stings of his own conscience, lion he begins to realizo his guilt, t] h aronot sure that the latter is a ottbegroatesthorror of the tragedy, t __________. a Tho Masterton Town Lands Trustees icet this evening.

The Irish clergy don't believe in saving cycling " all to the laity," and nany reverend gentlemen of all dcnoninalions, are practical cyclists. During the civil case of A. J. Sommer;i!le p. A. Herbert, at Maslci'ton yeslerhiy, when Sommerville was called upon o give evidence, he walked into the irisoiicr's dock instead of the witness' )ox. A strange coincidence, truly! The tragedy in Queen-street, yesterlay afternoon, caused a profound sensaion, and up till a late hour, little knots if men were standing about discussing he dreadful all'air. A gentleman in France attended the ircinntion of his brother, and when reuriiing by rail, with the ashes of his •dative in an urn, placed in a porlmancan, deposited the same in a cloak 'iioui for a short time. When calling 'or the portmanteau, Hie altcndani bund that it was missing. The bereaved jrolher is suing the rail way company for lamages, but there is a dilHeully in leciding what is the money value of i deceased brother's ashes. Mr S. G. Hartford, draper of Mnslor:on, who purchased the slock of boots and ihoes in the assigned estate of C. S. Walker, has removed the goods to his premises in Queen Street, where he will hold a clearing sale for fourteen days.

Goodman, of Motucka, Nelson, applied for a dissolution of his marriage with Emily Goodman, on the ground of adultery. The petitioner was represented by Mr W. B, Edwards, but there was no appearance of the respondent. Tne petitioner gave evidence that lie was married in Waugaimi in 18/0, and the issue of the marriage was five children, four of whom were still living. He slated that his wife eloped from Auckland in 18S5 with a man mimed Clifford, with whom she was now living.

During tho hearing of a charge of allowing cattle lo slray on to tho railway line, it came out in evidence that the Fcathersloii Town Hoard gave the residents permission lo graze cal-lle on the public thoroughfares within certain hours and seasons. Mr Hutchison S.M. questioned the authority of the Board to make (his concession, and as a mailer of law tlioy have not the power. It is dona for the purpose of keeping the grass eaten down, but we think it would be more economical to keep the grass cut, as the cattle break down (lie bunks of the water tables and damage the roads and footpaths, besides being a nuisance and source of danger, says the Observer. A young woman named Louie Smith was taken to the Wellington Hospital last night seriously burned on various parts of Hie body. She was not able to give any clear 'statement as to how she received the injuries; but one account is lo the effect that a scuffle occurred in the house whero she was living, that of a Chinaman named Lee Chung, in Haining-strcct, and that a kerosene lamp fell or was thrown, with the result that the woman was badly burned. It is stated that some larrikins were trying lo force their way into the house, and that thus the quarrel arose. Drs Parkcs and Young were summoned, aud dressed (he woman's injuries, and she was then taken to the Hospital, She was .suffering greatly from (he burning she received as well as from shock, but is likely lo recover, The police are now investigating the circumstances. Sergeant Shirley, who was passing the locality, informed the doctors of the occurrence. Leo Chung, when questioned, could only say that some larrikins got into tho house, and that in trying to put them out the womamvns knocked down.— N.Z. Times. Emerson says "adaptiveness is the peculiarity of human nature," but this docs not blend with the truth under all circumstances. Take the caso of a man who finds himself a solitary traveller on tho high road with a well seasoned pipe and plenty of lucifers. but minus tobacco. He fumbles in every pocket, searches the crevices of his hat, mildly expostulates with himself, swears audibly, roundly, and with vigour, then as a last resource meekly carries his pipe in his mouth and puffs away at it unconsciously; still he is unable- to adapt himself to his pitiable condition. The wholcsnlo longing for just two whiffs or so, is simply unbearable, and yet ho thoroughly deserves his discomfiture, but no amount of argument could demonstrate to him tho possiblity of human naturo adapting itself under such conditions, Ho longs for Me plu? of New Venus tobacco, and derives consolation tho moment ho is able to blows 'duo curly clouds of smoke,.

Huntsman Welch had ten couples of hounds out, in the pink of condition, and this was proved by the way they led the field.
