THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1886.

Owing to pressure on our space we are c impelled to hold over a large amount of loc.U news, including letter* from' various correspondents, reports of the W.iipa County Council's meeting, and the criminal libel ca^e, all m type. Commander Edwin wired at 1 30 p.m. yesterday : — Indication* weather very cold or frost to night. ' The Easter holidays of the Hamilton East School will only include Good Fii: day'and Easter Monday. Several fresh notifications relat irig to the annual meetings of rate payers and the election of road board member* apfHfar in onr advertising columns to-day. *~ The usual fortnightly sitting of the R.M. Court, Hamilton, was held yesterday, before Mr Northcroft, R.M. Two inebriate! were fined in the usual amounts, and a few unimportant civil casei were disposed of. Mr W. J. Hunter and Co., held their usual monthly horse sale at the Commercial Hotel yards, Hamilton, ye»terday. There wut a large attendance, and about fifty horses were entered and sold at fair rates. This sale u increasing in popularity month by month. The many friends of Mr jr. MMurray, the respected head teacher of the ' Hamilton West School will regret to hear that that gentleman's brother wai amongst those ; passengers by the ill-fated^ steamer Taiaroa who were drowned.". , The deceased gentleman shipped at Nelson with other*,! whose names were not included in the j list telegraphed to vis on Monday night. Persons having washing hanging out are warned of the proclivities of a young black bovine supposed to be the property of a young hopeful in Colhngwood street. Yesterday this animal break fa .>> ted on a child's linen dress at a neighbour's, had for its mid-day repast a damask tablp- , cloth, and wound up the day's gastnmomical operations with » light supper of bed linen. The following special messages to the Press Association, dated London, April 12th, have been published :— The Tariff Committee of the United Stales Congress recommend that, wool should be allowed to be imported into the States free of duty. — It is reported that Signor Depretw, President of the Italian Council, has resigned. — Matterson refuses to make any concessions in the sculling matches. The usual monthly meeting of the Cambridge' District School Committee was held on Tuesday evening, when the only important matter brought forward for dimension, was the request of the Hautnpu committee to have their district extended, tho boundary line to tho road running through sections 174 and 171 and 0 ana ,7, thence in a direct line to the river. This was acceded to'and instrcutions given for a letter to that effect to be forwarded to the head oflice in Auckland. On Tuesday evening last Mr John Odium, of Hamilton, let one of his 'setter dogs off the chain for a run, and a> it, did not return home at night, started tb look for it yesterday* After some hours of fruitless starch ho discovered the dog dead at Frankton, havme been shot. The shooting of a valuable sporting dog like Mr Odium's is a dastardly act, and it is to be hoped that the culprit will be punished. The dog was a well-trained and valuable one, aud its death just as the shooting season has set in is a considerable loss to its owner., We believe th& matter h*a been: placed in a solicitor's hands.
