The report of the Cambridge Road Board inoeting and other reports are unavoidably held over till next issue. No trace has been discovered of Gaspnrini.

According to statute the whole of the members of the Raglan County O)uncil, since the Act was adopte 1, retire from office. By a notice in this issue it will bo -seen that the new elections will take place in September. Our report of the Cambridge Hamilton football match is crowded out. The home team won by a goal from the field to nil, after some capital play on both sides. Our Wellington correspondent states :—I understand the Hon. Mr Larnach has intimated to the Rev. Father Giuaty his intention of contributing to the building fund of the Magdalein Asylum at Mount Magdala, Christchurch, the full amount of his honorarium for the present session. A native tangi is being held near Whatawhata, over a young woman, grand-daughter of the well-known chief, Mohi To Rangomoma. A large)contingent of natives came from Wuitetuna on Saturday, firing guns, etc., their heads dressed with leaves and flowers from the bush. They looked very picturesque, and more in accordance with their ancient customs. To the Editor: Sir,—Kindly permit me to correct a slight inaccuracy which occurred in your report of the treeplanting operations on the Lake Reserve. The credit of supplying refreshments to the children is given to Airs Coates, Mrs Biggs and others ; whereas, to the Mayoress (Mrs Coates) alone the honour is due.— Yours truly, Fkkd. GaudiN. The following decree of the Sydney Plenary Council has been approved of by the Roman Catholic Synod in Auckland and is to be enforced. "All parents who neglect to impart to their children the necessary Christian training and education, or allow them to frequent such schools in which it is impossible to hinder thfiir spiritual ruin ; or all those who, notwithstanding the existence in their neighbourhood of a competent Catholic school, suitably furnishod and fitted ; or, again, those who, although they have the means of giving their children a Catholic education elsewhere, nevertheless send them to the public schools without sufficient reason, or the necessary precautions to take away all danger of perversion; such as these cannot, if they obstinately persist in doing so, be absolved in the sacrament of penance, as is clear from the teaching of Catholic theology." An accident chat might have been attended with more serious results, happened on Saturday afternoon last, about two p.m. A horse and dray of Mr T. Medland's, of Hamilton, was standing on tho road near the Hanson West station, as the traiu came *WKk and frightened the animal, when he bolted up Victoriastreet at a terrible rate, running from one side of the road to the other, narrowly escaping being U|>-;et several times. The horse increased his speed as he came along the road, and when turning Cullingwoodstreet, caught the wheel against the kerbing of the footpath, and turned the dray right over, throwing the horse on its back into the gutter. A crowd of people was very soon on the scene, and they succeoded in getting the animal on its legs again, and found that, aftor turning over the dray, the only damage done was a few breakages done to the harness. It was very fortunate that there was nobody in the dray at the time, as they would probably have received serious injuries.

Tiie entertainment given by the school children, in the Public Hall, Ohaupo en Thursday evening, was a decided success. The Maypole dance in costume, went without a hitch. A second dance by another set later in the evening, was slightly marred by one lad getting out of place. The songs by the three Misses Graham, were well and spiritedly rendered. The duet, " Whese are you going my Pretty Maid," by Master J. Graham, and Miss Dolly Millars, was quite a treat, and those sung by the children in company, shewed that considerable pains had been bestowed upon them hy thoir teacher, Miss Krippner, who was the originator of the affair, and >vho is deserving of praise for carrying it to a successful issue. In Oheron the get up was really first class Master C. Kiwibs, as Bottom, which he undertook at very short notice, was excellent, while Master Delaney did very well as Quince. A-= Oberon, Master A. Edwards' dressing and renderim; was very good. While Miss Agnes Kripuner, as Quoen, carried out hev part very nicely, and the tour little fairies looked just lovely. .Miss Empen's playing of the accompaniments, also left nothing to be desired. The nett proceeds, about five pounds, goes t» form a school library. After a dance by all the children, their cousins, uncles, and aunts took the floor, and danced merrily till the small hours.
