We regret to hear that Mr Xa-tlmn H'lmnev, of Hukanui, m«t with a sevcirp and, it h feared, a dangerous icciil'vit ynitorrl.-xy, which necessitated his removal to tho Waikato Hospital.

Mr C. Bauch was the successful tenderer for tho erection of a now butcher'a shop in Ohaupo for Mr J. Cassidy. When a business man rinds it necessary to increase the size of his premises, it speaks well tor the proprietor and for the business in which ho is engager]. It is now some six years since Mr Cassidy started butchering in Ohaiipo. Ii; has been a great convenience to the districts round about, and, judging from the above, Mr Cassidy has no cause to regret having settled down in Ohaupo.

About those marvellous carved rocks on the beach at Raglan, a correspondent who resided at Kuglau in the early days writes :—"I am sorry to have to explode the antique theory 'your own' indulged iu a short time since. These wonderful hieroglyphics are kiiowa to be only the marking of tha commencement of an * Aukati' or liouudary line nude by the Maoris somo fifty or sixty years ago. Of course, ' your owu ' did uot know this, but it knocks the bottom out of the romantic part of the business, doesn't it? "

Probably in consequence of the strong representations made by the Wiiikato Farmers' Club, and also by the Mangare Fanners' Club, the H'-n. Mr McKenzio has wired to Mr l< , . Bucklan.l, M.H.H., stating that no reduction will be m-ida in tho number of sheep inspectors inthu Auckland sheet: district.

The Queen has conferred the barter on the Duke of Rutland, formerly Lord John MauniTs.
We once more caution the inhabitants of Cambridge, and the public generally, ngninst driving or riding ov.ir the Waikato and Karapiro bridges at Cambridge at other than a walking pace. We have administered thii caution repeatedly, but apparently it has been totally disregarded, lfowevnr, those who think we have been crying "wolf" when there was no occasion to do so, will, if they continue the practice, find themselves in tiouble, for the Cambridge constable has received instrucMons from the Waipa County Council, who have cliargn of the Waikato bridge, to at, once take proceedings against all Mich olfenders. We understand the constable intends " killing two bird.s with one stone," and while looking out lor offenders, on the Waikato bridee, he also intends to keep an eye oir fhe Karapiro structure, and it is very probable he will "land" someone for the "double event," in which case "the stakes" (to be paid) will amount to a nice little s.mi. Uy-tlie-way, wo should like to see a Maori summoned for riding across the Karapiro bridge nt a furious pace. They often do so, and the case would prove an interesting one, for a portion of the notice which is exhibited on a board in tho Maori lan«iiai:ii rur.s thus :—'• Ka whina kite ture a ka ntua ki ce rima patina"—i.e., shall bo punished by tho law and bo paid £5. Tho Cambridge Borough Council evidently believe in one law for the European and another for the Maori, that is if the notice boards aro correct, for tho former would have to pay £5 while the latter would receive a like amount. As both boards require re-painting, it would be well for the Council to state their intention in better Maori than tho above, or they may bo called upon to pay the £5.
