His Lordship Bishop Cowie intends to Imlil a cunliruiation service at St. .I'ilm's Church, Te Awamutu, on Sunday, June sth. In this issue will be found the dates fur the triennial elections and annual meetings for various road board* throughout the district. The times for the meetings ot of householders in the various school districts in Waikato on Monday, 25th inßt., are notified in another column. We hear that the services ot the Hamilton Bra<s Bind have been engaged to play at the Tauwharo race meeting that takes place on Monday next. Mr D. Salmon being the only candidate nominated for the vacant sent in the Hamilton Borough Council, he was yesterday declared duly elected. On Wednesday evening next the first of a series of parish evenings in connection with S. Peter's Church, Hamilton, will be held in the Public Hill, commencing at 8 pm. The house and acre in Hamilton East, owned and formerly occupied by Hohaia Neahiwi, has lately changed hands, Mesirs Friar, Davies and Co, of Ntraruawahia being the purchasers. There was quite an audience at the monthly meeting ot the Hamilton Borough Council on Tuesday evening. The expected discussion on the Gravel pit and the river walk no doubt was the cause. „ , Ensign Jim Wilson, of the Salvation Army, with the famous lasses' brass and string band, will give a musical evening at Huntly, 21st inst. ; Hamilton LSst, 22nd ; Hamilton West, 2">th ; Cambridge, 23rd and 21th.

On Sunday next (Easter Sunday) divine services will be held at St. John's Church, Te Awamutu, at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. The Rev. J. K. Davis will officiate in the evening. A confirmation class will be held after the service.

We are requested to state that nil who have applied to the Secretary of the Horticultural Show Cambridge for their prizes awarded at the late Show have been paid them, and that any others cau obtain them upon application. Although the notification in last issue referring to the train service during the Easter holidays did not disclose the fact, we notice by the files of the Auckland papers, that on Good Friday the usual train service will be suspended in Waikato. We would call the attention of tho Waipa CV.inty Conncil to a nasty culvert on the HamiltnnOhaupo Road on the Hamilton side of Mr C. Barnes'. The box does not go right across tho road, and there is a daogernus end sticking out ou oue side. Deer must \>e very plentiful in the Tapanui district this season (saya the Ounedin Times). A herd of 40 stags was counted by Mr Steven at Black Gully list Wednesday, while Ranger Burt has seen Rover.il herds. He counted 25 in one lot 1-ist Sunday. The does with young at foot are all over the place. We hear, says the Hawera Star, tlwt the fleece otf the merino ram which took first prize at Wellington Show, and was bred and exhibited by Mr Charles Goulter, of Hawkesbury, Marlborough was sent to Europe. It has since been shown in competition with wool from all parts of the world, taking first prize at London and Paris. This is regarded as a great coup fur New Zealand.

On Monday last the sowing of ?rass seed on the Woodlands estate was just completed. The total tots up to the respectable area of 1800 acres, the whole of which has bean ploughed, principally by contract. This in conjunction with a good proportion of this large area which has been also cleared will Rive some idea of the amount of employment which has been provided on this estate alone during the last few months.

Since Mr Pearson has started his branch manufactory in Sydney f for turning out his patent Carbolic Sund Soap, something like fifteen tons of sund have been sent away from Hamilton. An ever-increasing demand is springing up in the other colonies for this soap, and it may fairly be concluded that as its valuable disinfectant and sanitary properties become morn generally known, ,\ very extensive and lucrative business will bo done by the Sydney branch. At the monthly meeting of the Hamilton Domain Board ou Tuesday evening, there were present Messrs Coatee, (chairman) Salmon, Tippin, Bell, Reid, Slade, Wood, Scott and Sandes. Mr C. G. Ivnox, hon. sec. to the Waikato Cricket Association wrote asking if the Board would agree to close the gates at the corners of the square, as the Association lutend to expend a sum of £15 or £20 in making a cricket ground, where all the principal fixtures may be played. The Chairman and Mr Bel, were appointed a committee to confer with the Cricket Association with reference to a re arrangement of the gates on Sydney Square.

The Secretary's action in postponing the date for receiving the acceptances from Friday to Saturday was approved of and confirmed.

For some time past there has been considerable dissatisfaction among tho suppliers at the Whatawhata Creamery as to the results obtained from the milk supply, and expressions of suspicion as to the unprincipled parties who wore tampering with the milk to tha detriment ot the fellow suppliers were freely given. These having reached Constable Murray, who ha? been appointed, inspector under " The Food Adulteration Act" for Waikato, he proceeded to Whatawhata on Monday morning last, and took samples of the milk brought to the factory by several suppliers. These samples were forwarded to Mr J. A. Pond, Government analyst for analysis, but his report has not yet been made known.

Mr L. W. McGlashan, of Auckland, who is running the " Tarawera Water Boiler " paid a visit to Cambridge the other day, and rather astonished the natives of that town by the ready manner in which he pi-adwced boiling water. He issued a general invitation to Ihe inhabitants to witness a trial of the boiler stating that it would boil water in 35 second", and this startling assertion caused a good number to he present, amongst whomwero not a few sceptics. The trial took place in the yard at the back of Mr Well's store, the boiler being placed upon an empty case. About a gallon (if cold water was poured into the instrument, the asbestos lamp was charged with kerosene, and after a short oration extolling the many virtues of the "Tara* wera boiler" those whn had stop-watches were askod to produce them and tai<o the ex'icc niimhur of seconds in which the boiler did it* work. Several watches wore soon "on the job," a iint-.:h was appl'ed and away sped tha watches. Thirty-tiye seconds was passed and yt-t t!m water did net boil, and, to tell th-i liMtli, it. was close upon a minute before that event happened The sceptic* "did ••' crin," but th«y alinitted that even that was wonderfully quick work. Mr Mi:(ila-han pointed out that a draught had blown thu flo-m.) away from the- water jacket, and asked for anothfir trial with a break-wind to stop the. draught. This was erocted, and another trial startnd (of course with more cold water). The sceptics wers preparing to I'iiich outright this liri.e, but befcii'.i their jnoparai.ioiia were completed the smiles with which their fiices weiii wreathed ware changed to looks of astonishment, tor the. water was boiling— time 10 seconds. It was thought this could not bo correct but it was verified repeatedly by numerous trials, and the average time was from 18 to 20 seconds. The volcano from which the wonderful little instuiinent received it name could not do it much quick?! , .

Tho Post is responsible for the fiillowii.h': —The of Customs at a nortlu<rn port ins recently;superannuated, granted a pension and retiring allowancu, r l.irecl from the service, and received a I tv.sinitation of 100 uuinca* from the merch-atit-i of the port with which he has been U'imicutuiJ for many v««rs. So far so good, but the public were surprised to find that after all thi-: had happed the ' mipi iMiinuated ' official was moved to the collectorship "f one of the busiest ports in the colony. The explanation is so simple at to >m startling. "The ' asred ' official was r tirud as havingatt lined three score yean?. Hu enme down to Wellington, proved that lie was only fifty-five, and mildly sungeatod that under the circumstances the department should present him with five years, hill pay. At this was something the department had not taken into its calculations he was ' superannuated ' to a bigger port.

As doubtless our Waikato farmers have from previous experience seen t'ie wisdom of getting really sound and clean seed, we think they will be glad on these grouuds, and because competition is the life of business, to encourage the efforts of the much-respected firm of Messrs Cnthbertson and Walker, who are advertising their extensive assortment of seed, with other lines in their business, elsewhere in our columns. Thay have n capital stock of red and white clover, alayke, cow grass, trefoil, timothy, rib grass, meadow fescue, meadow foxtail, sheep fescue, hard fescue, rib fescue, tall fescue, crested dog-tail, poa pratenses and poa trivialis. Of colonial seeds, they have some fine cocksfoot, rye gra«s (IVrennial), Poverty Bay rye grass, Italian rye grass (colonial grown), prairie and rat-s-tail grasses. Of root crop seeds, they have some very healthy-looking rape, aberdeen turnip and white stone turnip. In manures, they display a large variety and of good quality of runcorn, boned.ist, bone meal, superphosphates and salt. They have lursre stocks of fencing materials in barbed wire and plain black wire. The firm are also wool brokers and commission agents, and offer the highest price for all classes of produce such as wool, hides, skins, gum, flax, butter, cheese and eggs. They purchase on commission all kinds of goods, and forward the same with care and despatch. They are most prompt and satisfactory in all business matters. We feel sure that thosa of our readers who favour them with orders will find the latter satisfactorily executed. Mr Cuthbertson, the senior partner, is favourably known in Auckland business circles, and Mr Walker is a much-respected settler of Wairoa South.
