A panorama of the world, collossal mirror of New Zealand, etc., will be held in the Oddfellows' Hall, Hamilton East, to-night, and in the Public Hall, Cambridge to-morrow (Lu'iday evening). We understand that the residents of Whatawhata are again petitioning the Waipa County Council, to have the road made down by the Waipa bridge to the lauding, as being a work of considerable inportanco. la tlie report of the Te Awarautu R M. Court, in last Tuesday's issue, the case of IVrel! v. Schussler was omitted. Judgment went for the plaintiff for amount claimed (£5 3a Id) and coats £2 -s). Mr Gresham appeared for the plaintiti. We are very pleased to hear that Miss Violet Griham, daughter of Mr W. A Graham, The Lodge, Hamilton, has been appointed pupil teacher in the Hamilton East School. It will be remembered that this young lady passed a very successful examination some few months ago. A new industry has just been established at Nelson (says the New Zealand Trade Review), Mr Williams Houlker having erected there a shot tower for the manutacture of leaden shot of all sizes. The import duty of 10s per cwt is thought to offer a sufficient margin on which to work the enterprise. The New Zealand Clothing Factory notify that, pending future arrangements, the branch shop at Hamilton i!iast will be closed this week. Those who have not get visited thi3 establishment are invited to do so, or to forward their ad dresses to Mr Gribble, when they will be waited upon at their own residences. We have been requested to draw the attention of the Tuhikaramea Road Board to some bad places in the swamp road leading to Hamilton. A few days work with a man and horse would make this road good for the summer. At present there are some very nasty holes, and between these and the projecting stumps of old trees, travelling over it is anything but safe. The editor of a paper published in Port Pirie, South Australian, has two elasses of envolopes for forwarding accounts to subscribers. The envelopes for current accounts art of imitation salin, and are per' fumed with musk and lavender, while those for overdue bills are made of the commonest buff paper, and are ornamented with a skull and cross-bones. This ingenious journalist, says Melbourne Punch wilt be a good deal more lucky than the average editor if the hint conveyed by skull and crnssboiios has any effect on his defaulting debtors. The man who doesn t pay his paper bill promptly is generally the kind of man who would not bo shamed into doing su even if the unhappy editor were to send his own skull and crossbones in proof that he had died from starvation brought about by having to wait too long fcr the money owod him.

A writer in the European. Mail say? : " How easy it is to damage by misleading report! the reputation of c n , food imports into this country ! The other day there appeared in un influential trade paper a statement that, owing to its detective qualities,' New Zealand cheese could be sold only at low rates—says 30s to 4bi. All this arose nut of some cheese coming to hand that had been injured in transit throught some mishap in the refrigerating arrangement. Sumo cheese landed from the lonic sold readily atolls per cwt I This is rather different from 30s ! & serious accident occurred. ftbout three miles outside Raglan yesterday afternoon to a young man named Markhaio, wt.o lias been living with Mr Laecelles at Raglan. Mr Markham was riding one horse and loading another when his stirrup leather broke, and he fell off, the led horse stamping on his !.b I >men. The young man, was conveyed into Riglan, where his injuries (which, it is feared, are of a serious internal nature) were at'onded toby Dr. Bay. Dr. Brewis, of Hamilton, was at once wired for, and he, in company with a friend of Mr Mark haul's, left for Raglan about ten o'clock last night.

Th.e Marvellous Steen-Smith Company of Mystic Entertainers are about to visit the "Waikato. Te Aroha, Te Awamutu, Kihikihi, Hamilt in and Cambridge dates are in our advertising columns. The reputation of this combination has already reached us, and a great treat is in anticipation. The verdict of the American Press is amply endorsed by the Auckland critics, who pronounce it to be the most bewildering and mystifying entertainment even produced in that city. Madame Steen's manifestations savour almost of the supernatural and Professor Steen s expose of spiritualistic tricks amusing and entertaining. Mr Oscar Smith, the polyphomst and ventriloquist, provides the amusing portion of what is undoubtedly the most unique and attractive performance which has even visited the Waikato. The representative, (Mr Travel's Vale) arrived here yesterday and left for Te Awamutu and Kikikihi, and will return to-day to prepare for the company's appearance here.
