The scow Margaret arrived yesterday morning from Tairua, with a fall load of kauri fencing posts. The return football match between the local Club and a team representing the crew of H.M.S.

The Secretary of the Football Club informs us that be has received >i list of points submitted to and decided by the New Zealand Rugby Union, with reference to the interpretation of the laws of football and other matters.

A summary of the goods to be offered will be found in our advertising columns. Mrs M. Wright has found it will meet the wishes of her country customers to continue her great clearance sale for another week and will therefore sell at the greatly reduced sal e rates until Saturday night next. The tea-rooms, so much appreciated by the ladies both from town and country will be kept open as usual.' It appears from the printed despatches sent by Lord Ranfurly to the Home Government last yenr, that the re-survey of the coast of New Zealand, now being carried cut by vessels of the royal navy, was commenced at the request of the New Zealand Government, and thut the Colony- will have to pay half the cost of the work. The young daughter of a Native named Te Hura died at MaungaUpu about the middle of last week after a lengthy illness, during which the parents took the child to the Hamilton hospital and had her treated there for some time, but the disease appears, as is too often the case with the Native race, to have been allowed to obtain too strong a hold before medical aid was sought. The past season appears to hive been a very successful one with the Te Puke Co-operative Dairy Company and the balance-sheet, which will be in the hands of the shareholders in a week or so, will show a record balance; the additions now beiog carried out at the factory will practically double its size, besides carrying into effect other improvements, and will provide storage capacity for about 30 tons of cheese.

The gi<*t of the whole matter is contained in the following paragraph : — ' Your Commissioners therefore most respectfully beg to report to Your Excellency that, in their unanimous opinion, it is not desirable that New Zen land should federate with and become a State of the Commonwealth of Australia.'
