An oil-engined boat of whaleboafc pattern has been provided for the use of the Rev. Mr. Goertz, the Anglican clergyman on Stewart Island, in order to enable him to communicate with the more distant districts of his charge. The Bluff correspondent to the Otago Daily Times states that by this means the mutton-bird islanders will no longer be cut. off from religious services. Referring to the Hon. R. M'Kenzie's scheme for preventing men being put off road works in the winter, the Napier Daily Telegraph says: —"What is claimed may, or may not be, just what is required, but the reference recalls the trouble in this district in connection with Waimarama roads. The block involved was balloted for in March last The settlers were loaded with payments of interest in connection with a loan to road the land. The work of roading was commenced. Then, at a very inopportune time in the winter, whe-n the problem of unemployment was causing some apprehension, the men were taken off. The settlers complained, reasonably enough, for not only were they left without the roads they had a right to, but they were being called upon to pay the charges incidental to the construction of the roads unjustly denied them. It is possible that the conduct the settlers so bitterly complained of was not contrary to common sense, but this has not yet been shown. If the Waimarama difficulty has led the Minister to think out a scheme for preventing occurrences of the kind in future, the troubles of the Waimarama «ettler&, grievous to be borne as they were, can be regarded as having at least, led to a reform which will render impossible any recurrence of a similar state of affairs." Tho annual meeting tp wind up the Newtown Cricket Club will bo held tomorrow evening in tho Athletic Park . Rooms, Rintoul-sfcreet.

Mr. Hamilton Hunter, the retiring ! Consul for the Tongan Islands, observes | in his last report that importers are more inclined to purchase in Sydney than in Auckland, because there is a greater variety of goods procurable, and, as a rule, at a lower cost. Kit were not for foodstuffs, produce, timber, and fruit cases, the trade of the Protectorate with the Commonwealth would exceed that of. New Zealand. Freights from Sydney and from" Auckland are the same. And, remarks the Herald, Tonga is only one-third the distance from Auckland that it ia from Sydney. , Tho annual meeting of the Young Women's Christian Association will be held on Wednesday evening next.
