The alteration of the time-table on the Otago Central line (wires onr Cromwell correspondent) is causing much, discontent here. Surely the journey from Clyde to Thmedin was long and tedious enough without lengthening it by half an hour. Neither does the changing of the luncheon stoppingplace from Ranfurly to Kokonga find any favor. The question of establishing public markets will again engage the attention of the Oity Council. A special committee, consisting of the Mayor and Crs Tapley awl Douglas, have been appointed to go into tbe matter and report to the General Committee.

St. Kilda ponltTy-keepers are warned to take- precautions to sea that their poultry a * B I _f eCOTol y locked in at night. Lost night a despicable sneak thief visited the promises of a Musselburgh earned off a fine, healthy clutch of thirteen chicks, the mother bird being loft behind. The theft has been placed m the hands-of the local police, and it is to be hoped the individual who could descend to brand himself a tiiief for tho sake of a few chicks will receivo his just deserts.
