Sittings of the local Courts will be held here on Wednesday next, opening at 10 a.m. The business to be disposed of includes the hearing of a claim before the Warden for wages due in connection with a mining property, one application for certificate of abandonment of an extended claim, and several ordinary applications.

A number of woolgrowers in the Masterton district who obtained advances on the past season’s clip are now being called upon (says the Wairarapa Da,ily Times) to make a refund, owing to the wool not realising in the niarket the price anticipated. In some instances the refund is a considerable amount, and is a severe strain on the resources of the growers, some of whom have had to get advances on the next clip to make up the reclamations on that of last year. ’ New Goods for the Winter SeasonBush Rugs, Blankets, Oil Coats, Mackintoshes, die., <fcc., at L.

Mr Armour did not stop to inquire what the anteeedants of the family were, but that same day sent food and money to them. Soon after ,a clergyman who knew of the case called on Mr Armour and told him he had made a great mistake in succouring the hungry ones. ‘ Why so ? ’ asked ■.the merchant. ‘ Because.’ was the reply, * the woman is an irreligious sinner, fallen from grace and society.’ ‘ You,’ replied Mr Armour, ‘ are a canting bigot, unfit to teach the doctrines of Jesus Christ.

Owing to the fractiousness of a horse being driven in a sulky by Mrs H. J. Riley and a lady friend, a somewhat disastrous “ smash-up ” occurred on Tuesday last near the Port. The horse became frightened, and its restiveness caused one wheel of the sulky to break and come off. The occupants were precipitated on to the road, while the horse ran up Lewis street to the Schoolhouse, taking with it the remnants of the sulky. Here the vehicle became detached, and the frightened animal continued its course across the plains, and was eventually captured and brought back very little worse for its escapade. The ladies, too, were fortunately unhurt, the only damage being that suffered by the vehicle, which will require a lot of repairing.

A column of interesting reading matter will he found on our fourth page this week. When the fontingenters went away to South Africa they were extolled to the skies as the heroes of their country, and they were proudly told that “ New Zealand expected them to do their duty ; ” but now they have come back they find that New Zealand forgets to do its duty to them —and pay ! pay ! pay ! The fact is the khaki slump is on, and New Zealand is now sober, sick, and sorry after its Imperialistic razzle-dazzle; for it has to find, at once, about £6O per head for 1000 returned troopers, more or less, say £6o,ooo,—and more to follow.

Evidence gathers that the Boer is not the dull, lazy, ignorant person he was represented to be in the early days of the war. At an industrial exhibition held at St. Helena last November, a room was devoted to the work of the Boers, concerning which the Governor say:—“ As an object lesson to the St. Helenians it was most valuable, showing how perseverance and energy could triumph over almost insurmountable difficulties with the rudest implements, nails, pocket knives, self-made little planes and saws, (which are also exhibited) the tables and walls were covered with most artistic work in wood, bone and metals A large model of a gold-stamping mill, complete in all its details, excited much interest ami admiration. There was a great show of carved walking sticks, carved boxes, napkin rings made of beef bones, penholders, and picture frames, metal work in the shape of commemoration medallions, and one most lovely spray of a roce, with leaves in silver made out of a half-crown piece, very delicate and artistic., The maker was a jeweller by trade, and a skilful one, but his tools were of the rudest description, manufactured by himself.” Colonial Advertising Agency, 202 Hereford St., Christchurch, for everything connected with Advertising throughout the Colony.

We regret to have to record the death of Mrs Hursthouse, wife of Mr Richmond Hursthouse, Mayor of Motueka, and a gentleman well and favourably known amongst us. The deceased lady had been ailing for a long time, chiefly from paralysis, and her condition had been a continued source of anxiety to her friends. Mr Hursthouse was .in Wellington on public business in connection with the Motueka wharf when he received intimation of a serious turn, and, hurrying home at once, he arrived on Monday evening only to find that death had already taken place. The late Mrs Hursthouse leaves a family of eight children, all of whom are grown up.
