It is to be hoped, that such ' an unusual and unwelcome occurrence may never happen again. Perhaps a policeman or two at future parades would be advisable.

It i« ' worthy of note that not a single [landowner, when asked to sign a message, refused to, do so, and several insisted upon the wording of the telegrams being made stronger and more in favor :of the bill.' - Mr George Hastings,. of Hastings, has invented two new. chimneyicowls, intended to obviate the inconvenience ,o£ ; smoky chimineys. Theyifare. bas^ ipnjjjjhjj syphoniprinciple, and are called the ''Hastings syphon

cowls." The leading principle is the same. ; as in other cowls, the mouth being always ' directed in a direction contrary to the. prevailing wind, but there is in addition an ingenious arrangement which diverts any backdraughtor sudden gust which; may find ;its . way into the cowl, and prevents it entering- • the chimney. Mr Hastings will exhibit,tbise ■-" vcowls at the Agricultural and Pastoral So- I =ciety's Show next week. A * The anniversary of Trinity Church Wes- * leyan Sunday school will be celebrated on * Sunday next, when the Rev. W. Baumber, t of Wellington, will' preach morning and c evening. la the afternoon a children's choral service will be held,, when a special address ; will be given to the scholars. Suitable \ hymns will be sung at each service, and as : the childreD have been practising for some • time they will doubtless acquit themselves as well as on former occasions. Additional i interest is attached to the anniversary as the s Rev. W. Baumber has been invited to sue- I ceed the Rev. J. J. Lewis, who, according to Methodist usage, removes in April next. The matinee performance at the Theatre ( Royal yesterday afternoon was a great success, J the building being crowded -with a delighted . c audience of juveniles. The performance 1 went smoothly throughout, nob a hitch of any t kind ooourring. The programme was repeated t to a good audience last evening. For tin* evening a complete change of programme is announced.

Major Butts held a Government inspection of both companies of volunteers on Clivesquare last evening. There were 45 members of the artillery present, and 52 of the Rifles. Captain Garner (and Lieutenants Ross and M'Cartney were in charge of the Artillery, and Captain Blythe and Lieutenants Duncan and King were in command of the Rifles. Major Butts complimented tne men of both companies on their efficiency, and stated that at musketry drill on Friday evening he would exhibit and explain one of Morris's patent aiming and sighting tubes. He also stated that these tubes would be supplied to volunteers at £1 5s each, and cartridges for use with the tubes at 2s 6d per hundred. The Garrison Band took part in the parade. Solemn Requiem Mass was celebrated by Father Sauzeau at St. Mary's Catholic Church at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, assisted by the Rev. Fathers Ahem and Cassidy, the Master of the Ceremonies being the Rev. Father Kirk, of Wanganui. In the sanctuary were the Revs. Father Reignier and Grogan. A very strong and efficient choir, under the direction of a member of the congregation, sang the most solemn and impressive of all the musical services in the Catholic Church — the Gregorian Requiem Mass — the music being rendered with a plaintive and devotional feeling quite in keeping with the style of music. After the Mass the pall was removed from the coffin in which the late Father Forest was lying, the glass lid leaving the body exposed to the view of the large concourse of people, who testified the respect they entertained for the memory of the deceased by taking a last glimpse of his placid features, lying stilled , in death after 80 years battling with the world.
