MANAIA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) Before Messrs J. Hunt and T. Taylor, J.'sP.j P. Eiehstadt was charged with theft of several articles from hid employer, and pleaded guilty. He was fined £5j or in default one month' s imprisonment. A movement is on foot for the reerection of the old A.C. • tower in the Domain, which was blown down some three months ago. Mr Meuli has taken the matter up and been round with a subscription list. He has already obtained over £20 for the purpose. It is estimated that the job will cost between £50 and £60 to raise the tower and make it secure again. It is to oe hoped that the required sum -will be raised, and this old landmark be once more erected. On Saturday next a putting competition for the ladies of the Golf <Jlub will take place on the local links, ior Mr Bennett's trophy.
