To-morrow Messrs Abraham and Williams hold a stock sale at Shannon.

Arrangements are being made for a river excursion for the Rongotea school children on Wednesday next. Another patient has died of plague at Perth. Out of eight cases so far four have proved fata!. The school cricketers are now using the asphalt pitch in the school ground, very much to their advantage.

The item of furniture mentioned in the N.Z. Loan and M.A. Co's, sale at the Motoa estate has been withdrawn. Another date, later on, will be fixed for the sale of this line.

Some foolish person broke into a building in Lorne-street, Wellington, and removed a safe into the garden, which was burst open with dynamite. After all the work only a few shillings was obtained.

The neighbourhood of Levin will soon be the place, to live out of, with the different public institutions to be established there. The latest novelty is the settlement of twenty Angora goats on the State Farm. There has, at one time and another been much said about a graduated income tax, of course we have that with us now, but it is nothing new, as this was a reform brought into Athens by Solon, and little objection was heard about it.

There is nothing new under the sun 1 Artesian wells were sunk by the Romans even in the Sahara. Massage was a very ancient practice also of the Romans. In fact what is being discovered appears to be matters that have from age been long forgotten. The Bank of England, becoming alarmed at the London County Council’s expenditure, declined to advance five millions asked for by the Council, but offered two millions. Various schemes contemplated by the Council have consequently been abandoned,

Lieutenant-General Sir lan Hamilton, at the dinner held in celebration of the relief of Ladysmith, commenting on the Boer Contingent with the Somaliland expedition, predicted that there would be five thousand Boer horsemen fighting on our side in the next great war. The volunteers want a site for a drillshed, and have gone so far as to inquire of the Borough Council where they can get a suitable one. Of course they could have consulted the list of sections published in our columns by Mr Alfred Cook, but failing any of these we know that Mr Robert Perrean has a most suitable site at a reasonable figure for sale, being that land between Mr Walker’s shop and Mr Moran’s house. This may save our worthy Borough Councillors any trouble. Four more splendid oil paintings by H. W. Kirkwood are on view at Miss L. Cook’s stationer’s shop. The prices are 5 guineas each, and these works of art are well worth the figure. Two of these fine pictures have already been sold. Miss Cook has been appointed sole agent in Foxton for “ Old Manawatu,” a book written by T, Lindsay Buick, Esq., and which is now in the press. Orders are now being taken for the book, and we can recommend those who desire a copy to place their orders early. The book will have a splendid cover, and will also be nicely printed, and should become as equally interesting reading as the same author’s former work "Old Marlborough." -

Messrs O. Cook and Co., advertise that they are commencing business as general carriers and shipping agents at Foxt®n.

The surveyors for the Montoa estate arrived yesterday. To-day Messrs Stevens and Austin visited the estate to further consider the subdivisions.

Mr Alfred Cook is removing his office into the same building that is now partly occupied by Miss L, Cook’s stationer’s shop.

To-day we had the pleasure of renewing our acquaintance with Mr W. Loudon who with Mrs Loudon are taking a tour through New Zealand. Mr Loudon in tlie early days of Foxton had a store in town with his brother and mother. Mr W. Loudon, who looks very well, left here in 1872 and went to Sydney in which town he entered business and ten years ago he gave up business to lead a life of well earned ease and retirement. He made many enquiries as to the old settlers. Useful to be at tile headquarters of any movement. Even nearly 3000 years ago this was exemplified when Solon was empowered to make new laws for the Atheniansi Before his law for the abolition of debts was published he took friendly counsel with a few friends on the subject. These persons, who must have been of very different character from the great law giver himself, hearing what Was in prospect, hurried away, borrowed as much money as they could raise, and bought land with it; and then, when the proclamation came announcing the abolition,of all debts, they were relieved of the necessity of repaying the money they had borrowed, while they remained in unquestioned possession of the laud which they had bought. A pleasant tribute to Madame Melba was initiated by Mr Cuyler Hastings, of the Williamson Company) at Auckland on Monday evening. At the performance of “ If I were King,” which the diva attended, Mr Hastings picked up a goblet, and raising it as though to propose a toast, said, “ Here’s to the sweetest singer this side of Heaven. And ’’—looking straight at Madame Melba—“ if nly eyes do not dazzle me, I see her now,” The audience quickly rose to the actor’s meaning) and therefollowed a loud and prolonged outburst of cheering and applause in the diva’s honour. Madame Melba, by an inclination of her head towards Mr Hastings, acknowledged his tact and courtesy, and a smiling bow towards the audience expressed to them her pleasure at the little incident.

The Majeroni Company again performed to a delighted audience at the Public Hall on Tuesday evening. The piece staged was ‘‘ East Lynne,” and it is needless to add that in the hands of such capable artists a faithful pourtrayal of the play was given. Miss Nellie Ogden as Lady Isabel, Miss H. Meade (Barbara Hare), and Miss May Granville (Miss Carlyle), took principal parts, the other lady characters also carrying out their parts well. Mr George Majeroni was splendid as Sir Francis Levison, the villain, and Mario Majeroni was also a great success as Archibald Carlyle, the other parts being also well filled. The drama was nicely staged and mounted, and much satisfaction was expressed by the large audiences at having witnessed the performances given by this talented company. They can always rest assured of having good .houses at any time they may return to Foxton. SANDER and BON- EUCALPYTi EX TRACT.
