The following resolution was passed at a meeting of the Executive of the Independent Order of Odd-Fellows. It refers to a matter which is of interest to the Friendly Societies in New Zealand' and which has lately been brought prominently before their notice. The resolution is : —“ That the Standing Committee, having been informed that all employes in the railway Government service are compelled, on the penalty of losing their situations, to join a friendly society called ‘Theßailwa v Benefit Society,’ are of opinion that such a regulation i 9 in itself arbitrary and tyrannical, and calculated to be injurious to friendly societies generally ; and that the G.M. and G.S. and G.W. be a committee to wait upon the representatives of the Friendly Societies in Dunedin, and urge upon them the necessity of taking some united action for the purpose of having such regulation repealed ” The following extraordinary, and, we should say, highly improbable story appears in the Lyttelton Times lobby gossip of all places : —“ A horrible rumor is being circulated respecting the disappearance of a man formerly residing not a hundred miles from Wellington, and although the police pooh pooh the matter, personal inquiries made on the spot convince me that there should be a searching inquiry. For obvious reasons I witi not mention names. The man disappeared some weeks ago, the police alleging that the last time he was seen alive lie was coming out of a public house. But neighbors allege that for two hours afterwards t hey heard his voice in altercation with his wife and her paramour, and that next day, and for several days afterwards, enormous fires were kept up in this house, and the smell of burning flesh was so horrible that complants were made to the Inspector of Nuisances. Surely there is a case here for investigation.
