Tho Palmerston North Rifle Volunteers parade this erening, when the company will also be called upon to elect a Captain and a second Lieutenant. . Of late there has been a considerable 'amount of siokness m Palmerston, but we arc glad to .learn that most of those who^ hare been ill are now getting about again. ' We remind members of ihe United Manawatu Lodge 1721, 8.C., that the usual monthly Lodge of Instruction will be held this efening m the Led^e room. Visiting brethren are inyited to attend. The following members of the Education Board retire by, rotation after: the next monthly meeting, . rix , Messrs , Sanson, Baker and Taplin. . We trust the Commit" tees at this end of tho. district will work together m the endeavor to return local i At the Feilding R.M. Court on Wednesday^Esteven Bellve was fined 10s and costs, for serring Louisa Cook with two piuts of beer on Sunday last : M. K. Samuel was fined 40s and costs for allowing betting on hs premises at Aw ahuri, and a charge against same defendant of receiving stolen property was dismissed. The publicans seem to bo haviog a lire'y time up Feilding way ju«t now. ; . Those who desire to improve their breeds of- poultry will have an. excellent opportunity of doing so at a sale to be held by Keasrß Halcombe arid tsherwill at Feilding, on December 3. when the whole of Mr Retemeyer's pure-bred Brahmas, Houdani, Laugshans, ko ', will be offered. The sale .will take place at 4 p.m., after : the fowls have been exhibited at the Feilding Horticultural Show. ;/ -: '-•-:.; /■'; y-v At the sitting of Hhe 'District- "Court at Wanganui Judge Rawson refused to allow the discharge of a debtor who was not present, although, there were also no creditors present. He said it did not do to mak* >hese bankruptcies too easy ; they were easy enough as it was. Although there were no cieditors present, it might be that they seeing tho debtor had not come m town to attend the Court thought the matter could not go on without him and so remained behind. i All over the colony the Acclimatisation Societies appear to be working vigorously with the tingle exception of the Manawatu. Acclimatisation Soceity. We believe a body bearing that name does exist bat we are entirely m the dark as to the manage* ment of it. Now and again it has convened a meeting through a medium which is n ever seen by tht public, and the natural result has been no attendance. It is to be hoped that the management will endeavor to route itself t* action or that the matter | will be taken up by others more energetic. The members of the Salvation Army m Palmerston complain that on several occasions recently while proceeding home wards quietly after their meetings they have been pelted with eggs not of saleable quality and I other obnoxious missiles. We' trust this form of annoyance will be at once discontinued, or that any larrikin perpetrating it will be tauvht that insult of the kind » not allowed by law. While we have no sympathy whatever with the outdoor demonstrations of the Army, we must protest against attacks of this kind being made^on helpless women and ohildren. The Star reports that before commencing the stock sale at Feilding. on Thursday last Col. Gorton read the whole of the Sheep Act 1878, Amendment Act 1884, and particularly called attention to' clanse &of the Act, which rea^i as follows :•— lf any sheep infected with lice shall be found m any pound or public yard, or m any yard of yards at which sheep are offered for sale, the owner of the sheep so infected shall be liable to a penalty of not less than one pound, nor moie than five pounds." He respectfully cautioned vendors of sheep to see that the animals were quite free from infection before being btoucat to the gale yards, and said the In pector bad no opiiop m the matter of inflicting a penalty for th§ infrirgement of the said Act.
