A meeting of the Pahiatua School Committee took place last evening, and was adjourned until this evening. Pahiatua was r/i fete yesterday afternoon, and a stranger in tho town would nave wondered what caused the exuberance of spirits. The fun commenced by a raw-boned son of the Emerald isle, ex- ! hilirated b a smell of mountain dew, getting to tho leeward of a well-known and powerfully-built settler and landing him a staggering blow under the auricular. The assaulted one turned round and for a time the “ go ” was fast and furious. But meanwhile the bellicose spirit had extended to the combatants’ dogs and they, 1 > nt sail for each other in glorious stylo. W hile i‘ lasted the onlookers had an ex- ! citing time in watching the bipeds and i quadrupeds settle their differences. In | the second round, however, the repro- ' sentativo of Ould Ireland was laid out ! and failed to come up to the scratch, and | just about the same moment his cauine ! pet succeeded in knocking the stalling out I of the other dawg, so the fun ended for a . time. It was only for a time though ! for presently a foot race was started, j About 15 entered, and the contestants wore handicapped by Mr Geo. Avery. A 100 yards course was measured out in | the middle of the Main-street by a competent gentleman. The fifteen were put in places and sent off by Mr K. Smith. Joe Ryan was quickest on his pins and scooped the pool. Then the gentleman who had been holding the big end of a ball of string quietly dropped it into his pocket and slipped away. Tho fun seamed to be all over : there were no more bellicose men or dogs around, so tho crowd quietly melted away and in a few moments the streot wore its usual quiet-appearance. Wo have this day opened up two bal. of the latest patterns in sanitary wall- I papers, and have marked them off v« •• i low to suit the times. Scrims, i*ks, i glass of all kinds, varnishes, oils, leads, ] colors, and blushes in stock.
