Abraham & Williams make additions to their Puhiatua sale for to-morrow.

Hawkins & Oudaille insert important additions to their Pahiatua stock list for on Tuesday, 3rd July next. On Friday night last the premises of the Goldsmith Hail Company, opposite l.he Evening Post, Wellington, were broken into and upwards of £3OOO worth of jewellery abstracted. The names of Messrs W. 11. Hawkins and P. Hackett are on tiie programme for the concert at Dancvirke on Wednesday night. Charles Maloney, supposed to be connected with the recent disturbance at .\lakuri has been arrested at Glencoe Station, East Coast, by Constable Collerton.

The brilliantly-written political notes which, during previous sessions of Parliament were a leading feature in the columns of the New Zealand Times, have been commenced this session as cleverly as ever. They aro from the pen of the editor, Mr It. A. Loughnan, one of the most gifted journalists in the colony. The omniscient Evening Post reporting an entertainment at Poriruasav* the music was provided by the Pahiatua Brass Band. Probably Porirua was meant.

Ihs contract for the construction of the Mangatainoka bridge has been secured by Scott Bros., of Christchurch. The work will cost about dQIO,OOO. We hear that the last flood has made f ilings look serious for the safety of the N’gawapurua Bridge between Pahiatua and Woodville. This is one of the largest and most expensive public works in the North Island. It must have cost from first to last not far short of j£30,000. About £4OOO was spent some years ago on pro tection works on this side of the river. Unluckily, however, now the river is changing its course, and is cutting into its northern bank. A huge slice of the bank about a quarter of a mile above the bridge, was cut awav by the last flood, and a few more floods like it would go near to cutting awav its foundations. The bridge, though it is only used as a traffie bridge at present, is part of the Wellington-Woodville railway system, and is intended to carry the train in a year or two’s time. We trust that the Public Works Department will lose no time in looking into this matter. The foregoing is from the Evening Press. To ihe latter sentence we emphatically ejaculate “ Hear, hear!"

Dr Wilfordhas been appointed certifying officer under the Public Health Act for the Vaccination Districts of Wellington. Wairarapa and surrounding districts, vice the late Dr Henrv.

Several of the candidates for municipal honors intend speaking at the public meeting this evening. Extra pair of trousers. —Revolution in the tailoring trade. Trewbv Brothers are now taking orders for three guinea suits to measure with an extra pair of trousers. A fine range of tweeds to select from. All orders executed on the premises.— Trewby Brothers, outfitters. The actual monetary cost of a suit of clothes is no test of its cheapness or otherwise. The cheapest suit is that which last* longest, fits best and looks best, and this combination you can only secure by patronising a thoroughly practical tailor. A. BLAIR will fit you to a nicety with a suit from his large and firstclass stock of goods. jy3l

What is one person's loss is another's gain. The whole of the large and varied stock of ladies and childrens ulsters, capes. ;tnd skirts at Coburg House, to be cleared at twenty-five per cent under marked price. Ulsters marked 19s fid can now be bought at 14s 6d. A splendid stock to

select from. Trewby Brothers are the losers ; the buyers will be the gainers. The man in business who does not ad vertise is like a man who kisses a pretty girl in the dark : He may know what he doing, but nobody else does.

C HILDRKN’s ENDOWMENTS WITHOUT RISK. Table ll.R.—This table removes the only objection to the ordinary form of Child's Endowment, viz., thg fear that mtheevent of death of parent or guardian, the Premiums would not be kep; up. It is

therefore a combination of endowment and assurance without risk of forfeiture from any cause. Every possible contingency is covered, and a good rate of compound interest is guaranteed at the end of the term by the policy, which is also nonforfeitable while surrender value lasts. Example.—A father, age 30, endows his son, age t. for X‘2oo. payable on his reaching 21 years of age. the annual premium being d£7 2s fid. If the father s.'iouid die any time after the first payment as above, instead of the widow having to continue paying premiums, the endowment becomes a paid-up policy, and matures when the boy readies 21 years of age. In event of the child’s death during currency of the policy, the whole of the premiums paid will be refunded.—Mutual Life Association of Australasia. E. B. Hare, resident agent.
