A writ claiming £OOO damages for al- • leged malicious prosecution has keen i served on Mr W. Toss will at the instance : of Mr W. J. Moreland. We ha d the pleasure of inspecting some photo groups at the studio of Mr J. E coles this morning. Amongst them is a j piloto of the members of the Vile family, taken on the dav of the celnoration pf the i golden wedding of Mr and Mrs Vile, i senior. The contractors for tho construction of J the road round the Matarua creek, in the ‘ Mangahao, are making excellent progress. Fi\«» men have been working on this road | lor the prist fortnight, and have made an j excellent track with the limestone blocks j taker, from the slip*. The two con- : factors are Messrs Kippenberger and Carroll. At Masterton on Tuesday Mr Charles Perry, a well-known athlete, was married to Miss Annie Jane Yates. The church was packed with spectators. The Her. A. V. Grace performed the ceremony. Babbits would appear to be still on tiie increase in this district. On Monday Mr I Ellis*, of Xikau, in the Woodville-Man j g:\imo Block, shot one of these trouble- | some rodents.* He had suspected the ■ and obtained a good dog with the result | I that he started up and shot one of the J j A determined attempt to commit rape ] was made on Monday evening last, between five and six o'clock at Scarborough. A young girl about 14 years of age, the daughter of a highly respected settler, was proceeding after her parents'cows, accompanied bv a younger sister eight or niue years of age, when she was accosted by a young man who was riding by. The girl made no reply, but the fellow got off his horse and insisted on accompanying her. His persistence alarmed the girl and with some intuition of his purpose she eagerly noted every detail of the fallow's clothing and appearance and of the appearance si his horse. They had not proceeded far before the girl was sail ed and thrown down and an attempt made to commit iho offonco. Both girls ssrcanied lustily, and an answering whistle from a navvies'tent some distance away ro alarmed the as sailnnt that hedassisted. and after bestow ing one or I wo kirks on hi* victim, mounted his horse and rode off. On Tuesday ' (’oil stable Cooper whs informed of the incurrence and a description given of the I man’s appearance. On Wednesday, Cou stable Cooper arrested a young man named George Scrimshaw on suspiciou of being the perpetrator of tho outrage. The accused whs brought up yesterday before Messrs 11. \\. Briggs and A. Stewart, I s.f\, and the evidence of tho two girls taken. Accused was then remanded for a \\ eek. The Evening Post says that the present indications point to Sir Westbv Perceval as tho first President of the Bank .if Now Zealand. It also mentions the Hon \Y. Larunch ns a possible successor to Sir West by in London. It. is now alleged that the British Con ! sul, Hatch, of Bluetields. Nicaragua was released bv hie captors. The Government ! of the Republic of Nicaragua has decided j to banish the British Consul Hatch and | Slates Government has entered a protest j , ainst this step. A man escaped from the Hokitika gaol > one d.’v last wsok, and returned the same 1 evening of his own accord. This ealb to memory a story that is told of Hokitika | in the old days, when the prisoners were allowed out for an siring during the day, j ami were told that if they did wot return at i sunset they would be locked out.

It is intended to erect immediately, at Westminister, in commemoration of Cardinals Wiseman and Manning, a Roman Catholic Cathedral, capable of seating 100,000 people. The Basilica has been adopted, and it is estimated that the cost of the structure will be £250,000. The session of the Washington Congress has closed. A treaty between China and the United States has been ratified. It prohibits, for a period of tsn years, the immigration of Chinese. The North Island team heat New South Wales at Auckland, on Wednesday, by 15 points to three. Mr Hogg protested in the House on Tuesday night against the salary of the clerk and bailiff at Pahiatua being only £OO, while similar officers' at Danevirke arid Wairoa—considerably smaller places, he pointed out—are respectively £l5O and £2OO. Messrs Trewby Brothers give notice that on and after the Ist of September, they intend giving up the credit system and selling for cash only. TJjey are now going through their stock and marking down goods. By giving up the credit system they notify in our advertising columns that they will be able to sell from ten to fifteen per csßt below those who give credit. This stands to reason, as we know from experience, that however careful a firm is, they are bound te suffer sometimes by people who eannot. or will not, pay their debts. We wish the firm success in their venture. It is unI doubtedly a step in the right direction. Whatever tends to cheaper goods is a benefit to those who pay cash. The Wellington correspondent of the W.D. Times wires to his paper the news that it has been decided to reduce the freight for timber between Eketahuna and Wellington to 2s 6d per hundred feet. An accident which might bare been ati tended with most serious consequences j happened at Mavlurton on Monday. Mis*Wallace, sister-in-law to Mr W. Hirschi berg, was crossing the Waipoua bridge with one of Dr Beard's children in a per- ( ambulator, when a horse attached ;o a light trap—which was crossing the bridge at the time —was frightened by a schoolboy swinging his satchel, and swerving sud i denly, overturned the baby carriage. Miss Wallace was thrown down, but very courageously protected the child from harm, and we are pleased to say. escaped with nothing worse than some rather severe cuts and bruises about the arms. Tbs child was not injured in the least. At Coolgardie on August 16 an interesting case occupied the attention of the Warden's Court. Mr Elliott sued his partner, Mr Carter, to obtain specific performance of a contract to sell one-sixth interest in the Londonderry mine for £BOOO. Both parties were among the original prospectors of the claim, each holding a one-sixth interest. Elliott bought from Carter the whole of the latter s interest at the figure nisnliontd. ths money to be paid one month from the date of the agreement. The sale was made before the discovery leaked out. After the mine created such a furore the interest of the share was saleable at from £IS.CKO to .£2'’ 000. Elliott made a tender of the : money, but Carter did not complete the sale. The wardeYi ordered the spesific ! performance of the contract to sell. A dinner entirely cooked by electricity was given in London recently. The cost per guest was a fraction of a penny per course, the viands, it was explained, being unadulterated by gases. Says an exchange :—Some tall shearing i scores are reported from Teak Station, where twenty-four men put through 3925 sheep in 8 hours, just about 168 sheep per man. At Albury last season. Mitchell and icott, the two crack shearers of X. S. W.. met in the sinae shed and had a trial of strength. At .ne end of the day fright hoars) Mitchell had done 237 and Scott 235 sheep. | The actual monetary cost of a suit of clothes i* no test of its cheapness or ! otherwise.
