An English setterbifcch in the possession of Mr C. Cooper has given birth to a litter of ten pups, which can with safety be said to be the finest ever born in the district. They are by Baron, an imported dog who has gained numerous prizes in all the Australian colonies and has never been beaten in any show. He probably has won more prizes than any other dog in the colony. The mother is by an imported dog, out of an imported bitch, and is also a well-known prize taker. The pups have already been eagerly sought after and several have been purchased by dogfanciers from other districts. The autumn rains have caused severe floods in the south-west of England. A thousand people have been rendered homeless in the vicinity of Bath, and the country around Gloucester is a huge lake. The Thames Valley is inundated from Windsor to Oxford. The town of Maidenhead is partially submerged. Huntley Palmer's biscuit factory at Beading is flooded, two thousand hands being thus deprived of work. The railways in the west and south are seriously blocked. The gale is now subsiding. Further complications have arisen between the House and tht Council in Western Australia, owing to the latter amending the loan estimates by striking out one item. The Colonial Secretary has now gone baek on his former assertion that the Council possesses similar privileges to those of the popular Chamber. The ship Culmere that was reported as missing, was caught in a hurricane off Spurn Head, at the Humbermouth, Yorkshire, and 21 lives were lost. A trawler which went to the rescue came into collision with the ship, with the result that the captain and his wife were killed. Four only of those on board were saved.

In the tests of the quality of milk supplied to the Umutaoroa factory lately, the percentages of butter fat varied from 2 - 5 to 4*l. The best quality milk was that supplied by Mr K. Will#, whose cattle are oil of Jersey breed, and have thus again proved their superiority as dairy cattle. Mr Will# has been to some trouble and expense in selecting pure Jersey cattle, and it seems he will be well repaid.—Advocate.

Judge Williams, in giving his decision in the .Loan and Mercantile Company cnee, said it would be proved in the long run whether it was preferable to suppress the truth and to prevent further disclosures. The light never did harm, even in commercial affairs. He hoped the decision of the Court would not injure anybody. He was satisfied the old Company did not desire to shield their directors, and he stopped the action aolely in the new Company’s interests. It was most reluctantly he did this, for it was unfortunate and regrettable from every point of view that the charges should remain unsettled. The now Company consented to pay the costs.

The ladies’ millinery window at Trewby Brothers is a sight worth seeing, and reflects great credit on the firm. Ladies' should avail themselves of the opportunity now afforded of seeing what we consider is the finest display of millinery that has ever been shown in Pahiatua.

So well are the Xuie grass hats made that the Maoris themselves are deceived by them.

Hats in fact to suit everybody. The actual monetary cost of a suit of clothes is no test of its cheapness or otherwise.

What is thought of a man who pays 25 per cent more fo • an artiefa that conies from a largo centre than he could get the same for in his own village. We think the general verdict wouM bo that he has more money than he knows what to do with. If you want to save 25 per cent mid get a well-fitting suit equal to anything you have had the pleasure of wearing, go to Trewby brothers. You will get as good a suit thoro for £;> lisas other tailors charge £5 5s for. Support local industry. It takes very little money now a-days to make a gentleman, so far as clothes go. We notice that complete outfits, including a suit of clothes, pair of boots, sox, shirt, and felt lint are now to he had at Trewby Brothers’ clearance sale for the astonishingly low sum of 22a fid. A person must be hard up indeed if he can’t sport a now outfit at such a price.
